Hidden Architectural Gems Revealed at Opera House By Jill Connors As workers peel away dusty wall fabric, faded carpeting, dropped ceilings, and false walls—not to mention sections of moldy ceiling and wall plaster—the original architectural details of the 1867 Opera House, on Washington Square, are slowly emerging. “I burst into tears when I saw the original proscenium this morning,” said Alison Vareika, as she toured the facility Tuesday. Vareika is chairwoman of the board of the Newport Performing Arts Center (NPAC), the group that is spearheading an effort to restore the Opera House as a venue for live entertainment. Tears of joy, that is. A $100,000 grant awarded to NPAC on June 23 from the Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust is making it possible to begin the long process of stabilizing the building and ultimately renovating the theater. Upon receiving the grant, NPAC wasted no time; a crew from Farrar & Associates began work within days. “They are doing a selective demolition,” explained NPAC board secretary Liz Drayton, referring to a construction method employed with historic buildings to preserve original details. Carpenters are carefully removing the structural vestiges of the Opera House’s decades-long use as a triplex movie theatre, from the 1970s until 2010. When a

false wall was removed on Tuesday, Vareika and Drayton could fully appreciate, for the first time, the interior volume of the original Opera House. “Isn’t it amazing!” grinned Drayton. The details that were emerging included a decorative plaster ceiling medallion, ornamental plasterwork on walls, decorative wooden panels that once concealed speakers for an organ, and the original proscenium arch. The ornamental plasterwork includes lyres, masks, and other arts-related motifs. “Everything that is original to the building is being preserved,” said Drayton. A pair of original seats is a case in point: Farrar & Associates construction superintendent Bob Murgo carefully carried two dusty upholstered seat cushions and their cast-metal side pieces into the lobby. “We found these in the dropped ceiling,” Murgo said. Even if these two seats are the only ones found, it will be enough for reproductions to be made at some point, noted Vareika. The goal of the work being done this week and next is a “reveal,” that is, to reveal the original details and condition of the structure, according to Drayton. A theatre designer from New York City, with whom the NPAC board has been in consultation for several years, will visit next week to assess the building from a stage and theatre point of view. Farrar

The original proscenium of the Opera House, built in 1867, is visible again for the first time in more than 40 years. Newport Performing Arts Center, a nonprofit organization, received a grant in late June to fund stabilization work on the historic building. (Photo by Rob Thorn) & Associates will also assess what exactly will be needed to stabilize the building itself. NPAC was incorporated in 1999 with the goal of pursuing a performing arts center in Newport; in 2002, the group purchased the Opera House building for $1 million, and has been seeking funding for a major renovation.

“We envision a dynamic audience circulating through Washington Square,” said Drayton. NPAC sees a symbiotic relationship developing with other cultural facilities in town, including the cinema-oriented, 500-seat Jane

“The update is to equalize the tax burden, it keeps people from paying too little or too much.” Allan Booth Newport Tax Assessor and a statistical update. The last statistical update was completed in 2008; by law, updates must be done every three years. Allan Booth, Newport tax assessor, said the property inspection will take less than 10 minutes. “Essentially, the inspectors will verify the number of baths, number of bedrooms, and size of finished living space. They will also note major things, like has a garage been built or torn down.” He also stated that every inspector will have a clearly visible photo ID nametag. If no one is at home when the inspectors arrive they will leave a door hanger with contact information so the owner can call and schedule an inspection. If the inspector has arrived at an inconvenient time, homeowners are permitted to deny them entry and reschedule. There are only four inspectors who are assigned to the Newport contract; currently they will be attempting to do all inspections Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday or evening time slots will be added later if necessary. The statistical update is done to acknowledge the changes in the real estate market. “The update is to equalize the tax burden, it keeps people from paying too little or too much,” Booth said. “This is not a fund raising event on the part of the city. They adjust or raise the tax rate to take care of those issues.” For more information or if you have questions contact Mr. Booth at 845-5365 or by email abooth@ cityofnewport.com

Bike Newport Installs New Racks By Meg O’Neil Finding a parking spot at the Jane Pickens Theater just got a lot easier. However, it’s not your typical kind of parking. Hoping to encourage a more active lifestyle, Bike Newport, part of the nonprofit organization U.S. Open Cycling Foundation, with Bari George at the helm, has teamed up with local businesses to distribute specially made bike racks around Newport. Jane Pickens, on Washington Square, is the first local business to have the new bike rack installed. Located under the fire escape, the iron structure was salvaged from Manhattan more than 15 years ago and was recently restored at Aardvark Antiques Welding Shop on JT Connell Highway. Jay Silvestri, whose father started Aardvark Antiques in 1969, was excited to be part of the project. “That’s our style here,” he explains. “We take something already existing in one use, and then customize and alter it to where it fits next.” The custom bike rack blends in perfectly at Jane Pickens. Woven seamlessly into the iron fire exit, the new bike stand provides an opportunity for theater goers to ditch the cars and safely lock up their bikes alongside the theater. Kathy Staab, owner of the theater, has revealed that the public input on the new bike rack has been overwhelmingly positive. “My customers love the idea of riding their bikes to the theater, and really, how many towns can you do that in?” she says. While the Pickens is the first local business to sponsor and receive the new bike rack, 12 other sponsors have stepped forward to contribute a specially made bike rack to the city, courtesy of The Steel Yard in Providence. The other sponsors are the Historic Hill Neighborhood

