NEWPORT –Details of the city’s upcoming America’s Cup visit began to come take shape last week. On Friday, members of the state’s America’s Cup 2013/14 Planning Committee met to discuss plans for the event, which is slated for July 1 and is being coordinated by Sail Newport. Plans call for a welcome celebration at Fort Adams to be held from 11:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Documents on file with the city estimate that organizers are expecting up to 6,000 people to filter through to get a look at the Cup over the course of the day. The event will include a Cup Victory Luncheon at Fort Adams to benefit Sail Newport. Tickets for the luncheon are available to the public for $50 each or $1,000 for a sponsored table of 10 and will be available for purchase newport at www. sailnewport. org beginning Thursday. Also on tap: a presentation to junior sailors by team members from BMW/ Oracle Racing, details of which are expected to be released in the coming weeks. “This is a unique opportunity for sailing enthusiasts, families, children Photos by Michelle Palazzo and visitors from all over New England to come out and see the Cup and enjoy a day of festivities in Newport,” RIEDC Executive Director Keith Stokes said in a statement Monday. Governor Carcieri called the visit “an opportunity for tens of thousands of sporting fans to enjoy the rich tradition and heritage of the trophy associated with the oldest continuous sporting competition.” It is still unclear if Oracle chief executive officer Larry Ellison or Russell to be zero.

Master Plan, community input eyed in costly sewer fix

FARM FRESH

By Tom Shevlin

MIDDLETOWN – The Aquidneck Island Grower’s Market returned last week to Newport Vineyards, where vendors braved an early morning thunderstorm for the first farmer’s market of the season. Running Saturdays from June until October, the weekly outdoor market has become an island ritual for foodies and families looking for straightfrom-the-farm fresh ingredients for the week. On Wednesday the market makes its return to Memorial Boulevard, just across from the International Tennis Hall of Fame for the companion Aquidneck Growers’ Wednesday Market from 2 - 6 p.m.

NEWPORT – Hoping to ease the burden on ratepayers, the city is currently in negotiations to extend a deadline to complete mandated sewer repairs until 2018. Under a draft order issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last year, the city would have to complete work to stem combined sewer overflow events by 2015. But, according to consultants from CH2M Hill, until a final order is completed, there is room for negotiations. Pushing out the project deadline would help defer costs to residents by spreading the project out over a longer period of time. That was just one of the points that came to light during a special council workshop on Wednesday with the city’s Utility Department and engineers. In addition to seeking out more time to complete the mandate repairs, the city is also contesting a designation by the EPA to treat Newport as separate system, which would hold the city to a much higher standard in terms of water quality and CSO events. That designation, according to the city, is misleading. According to engineers from CH2M Hill, despite recent improvements to segregate stormwater from sewer lines, the system acts like a combined system, suggesting that there are still some connections or deficiencies unknown to planners contributing to the city’s CSO problem. Currently, Newport can expect roughly 30 CSO discharges during an average year. EPA wants that number

Legislators tour Newport Community School NEWPORT – Rhode Island Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed (DNewport) and Rep. Peter F. Martin (DNewport) joined program educators, parents and children, and RI Afterschool Plus Alliance (RIASPA) staff on Monday to observe and participate in afterschool activities, ask questions, and share ideas at the Newport Community School. The visit was the fifth in a series, planned by RIASPA, to connect elected officials and program providers around the state; thereby establishing greater understanding of the need for high-quality, afterschool programs and bolstering support from decisionmakers. RIASPA is a leading, public policy advocate for the professional field of afterschool education, bridging policy and practice while serving as a liaison between schools, community organizations, funding sources, business leaders, government agencies and elected officials. According to RIASPA, research shows that high-quality, afterschool programs, such as those offered by

