City Restructures Planning Department By Tom Shevlin
Providence in Newport
Participating in the Ocean State Tall Ships celebration in Newport this week is the 110-foot tall ship Providence. The ship is a replica of the first ship commissioned into the Continental Navy, John Paul Jones’ first command. During its Naval career, the original Providence sank or captured 40 British enemy ships. The replica was built in 1975 in Portsmouth for the bicentennial Tall Ships celebration of 1976. The Providence is the official flagship and tall ship ambassador for the state of Rhode Island. For a Tall Ships schedule of events, see page 14. (Photo by Onne van der Wal)

In an effort to boost Newport's economic development, City Manager Jane Howington on Monday, July 2 announced changes to the city's Office of Planning and Development. The move comes a year after the office – formerly known as the Department of Planning, Development, Zoning, and Inspections – was reorganized to spin off zoning, historic district preservation planning and building functions into a separate department. This week’s change marks Howington's first structural realignment of the city's staff since she came on the job in January. Most notable is the elimination of the position of Director of Planning. That post, which for the last 10 years has been held by Paige Bronk,

An open appeal went out June 10 on Twitter that the volunteer organization called Newport In Bloom “could use a few good men…and women” to help unload the truck and hang baskets on the lampposts on Washington Square. Celebrating 30 years since its founding in 1982 by Ineko Stephan and Jean West, Newport In Bloom now uses a different mode of communicating, but the message is the same: “To help beautify the city and create community by encouraging residents to get outside, meet their neighbors and beautify their homes through the planting and display of flowers.” Residents and visitors have come to look forward to Newport In Bloom’s annual display of hanging baskets along Bellevue Avenue. This year, for the first time, 16 lampposts on Washington Square and Touro Street display 32 flower baskets. Funds for the project have come from businesses, offices, non-profits and individuals in the spirit of coming together as a community to improve Newport’s historic town center. A sub-committee of the Washington Square Advisory Commission headed by Kathy Staab of the Jane Pickens Theatre and David Leys, representative for Bank Newport, raised more than $6,000 in order to purchase the flowers and baskets and provide for their maintenance through the season. Lilly Dick, chair of the Washington Square Advisory Commission, said, “The effort and generosity of

decorated.” The new baskets nearly double the scope of the project, but she and her team of sleuth volunteers tending the blooms and watering the baskets in the predawn hours say they are undaunted by the scale of the task. For more information about Newport in Bloom, visit www.newportinbloom.org.
At its regular meeting on Monday, July 2, the Middletown Town Council voted to remove the Second Beach Pavilion bond question from the Nov. 6, 2012 General Election ballot. “Over the past few weeks, as we listened to members of the town, we decided that we need to slow down a little bit and do some more local focus before this actually goes on to the voters,” said town administrator Shawn Brown, who added that the tough economy, as well as the physical impact of the proposed design on the environment, were the two over-riding concerns that lead to the decision. The council has not written off the issue of a new pavilion, he said; they want to see a more appropriate plan than the proposed $6 million project that was brought before them on June 18. “There’s already been a significant investment in this project,” Brown said, before proposing to the council that they consider putting together an advisory committee to consider renovating or replacing the current building, and then present their findings to the public to see what residents would like to have at Second Beach.

