Update Rogers Students Helping with Marsh Project on Energy Consortium

By Jack Kelly

The late U.S. Senator John Chafee of Rhode Island once said, “Give nature half a chance and it will succeed.” This is the paradigm for the project that has given the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes in Newport a new lease on life. Decades of neglect and abuse had turned this critical wetland system into a dying, festering and odious eyesore. Through a concerted restoration project involving the removal of a non-functioning dam, and the installation of two new culverts that increased the tidal flow of ocean waters, the marshes began to heal.

While the major restoration was completed three years ago, there is an ongoing series of maintenance projects being performed,that will ensure the continued growth and health of these sensitive and vital wetlands.

Through the guidance of Save the Bay’s staff, local volunteers and others have contributed to this extraordinary effort to rehabilitate the entire Gooseneck Cove area.

Recently, Save the Bay staff members, summer interns and local volunteers participated in just such an endeavor. Lead by restoration coordinator Wenley Ferguson and coastal ecologist, Marcie Cole-Ekberg, the group attacked two projects that will aid the drainage of sensitive marsh areas

Cole-Ekberg led a contingent of workers that included Rob Hudson, a Save the Bay Restoration Ecologist, interns Danielle Ploufe and Annie Procagcini, and John Buchanon of Newport, a coastal restoration intern,

into the southwest portion of the marsh to hand-dig and clear drainage channels. Ferguson and intern Shelby Southworth cleared channels on the east side of the marsh. This is very physical and tiring work. This particular day was overcast, humid, and warmer than average, with calm winds. Due to

MIDDLETOWN – At its meeting on Monday, June 4, the Town Council heard an update from Town Administrator Shawn Brown about several changes to proposed state legislation regarding the East Bay Energy Consortium (EBEC). The revised legislation would make EBEC a subsidiary of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and would remove the power of eminent domain from its mandate. Also, all financial responsibility would go to EBEC. “Basically, the operations of the EBEC have to come from the revenue of the organization,” Brown said.

Another change would affect the way in which the town’s EBEC representative would be chosen. If the bill is passed, the Council would submit three names to the Governor, who would then choose one of the candidates to be ratified by the State Senate. Another change regards the process for removal of a board member, which would occur according to rules set forth by the state statute. Also, “the executive director of the EDC would be on the board,” Brown said.

Under the previously proposed legislation, EBEC would have been

Fire Pits Ignite Neighborhood Flare-ups

By Tom Shevlin They've become a popular backyard amenity, sold in hardware stores across the island and used as a focal point to bring friends and families together.

However, those backyard fire pits and chimineas are causing a fair bit of heat for city officials.

According to city ordinance, no outdoor burning is permitted within city limits at any time, with the exception of bonfires, or "other ceremonial fires" that are approved by the fire chief, and outdoor grills used for cooking.

However, over the last few years, as their popularity has grown, so too has the number of complaints received by the Office of Fire Prevention related to outdoor fireplaces.

According to Fire Marshal Wayne Clark, historically, his office has taken a passive role when it comes to homeowners enjoying fire pits on private property. However, when

in neighborhood disputes."

Still, given Newport's collection of historic homes and densely populated areas, the city does take seriously any outdoor burning violations.

Fire Marshal Clark has seen on numerous occasions, barbecue pits that are left unattended or grills placed too close to homes. Some cases have resulted in charred shingles and small fires.

In addition to the possibility of fire, smoke wafting into open windows can be a nuisance that prompts neighbor complaints, Clark said.

Most of the time, the department has been successful in remedying complaints without much trouble. However, if a violator does become persistent, fines of up to $1,000 can be pursued through municipal court.

City Council members are due to discuss the matter further next week at their Wednesday, June 11 meeting.

a complaint is received, they're bound to respond.

"It's kind of a balance," explained Clark. "We don't have the manpower to become the chiminea police," but at the same time, he said there are valid safety concerns that need to be addressed anytime it comes to introducing open flames into Newport's historic neighborhoods.

According to Clark, staffing levels in his office preclude inspectors from proactively focusing on prevention efforts for this sporadic activity, however in most cases, those who are adversely affected by unlawful outdoor burning do typically report specific activity to the fire department for mitigation.

Fire Chief Peter Connerton is also quick to note that many times complaints over outdoor burning stem from unrelated issues between neighbors.

"Some people just don't like them," he said, adding, "We don't generally want to be put in the position where we're getting involved

June 7, 2012 Newport This Week Page 3

By Tom Shevlin In a big boost for organizers, Fidelity Investments has signed on as a major sponsor of the America's Cup World Series.

The announcement comes just weeks before the festivities begin in the ACWS Newport regatta and days after it was revealed that organizers had sold roughly 95 percent of its exclusive corporate skyboxes.

According to organizers, eight different companies had signed on to take space in the $30,000 skyboxes overlooking the race course.

Discussions with Fidelity had been ongoing for months, and were only recently finalized.

“The AC World Series in Newport marks the climax of the first season of very close, competitive and compelling racing in the 34th America’s Cup,” Stephen Barclay, interim CEO of the America’s Cup, said in a prepared statement.

“We’re very pleased to have Fidelity Investments join us in Newport for this milestone regatta. Fidelity has strong ties to the community and a legacy of achievement that makes them an ideal partner for the return of America’s Cup teams racing in Newport, which was home to the Cup from 1930 to 1983.” An Official Sponsor of the Newport regatta, Fidelity Investments is also the presenting sponsor of the AC World Series Newport Exploration Zone and the Volunteer Program.

The Exploration Zone, located on the north lawn at Fort Adams, will offer an interactive experience for children and adults of all ages. The 100 foot x 40 foot tent will showcase more than a dozen exhibits from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO), the America’s Cup

“The attributes and skills of a competitive sailor mirror those of a great investor. Both require strong leadership, detailed planning, disciplined behavior, a thirst for knowledge and a persistent pursuit of performance.

Ron O'Hanley of Fidelity Investments Healthy Ocean Project partners, and local non-profits. In addition, there will be a small theatre off the main tent, where attendees can enjoy a variety of short lectures given by scientists and students. “Fidelity Investments is proud to be part of bringing America’s Cup racing back to Newport and the state of Rhode Island after nearly 30 years,” said Ron O’Hanley, president, Asset Management and Corporate Services for Fidelity Investments. “The attributes and skills of a competitive sailor mirror those of a great investor. Both require strong leadership, detailed planning, disciplined behavior, a thirst for knowledge and a persistent pursuit of performance, which is why our employees are so excited to be partnering in this historic event.” As part of the festivities, the Fidelity trademarked “green line” will run from the AC Village entrance to Fidelity’s “Thinking Big” exhibit space in the Exploration Zone.