Upstart Salve places 12th in sailing nationals Newport Now Staff Report Salve Regina’s upstart sailing squad placed 12th, and a Middletown resident was on the water for the winning team in in 2010 ICSA/Gill National Championships at Lake Mendota from June 1-3. A total of 18 schools competed in the event, which marks the apex of the collegiate sailing circuit. Its coveted title has been won by 19 schools over the last 42 years: USC, San Diego State, Tulane, Harvard, Yale, Tufts, URI, UCLA, Kings Point, BU, Charleston, UC Irvine, ODU, Navy, Dartmouth, St. Mary’s, Hawaii, Hobart & William Smith and Georgetown. But this year, first-time winner of the title – Boston College – joins that fraternity having taken and held the lead position through the first two days of the championship. The title also earns BC another rarer entry in the InterCollegiate Sailing Association’s history books: as the sixth school to win all three spring championships (ICSA Women’s Nationals, ICSA/APS Team Race Nationals, and the ICSA/Gill National Championship) along with Navy, ODU, Tufts, St. Mary’s and Harvard. “The conditions made it a tiny bit anticlimactic, but it feels good,” said Greg Wilkinson, Boston College Head Coach, about the title win. “We arrived at the lake this morning and, as it has been for the last week, it was glass. We talked as a team and reminded each other that we would be sailing . . . we tried to convince ourselves that we would be sailing. I’m proud to be

in that group of schools that have won all three championships. My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing with calls from Boston College staff. BC is proud of the sailing team and it’s unfortunate that school is not in session now so that we can celebrate. We’ll probably do something on campus in the fall to celebrate.” On the water for Boston College in A-Division was junior skipper Tyler Sinks (San Diego, Calif.) who sailed with crew Lucy Wallace (Middletown, R.I.) and Briana Provancha (San Diego, Calif.), both juniors, and freshman Laura McKenna (Palo Alto, Calif.). In B-Division junior skipper Taylor Canfield (St. Thomas, USVI) sailed all nine races with senior crew Sandra Williams (Chicago,

Ill.) to win that division. BC’s final score of 127 points reflects 88 points from ADivision plus 39 from B-Division. No doubt the wait onshore was painful for the teams in second through fifth place coming into the final day. With only a 16-point spread between first and fifth place, had even one race been sailed the outcome could have been vastly different. “All were very close and everyone wanted to sail,” said Mitch Brindley, President of ICSA. “In one race they could have made some significant steps. And that was very frustrating.” Salve, which was competing in its first ICSA championship, placed one spot ahead of East Bay program, Roger Williams University.

OPINION Editorial

In Different Forms, Democracy in Action

It’s a busy time to be in politics. From the general assembly to local council chambers, elected officials across the state are working feverishly to wrap up the current fiscal year. In the case of our state senators and representatives, that means marathon sessions lasting well past midnight, where in the dark of night, legislation is passed, it seems, in bulk and oftentimes in haste. Elsewhere, things are more provincial. In Jamestown, close to 700 people filled the Lawn Avenue School on Monday for the town’s annual Financial Town Meeting. Mostly reserved for rural areas, FTMs represent one of our purest forms of democracy, where individual residents – if they follow the right procedures – can directly impact the town’s tax rate and spending priorities. Only a few years ago, the idea of an FTM seemed antiquated; nobody showed up, some argued; it was just a rubber stamp to a budget the town council had already settled upon. But, thanks to a couple of hot-button issues, this year’s was the most well attended FTM in recent memory and debate lasted well into the night – driven not by the council or the town administrator, but rather by the people. When it was all done, small groups of voters huddled around in the warm night air to discuss what just happened. The debate continued. Newport, of course is a different animal. Our budget season begins and ends with the City Council. But, with the city’s budget process coming to a close this month, it’s hard not to notice something missing. Earlier in the evening on Monday, city councilors, staff and department heads assembled for what was supposed to be one last workshop on the proposed FY2011 budget. Only two members of the public showed up. What was missing; what is missing, is the public debate. The above photos depict the scene from the Jamestown FTM on Monday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Low Tax Rate Doesn’t Mean Affordability