Kite Festival Takes Flight By Meg O’Neil Brenton Point State Park on Ocean Drive is well known as one of the top places to watch the sunset in Newport. On any given day at this time of year, you can find couples and families taking in the different hues of reds, pinks and oranges that fill the summer sky as the sun dips below the horizon. But on the weekend of July 14-15, visitors to the park will behold a completely different set of colors in the sky when the Newport Kite Festival returns for its 22nd year. The man behind the festival is Ron Kitt, owner of Kitt Kites on lower Thames Street. Kitt assumed control of the popular Kite Festival in 2009, and since then, has turned it into one of the most popular free events in Newport. The event regularly attracts hundreds of kite enthusiasts from all over the world, who are drawn to the park's steady, cooling sea breeze to lift their crafts into the sky. Born in Brooklyn, Kitt says that life in New York wasn’t exactly prime for kite-flying. Rather, it was during the summertime when his family would travel to Cape Cod that Kitt’s appreciation for kites first took shape. “I remember going out to Martha’s Vineyard, and I bought a kite that didn’t fly well, but from that moment, I was hooked," he recalls. "Ever since then, I’ve been flying kites as much as I can.” Growing up in the early ’90s, Kitt
was part of the video-game era, and spent much of his time glued to the TV screen. “My mom was always pushing me to go outside and enjoy the outdoors, and since I found kites, I’m now pushing my kids to play outside. We come out to Brenton Point every weekend, and it’s like a paradise.” This year, the City Council has been more supportive of the festival than in the past, Kitt says. “I think once they found out that we were a local business, they were more supportive. I’m not someone who just swoops into Newport to suck up the resources over the weekend; I have a year-round business here.” Kitt also points out that the festival has a positive economic impact on the city, despite being a free event. “Families who come out to the festival will pay for a hotel, come out here for a free event during the day, and then return in to town to spend money on dinner in our restaurants,” he said. For Kitt, it’s more than just a festival, for him, it’s about offering an
Kites come in all shapes and sizes. (Photos courtesy of Kitt Kites) opportunity for families to enjoy something together: “This is what young families need – something free like this, especially in these rough times. It’s great to go someplace and not have to spend a lot of money.” Vendors will be selling kites, Del’s Lemonade, and hotdogs as part of the festival, but people can bring their own kites and their own coolers of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Since its heyday in the mid-’80s, the Kite Festival has had its ups and downs, but Kitt is determined to return the festival to its former glory. “Kite-flying is kind of a dying sport,” he says, “We’re trying to bring it back, and people love it.” The event runs from noon – 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and will feature demonstrations, games, stunt kites, candy drops, moonbounces, and more.

Council Passes Budget By Tom Shevlin
By Tom Shevlin Clarendon Court, the landmark Bellevue Avenue estate formerly owned by Sunny von Bulow, is under contract for sale. Paul Leys, the listing agent for the property, confirmed that a buyer has been found for the property and that a closing is expected sometime this month. While Leys wouldn't disclose any details about the purchase price or the prospective buyer, the house was originally listed for sale at $15.8 million. Designed by noted architect Horace Trumbauer, Clarendon Court was built in 1904 for for Pennsylvania Railroad executive Edward C. Knight who originally named the house Claradon Court after his wife Clara. The name of home was eventually changed to the more familiar Clarendon Court by former owner Claus von Bulow, who became the subject of international notoriety when his wife, Sunny, slipped into a coma at the house during a Christmas party in 1980. Ultimately acquitted of any wrongdoing, von Bulow was named as a prime suspect in the incident, setting off a media frenzy which culminated in a pair of criminal trials and a Hollywood movie starring Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close. Clarendon Court was one of a trio of Bellevue Avenue homes, along with The Elms and Miramar, designed by Trumbauer. According to Leys, once the deal is finalized, it should provide a significant boost to the island's luxury real estate market. In May, Lila Delman Real Estate brokered the $5.4 million sale of the Bluebird Cottage overlooking King Park. At the time, it was the highest-priced residential real estate transaction of the year in the entire state, and the highest-priced sale in Newport since 2010. Depending on the purchase price, the Clarendon sale could well exceed that.
Bronk's departure leaves the planning department with just two employees. "I just felt like we needed to downsize the department," Howington said. Indeed, in approving their FY2012-13 budget late last month, City Council members opened the door to eliminating Bronk's position by voting to include $138,000 for the position of "Economic Developer." While Howington said that she hasn't yet decided if that line item should be dedicated to one position or be set aside for per-project contractors, she said that the funds will be used at some point during the current fiscal year.

Depending on the outcome of that search, Bronk will either be reassigned or given a severance package in accordance with his years of service. A veteran city planner responsible for spearheading a number of large-scale redevelopment projects, Bronk has left a lasting mark on the city. Among the projects he oversaw were the development of the CCRI Newport campus; the construction of the Newport Storm brewery and new East Bay Community Action Program headquarters; planning for the long-awaited Broadway streetscape improvement plan and the Newport Maritime Center; and the conversion of the Lenthal and Carey schools.

PLANNING CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 will be replaced by a new position, that of Economic Developer. According to Howington, her decision wasn't a reflection on Bronk's performance, but was a strategic pivot meant to better position Newport to take advantage of future economic development opportunities. "Paige has been a really good employee and has given many years of service to the city," Howington said. "It's really a matter of changing priorities." Bronk was placed on paid leave at the end of last week, and according to Howington will be considered as part of an applicant pool for a current vacancy in another department.