Racks will be placed in visible and strategic locations throughout the city, based on an inventory taken by Bike Newport, each with a special plaque commemorating their donations to the project. Not the typical bike racks that you see around town, the ones being made by The Steel Yard are constructed using salvaged anchor chains from defunct boats, which George claims will add an, “attractive and historically appropriate dimension to Newport that can really give a shot in the arm to the biking community.” She hopes that the racks will all be installed throughout town in the next eight weeks. Bike Newport has worked over the past several months to promote biking in Newport through

the first ever Bike to Work Day held in May, Community Bike Rides, and creating a map of the most bicycle friendly streets in Newport. Next up on George’s agenda is working with the Newport Police Department, developing a “Rules of the Road” pamphlet, to be given to people who are caught breaking the laws while riding. George stresses the importance of all cyclists knowing all the laws when it comes to pedaling the streets. “In a nutshell, cyclists have the same rights to the road, but also the same responsibilities,” she explains. Working with the NPD helps get the word out to the community about the Rules of the Road.” George has also been working with the city to post signs around town alerting drivers to be aware of cyclists while sharing the streets. In addition, Bike Newport received a grant from Narragansett Bay Wheelmen for the signs, and the city has been installing them at necessary locations.

King Park Open Once More for Swimming The Fifth Ward has its neighborhood beach back. Mayor Stephen C. Waluk joined with fellow councilors Henry F. Winthrop and Naomi L. Neville, under bright sunny skies on Saturday, to officially open King Park Beach to swimming. Though it has become a popular launching point for kayakers and paddleboarders, the water around the park has been mostly quiet since the beach was closed some six years ago due to budgetary and environmental concerns. But with funding for a lifeguard in place, and an agreement with the state Department of Health to test weekly water samples, the beach is now ready for swimmers. Waluk, who grew up in the Fifth Ward, said that the beach should once again provide families in the area a safe and accessible place for recreation during the summer months. Also attending the opening were City Manager Edward F. Lavallee, Beach Manager Eric Reese, former City Council member Mary C. Connolly, and Beach Commission Chair Herb Armstrong.

NEWS BRIEFS General Assembly Highlights For more information visit http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/News/

n Civil union bill to governor

The Assembly approved and transmitted to the governor legislation allowing civil unions for same-sex couples in the state. The bill grants legal rights to same-sex partners without the historical and religious meaning associated with the word “marriage.”

n 2012 budget approved

With Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee’s signature, the Fiscal Year 2012 budget approved by the General Assembly is now law. The $7.7 billion plan is designed to address the state’s structural deficit and fully fund its new education spending formula without widespread expansion of sales taxes, closing the state’s initial deficit of approximately $300 million through cuts to some programs and state department consolidations, as well as a small surplus and higherthan-expected revenues from the previous year.

n Seatbelt primary offense

Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed into law legislation approved by the General Assembly to make the failure to wear seatbelts by adults a primary offense in Rhode Island , punishable by a $75 fine. Until now, failure to wear seatbelts was a secondary offense and police could cite a violation only if a stop had been made for a primary offense. The new law makes RI eligible for more than $3.5 million in federal funds.

n Bills pass to address Internet child porn, ‘sexting’ by minors As part of an effort to fight Internet child pornography and other kinds of transmissions of sexually explicit materials, the state legislature has approved two pieces of legislation. One by Rep. Peter Martin (D-Dist. 75, Newport ) and Sen. Beatrice A. Lanzi (D-Dist. 26, Cranston) that will prohibit ‘sexting’ by minors and set a lesser, status offense rather than exposing minors to the much more significant penalties of regular child porn laws. The other, also by Representative Martin and Senator Lanzi – gives law enforcement agencies administrative subpoena power to obtain certain information from Internet service providers relative to child pornography investigations. n Pardon for John Gordon

Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee pardoned John Gordon, an Irish immigrant who is believed to have been wrongly arrested, convicted and executed in 1845 for the murder of a wealthy mill owner. Joining in a ceremony at the Old State House in Providence , the scene of the John Gordon trial, were sponsors of legislative resolutions urging the governor to grant the pardon, Rep. Peter Martin and Sen. Michael J. McCaffrey (D-Dist. 29, Warwick). John Gordon was the last individual executed in Rhode Island.

Local General Assembly officials: Sen. Louis P. DiPalma (D-Dist. 12, Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, Tiverton); President of the Senate, M. Teresa Paiva Weed (D-Dist. 13, Newport, Middletown); Rep. J. Russell Jackson (D-Dist. 73, Middletown, Newport); Rep. Deborah Ruggiero (D-Dist. 74, Jamestown, Middletown) Rep. Peter F.