Let’s Tour the Fort

Dear Editor,

While NDN didn’t consider it important enough to report, your May 26 article on Newport’s property tax rate didn’t cover the whole story. The “perspective on the city’s tax rate” article overlooked some fundamental input. Newport tax revenues are almost 50% supported by highly taxed property owners who are non resident, non voting, low service requiring (8-9 months of the year no school budget demands, limited winter services, garbage etc.). After the most recent Vision Appraisal report, many valuations stayed the same or were reduced while valuations for non residents skyrocketed, in some cases more than doubling. These are important factors in understanding why Newport’s RE taxes are lower than most in RI. The perspective from your article may lead to the belief that Newport can afford to tax more and spend more. That would be unfortunate because the consequences will fall on those who have no say in the matter. Newport’s future will depend on spending and taxing that considers more than short term consequences. Newport This Week can be the leader by voicing it opinions on its Opinion page where it can be debated.

I have read and enjoyed Ms.Rafael’s two articles on Newport historic sites. Living in Newport we sometimes take these wonderful places for granted and unfortunately many residents have never been inside the Redwood Library of the Touro Synagogue. I am a former employee of the Redwood Library and now as a retiree I am volunteering at the Form Adams Trust. With a very small paid staff they have managed to make great progress in the restoration of this architectural gem. I hope that perhaps you might do an article on the Trust and the Fort in a future publication.

RI name change: Getting the facts straight

PROGRAMS FOR AGES 3-18 By Brian Stinson This November, the official ballot will ask voters whether they are willing to change Rhode Island’s formal name from “State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations” to simply “Rhode Island.” Supporters of the name change believe that the word “plantations” is offensive to the African-American community because the word conjures up images of slavery. Representative Joseph S. Almeida (D-District 12, Providence) and Senator Harold M. Metts (D-District 6, Providence), sponsors of the original legislation to drop the second part of the state’s official name, have said in a statement that they “understand that there are probably a lot of people who are unaware of Rhode Island’s history... But ... hope to raise their awareness and gain support for removing ‘and Providence Plantations’ from the state’s name.” Mr. Almeida stated, “This legislation is about recognizing and raising awareness about the state’s past, and choosing not to leave a word in the state’s name that brings to mind parts of its history that we regret.” Mr. Metts added, “Rhode Island has ignored its history for so long, now we can really begin the healing process.” Mr. Almeida wants people to understand and Mr. Metts claims our history has been ignored. Oddly, any positive accomplishments of Rhode Island’s black history are mysteriously never presented, including the fact that Rhode Island enacted the first act prohibiting the importation of slaves in America, doing so 236 years ago on June 13, 1774 in Newport. Rhode Island’s black heritage is something to be proud of, but let the facts tell the story. In the realm of seafaring activities, Newport, Rhode Island was a heavyweight. One of the colonial capitols, Newport was the fifth largest city in colonial America prior to the War for Independence. In a period of time when transportation of goods over land was non-existent, the sea-lanes of commerce played a vital role and Newport was a major player along with Boston, Charleston, New York and Philadelphia. As a commercial center of importance, legend has it that Newport could have been the size of New York City today when you consider the level of commerce then and the comparable size of Aquidneck and Manhattan islands.

Newport’s importance came to an end when the British occupied the city with military forces. They ruined Newport economically and physically. Had this not taken place, Newport might truly be a different place today. Newport, with its harbor and deep natural bay, was a safe port of call where vast fortunes were made because of the sea. Due to the surrounding terrain, its small size and limited raw materials, Newport and Rhode Island needed to be involved

Rhode Island enacted the ﬁrst act prohibiting the importation of slaves in America, doing so 236 years ago on June 13, 1774 in Newport. heavily in the import/export trade in order to sustain an economy. Newport was a leader in the discovery and manufacture of spermaceti candles, which provided a revolutionary new form of lighting, coastal commerce and involvement in the “triangular trade,” which included Africa, England, North America and the West Indies. There were many factors in this complicated trade of raw materials, manufactured goods and eventually human cargo. Various materials and goods involved were textiles, ﬁsh, grain, meat, molasses, rice, timber and tobacco. Newport was not, as many claim, the only point on the triangle in the North American colonies. This colony exported horses, lumber, spermaceti oil and candles, furniture by Goddard – Townsend group, etc. by coastal vessels from Newfoundland to Georgia and the West Indies. Proponents of the name change claim “slave-based economies existed...” and “Rhode Island was the largest importer of African slaves; these human beings were stored in Bristol and Newport to be sent off to ‘plantations’ all across the country.” However, most slave voyages were directly to the West Indies. South