After three months of budget hearings and deliberations, the City Council on Wednesday, June 27 voted to finalize Newport's FY201213 budget. The budget, which went into effect July 1, calls for a 2.5 percent tax increase, level funding of the city's schools, and no increase to the motor vehicle tax. The proposal also recommends that the city transfer the beach and parking funds back into the city's general operating scheme. According to the administration, rolling the enterprise funds back into the general fund will not change the practice of treating the operations at the beach or within the parking division as separate activities, but it will bring back to the council an ability to manage them. It also should provide a "sustainability" to the beach while at the same time eliminating the practice of subsidizing other funds through the parking fund. "Incorporating these changes has enabled the staff to present a balanced budget proposal to the council which has minimized the tax levy increase," Howington wrote in a message to councilors in April. Under the plan, property owners would see a tax increase of 2.50 percent – far below the maximum 4 percent allowed under Rhode Island law. In all, the city's proposed combined expenditures amount to just over $115,700,000 – a more than 15 percent decrease from last year due primarily to the removal of capital spending attributed to the city's $30 million Claiborne deB. Pell Elementary School project. And while overall spending will decrease by roughly $20 million, general fund expenditures actually increase from $81,407,687 to $83,415,150 – or 2.47 percent. That's the same percentage increase that was proposed for FY2011-2012 budget, and is below current non-commodity inflationary trends. Taxpayers can expect to see their property taxes, as equalized from
the recent revaluation, rise to $11.10 per $1,000 in assessed value for residential property and $15.38 per $1,000 for commercial property. The car tax, meanwhile, would remain unchanged at $23.45 per $1,000 in assessed value, with vehicles worth less than $6,000 exempt. It's also worth noting that funding commitments to the city's Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) program will continue to be met in full. Stimulative initiatives were also factored into the proposal, including increased economic development programs, improved communication systems, expansion and deployment of technology, and a general review of the sustainability of the city's various enterprise funds. Under state law, property taxes can be raised by a maximum of 4 percent, or in dollar figures, an additional $2.5 million. Of particular significance is the change from firefighting personnel to civilian positions in the Fire Department's dispatch operations. Capital costs and equipment replacement have also been reviewed, and Howington notes a decrease in some proposed capital improvements projects will also help realize additional savings. The biggest change, if only structurally, comes in the form of the aforementioned enterprise funds. Initially created to be self-sustaining, their operations have in recent years been used as both a source and a depository for onetime revenue transfers. Given their mixed results, and the implications it would have on the bottom line, councilors could well be receptive to the idea of rolling the beach and parking funds back into the general revenue stream. Among the assumptions guiding the 440-plus page document: • The housing market will continue to struggle, resulting in continued low revenues for the realty conveyance tax and recording fees • A slowly improving economy will result in higher meals and hotel tax revenue

For What It’s Worth

For more information contact Newport Recreation at 845-5800.
Dear For What It’s Worth: My uncle passed away earlier this year, and he liked good wine. We found several dozen good bottles of French and American wine in his pantry. Most are red. I don’t really drink wine. How do I find out the value and where can I sell them? – Curious. Dear Curious: There are auction houses that offer fine vintage wine sales several times a year, but most sell lots of 6 bottles to a full case of better vintages. You can spend time online researching each bottle through shops that offer Internet sales. Sending a list of the wines to auction houses might get a response; you must be specific with name, year and how the wine was stored (cool temp. is better for vintage wines). If your uncle left the price tags on the bottles, you would at least know what he paid for the bottles. Your other alternative is to find a private buyer for the collection. — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques (The Drawing Room offers free appraisals by appointment.