“Thinking Big” (fidelity.com/thinkingbig) is a new, innovative campaign that utilizes digital video, social media, print and interactive Web elements to showcase thought-provoking insights generated by the firm’s leading equity, fixed income and asset allocation analysts across a range of timely, global investment topics. Located in the heart of the America’s Cup Village, the Exploration Zone presented by Fidel-

ity Investments will be open from Saturday, June 23 through Sunday, July 1. Fidelity will also be the presenting sponsor of AC World Series Newport Volunteer Program. Approximately 50 volunteers, including a core group of Fidelity employees, will be recruited to help support the Newport event, in all aspects of the operations including marketing, media, television, client services, sustainability, accreditation, and race management. The racing schedule for the America’s Cup World Series Newport begins Thursday, June 28, and culminates July 1 with the ACWS Newport Fleet Racing Championship, a 40-minute race after which the first AC World Series Champion will be crowned. Racing on July 1 will be broadcast live, coast to coast, on NBC. Nine crews from seven countries are competing in the 2011-12 AC World Series, including: Artemis Racing (Sweden), skipper Terry Hutchinson; China Team (China), skipper Phil Robertson; Emirates Team New Zealand (New Zealand), skipper Dean Barker; Energy Team (France), helmsman Loïck Peyron; Luna Rossa Challenge (Italy), with two boats, helmsmen Chris Draper and Paul Campbell-James; ORACLE TEAM USA (USA) with two boats, skippers James Spithill and Darren Bundock; and Team Korea (Korea) with skipper Nathan Outteridge.

America's Cup Crews Arriving On Scene

By Tom Shevlin After months of planning and anticipation, the circus is finally coming ashore. A container ship carrying nine AC45 catamarans from seven different countries is due to arrive into Quonset Point on June 10, as the America's Cup World Series descends on Newport.

The containers' arrival marks the most visible development in preparation for the ACWS, which is scheduled to begin June 23. According to Brad Read, chairman of the America's Cup World Series Rhode Island Host Committee, the containers are due to be unloaded June 11 and transported to Fort Adams on June 12.

Five private yachts are also making the trip across the Atlantic from the most recent host port in Venice, Italy.

On Tuesday, the first wave of crew members from the America's Cup Event Authority's Race Management team were also due to arrive in town.

"Help is on the way," Read said last week.

Meanwhile, Joe Dias, of the

state's Department of Environmental Management (DEM) reported that his agency was planning on installing a new large floating dock for expanded water shuttle service in the coming days, with new lighting also scheduled to be installed this week. And perhaps most exciting, ground is also due to be broken on a new rain garden at one of Fort Adams' largest parking lots to help stem the influx of stormwater runoff into Newport Harbor.

The garden was planned through the host committee's Environment and Sustainability subcommittee and will be planted by ACWS sailors and volunteers as part of the weeklong festivities.

Once complete, it should help naturally treat rainwater flows before it enters the bay.

According to Read, when the lot (which is located on the left hand side of the road just before the fort's rugby pitch) was built, its drainage system was plumbed to discharge directly into Brenton Cove.

Annie Brett works for Sailors for the Sea and co-chairs the Environment and Sustainability subcommittee. She described the proj-

ect as a "lasting legacy to leave behind" both for the fort and the community.

Asked if the fort would be complete in time for the event, Dias responded confidently,"We should be ready to go."

Store Opens, Opening Ceremony Planned In addition to improvements at the fort, consumers looking to snag some "schwag," the official America's Cup store has opened at the former Gap space on Long Wharf.

It's open from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily, and features a selection of official merchandise. Merchandise can also be found at Team One on Thames Street and at the Gateway visitors' center.

If that's not enough, Read also announced on Friday that an opening ceremony is also being planned for June 27. The event, which will feature the music of The Ravers and a parade of teams, is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.

Admission is free, and Read is promising "All the pomp and circumstance of an Olympic ceremony."

National Water Safety Month The Newport YMCA is recognizing National Water Safety Month and would like to remind you of the following water safety tips.

Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone. Adults should constantly and actively watch children in and near the water. If multiple adults are in the vicinity, designate a “water watcher” so everyone knows who is on duty. Inexperienced swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket when in, on or around the water. Parents or guardians of children who are nonswimmers or beginning level swimmers should be in the water and within arm’s reach of their child.

Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities in the water.

To learn more about the Newport County YMCA’s swim programs, contact Jim Farrell, Aquatics Director at 401-847-9200 extension 108 or jimf@newportymca.org.

All camps are free of charge due to a grant from the Rhode Island Council on the Arts and will take place in August. For more information, contact info@PortsmouthArts.org, or call (401) 293-5ART.

For What It’s Worth Mr. Santi: While renovating our Newport house we found this cast iron plate in the back of a closed up fire place. It is about 22” tall. Very rusty, but the figure appears to be Neptune and the date is hard to make out but looks like 1723. Is this worth saving?

— A Remodeler Dear Remodeler, Because your fireplace was walled over for years, you have discovered a treasure that might have been junked or donated to a War scrap dve in times past. Your fireback is unusually small. Be careful cleaning it; use a soft brush and perhaps a stove blackening finish. I would recommend that it not be placed back in the fireplace but hung on a wall as a decoration.

If from the 18th century, its value would be in the $500 price range.

aybe it's the promise of summer, but we can't help but feel sunny about the sentiment expressed by several members of the School Committee this week regarding their commitment to exploring shared services with the city.

It's just a small step, but consolidating services across departments – be they in facilities management, purchasing, or finance – is a step in the right direction.

We hope that it's just a start.

Kudos also need to be given to Tiphanie Fuentes, Rogers High School's valedictorian who we profile in this week's issue. Bound for Harvard on a full scholarship, she is proof positive of the quality of education that can stem from our public schools. We wish her, and all of the island's graduates, well in all their future endeavors.

The weather has been iffy of late, but this week's forecast calls for sun and it looks as if a warm-up is on the way. Let's resolve to get out and enjoy it before the crush of visitors for the America's Cup World Series and Tall Ships come to town.

Speaking of the America's Cup and Tall Ships events, in this week's issue, we've included a special look ahead on both. We encourage you take a pair of scissors and put it up on the fridge as a handy reference for you and any summertime visitors who might be wondering what the next few weeks have in store.