Dear Rico: Enclosed is a photo of a vase that has been in my family a long time. We have tried to use it for flowers, but they look too odd and it sits on a back shelf collecting dust. The mark on the bottom says AULT, with a hallmark and some numbers. Where was it made and is it worth anything? — Curious Dear Curious: This bizarre vase is worth something! It was designed by a famous Englishman: Dr. Christopher Dresser. We pictured a tile designed by him some months back. The 4 owls, the stars and waves are symbols used by Dresser in this exotic shaped vase. It is pottery and really should not be filled with water; the interior could be porous enough to harm the base. Much of Dresser’s pottery output was made by the Ault Factory in England. If perfect, a conservative value would be between $3,000 and $4,000. — Federico Santi, Partner, The Drawing Room Antiques (Free verbal appraisals are given every Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. no appointment necessary.)

Business Recycling Program The Clean City Program, in partnership with Waste Management, will be offering a commercial recycling program for small businesses in Newport. The program was created to help the city increase its current 23% recycling rate in order to reach the state mandated recycling goal of 35% by 2012 in accordance with state law. Although many business owners seek the advice of Newport’s Clean City Coordinator in hopes of finding ways to start recycling, until this collaborative solution was developed, no viable alternative to the Newport business community had previously existed. The program is aimed at small businesses that currently do not have a recycling plan and will not exceed the containers offered in the program. Interested businesses should contact the Clean City Program at 845-5642 or visit www.cityofnewport.com/commericalrecycling for more information.

Wheatland Blvd. The move will allow community members to more easily access programs from both organizations - MLKCC offers literacy and educational programs to children and teens, while LVEB provides one-to-one and small group tutoring to adults wishing to improve their basic literacy skills and conversational English.

EDITORIAL Binding our Legislators to a Public Debate No matter the merits of the proposal, the decision by state lawmakers last week to attempt to push through a bill extending binding arbitration to teachers unions in the waning 48 hours of the legislative session is disconcerting, to say the least. On Thursday, we wrote a story on our online news site, Newport Now.com, noting that two of our local state senators – Sen. Louis P. DiPalma (D-Newport, Middletown, Little Compton) and Sen. President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed (D–Newport, Jamestown) – had joined with a narrow majority of their colleagues in the upper chamber to pass the bill on to the House. Local city and school officials – who, along with their counterparts in 35 other municipalities, had publicly expressed their opposition to the bill – reacted in utter disbelief. So did we. How could the Senate – which had months to initiate an open debate on the issue – take up such an important piece of legislation only hours before the General Assembly adjourned for the summer? How could a bill–that would impact so many cities and towns–possibly be considered with so little in the way of public vetting? Sen. DiPalma provided some perspective during an interview over coffee earlier this week. The status quo, he said, simply isn’t working. Known for his analytical approach, DiPalma said that something has to be done to curb the costly mediation process that can arise when school committees and unions reach an impasse. The legislation – which had been amended to allay his own concerns – did just that, DiPalma said. The amendments did nothing, however, to quell the concerns of a bipartisan group of opponents that included Providence Mayor Angel Tavares, a Democrat, Republican Mayor Allan Fung of Cranston, and the non-partisan League of Cities and Towns. Whatever side you fall on, there should be little disagreement that the process left much to be desired. Pushing through a bill that carries such substantive and wide ranging effects on municipalities, in the waning days of the legislative session, is a disservice to our legislative process. Certainly, such a bill should require, at least, some form of open dialogue between state leaders and local school officials. As DiPalma noted, had the General Assembly buckled to local opposition to a proposal to cap the rate by which a community could raise property taxes, the measure, which is now in effect, would never have passed. But, he also noted, during that debate, legislators reached out to their communities, holding a series of public forums on the proposal and what it would mean for the average taxpayer. We believe the same standard should be followed when it comes to binding arbitration.

Municipal Meetings NEWPORT

Energy and Environment, July 7 at 6 p.m., Newport Public Library Rotary Room

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Memorable Fouth of July To the Editor: Thanks to everyone for a truly memorable Fourth of July. So often these holidays come and go without much more thought than “yay-a day off from work!” but this was truly an opportunity to immerse myself in the stories that made our present possible. If anyone wants a quick, fun read I recommend “The Wordy Shipmates” by Sarah Vowell. There’s lots of info about the founding of Rhode Island in it. It was great to meet other descendants. I wish I could have had the time to talk to more of them. Even though my ancestor was from Connecticut, and I grew up in New York, I feel a great kinship with Rhode Island just from two short visits to Newport. You guys have a very cool town! Can’t wait to see the final painting! Catherine Wolcott Descendant of Oliver Wolcott (Second to last signature on the Declaration)