Carolina and Virginia were the largest importers of slaves, not Rhode Island. With the importing of the raw ingredient molasses, Newport became well known for its production and distribution of rum. Rum offered a stabilizing effect to our economy, with upwards of 30 distilleries in operation. The rum was sold here, in other colonies, Africa, the West Indies - wherever anyone would buy it. The success of this trade hence led to the transport of slaves. During the 1700s, Newport prospered from three colonial wars that continued the noble tradition of privateering. Just as proﬁtable and dangerous as slave trading, even though the lines became blurred at times as one might participate in piracy instead. Newport was at her zenith, but the slave trade irritated the Quakers, a political power in this colony that shared their beliefs with other religious denominations, that slavery was inhumane. As such, the ﬁrst act prohibiting the importation of slaves in the original 13 British North American Colonies was enacted. In June 1774, the General Assembly, sitting at Newport, passed an act prohibiting the importation of Negroes. It reads in part: “Whereas the Inhabitants of America are generally engaged in the Preservation of their own Rights and Liberties, among which that of personal Freedom must be considered as the greatest; as those who are desirous of enjoying all of the Advantages of Liberty themselves, should be willing to extend personal Liberty to others: Therefore be it Enacted, by this General Assembly, and by the Authority thereof, It is Enacted That for the future, no Negro or Mulatto Slave shall be brought into this colony: And in Case any Slave shall hereafter be brought in, he or she shall be and are hereby rendered immediately free, so far as respects personal Freedom, and the Enjoyment of private Property, in the same Manner as the native Indians. Provided, nevertheless, That this Law shall not extend to Servants of Persons traveling through this Colony, who are not Inhabitants thereof, and who carry them out with them when they leave the same.” Both Mr. Almedia and Mr. Metts say they want to raise awareness, but their interpretations are short on historical facts.

MAINSHEET Friends Fete Ballard Park’s 20th Anniversary “We can’t solve problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them. “ — Albert Einstein By Virginia Treherne-Thomas Quotes express truths clearly, in ways that we may be thinking, but don’t know how to put into words. They provoke thoughts that amuse, inspire, and make one look at life and death, love and happiness, perhaps creating an opportunity to reﬂect on all of this, and the material world, from a more visionary and enlightened perspective. In 1990, Carol Ballard had a vision for turning 13 acres of land from what was a dumping ground and an area for under-age drinking, into what has now become Newport’s only nature preserve and a much used recreational site for culture and exploration. The Friends of Ballard Park was formed in 1996 to protect and preserve these acres and along with the City of Newport they keep the trails maintained and clean, creating a green space for peaceful contemplation of nature. Last Saturday night over a hun-

dred people turned up at Holly House, the Ballard residence, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of Ballard Park. Gosh... even the Mayor arrived with a proclamation that June 5th was to be celebrated from now on as Les and Carol Ballard Day. Wine ﬂowed from the cellar below, jazz played, food was sumptuous, and the silent auction seemed to be a booming success with a Chris Wylie landscape selling for way over value. All in all it was a great party, one that had a lot of oomph, maybe because it’s one of the ﬁrst parties of the season or maybe because it’s a great cause and these acres sit in a lot of people’s backyards. Call The Friends of Ballard Park for info on upcoming events and ways to help at 619-3377. A third anniversary took place in Portsmouth, also on Saturday at The Green Grocer. If you have not shopped here, it’s must. They are a great group of people committed to becoming a trusted retailer of organic and local farm fresh products, meats, dairy and bulk items. They