This is also as good a time as any to applaud the efforts of the volunteers who have spent so much time organizing the upcoming America's Cup World Series. Without asking for anything in return, dozens of Rhode Islanders have come together to ensure that the return of America's Cup racing is a success. Saying nothing of the international exposure it offers, if the event proves as lucrative as has been promised, this could be a real boon to our local economy. It might even be enough to lure organizers from other world-class regattas such as the Volvo Ocean Race.

Which brings us to the update from the fleet.

Newport's Ken Read and crew aboard Puma's Mar Mostro posted yet another strong showing in the seventh leg of the 2011-12 VOR last week, finishing in third place behind leg winner Abu Dhabi Racing and Groupama.

Now in third place in the overall standings, the Newport-based crew are well positioned to secure a top finishing spot when the race wraps up in July. The coming weeks will be the final sprint for the team, who trained out of the Newport Shipyard on a boat built at Portsmouth's New England Boatworks. They currently find themselves just nine points off the lead, which isn't bad considering just six months ago, the crew found themselves just days after the start of the first leg, stranded on a remote island somewhere off the coast of Africa with a broken mast and plenty of bruised egos.

And finally, this week, a correction is in order. In an article that appeared in last week's edition entitled "Chicken Complaints on the Rise" we incorrectly stated that chickens are permitted in the city's R-10 zone. In fact, chickens are only currently permitted in areas zoned R-160. We regret the error.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Paiva-Weed Blocking Ethics Bill To the Editor: For the third year in a row, the House and the Senate are refusing to bring up for a vote a bill that would reinstate the power of the Ethics Commission to investigate and prosecute members of the General Assembly who use the public offices they hold to benefit themselves and their family members.

Several weeks ago, Margaret Kane, president of Operation Clean Government, published an excellent Op Ed piece laying out the background of Rep. Marcello’s H7603 bill “Restoring Ethics Commission Jurisdiction over the Legislature” and explaining how both the House and the Senate Judiciary Committees have bued the bill so that their members would not have to vote on it. What she did not do is point to the person primarily responsible for this impasse, not only this year, but last year and the year before that: Teresa Paiva-Weed.

Paiva-Weed is adamantly opposed to this bill. So, no doubt, are some of the members of the Assembly who are quite comfortable sponsoring bills which favor their self-interests or those of their relatives. But Paiva-Weed is the key:

if she were in favor of this bill, it would come up for a vote; as long as she is opposed, it won’t.

Newporters are uniquely placed to do something about this outrage. Paiva-Weed routinely ignores good government groups like Operation Clean Government, Common Cause, and the League of Women Voters which have argued for years that the power of the Ethics Commission must be restored.

Unfortunately, most of the members of those groups do not vote in Newport, so Paiva-Weed runs little sk in brushing them off. But she might pay attention if enough Newporters called or wrote her making clear that they want the Ethics Commission bill (H7603) passed this year.

If 20, 30, 50 Newporters took the trouble to contact her, she would notice, and maybe act. Write her.

Call her.Keep on her. And perhaps let her know that if she continues her obstruction, you will do all you can to help vote her out of office in the Fall.

In Defense of Teachers To the Editor; Harper Bidwell’s comments in your May 31 edition caused dismay to this reader because of his scurrilous condemnations of Newport’s teachers. These professionals, unlike professionals in other fields, are not offered stock options, costof-living raises, and not to mention, the respect of those like him, who use terms such as “coddled”, “incompetent” and … viewing students as an afterthought.”

His suggestion that “a normal person…should suspend all talks with teachers…open school as usual…await a state showdown…” is not only unintelligent but insulting.

“Hand the problem to Providence for divine guidance?” Oh, my.

His stand is far short of an offer to personally assist this city, indeed, since he lives in NYC, far from his area of concern.

Your many years of residency in your city, Mr. Bidwell, should embrace an allegiance that is positive and helpful toward our committed teachers. Perhaps you could journey back, talk to your constituents.

Then, some may take you seriously.

MANAGER CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 service, and payroll. The position also serves as that of "Risk Manager" for the Newport Public Schools.

However, with a mutual push towards shared services between the school and the city, one possibility could find the next business manager under the helm of the city’s Director of Finance, Laura Sitrin.

The news of Miley’s resignation comes nearly a week after an attimes heated meeting between the Newport School Committee and members of the City Council where a discussion on the Fiscal Year 2013 budget quickly segued to the topic of shared services.

There, City Manager Jane Howington said despite being challenged to collaborate and share services, the two sides had made no progress other than talking.

Miley’s resignation also comes on the heels of a CPA report prepared by Providence-based accounting firm LGC&D, which raised questions about the school department's business management.

While the administration declined to provide a copy to Newport This Week in time for press, members of the school committee who have seen it, called the report, “very upsetting.”

According to Ambrogi, the full

findings will be released in time for the school committee’s next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 12.

In addition to providing a general overview of the school department's business management, the report also echoes an earlier audit conducted for the city's finance department and released earlier this year. That report, according to school committee member Robert Leary, found the school’s financial management in “bad shape.”

Leary also called the latest business report, “scathing.”

On Tuesday, Leary, who has been a longtime proponent of shared services, said that rather than duplicating efforts across departments, he would be in favor of appointing to take over and “drive the bus.”

In handing the reins over to Sitrin, Leary believes she would be better able to organize the city's combined finances, which ultimately originate from City Hall.

Other members of the school committee shared Leary's disappointment.

School Committeewoman Jo Eva Gaines said she found the report “very disturbing.”

When asked if she shares Leary’s enthusiasm for shared services with

the city side, she said, “I’m for anything that is going to improve the production of operations that will lead to better success for our kids.

I’m all about improving the education of kids in Newport. If sharing of services is going to allow us to concentrate more on that, then we need to talk about it, but I’m not one to make up my mind before I get all the facts.”

As far as Miley’s resignation is concerned, Gaines acknowledged that the school department has faced problems in recent years within the finance department, and questioned whether there is enough school-side business management training taught in college accounting courses. “It’s a new problem for us here in Newport, but it’s a longtime problem statewide,” she said. “Whoever takes over the position will have to come up with some school business training … it’s a whole different ballgame from city finances.”

The school committee is expected to discuss both Miley’s resignation and the CPA report at their regular monthly meeting on June 12 in room 924 of the Newport Area Career and Technical Center at Rogers High School.