Bill Bolsters Efforts to Crack Down on Cybercrimes By Tom Shevlin Eleven years after it was first introduced to the General Assembly, a bill that promises to give State Police more power in investigating cybercrimes against children has finally been signed into law. House Bill 5063, which grants the attorney general and the superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police administrative subpoena power to obtain non-content subscriber information from Internet service providers, had languished in various forms for years due to privacy concerns. Sponsored by Newport Rep. Peter Martin, the bill provides law enforcement officers with the ability to collect information including the name, address, IP address and telephone number of the Internet service subscriber relative to certain types of investigations, including the distribution or storage of child pornography, the exploitation of children, indecent solicitation of a

child or cyberstalking. For Martin (D-Newport), the bill is a proud achievement. “This is the most important thing I have done since being at the state house,” Martin said. (That, he said, includes a well publicized effort to pardon John Gordon, an Irish immigrant who was sentenced to death for a crime historians believe he did not commit.) First introduced in the year 2000, the cybercrimes bill had run into staunch opposition from privacy advocates who claimed the legislation represented an overreach by government and an end around the Fourth Amendment. Fearing an increase in unwarranted searches and surveillance, opponents, including the local chapter of the ACLU, had argued that the bill could open the door to any number of potential privacy violations. However, noting that the overwhelming majority of states already have similar laws on the books,

when he was elected three years ago, Martin took up the cause. Quietly, he began waging a deliberate, behind-the-scenes campaign in order to see the bill passed. After making it through the House earlier this spring, the bill was passed by the Senate on June 28 and signed into law by the governor on July 1. Martin said that he became convinced of the need for the bill during a trip to the home of the Rhode Island Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in Scituate. There, he said, he was able to see firsthand over the computer, an individual trading child pornography, right here in Newport in the Broadway neighborhood. A few weeks later, the individual was arrested, and his computer seized. It was filled with lewd and illegal images of children. “I’m proud,” Martin said on Tuesday. “A lot of work has gone into this bill – much more than people might recognize.”

Does Newport Need a Seasonal Event License? SeaFair prompts the question By Tom Shevlin Stepping onboard SeaFair from Perry Mill Wharf is like stepping into another world. Immediately, guests are transported from a humble fishing pier to a sleek, white, museumquality outpost filled with precious works of art, elegantly appointed gallery owners, and attendants serving champagne. At 228-feet, SeaFair is simply like no other yacht in the harbor. There are no ornate staterooms, private libraries, or onboard theaters; there are but a few windows on the main deck, and little to suggest that you’re even on a boat. The attraction here is the art. Paintings – some of which are priced at over $100,000 – hang on bright white gallery walls. Nearby, hand-crafted jewelry catches the eye. Few of the pieces carry actual price tags. Here, if you have to ask “How much?” then you probably can’t afford it. Since opening its doors last Thursday, this $40-million yacht has become the center of attention for many downtown merchants – representing either a boon to the city or an unwelcome competitor that threatens the livelihoods of

small business owners who don’t have the ability to pull anchor and sail away when the season fades. On Wednesday, July 13, the city will revisit an application by SeaFair’s organizers to operate as a special event. Under current city ordinances, an application for a special event may only be granted in two-week spans. SeaFair hopes to be here until Labor Day. David Lester is principal of Expoships LLLP, the owner of SeaFair and the organizer of Art Newport. He says that while attendance so far aboard the ship has been strong, it has been lighter than expected during the day. “We’re having hundreds of people coming to the boat between 7 and 9 p.m. and they can’t get on,” Lester said. As a result, he said he’s planning on asking the council for permission to remain open later – possibly until 9 or 10 p.m. The main dining room, he said, would be closed during the extended hours and used only for special events. But he will be asking that the more casual Sky Deck be allowed to stay open. The move is an adjustment that Lester said he believes is necessary as his company feels its way through the marketplace. Likewise, members of the City Council are also being prompted to

adjust their thinking as it relates to businesses such as SeaFair. Though the ship is a federally licensed interstate vessel which technically can operate outside the bounds of municipal regulations, the presence of SeaFair as a seasonal business along one of the city’s most trafficked thoroughfares has some wondering if perhaps the city needs to revisit its ordinances. More to the point, it may be that as things currently stand, the city simply doesn’t have the proper ordinance to deal with businesses such as SeaFair. But that could change in the future. In the interest of not disrupting what might turn out to be a positive multiplier for local businesses, Newport Mayor Stephen C. Waluk said on Tuesday that he would be open to exploring whether a new ordinance geared toward seasonal events is needed to regulate such ventures in the future. Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin expressed similar sentiments. “They came to the city asking for a tool,” he said, adding, “It may not be the right tool.” For his part, Lester said that if he were to come back to Newport next year, he likely wouldn’t need more than a special events license.