provide excellent service, carry your bags to the car and because it’s almost as large as a small Whole Foods, it’s like shopping in a supermarket, with a personal touch and supermarket prices. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons they serve delicious Indian food which can be delivered on Tuesdays to Newport. Put your order in on Monday by calling 6930007. Support this great group of folks so dedicated to sustaining the health of our farms, our community and our environment. Speaking of support... Thursday, June 10, which is tomorrow( if you have picked up this paper on Wednesday) is a “Too Marvelous For Words” two for one deal cocktail party to see what Peter de Savery is up to at Vanderbilt Hall and to support Child and Family Services. Don’t miss lots of good food and a peek at the restoration of this turn of the century mansion into a private member’s club. Call Sharon Lavallee at 848-4123. Summer is here, the Farmer’s markets are open, we have a lot to celebrate, and Newport has much to offer.

Inherited, Bequeathed, Unaltered and Preserved By Anita Rafael It’s not the sort of residence that makes you think, “Ah, home sweet home.” Stuffy? Over-furnished? Way too formal? Perhaps. But at the same time, the decor is indisputably regal, erudite and above all, put together with impeccable taste and an eye for sophisticated detail. Here is the genius of the tour at Rough Point: Once everything is explained to you by the site’s carefully vetted and wonderfully articulate tour guides, Duke’s opulent lifestyle makes sense. Visitors are flagged through the north entrance of the 10-acre estate by an ever-courteous gatekeeper who points drivers in the direction of the shaded parking area. It’s a short walk up the drive to the entrance of the house. If the pair of large black doors is not already open, it’s fine to enter the vestibule (there is no outdoor ticket booth). Once inside, guests stash their jackets and backpacks in the adjacent coatroom, and pay their admission to the receptionist. The guided tour typically begins in the tapestry-draped hall that is at the foot of the mansion’s grand staircase. Here, the tour guides recap the chronology of the title holders: designed for Frederick W. Vanderbilt by Peabody & Stearns; sold to William Bateman Leeds in 1906; sold to James Buchanan Duke in 1922; and, three years later, inherited by his then 12-year old daughter, Doris Duke. She willed it to the Newport Restoration Foundation, a private, non-profit preservation organization that she created. More than anything else, the narrative of the tour at Rough Point is about the lives and contrasting social roles of two rich and commanding women: Nanaline Holt Inman Duke, a product of the Gilded Age, and her only daughter, Doris, a thoroughly 20th century phenomenon. Take some time to study the fulllength portraits of each of them in the stair hall; for in both paintings lies the truth about whom these women really were. The tour continues into the adja-

PRIOR EDITIONS OF TOUR OF THE WEEK AT: www.TourOfTheWeek.wordpress.com cent dining room and a small paneled sitting room. Here, the guides continue to compare and contrast the lives of Doris and her mother by inventorying their personal acquisitions and by describing how each of them used these rooms differently. Once in the great hall, the tour guides begin to elaborate on the extensive collections of fine art and artifacts, all of it from Europe, England and the Far East. At first, the casual tourist is likely to wonder what in heaven’s name these individuals were thinking while filling their Newport “summer cottage” with better than museum quality furniture, carpets, tapestries, paintings and artifacts. Seriously, why would people pay tens of thousands, even millions of dollars to acquire these kinds of courtly and rare possessions just to adorn a vacation residence? The elder Dukes did it because their society said they should,

and the mega-wealthy Doris did it, conceivably, because she could. The tour continues into a formal sitting room, next into the ballroom (arguably one of the most reﬁned rooms in any mansion in America), and then into a conservatory with the most spectacular views of the grounds, the Cliff Walk and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The tour guides do a quick show and tell of the photo albums of Duke’s pet camels, named Princess and Baby, and the anecdotes about the pair begging at the door for graham crackers are amusing. (All of which explain the giant topiary camels on the north lawn, by the way.) Finally, the tour returns to the stair hall, and guests are led up the grand staircase to see only two rooms: a cozy den where Doris listened to music and the master suite. Visitors lean over the roped-off threshold to see the bedroom just as Doris herself last saw it. (She died in California in 1993.) A bit shocking, it is bright purple, smack yellow and generously knickknacked, yet, there is a lovely painting by Renoir on one wall. The guided tour ends here, and guests are escorted into two large galleries through a set of modern