Tolls Loom Over Budget Discussions

By Tom Shevlin As the General Assembly moves to adjourn for the year, it appears that the specter of tolls on the new Sakonnet River Bridge is again poised to play a prominent role in the state's political discourse. In recent weeks, a bill being pushed through the General Assembly that would install tolls on the new span once it's complete next year, has become both a focal point for Sakonnet area residents; and a sticking point for at least one island legislator.

Part of Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee's 2014 budget package, the plan, which was expected to be voted on in the House this week, would hand over the Sakonnet River and Jamestown bridges to the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority.

According to Michael P. Lewis, the director of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, the state simply can't afford to properly care for its roads and bridges without implementing some sort of toll or toll increase on one of the four bridges that connect Aquidneck Island to the East and West Bay. Appearing on the Buddy Cianci Show on Monday, Lewis said that the options for raising revenue are limited. As is his agency's ability to maintain the state's inventory of overpasses and bridges.

According to Lewis, in order to ensure the longevity of the new Sakonnet River Bridge, the state needs to put in a place a dedicated stream to fund its maintenance.

However, as the dominant gateway on and off Aquidneck Island (more than 15 million cars pass over it each year, compared with 10 million for the Newport Pell Bridge), some fear that placing tolls on the new Sakonnet Bridge would hurt business, pinch residents, and discourage visitors.

In April, the board of directors of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously to oppose any tolls on new span, saying that additional tolls would increase the costs of goods and services to the East Bay, make it

harder for business to recruit top talent, and have a negative impact on the competitive position of the island in preparation of the anticipated 2015 Base Realignment and Closure process by increasing the commuter costs for defense industry employees.

Others say that the toll could push motorists onto the Mount Hope Bridge, which is already taxed heavily by the roughly 5 million cars that travel over it each year.

Lewis is keenly aware of the concerns, but argues that ceding responsibility for the new bridge is a prudent financial move considering the roughly $400 million in repairs that the DOT needs to take on to rebuild the Route 6-10 connector in Providence.

"We just can't afford it," Lewis said.

However, state Rep. Daniel Reilly (R–Middletown, Portsmouth), isn't so sure that Aquidneck Island residents will be able to afford the DOT's toll proposal.

"In general I'm opposed to the tolling of the Sakonnet River Bridge," he said. "I'm concerned about the effect it would have on my constituents and I'm also concerned it would have on businesses locally."

Reilly believes that if approved, the tolls could have a particularly negative impact on lower wage, but steady, jobs in the island's manufacturing and agriculture base. "Even if I generally liked tolls,

I still would have concerns over this proposal," Reilly said.

Among them: Giving tolling authority to RITBA, whose make-up is determined at the State House; and the creation of the East Bay Infrastructure Fund.

Also proposed as part of Chafee's budget, revenue from the EBIF would be drawn from the new tolls and dispersed on infrastructure throughout Newport County.

According to Reilly, if passed, the measure would require residents from Aquidneck Island to subsidize road work in communities like Warren or Barrington that aren't as burdened by the toll.

Asked whether he was concerned about DOT's ability to maintain the bridge if the proposal fails, Reilly voiced strong confidence in the beleaguered agency's Lewis.

"It's really a night and day difference from where it was 10 years ago," Reilly said.

"We can't not build new bridges because we're afraid (the state) is not going to maintain them," he added. "I think the bigger problem with DOT is the crushing debt load that they're carrying."

The House was expected to take up the proposal on Thursday, June 7, with the Senate expected to follow in the coming weeks.

Still, Reilly concedes that his is an uphill battle. "From a pure arithmetic standpoint, I don't think we have the votes in Newport County to oppose this," he said.

30 Years of Accomplishments * Update on Newport Harbor *

ALL ARE INVITED!

Rogers Student Earns Harvard Scholarship

By Meg O’Neil Rogers High School senior Tiphanie Fuentes was pacing in her room. She was supposed to have received an email from Harvard University’s Admission Office at 5 p.m. and the clock was now reading well past 9 p.m. It wasn’t until close to 10 p.m. that the Rogers class of 2012 Valedictorian was perusing the internet and found out that Harvard’s online server had been bogged down by thousands of other students like her, eager to learn of their admission status to the prestigious school.

Not quite resolved to the situation, Fuentes tried one last time to enter her login information on the school’s website. This time, however, instead of receiving an error message, she was greeted with music and a video featuring red,

bold letters simply stating: “Welcome, Class of 2016.”

She had done it. She was accepted to Harvard University. Screaming in excitement, Fuentes ran down the stairs to tell the rest of her family the news.

This year, Harvard admitted 2,032 of the 34,302 students who applied – amounting to an acceptance rate of just 5.9 percent, the lowest among Ivy League schools.

What makes the acceptance even sweeter is that Fuentes received a piece of “snail-mail” from Harvard a few days later informing her that she had earned a full, fouryear scholarship.

Fuentes, who had already received acceptance letters from several other schools, including Tufts and Northeastern (all with accompanying scholarships), admits

that Harvard was secretly her first choice.

Born in Warwick, Fuentes moved to Newport shortly after preschool and attended Underwood Elementary School and Thompson Middle School. Reflecting on her accomplishments earlier this week, Fuentes credits several Rogers’ teachers with helping her realize her passions: language and technology.

Monica Awde, the Academy of Information Technology teacher at Rogers, has taught Fuentes for the past four years. “Tiphanie works hard every day … she is so committed to her own education and she takes great pride and pleasure in learning. I really want to emphasize learning, because it truly is not the

The biggest week of the year for the U.S. Naval War College will soon be here. During a four day period each June, Navy Newport rolls out the red carpet for over 2500 visitors to two high-profile events on the Coaster’s Harbor Island campus: the Secretary of the Navy’s annual Current Strategy Forum (CSF) and the Naval War College (NWC) graduation.

The 63rd annual Current Strategy Forum will be held June 12-13, when over 600 leaders from business, government and academia join with senior military officers to discuss critical world issues. This year’s theme, “Global Trends: Implications for National Policy and the Maritime Forces,” will examine how the drawdown from extended wars impacts U.S. security and the international strategic environment. The country’s continued slow economic growth and the turmoil of the international economy on U.S. strategy will also be analyzed.

The Honorable Robert O. Work, Under Secretary of the Navy; General Joseph F. Dunford Jr., Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps; Dr. Peter W. Singer, of the Brookings Institution; Dr. Abigail E. Disney, Executive Producer of “Women, War & Peace”; and Dr. Nicholas Rodger, of the University of Oxford, will offer keynote addresses.