OPERA HOUSE CONT. FROM PG. 1 Pickens Theater, also on Washington Square, and the recently renovated 200-seat Casino Theatre, part of the historic Newport Casino, off Bellevue Avenue. NPAC’s vision includes renovating the Opera House as an 800seat facility, with high production values in lighting and sound. The stage might also include a thrust, a device that adds versatility, providing room for an orchestra pit, additional audience seating, or a stage extension. Fundraising for NPAC will proceed as the board determines what is needed to renovate the Opera House as a live performance venue. “We want it to host a variety of performances—jazz, small theatri-

cal productions, playwrights’ workshops, comedy, children’s productions, music performances of all kinds,” said Vareika. The group has already been in discussion with the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, with indications that Trinity Rep performances could take place in the Opera House during summer months. The NPAC board will also be developing an economic impact report on how a renovated, reopened Opera House would contribute to the local economy. The business model exists in many other communities across the country, where the re-emergence of live performance venues has contributed to downtown revivals; examples

include the Zeiterion in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and the Proctor’s Theater in Schenectady, New York. Vareika and Drayton will learn more about Proctor’s success when they attend the annual conference of the League of Historic American Theaters (LHAT) next week, which is being held at Proctor’s. LHAT is a group dedicated to restoring and sustaining significant theaters in the country. “We want to re-energize Washington Square year-round as Newport’s center, and the Opera House will be at the heart of it,” Drayton said. “People want to see live performances again. There’s nothing else quite like the energy that a live performance generates.”

Middletown Asks for Public Input LICENSE By Jill Connors A draft of the preferred scenario for redevelopment of the 14-acre stretch of West Main Road from Coddington Road to the former JFK Elementary School, in Middletown, has been posted to the town website, middletownri.com, and the public is invited to comment on the plan this week. Titled “West Main/ Coddington Development Center Master Plan,” the draft was prepared by urban planners Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, who have been studying this core area for nearly a year. Middletown’s Planning Board/ Planning Department is accepting public comments by mail or email through July 13, 2011. Emails may be directed to Ronald Wolanski, Middletown’s Director of Planning and Economic Development, at rwolanski@middletownri.com. Comments may also be sent to the Middletown Planning Department, 350 East Main Road, Middletown, RI 02842. The Planning Board will also be accepting public comments at their July meeting, scheduled for July 13th at 6:30 p.m., in Town Hall. The 14-acre core area includes

four key parcels on the west side of West Main Road: the former Navy Lodge (which the town is in the process of requesting as a public conveyance from the Navy); the town’s recreation complex; Middletown Public Library; and the former JFK Elementary School. The preferred scenario for this core area includes a mix of retail, office, and municipal spaces with pocket parks, a town common, and an internal parking and traffic layout. In describing the importance of this area, the draft report states: “The West Main/Coddington area is uniquely located at the ‘crossroads’ of two of the most significant transportation routes on Aquidneck Island. West Main Road and East Main Road have historically provided critical links between the Aquidneck Island communities of Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth…The Town of Middletown has long seen the potential for this area to become a focal point in its community, capitalizing on its centralized location and the existing connections to its surrounding communities. Prior planning studies have identified the potential for this area to become a ‘growth hub.’”

CONTINUED FROM PG. 7 “Were we to come back next summer, it would be for only a one or two-week stay,” he said. In the meantime, Lester expects that neighboring restaurants, hotels, and retail shops all stand to benefit from the season-long presence of his one-of-a-kind ship. In addition to employing 50 people, Lester has contracted with Blue Rocks Catering to provide all onboard food and beverages. In addition, all SeaFair vendors were required to obtain peddlers licenses from the state, while the city can expect to receive close to $2,000 in direct application fees. But all that pales next to what organizers say is the venue’s biggest draw – its ability to attract high-income art collectors from areas like New York and Boston who otherwise might not have visited the city. Those people, they say, will wind up spending money on hotels, meals, and other shopping excursions. Throw in the reputation Newport could gain as being an arts center such as Miami or New York, and you have a potentially immeasurable upside. As the adage goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. But not everyone shares that view. For some business owners, the prospect of having a six-story retail operation complete with bar and food service onboard hovering near the heart of downtown, is disconcerting. Objectors have argued that the exhibit represents nothing short of a seasonal business – reaping all the rewards of operating a summer retail business, while suffering none of the overhead of taxes, fees, or uncertainty of the off-season. Bart Dunbar, the owner of the Bowen’s Wharf Company, has been among the ship’s most vocal critics. He poses the question that if the city were to allow SeaFair to operate, then what’s stopping someone else from bringing in a similar type vessel to his dock at Bowen’s Wharf and setting up a retail outfit? Immediately, he said, by using a special event license, a landlord such as himself could ostensibly add 10,000-square feet or more of retail space without going through the planning or zoning process. Meanwhile, on land, if Dunbar wanted to add any square footage to his property, he would have to go through zoning to obtain a variance because of the lack of on-site parking. “There’s nothing wrong with competition,” Dunbar says. But due to the transient nature of SeaFair, he doubts that much of the money being spent onboard the vessel will stay in the local economy. “At $40 per couple to get onboard, it adds up,” he says, adding, “$40 gets people out on a harbor tour or dinner cruise. That money goes away, it doesn’t come back.” But SeaFair organizers contend that the venue represents a win-win for the city and local businesses. Lester said that he’s already received word from nearby businesses that the vessel is indeed bringing people to downtown. And, they’re coming with their appetites and wallets at the ready. For City Councilwoman JeanneMarie Napolitano, it will ultimately be those measurables that should have the final say. “I think it really depends on what the impact has been on the local community,” Napolitano said. “But this is a complete unknown to us. And unfortunately, at this point we have nothing to judge this by.”