doors. Whether it’s a display of her fabulous jewels, her haute couture clothing, her cherished possessions, or a show about her interests and passions, the installations are always fascinating and expertly presented. Visitors then wind their way down a servant’s staircase to the first floor. Along the narrow whitetiled hall, take look into the butler’s pantry and then into the kitchen before exiting the house through a delivery door. That last moment in the house is an abrupt, unceremonious end to what has been an otherwise dazzling hour, but to recapture the sensation of splendor and riches, go immediately around to the ocean side of the building and look back at Doris Duke’s house. All of the biographies of the “too rich” tobacco heiress fall into the category called “unauthorized.” They are all juicy, strange and equally wobbly in verisimilitude. But, now having seen one of her five homes inside and out, do you suppose you know more about her and her era than you could have known by reading any book? While you ponder the waves pounding on the rocks below, ponder that.

2nd Place Winner! Schweppes 2009 National Clam Chowder Contest

Close your eyes and pretend you’re in the tropics. Open them and enjoy that colorful ambience right in Newport at the Salvation Café. Located on Broadway in “restaurant row,” this funky eatery, known for its eclectic décor and creative menu, has been called “the hippest restaurant and bar in Rhode Island.” We wandered into Salvation on a Friday evening and were promptly seated in the Pagoda Room, which overlooks the outdoor Tiki Bar . After a long day it was delightful to sip a refreshing coconut Mojito, made with coconut rum, lime, mint leaves, and served with a miniscule baby coconut ﬂoating on top. We knew it had to be great because Dan Hwang was behind the bar that evening greeting customers and serving up selections that included white, red, rose and sparkling wines, beer by bottle or draft or microbrew, and an assortment of specialty cocktails.

$1 Oysters at the Raw Bar with beverage purchase. Cannot be combined with any other offer or discount.

You Are What You Eat ...

Shrimp Pad Thai, Salvation Cafe’s signature entree. Dan had his own bit of news also: he’s going to appear as a member of ”the new class” starting this Wednesday on the reality show, Ghost Hunters, which is on the Syfy channel, 32 locally. Tune in to see if Dan ﬁnds a ”Salvation ghost” on the show. Salvation’s outdoor Tiki Bar, which reopened recently, was bustling that evening. Its sparkling lights, hanging plants, and overhead tree limbs create an inviting atmosphere. My dining companion and I sipped our drinks while perusing the menu. Our server Lisa, who was excellent and helpful, came by to tell us about the evening specials, which change daily and reﬂect the best in fresh local ingredients to suit both carnivores and vegetarians. The latter selection that night was a dish featuring blue corn meal and goat cheese. (Salvation is one of the best places in the area for vegetarian fare incidentally.)

My dining companion chose from the specials: a rubbed rib eye served over a mixture of sautéed spring veggies including asparagus, mushrooms, corn, and sweet potatoes. It was topped with a kicky, bright green, garden-fresh chimichurri sauce that was a perfect complement to the beef. I opted for one of Salvation’s signature dishes, the Pad Thai, a delightful mix of just-right-spicy noodles, which comes with either shrimp, chicken, or tofu. My shrimp combo had just the right amount of heat and a topping of crunchy chopped nuts. Lisa also brought a side of Salvation’s crispy spinach, which you have to taste to believe ”fresh spinach leaves ﬂash-fried to a paper-thin delicacy” you just can’t stop nibbling these melt-in-yourmouth morsels. Salvation’s chefs pride themselves on preparing innovative, inspiring dishes from every corner of the world. And you won’t break the bank dining there. Dishes are in the

Who’d have thought something called Banana Chocolate Purses would be such ﬁne, crispy little morsels sprinkled with coconut and sugar that ooze melty dark chocolate when you bite into them. We also sampled some amazing shortcakes made with strawberries in a balsamic reduction, and topped with house-made whipped cream. Ahhh. We can’t wait to return to Salvation Café. The Teriyaki salmon beckons, served with lemon coconut rice and that enticing crispy spinach. We also want to hear more about Dan’s experience on reality TV.