The Current Strategy Forum is an integral part of the curriculum for students at the NWC, who also attend panel discussions and breakdown sessions to further analyze forum topics. Rear Adm. John N. Christenson, President of the Naval War College, says that the CSF “is the cumulative academic event of

Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Jonathan Greenert the year for our students and participants who come from all across the country.”

After a one day break, the college will hold its major graduation of the year. The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert, will address this year’s graduates during the June 15 ceremony. Flags from more than 60 countries, representing the students from foreign navies who are members of the graduating class, will fly over Dewey Field as the students parade from the college to the ceremony. The event marks the end of a year of rigorous study for the over 500 graduates, including 111 international students and 100 distance education students. Over 2000 guests are expected to attend.

The students, who come from all U.S. services, various government agencies, and international navies, will be moving on to key national security positions throughout the world. During their time at the NWC they learn about and – from each other, and bridges are built between services, agencies and nations.

Traffic Advisory

Free, Fast & Easy...

Commuters can expect delays/ detours when traveling on Burma Road/Defense Highway through October. Traffic will routinely be reduced to one lane and both lanes will be completely closed June 16 July 7 to facilitate rail replacement.

Plan accordingly.

Family members began to arrive at Naval Station Newport’s Kay Hall before midnight last Thursday in anticipation of the homecoming of 276 officers and sailors assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron Eight. The sailors were returning from a six-month deployment to the United Arab Emirates and were expected around 4 a.m.

Other unit members, including 35 personnel who had also deployed and returned on May 25, were doing their best to keep nearly 250 loved ones comfortable and entertained.

Finally, at 4:45 a.m. the seven bus loads of sailors arrived to a cheering crowd.

The reunion was filled with joy for all, but some moments were especially poignant. Seven children were born to deployed fathers, and four of the babies were waiting in the gym to meet their Dads for the first time. BMC Jason Baker, winner of the “1st Kiss” raffle, dropped to one knee after entering the gym and proposed to girlfriend Debbi Portalini who tearfully accepted.

Music on the O’Club Deck The Officers’ Club Summer Concert series continues Friday, June 8 with Jim Harvey playing soft rock, oldies and R&B. All hands with base access are invited to celebrate summer with music and seafood on the deck each Friday at 5:30 p.m. through August.

Dual Graduations at OTC Newport Officer Training Command will hold two graduations on Friday, June 15 in Kay Hall. Thirty-eight graduates of Officer Candidate School will be commissioned in a 9 a.m. ceremony before heading off to more training and to the fleet. The guest speaker will be Rear Adm. Mark Heinrich, commander of Naval Supply Systems Command. Later that morning at 11 a.m., 138 staff corps officers will graduate from Officer Development School. Capt. William Fauntleroy, commanding officer of Navy Chaplaincy School and Center, will address the graduates. Navy Band Northeast will perform at both ceremonies. For more information, call 841-1171.

Coast Guard Practices Yacht Rescues

By Jonathan Clancy As boating season begins to kick into high gear, thoughts wander off to calm days on the water, fishing, family, friends, and good times. The ocean is vast and beautiful, but equally powerful and moody. It can bring as much pain as joy, and demands respect. When disaster strikes, and the call goes out, the Coast Guard is ready to give all they’ve got to bring everyone home safe.

During a training exercise just off the docks of the busy Newport Shipyard on May 31, crew from a Jayhawk – HH-60J helicopter demonstrated the precision and effectiveness with which a rescue can be executed. The Jayhawk holds a crew of four, has a range of 700 nautical miles, can fly for seven hours, cruises comfortably at 140 knots, and can reach dash speeds of 180 knots. It’s capable of hovering just ten feet above the water, and has room to hoist six people on board during a rescue.

After the simulated exercise, members of the Coast Guard explained some of the technologies used during search and rescue. They also shared a few safety precautions.

“If you have left a voyage plan with someone on land, great! That gives us something to work with,” Commander Jeannot Smith told the crowd. “If you think that there is a need for the Coast Guard, get in touch with us. If you have DSC (Digital Selective Calling), make sure it is connected to your GPS, otherwise the Coast Guard will not be able to get a signal from your location. If I don’t have a searchable area, there’s nothing I can do,” he warned.

(Photo by Jonathan Clancy) Registering your EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) will also help the Coast Guard know who they are looking for if the device is activated either manually or by submersion. Commander Smith also spoke about the importance of safety flares, and PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices), which can increase survival time in the water.

During a SAR (Search and Rescue) event, the Coast Guard uses a PSDA (probability of survival decision aid) program, which takes into account water and air temperature, as well as a survivor’s age, weight, height, and clothing, then gives the Coast Guard two numbers: Functional time, which is the amount of time this individual will be able to tread water in the current conditions, and survival time, the amount of time the individual

Navy Health Wins Award The Olympics might not start until this summer, but Naval Health Clinic New England (NHCNE) Newport has already taken home the gold - the Navy Surgeon General’s “Blue H” with Gold Star for 2011 – the highest award possible for health promotion and wellness programs. The award recognizes excellence in clinic primary prevention services, community health promotion, and medical staff health.

NHCNE’s health promotion efforts include programs on nutrition; sexual health and responsibility; stress management; psychological health and suicide prevention; tobacco cessation; weight management; and alcohol and drug abuse prevention.

Two other commands at the

base were also honored with the Blue H for their staff wellness programs. Surface Warfare Officers School Command earned a Gold Star, and Navy Operational Support Center took the Bronze Anchor.

The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center defines Health and Wellness as “ensuring healthy living through various sources and education by providing tools to assist individuals in gathering helpful information. The mission is to provide quality Health Promotion products and services with a vision of producing a healthy and fit force.

Health promotion and wellness, along with healthy living, continues to address prevention, community health promotion and general wellness.”

will be able to survive if wearing a PFD. The difference between functional and survival time can reach up to four or five hours. “That’s my kicker for wearing a PFD,” Commander Smith said. “If you are wearing it and you are unconscious because of the exposure and unable to tread water, you get a little bit more time, and it helps us.”

Commander Smith assured the crowd that the PSDA is only a guide: “It does not account for the will to live, so I have a lot of flexibility in using this. I’m not hard and fast to it.”

Another problem the Coast Guard encounters is hoax calls.

They come in many forms: accidental maydays over the radio, flares shot off for fun, or people simply abusing a system that should only be used in emergency.