Every Body is Different:

Staying Fit, Trim & Healthy After 40 By Mary Weaver Newport Cooks! Local food coach and cookbook author, Jeannette Bessinger of Portsmouth, seems to have cracked the code to staying fit and trim over 40. Why 40? Bessinger explains, “there are a cluster of issues that hit women in their 40s, and eventually, hitting menopause kicks it over the top.” Most women, even those who eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, find their body beginning to change around this time. Extra weight begins to migrate above the hips, and we find our waist disappearing and our middle thickening. She calls it the “modern eating sand trap.” Once you’re in it, it takes a concentrated effort to get out! For eight years, Bessinger has been teaching her popular Jump Start classes at the Newport Hospital. Jump Start is an intense sixweek program that meets 3-4 nights a week and gives people the tools they need to re-learn how to eat so they can lose weight and keep it off. Hundreds of people over the years have found lifelong weight loss success in the Jump Start program. These success stories, and her own weight gain after 40, became the inspiration for her new Re-Set program, aimed specifically at women over 40 who may (or may not) have led healthy lifestyles and want to lose and keep

Cooking Camp for Kids Good eating habits start when children are young and learning to cook is one of the leading factors in maintaining a healthy lifestyle into adulthood. Newport Cooks! is offering 100% handson Cooking Camps for children this summer. Everything will be made from scratch using organic, sustainable and healthy ingredients.

Chef’s Tips: n  To stem the portobellos, gently pinch and grip the stem firmly at the base with one hand, and slowly twist the cap with the other hand until the stem separates. To remove the gills, scoop them out with a teaspoon leaving hollowed out shells. n  The freshest eggs have very firm whites and yolks, so tend to retain their shape better when cooking –yet another reason to buy right from the source! n  Make a batch of Sundried Tomato Pesto. It’s great on grilled chicken or fish. It keeps for a week in the refrigerator.

but yolks are still soft. With a slotted spoon, remove eggs and set aside to drain. To assemble: Place broiled Portobello cap on the bottom. Arrange avocado slices evenly, top with cooked greens, tomato slice, poached egg, a dollop of pesto and sprinkle fresh basil ribbons over the top. Serve immediately.

This is a recipe that Bessinger has adapted from an old favorite:

Jeannette Bessinger, the Clean Food Coach. off the creeping mid-body fat that just won’t seem to go away. “What we aim to reset,” she says, “is our fat metabolism” which has gone on autopilot and is no longer responding to the same eating and exercise habits that may have kept us lean and fit into our 40s. The Re-Set program hones in on food sensitivities and sugar/insulin balance to come up with an individualized weightloss plan. Bessinger’s Re-Set program has proven successful not only for herself (she claims her own body is her best experiment subject), but for many women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. She says for some people it means cutting out foods that they used to be able to eat but that their body can no longer digest well, for others it’s relearning how to cook and grocery shop to incorporate new fat burning foods into their old favorite recipes. She said it’s not about deprivation, but all about satiation – feeling good about and enjoying the foods you eat.

High heat cooking oil spray 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stemmed with gills removed* 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 8-ounce bag baby spinach 1 8-ounce bag baby arugula Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste 4 very fresh, extra large eggs ½ large, ripe Hass avocado, sliced thinly 1 large heirloom tomato, cut into 4 thick slices 4 teaspoons prepared high quality sundried tomato pesto (Recipe below.) 6 fresh basil leaves cut into thin ribbons Preheat broiler. Lightly spray broiler pan with high heat cooking oil. Place portobellos, top-down, on pan. Broil 7-8 minutes or until tender. Be careful not to scorch. Heat olive oil on medium in large sauté pan or wok. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute. Add spinach and arugula. Cover for 1 minute to wilt slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to sauté for 2 minutes until greens are tender. Fill medium sauté pan half-full of water and bring to a simmer (not a full boil). Break eggs one at a time into a small bowl and slide gently into the simmering water. Sliding them against the edge of the pan helps keep their shape. Simmer eggs about 4 minutes or until whites are cooked through,

Sundried Tomato Pesto 1/2 cup julienned sundried tomatoes in oil, drained 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra if needed 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 clove crushed garlic 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts ¼ cup basil leaves ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper In the food processor, pulse together tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, pine nuts, basil, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth. If necessary, drizzle olive oil one teaspoon at a time if mixture is too dry.

TO GO:

“The Many Faces of George Washington� will be at the Colony House on Washington Square through the end of July. It may be viewed as part of the Colony House/Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House Tour, run by the Newport Historical Society from the Museum & Shop at Brick Market, 127 Thames St. Tours are offered Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 11:30 a.m. Tickets ($12) are available at the Museum & Shop. Reservations are recommended; call 841-8770.