“Castles in the Sky” director, Taylor Steele pioneers new coastlines on every corner of the globe for this visually inspirational surf film. “Castles in the Sky” is a visual whirlwind that follows surfers to the farthest reaches of the known surf world and beyond. The movie is a completely new approach to surf filmmaking. Filmed in five countries over three years, the movie delves into the true heart of the locations while the surfers travel through them with a sense of open-minded awe. With never-before seen waves, an original score, and some of the best surfers in the world such as Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Rob Machado and Dave Rastovich contributing their art, passion and athleticism, this is as close to the experience of pioneering new coastlines as you can get without getting on a plane. The movie, from the creators of the critically-acclaimed 2006 film and photo book, Slipping Jetstreams,

is to inspire surfers to break away from the pattern of traveling to the same well-known destinations, but as a result, we ended inspiring ourselves to do the same. Before that

ﬁlm was even done, we were already planning this next evolution of the project with a whole new list of destinations. With a much more elaborate plan for ‘Castles in the Sky,’ we learned of the intricate ways things can go wrong. If Sipping Jetstreams was like an ambient dream you have after travel, ‘Castles’ is more like the experience of actually being there,” says Taylor Steele. “The whole point of ‘Castles in the Sky’ is to inspire people to investigate a little deeper in their travels” really getting to know the locals and cultures they visit. The people at Waves of Health embody this vision a step beyond what any of us are doing by actually investing themselves in the regions where they work and personally giving something back.

Health status to be monitored with innovative technology A new program is starting Tuesday, June 8 at the Middletown Senior Center to help patients dealing with chronic medical conditions. The new TeleMonitoring Health and Wellness Kiosk will allow at least two dozen older adult participants to check their vital signs two times per week and receive follow up from the wellness nurses at Visiting Nurse Services of Newport & Bristol Counties. The goal of this program is to assist individuals in managing and understanding their disease and learn ways to remain healthy and in control of their conditions. Every participant is given an ID swipe card which contains their personal health information. Upon swiping the personalized ID card, the patient is instructed to step on a scale, put on the BP cuff and oxygen monitor. Three subjective questions are asked based on the patient’s disease process. The patient answers these by simply hitting a Yes or No key. Results are sent wirelessly to Visiting Nurse Services of Newport & Bristol Counties. The VNS Wellness nurses monitor each of the readings and call the patients to personally discuss the status of

A Wildlife Calling

Reel Report

By Jack Kelly

By Capt. Tim Flaherty Hello anglers! The last quarter of the lunar cycle began on June 4 and with the weak tides at only 39 percent of full phase, fishing was mediocre. The good news is that fishing conditions will improve this coming week as a result of increased tidal action that comes with the advent of the new moon on June 12. Expect strong tides from June 9 -12. Don’t forget to replace lasts years fishing line and to remember to lubricate the drag on your reels. That big bass may put your gear to the test this week. Be prepared! Massive schools of bait have been seen from Coddington Cove to the R-2 buoy at the bay’s entrance. Castle Hill cove was teeming with silversides to 4 inches all week. After sunset, bass enter the cove to feast on these delicacies. I can still hear the echo of those tail-slapping stripers. Bass, using their tails as weapons, stun the silversides with surface slaps, then, circle to devour the incapacitated bait. Reliable sources report similar conditions on the Sakonnet River side of Sachuest Point and at the Third Beach ramp. The old-timers tell me they are encouraged by the abundance of bait in our bay this year, boding well for our fishing season, since it may cause the game fish to remain in our bay longer. Despite the weak tides, we managed to land fish in the lower bay and out front. Joe and Anthony D’Melio of Connecticut returned to fish with us for their 12th consecutive season. Anthony, now 18, start-