Under the supervision of biology and horticultural teacher Scott Dickison, Rogers High School biology students grew Spartina marsh grass in their classroom. Spartina, also known as Salt Water Cord Grass, is a crucial ecological component to the overall health of saltwater or brackish wetlands. It helps to hold marsh soils in place and prevent the degradation of the marsh.

Accompanied by Dickison and special education teacher Mary Beth Vierra, the 15 students brought their grasses to the marsh located on Hazard Road. Save the Bay also provided two trays of grass plugs for the students to plant. This hands-on experience allowed the students to visit the wetlands that are only 500 yards from their classrooms. Thankfully, an ocean breeze kept the pesky insects from swarming those in attendance.

The students donned boots and waders. With the assistance of Dickison, Ferguson and Southworth, the students planted the marsh grass plugs in exposed soil to maximize their effectiveness.

grades or accolades that she seeks; she seeks an education.”

Fuentes developed an online translator for her senior project that translated English phrases to German, and vice versa. Her work astonished Awde. “’Wow’ is oftentimes the word I associate with her work,” she said. “Her future is as bright as she is. She can do whatever she sets her mind to … and I will be so proud to say ‘I knew her when.’”

The support from her teachers oftentimes extended from beyond the walls of the classroom. Fuentes, who comes from a low socioeconomic background, could not afford to submit her financial aid forms. So her English teacher, Patrick Largee, paid for them. The generosity of her teachers has not gone unnoticed.

“The support from my teachers has been incredible,” Fuentes said.

“Teachers like me as a person and as a student and they’re always willing to help. I wish I could get that across to other kids here: If you do even just a little bit of work and be respectful and show some enthusiasm then everyone will want to help you.”

Even since her elementary school days, Fuentes has been a star student, with her peers often playfully joking, saying: “You should just go to Harvard now.” She says that recently, one of those former Underwood classmates approached her, and shaking his head in a stunned disbelief, said, “Wow. Harvard. We called it years ago!”

When Rogers’ graduation ceremonies commence on Friday, June 15, Fuentes will take the stage to speak to her fellow students as the class of 2012 valedictorian. Next to her will be salutatorian and best friend, Kathleen McKay.

(Photo by Jack Kelly) Four intrepid students, Kyle Watts, Ryan Quinn, Ethan Ingersoll and Chayneth Febus, joined Ferguson and Southworth on a peat island located on the east side of the marsh. They planted Spartina grass plugs near the edge of the island to aid in the conservation of the peat structure.

This joint program between Dickison’s class and Save the Bay is one example of how students in the Newport County region are benefiting from projects of this type. The students not only study the processes that create wetland habitats, they also can participate in a living laboratory.

Local Farms Host Scavenger Hunt Twenty-four Rhode Island farms – including several on Aquidneck Island – are participating in a Rhode Island Farm Scavenger Hunt from now through Dec. 31. If you visit 15 of the farms (listed in the Scavenger Hunt brochure) and get a sticker from each, you could win a prize (First 50 brochures sent in with 15 stickers win prizes.)

If you go to all 24 farms and get stickers, and you are one of the first 50 to mail in your completed brochure, you will win a prize and be eligible to win the Grand Prize: an overnight stay at the bed-andbreakfast Sakonnet Farm in Tiverton.

Brochures are available at all of

the participating farms and also in Newport at the Gateway Visitor Center, 24 America’s Cup Blvd., and at the Norman Bird Sanctuary, Third Beach Rd., Middletown. Check your local library for the brochures, too.

Among local farms participating are Sweet Berry Farm, Newport Vineyards, Greenvale Vineyards, Watson Farm in Jamestown, Walker’s Roadside Stand and Sakonnet Vineyards in Little Compton).

The Scavenger Hunt is sponsored by the Rhode Island Fruit Growers Association and the University of Rhode Island.

The journey of the two friends started with a pact in ninth grade.

According to Fuentes, the two made a promise with each other four years ago: they would try their hardest to be their class valedictorian and salutatorian. Another goal made a reality.

Fuentes called McKay’s family “equally supportive in the college process,” as her own family, bringing her with them on college visits when Fuentes’ family didn't have the means to travel.

When Fuentes attends Harvard in the fall, their friendship will continue, as McKay will be a short distance away – in a dorm room right across the Charles River at Boston University.

Fuentes says that she plans to continue studying computer science and linguistics with a concentration in Japanese. Although Japanese is not offered at Rogers, Fuentes has been self-studying the language on the side.

While Fuentes participated in a number of clubs and groups at Rogers: mock-trial, academic decathlon, and anime club, she admits, “I’ve never been a really outgoing person."

But that hasn't stopped her from already signing up for a slew of organizations at Harvard in the fall.

"I’m going to try to use this college experience to be more available to people," she said. "I want to take advantage of all these opportunities that have been offered to me.”

Already accepted into a preorientation program, Fuentes will move in to her dorm in August and she’s already invited her classmates to come visit her when they can. “I really want people to be able to see what is possible and tell them, ‘this is available to you.’”

MIDDLETOWN CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 allowed to hire employees and to award pensions to them. Under the revised proposal, EBEC employees would not be eligible to collect state pensions. The final change to the proposed legislation clarified that bids would be competitive through a federal process.

Christine Forster spoke on behalf of EBEC, saying the purpose of the legislation is twofold: “To enable EBEC as an entity to enter into a feasibility study with National Grid and to protect Middletown and the other EBEC members from liability.”

Instead of relying on taxpayers for funding, EBEC will seek out bonds that will be paid back with revenue from projects such as the proposed wind turbines in Tiverton.

Regarding the changes to the proposal, which has been under

discussion for three years, Council President Art Weber said, “From a grassroots regional idea, this thing has gotten into the claws of the state, and I’m not comfortable with it. Why should the Governor have any role in appointing somebody assigned to Middletown? It’s really none of his business.”

Also at the meeting, the Council commended the Middletown High School boys tennis team, which recently became the 2012 division three state champions. The team was in attendance and received praise for their hard work and determination, as well as a round of applause from the Council.

In other business, Tina Vars was appointed as a member to the Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force for a term expiring in April 2015.

FROM THE GARDEN Mediterranean Herbs for Summer

Commitment to Excellence AT THE PENNFIELD SCHOOL

By Cynthia Gibson A summer without the combination of freshly sliced tomatoes with scattered basil leaves would be like taking a trip to Italy and not eating pasta. The area around the Mediterranean gives the gardener, cook, and foodie a palette of herbs fit for a Medici. Sweet basil is the first herb that comes to mind. The rest of the palette includes the other very pungent herbs: rosemary, oregano, and marjoram.