The historic Colony House on Washington Square, which was visited often by George Washington during and after the Revolutionary War, is hosting a traveling exhibit that combines life-size photos with text about the first President’s life and times. “The Many Faces of George Washington� explores Washington’s many roles – as general, statesman, farmer, entrepreneur, and President. The different facets of his life are illustrated with photos of prints, journal pages, historic paintings, and documents. The exhibit, which is made up of series of folding panels, was produced by the Mount Vernon historic site in conjunction with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Among the facts about Washington’s life that are explored in the exhibit: His parents, Augustine and Mary Washington, had six children, of whom George was the eldest. He also had two older half-brothers from his father’s first marriage. George’s father Augustine died when George was 11 years old, leaving no provision for him to go to college. Instead, he studied independently, became an expert horseman, and eventually became a land surveyor, helping to survey the Virginia frontier. He became the county surveyor of Culpeper County, which enabled him to purchase land of his own. Washington inherited the Mount Vernon estate from his halfbrother Lawrence after he died from tuberculosis. In 1753, Washington volunteered to travel on a daring mission into the Ohio Valley to tell the French to leave British land there. The journal that he kept during the trip was published, making him famous. Before the Revolutionary War, Washington was busy turning Mount Vernon into a wheat-producing plantation. In 1787, the Congress of the new United States called a convention of state delegates to Philadelphia, where Washington was the unanimous choice to preside over the convention. Two years later, he was sworn in as the new nation’s first President. Washington served two terms as President before surprising the world by voluntarily stepping down. In 1799, Washington died unexpectedly, at age 67, of a throat infection.

THE ARTS Art Events Coming Up at Norman Bird Sanctuary

“Imagine All The People�

John Lennon’s Artwork

“Power to the People�

“Imagine Peace,� artwork of the late John Lennon, will be exhibited at 33 America’s Cup Ave., the former site of the GAP Store, on Friday, July 15 from noon – 9 p.m., Saturday, July 16 from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 17 from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Money raised from the exhibit will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County. Lennon’s style was comprised of quick sketches, free-hand drawings, caricatures and illustrations that continue to illuminate the former Beatle’s keen sense of observation, wit and profound irony.

Watercolor Workshops at Watson Farm Artists are invited to join Natalie Pfanstiehl in watercolor painting workshops at the historic Watson Farm in Jamestown on Saturdays, July 16, August 6 and September 10 from 9:30 to 3 pm. The farm offers panoramic vistas of the pastoral agricultural landscape that artists have enjoyed painting for over 100 years. The all-day workshops offer painters the opportunity to experience and capture the many facets of the farm buildings, stone walls and gardens through the medium of watercolor. Natalie Pfanstiehl, who has taught at the Newport Art Museum for over 20 years, leads the workshop. Her work has been shown in national, regional and local juried shows and received numerous awards. She will give a one-hour demonstration of landscape painting and spend the rest of the day assisting students with composition and painting techniques. Students should bring their own painting materials and a bag lunch. All levels of experience are welcome. The cost is $25 for Historic New England members or $35 for non-members. Preregistration is requested. To register and/or request more information about the workshops, contact Heather Minto at 423-0005 or e-mail watsonfarm1796@yahoo.com.

The land that is now the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Middletown was an inspiration for many early 19th and 20th century artists, who set many of their paintings in Paradise Valley. The Norman Bird Sanctuary (NBS) continues to have a strong connection to the arts and plans an expansion of art education and opportunities for local artists. Please join NBS, this summer, in their celebration of the arts with these events: Sunset Rhythms on the Beach – Thursday, July 14, 7-8:30 p.m. This program, taking place on Third Beach, will include an interpretive walk along the shore followed by a campfire, songs, drumming, and marshmallow roasting. The entire family is welcome. Feel free to bring along your own instruments. $8 members/$10 non-members, children under 3 are free. Pre-registration required. Later in the month, beginning on Saturday, July 23 a four-part Introduction to Nature Photography class will be offered. You must be at least 12 years old, have your own digital camera, know how to change the settings, or have a manual to refer to. Pre-registration required. On August 23 there will be a celebration of summertime in nature with music, dance, and more! Wrapping up the summer, will be an art show on September 9-11.

Rhode Island Comic Throwdown Takes the Stage By Meg O’Neil Get ready for seven weeks of laugh-a-minute standup comedy, as the Second Annual Rhode Island Comic Throwdown kicks off on Thursday, July 7 at Jimmy’s Saloon on Memorial Blvd. Featuring 60 area comedians, the competition is divided into three categories: professionals, amateurs, and novices. Each week, the comedians will perform their sets, battling to be judged the ultimate standup comedian, winning the $700 grand prize. As the eliminations continue, sets will go from 3 minutes to 12 minutes. This year’s throwdown is hosted by last year’s winner, Brian Beaudoin, and will be held at three locations: Jimmy’s Saloon, Billy Goode’s Tavern, and Newport Blues CafÊ. Produced by STAGERight Productions and sponsored by Newport This Week and Newport-Now.com, the contest will feature a panel of judges who will critique each comedian’s performance. Last year, guest judges included Richard Hatch from Survivor and The Apprentice, as well as Louie Stravato and Michael Naylor, two Providence police officers who competed on the reality TV show, The Amazing Race. This year, the guest judges for the first week of the competition are comedians Frank O’Donnell and Dave DiLorenzo, as well as Suzanna Dell, artistic director of Newport’s Casino Theatre. In succeeding weeks, other celebrity judges will also appear.