(L-R) Anthony and Joe D’Melio, Richard Morro and Ken Lacey display their catch of stripers and sea bass. ed fishing with us at age 6. Over the years, Anthony has become a skilled and accomplished angler. In all his endeavors, from baseball to academics, his hard work has paid off. As a college freshman, Anthony has excelled with a 3.8 G.P.A. Last week, Anthony displayed those angling skills, again, landing bass after bass on light tackle, using only tenpound-test line. Avid, local angler, Ken Lacey, owner of Easton’s Point Pub & Restaurant, and chef Richard Morro were also aboard for that charter. In less than four hours, the lads landed over 12 bass, returning most of them to the sea. Fluke are finally in the bay and some jumbos are being taken from south of Gould Island to Fort Adams. Capt. Pat Heaney, of City-by-the-Sea Charters (489-3004), has had a fine time all week fishing his favorite fluke drifts. Smaller fluke are more common along the beaches on the

ocean side. Second Beach and Elbow Ledge are producing fluke in 45 feet of water but many are less than this year’s keeper size of 19.5 inches. Black sea bass and scup are showing up in the lower bay, as well as on the ocean side. Drifting squid is your best bet. If you find a large pod of these tasty species, drop an anchor and you may be able to chum them in. This tactic will produce many more fish than merely drifting. Fishing the humps in front of Ledge Road and near Buoy 2 should be productive, too. Try fishing 30 - 50 feet of water. That’s all, for now. All the best and tight lines! Capt.Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island native, who taught high school and college history. He has been bay angling for over 50 years as was his father, Frank.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge is seeking new volunteer staff members. Volunteers are the backbone of the National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) system. Volunteers assist with programs that help visitors better understand the relationship between wildlife and habitat. The list of volunteer positions is varied. No previous experience is necessary, just a desire to preserve the NWR paradigm for the generations to come. If you are looking for a rewarding volunteer position that will allow you to be close to nature, this is the place. For information contact: Janis Nephinsky, USFWS at 364-9124 ext. 28 or by e-mail at janisnephinsky@FWS.gov. Janis is the Visitor Services Director for all of NWR in Rhode Island. WILDLIFE SERIES The Friends of the National Wildlife Refuges of Rhode Island has released its Summer 2010, ”Wildlife Wednesday” lecture series schedule. The series runs from June 9 through Aug. 25. All “Wildlife Wednesday” presentations will take place at 7 p.m. at the US Fish and Wildlife Service Kettle Pond Visitors Center, 50 Bend Road, Charlestown, RI, directly off of Route 1. There is no admission charge, however, donations to the Friends will be gratefully accepted. People of all ages will enjoy this series. The ﬁrst lecture will be given by Dr. Bob Kenney, a marine biologist, from the URI graduate school of oceanography. Dr. Kenney is one of the foremost authorities on right whales. He will speak on the subject of the different types of whales found in our area waters.

PHOTO CONTEST The Friends have also announced their 10th annual photo contest for 2010. Prizes are awarded in four categories; flora, fauna, landscape or habitat, and for children 14 and under. Children’s photos can be of any subject on the refuge. The only criteria for submitted photos is that they be taken on one of the five NWRs in Rhode Island. So if you have a budding Ansel Adams, now is the time. Deadline for entries is Sept. 6, 2010. All photos entered will be displayed at the Center for the Arts in West Kingston, RI on Rt. 138. An opening reception will be held on Sept. 19, 2010. All entrants are invited. Entry forms and details can be obtained at the Sachuest Point NWR, Visitor Center in Middletown, open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. except Wednesdays. For any questions regarding the photo contest or “Wildlife Wednesdays” please contact Janis Nephinsky or Dr. Kenney at Friends.RI@Verizon.net, 7834369 or 874-6664, or Jack Kelly at 595-6125. Friends of the National Wildlife Refuges of Rhode Island is a group of concerned citizens that responded to the inadequacy of budget funds allotted to our local NWR system. The Friends are devoted to the conservation and development of healthy habitat for flora and fauna, and a safe accessible ecological experience for all visitors. Friends is a non-profit organization that supports numerous efforts of the USFWS staff. Jack Kelly is a volunteer at Sachuest Point NWR and is a member of the board of directors of the Friends of the NWR of Rhode Island.