Sweet basil has a very interesting history. The other name for this common basil is St. Joseph’s Wort.

Your breast health is important all year long

Keen horticultural and design competitions have long been the hallmark of the Newport Flower Show, but this year’s match-ups will prove hotter than ever. America’s premier summer flower show runs June 22-24 at Rosecliff mansion. The multi-genre inspirations of “Salsa – A Celebration of Latin Cultures” promise myriad events designed to excite, delight, and incite – all of which heat up competition for the prized blue ribbons.

Gardeners from across New England and beyond have been growing, pruning and fretting over their entries for months, hoping to produce a winner. The show encourages participation from all – novices to veterans – and offers an extraordinary number of opportunities to participate.

Visitors will be greeted by showstopping display gardens on Rosecliff’s expansive front lawn. You’ll get the feel of the tropics as you wander through lush visual vignettes created by the area’s most innovative landscape designers.

Floral designers have a wealth of inspiration to draw from when creating their entries. The 15 categories include festive Brazilian Carnaval; the sensual styles of Salsa,

Flamenco and Tango dancing; the artistry of mosaic design; Picasso’s masterpieces; and even an homage to a legendary person of Hispanic descent. Each class entry has specific design parameters and component requirements.

The wide-ranging Horticultural Divisions are even more diverse.

With over 100 classes, there truly is something for everyone. Division I: Creative Outdoor Containers boasts categories ranging from Copacabana to Espresso to Mucho Gusto to Samba Parade, all showcasing festive elements of distinct Latin cultures. Division II: Horticulture features ornamental plants grown in containers. Division III: Cut Specimens offers annuals, perennials, wildflowers, roses, bulbs, and many more classifications. For a complete listing of all classes and specifications, visit www.NewportFlowerShow.com.

The competition heats up even more in the Photography Division.

The juried show accepted unlimited entries in each of the 10 classes through April, but the only the six finalists in each class will be on exhibit at the show. Each class reflects a variation of the Salsa theme. The jury has identified the finalists and their works will be judged June 22

at Rosecliff.

Kids are really getting into the act this year. Promoting love of gardening is a main goal of the flower show, and organizers have created events to ‘plant the seed’ for future generations. Children ages 12 and under will compete in two horticultural categories, Coriandrum Coriander (Cilantro) and Pelargonium‘Patriot’ Zonal Geranium, using plants they received during a gardening workshop in March. The youngsters will also design and create floral arrangements on site during the show. The arrangements will be judged and exhibited for the duration of the event.

This year, more than 20 retail businesses in Newport will join in the festivities by creating Salsathemed display windows. Window judging will take place on Monday, June 18, and ribbons will be awarded June 19. Keep your eye out for these fiery displays across the city.

A symphony of hot colors, passionate designers, exotic plants, and cultural adventures awaits at the Newport Flower Show June 2224. For more on competition, tickets and general show information, visit www.NewportFlowerShow. com.

150-Mile Ride Starts in Middletown Over 1,500 bicyclists are expected to pedal their way over the Newport and Jamestown bridges on Saturday, June 16, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bike MS: Ride the Rhode, which benefits the Rhode Island Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The two-day event features a 150-mile roundtrip journey that will start at 7 a.m. at the Aquidneck Corporate Park on Valley Road in Middletown. From there, cyclists will ride up the hill on Miantanomi Road and cross the Newport and Jamestown bridges on the daylong trek to Wheaton College in Norton, Mass.

The following morning, June 17, cyclists will return to Aquidneck Island, this time crossing the Mount Hope Bridge from Bristol. The bridges will remain open to automobile traffic during the crossings.

The event marks the second time that cyclists have been permitted to cross the Newport and Jamestown bridges for a Bike MS occasion. The last time was in 2007 for the Bike MS 20th anniversary ride.

“It’s a rare opportunity for cy-

clists to go over the bridges,” said Ericka Tavares from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of Rhode Island. “We wanted to do something really different and special for the 25th anniversary of the ride.”

Last year, individual riders and teams raised over $800,000; which helps fund MS programs and services in the state. Monies are also allotted for research to help find a cure. With no known cure, the disease affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate effectively – often

progressing to physical, neurological and cognitive disability.

Because of the numer of participating teams and donors, Tavares said that the organization is on target to surpass last year’s total.

“We’re really fortunate that we’ve received a tremendous amount already … we’re in great shape.”

Many participants will be cycling for family members and friends affected by MS, while others have no personal connection to MS, according to Tavares. “Many people do it just for the ride, but they end up meeting people with MS and form this bond that brings people back to the ride year after year.”

Several cyclists have participated in all 24 prior events. “The camaraderie that people form over the weekend ride is incredible,” Tavares said. “Most of them don’t see each other often, maybe only once a year on this ride, so we create a really fun environment.”

For more information on the race, or to donate, visit www. bikeMSrhodeisland.org, or call 738-8383, option 2.

NATURE Bay Islands Full of Nesting Birds

Glossy Ibis is illuminated by the afternoon sun while searching for prey at the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes.

NEWPORT

Open Every Day For Lunch & Dinner Private Parties • Catering • Free Parking

By Jack Kelly The islands of Narragansett Bay hold centuries of history and more than a few intriguing and perplexing mysteries. Today, many of these islands host seasonal nesting and breeding grounds for a multitude of migratory species. The mostly uninhabited islands such as Rose Island, Gould Island, Dyer Island and other, hold the nests of wading and shorebird species such as Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Blackcrowned Night-Herons, Glossy Ibises, American Oystercatchers and many gull species. Rose Island is closed to visitors during this season to protect the adult birds, hatchlings and vulnerable nests.

One of the unique shorebirds that nests on Rose Island is the American Oystercatcher. This husky bird nests on sandy beaches and barrier islands along the eastern United States coast and Gulf Coast shorelines. The adult plumage of this species is eye-catching. A black hood of head feathers offsets yellow eyes and a red eye ring. The Oystercatcher’s stout redorange bill is thick and heavy, and with brown back feathers above and white belly feathers below, this is a striking bird. The average adult bird is 17-18 inches long with a wingspan of about 32 inches.

The Oystercatcher forages on rocky coasts, in inter-tidal areas and salt marshes for oysters, clams, mussels and crabs. It also eats worms, often visiting flooded fields that are close to nesting areas. This species can be found along the rocky shores of northern Newport Harbor at low tide. One of the best spots to observe this colorful bird is during low tide on the tidal mud and rocky beaches near the causeway that leads to Gate 1 of the Newport Naval Base.