Save The Bay is looking for volunteers to help with restoration of Gooseneck Cove at their next planned dig on July 11. The Gooseneck Cove was restored in 2009 by installing additional culverts under Ocean Drive, removing a failing dam, and increasing flow under Hazard Road. Portions of the marsh still need significant work. Water is not draining off the marsh and is impeding regrowth of native marsh plants. Hardy folk who are willing to get mucky will help dig small creeks in the marsh. Volunteers need to wear knee boots or shoes that can get very muddy. Shovels will be provided, but remember to bring sun protection and something to drink. The ability to find food, shelter, and fresh water is essential to the survival of all creatures on earth. Habitats that support multiple levels of species are particularly critical and fragile. Gooseneck Cove is a vital salt marsh system that supports many varied aquatic, bird, mammal, and amphibian species throughout the year. If you can spare even a couple of hours to assist nature in restoring this marsh that has suffered decades of abuse and neglect, contact Save The Bay’s Volunteer Coordinator, Stephany Hessler, at 401-272-3540, ext. 130 or email shessler@savebay.org. If you have an interest in biology, wildlife, or any science regimen, Save the Bay hopes you will volunteer. Additional “dig days” will be arranged every other week during the summer, to coincide with low tide.

As the soccer world turns its attention toward Germany for the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the field overlooking Sail Newport at Fort Adams played host to its own international competition over the weekend. Waving their respective colors, bragging rights were clearly on the line as two teams comprised of seasonal workers from Ireland and Brazil converged for a lively match of football (the European kind) on Sunday. Organized by local contractor Gerry Campbell, the game kicked off promptly at 3 p.m., complete with trophies, a pair of professional referees, and fans rooting for both sides. It was the third year that Campbell has hosted the event, which he says started after he approached a contingent of Irish fans at Cardine’s

Field during a Newport Gulls game about organizing a soccer match against some of the city’s local Brazilian population. Campbell, who owns a painting company, employs both Irish and Brazilian crew during the summer. Almost immediately, a rivalry was born. This year, with the series tied 1-1, Brazil built upon an early lead to take the as-yet-named silver cup. An award was also given out to the best player (as determined by a slate of kid judges), as well as a trophy to the losing Irish team, which was comprised primarily of rugby and football (the American kind) players. First Ward Councilor Charles Y. Duncan was on hand to present the trophies. After all was said and done, the two teams retired back to Campbell’s house for a sportsmanlike barbecue.

Newport County Fund Announces Small Grant Award Recipients The Newport County Fund (NCF) announced that $110,144 in small grants will be awarded to 16 local non-profit organizations. The grants will help develop, strengthen and expand new and existing community programs that are addressing issues of importance to local residents. NCF was established as a permanent endowment of The Rhode Island Foundation in 2002 to benefit the communities of Newport County – Jamestown, Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, Portsmouth, and Tiverton. Guided by a volunteer advisory committee of Newport County residents, the NCF is the first Foundation-established fund with a geographic focus.

All students will participate in multiple, progressive programs that connect directly to the science curriculum in their classrooms.

Tides Family Services -$4,000 (Newport County) With grant funds, Tides Family Services will purchase computers for their program of non-residential services to high-risk youth in Rhode Island. Tides Family Services recently opened a store front in Middletown to provide “virtual learning” (computer-based) curricula in language arts, math and science--with intensive, one-on-one tutorial support. Nature Conservancy - $10,000 (Little Compton) Grant support will assist in funding a part-time volunteer coordinator. East Bay Community Action Program - $7,070 (Newport County) With grant funds, EBCAP will purchase supplies for the Newport County Community Based Oral Health Programs for care ranging from pediatric preventative oral health dentistry services to geriatric dental care provided in nursing homes.

More Music Between August Festivals with BridgeFest The Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County is presenting its third annual BridgeFest August 1-4. BridgeFest was created to showcase local musicians and venues and “bridges the gap” between the world-famous Newport Folk and Jazz festivals. BridgeFest will feature established and emerging artists hosted by some of the finest restaurants and music venues throughout Newport County. Along with an exciting evening music scene, children’s musical activities; and free lectures and workshops will be offered throughout the week. As special highlights, BridgeFest will host, in residence, David Amram, the legendary American composer, musician, conductor and writer. The week will kickoff with a welcome cocktail reception for Amram, Aug. 1, and conclude with the preview of the documentary “David Amram: The First 80 years” at the Jane Pickens Theater on Aug. 4. Another highlight will feature a discussion with impresario George Wein, founder of the Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals. Wein will be joined by Anant Cohen who has established herself as one of the primary voices of her generation on both the tenor saxophone and clarinet. Watch for a complete listing of official BridgeFest venues and artists on the following sites: www.Newportbridgefest.com