A pair of American Oystercatchers feed on the rocky shoreline by the entrance to Gate 1.

Among the wading birds that nest on Rose Island is the Glossy Ibis. This species migrates north from its wintering grounds on the Florida Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coast. The average adult bird is 23 inches long with a wingspan of about 3 feet and has long dark legs for foraging in marshes. The Glossy Ibis has a dark maroon plumage with iridescent green and purple coverts or wings. The colors of this bird’s plumage intensify when exposed to direct sunlight and create a shimmering effect. It also has dark eyes and a dusky face bordered by narrow, pale blue lines.

The Glossy Ibis has a long decurved bill which it uses to sweep through shallow waters in search of prey or to probe wet farm fields for earthworms. The colorful and unique bird can be observed in wetlands or in local farm fields after rain storms. This species flies in formation and can be confused with Cormorants in flight, except for its longer bill and slimmer body lines.

These are just two of the many species that nest on the islands of Narragansett Bay and may be observed on our beautiful island.

They are extra gifts given to us by nature.

Nesting Notes: During the past two weeks the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes have been very active with multiple Swallow species due to the large concentration of flying insects such as gnats and mosquitoes. Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows and Northern Roughwinged Swallows have been observed feeding in the wetlands.

Bob Weaver, a noted local wildlife photographer and long-time bird watcher, has confirmed the presence of Cliff Swallows in the marsh area. This may be the first sighting of this species on Aquidneck Island.

While they prefer to nest on cliffs in igloo-shaped nests made of dried mud, this species is very adaptable. Cliff Swallows will also use barns, bridges, eaves and old buildings for nesting sites. The average adult is 5.5 inches long with a wingspan of about 13.5 inches. Adult plumage consists of a blue head with a white forehead, dusky throat color that wraps around to the back of the head, a bluish back stippled with white, white belly and a buff-orange rump. The best time to observe the various Swallow species is early morning or about two hours before, and continuing through sunset. These small birds are masters of the sky and their aerial ballets are well worth the trip to the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes, located on Hazard Road. in Newport.

Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast who enjoys sharing his experiences with others.

SENIOR SAVVY King Center Tips on Cooking for One

By Florence Archambault Research has shown that the way we eat has a bearing on how healthy we stay. However, seniors who find themselves living alone eventually face problems that interfere with their ability to eat well.

While financial or physical problems may occur, these eating problems in many cases are the result of loneliness or lack of desire to cook for oneself.

Seniors who suddenly find themselves living alone often find it difficult, particularly at mealtimes. They may have enjoyed cooking in the past, but now feel that there is no one to appreciate their cooking efforts.

Cooking for one can be a challenge, especially when ingredients are often packaged in large quantities. Who wants to buy a whole head of cauliflower or broccoli just to throw away what hasn’t been used?

You can be frugal and still eat interesting and nutritious meals by using small quantities of the vegetables, salads, meats, and cheeses found at supermarket salad bars.

That way, you can select quantities to serve one person, with no leftovers.

You might use the vegetables to make stir-fries. Or make an omelet using sauteéd small amounts of salad-bar vegetables and topped with some grated cheese. This

technique also works for a topping for pasta, or a stuffing for a pitabread sandwich.

Do you like macaroni and cheese? Purchase one of the macaroni salads, rinse and drain. Make a white sauce from 1 tablespoon margarine, 1 tablespoon of flour, and a half cup of milk. Add some diced ham and cubed cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted. Then add your macaroni from the salad bar.

A spaghetti sauce could consist of rinsed and drained seafood salad, with green pepper, onion, mushroom, and some diced fresh tomato sautéed along with some garlic and oregano in a little olive oil. Add the seafood and serve over pasta.

In an effort to aid those seniors who are cooking for one, the Edward King House Senior Center is offering a monthly program, “Cooking at the King House.” The classes are hosted by local chefs.

The first class, which was held in April, featured a delicious Chicken Primavera prepared by Chef Dana from Blenheim Newport.

The next class will be held on Tuesday, June 26 at the King House from 5-7 p.m. Here you can learn new techniques and talk about the challenges of cooking for one or two. Then you get to sit down with the chef and your new cooking buddies and enjoy a delicious meal. This makes for a lovely

evening out. You may feel free to bring a friend. The cost is $20 per person, which includes the meal.

You must pre-register so that the chef can prepare accordingly. Recipes will be provided, and all proceeds support the kitchen programs at the King House.

These classes are a prelude to the center’s “Senior Moments: Cooking at the King House” public access television show on Channel 18, to be aired soon locally. Eventually it will air state-wide.

If you don’t wish to cook for yourself, you can take advantage of the popular and delicious daily lunches provided by the staff of the King House. Served daily and prepared in-house the meals cost $3. You must make a reservation the day before. Take-out is also available. Dinners range in cost from $2.50, and soups are offered from $2. Box lunches are also available with advance notice for $3.50 – great for picnics, or just to have something in the house for the weekend.

And don’t forget to submit your recipes for the Edward King House cookbook. 150 to 200 are needed, yet they have only received 35 to date. Recipes cannot not be copied from a published cookbook.

Forms for submitting your recipe are available in the office.

Things are really cooking at the Edward King House Senior Center!

Bermuda Race Set to Sail Sailors from around the world will be converging on Newport this week as final preparations for the Newport-Bermuda Race are made.

The biannual event, which is due to start on Friday, June 15, is expected to draw scores of spectators to the shore of Castle Hill.

The 635-mile ocean race usually lasts anywhere from three to six days, depending on the type of boat, skill of the captain, and force of the wind.

Well over 150 boats across five divisions are scheduled to compete in this year’s race, including George David’s custom Rambler 90, Hap Fauth’s newest 72-foot mini maxi, Bella Mente, and the tall ship Spirit of Bermuda.

This year marks the 112th anniversary of the race’s founding, which began as an act of defiance.

As in races past, participants owe thanks to Thomas Fleming Day, the editor of The Rudder magazine, who in 1906, broke with sailing’s elite and declared that ocean racing could be enjoyed safely by amateurs.

The Brooklyn Yacht Club was the first to host the race, which was run from New York to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club off St. David’s Head.

The race moved to Newport in 1936, where Fleming Day’s Thrash to the Onion Patch has since grown into one of the world’s most anticipated and storied ocean races.