EDITORIAL Kudos All Around
N
ewport was once again at the epicenter of the world's sailing scene last week, as the America's Cup World Series brought its traveling road show to what we believe to be the world's premier sailing grounds. It was a happy departure from the kind of national attention Rhode Island has been getting of late, which has relentlessly focused on our economic woes. To say that the event was a success would be an understatement. Regardless of the final economic numbers, the exercise of preparing for, and hosting, one of the world's most high-profile regattas will be invaluable to the city's future efforts to attract other world-class events. But it didn't just happen on its own. Immense credit needs to be given to Sail Newport's Brad Read, whose tireless efforts on behalf of the Governor's America's Cup Host Committee were nothing short of Herculean. Paul Harden, of the oft-beleaguered Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, also deserves recognition. His team, which became regular fixtures in Newport over the last year, were integral to ensuring that the regatta was truly a statewide affair. And Susan Mafei Plowden, a Jamestown resident who has been part of Newport's sailing community for the last 30 years, once again proved that some of the sport's top talent call Rhode Island their home. Her work, which too often must have felt thankless, was the event's most critical. Of course, there were many more: Donna Kelly, who helmed the wildly popular Exploration Zone, was inspiring. Jane Howington, Newport's new city manager, did a yeoman's job at coordinating the city's traffic management. Martha Parker, of Team One Newport, and Jodi Sullivan of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce were among the leading ladies who ensured that the state came away looking as good as we like to see it. Evan Smith of Discover Newport more than amply fulfilled his role as one of the city's leading ambassadors, serving as a steady presence during the run-up to the event, even while questions swirled over the format, Joe Dias and the state Department of Environmental Management should also be given credit for fast-tracking long-needed improvements to Fort Adams. Even long after the race village is broken down, the upgrades to the park's electrical utilities and shoreside amenities will remain, enticing future events to the park that might otherwise have chosen a larger, more metropolitan facility. Newporters should also be proud to count Sailors for the Sea, the official sustainability partner of the America's Cup, among the local organizations whose connection to the Cup will continue beyond last week. More than anything, what this event showed was the best of us. While our state's unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, the ACWS allowed us to play to our strengths. The marine trades, yachting community, and tourism industry have all proven their worth. We have talent here. Perhaps someone on Smith Hill will see that talent for what it is and ask, "What more can we, as a state, be doing to help encourage more investment in these sectors?" It might just help ensure that we remain in the spotlight for all of the right reasons for a change.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR School Quality Trumps Bars To the Editor: First and foremost, I try to read your paper weekly. Keep up your good work. I have a disagreement with your recent editorial entitled “A Precarious Balance” dated June 28, 2012. Trying to tie a recent permitting effort to expand the lively bar and entertainment scene in Newport to decreased numbers of families living in Newport is sloppy and irresponsible editorial commentary at best. There is absolutely no substantiating cause and effect established. I suspect, however, if you do qualitative and indepth studies of the families that left Newport and/or chose other Rhode Island towns to live in (by interviewing them directly "why did you leave/not choose Newport?") rather than rely on subjective opinionating, you may be surprised to find the comparative quality of the Newport school system compared to other Aquidneck Island towns or other factors would have a greater impact on a family's decision to leave or not put roots in Newport rather than what happens in a small commercially zoned district in a city of 11.5 square miles.

Schilling Should Pay To the Editor; I am so fed up with Curt Schilling playing the blame game with his 38 Studios video game company. He should stop blaming Gov. Lincon Chafee when it is he who is to blame. The state of R.I is investigating Schilling, and if the state finds that he did something wrong, I hope they say he has done something wrong. He has to pay back the $75 million he lost costing tax payers in this state if he does not pay. I hope he is put in jail. And they do not care that he pitched for the Red Sox and they don’t care about his stupid bloody sock from when he won the American League Pennant and World Series with the Red Sox. Schilling is to blame, not the Governor. Joe Tremblay Newport
Toll Lanes Need Better Signage To the Editor: I have commuted from Newport to my teaching job in Warwick over the Pell Bridge since 2005 and I use an EZ Pass transponder to pay for the tolls. During the past school year, I closely followed the construction of the new “no-stop” lane for EZ Pass users. I read in the news somewhere that the construction cost over $4.5 million, a large portion of which was to pay for a tunnel so workers could safely cross under the road to get to the regular toll booths from their office. From the beginning of this project I felt uneasy about the outcome and now that the configuration of lanes is final, I am of the opinion there is a severe safety-related flaw in its design. Specifically, I believe there is not enough notice given in either direction for drivers to have adequate time to safely maneuver to the correct lane for passing through the toll. I mentioned this concern many times to workers as I drove through the tolls while the new configuration was under construction. I fear there will be numerous accidents caused by drivers who decide too late to either get into the single, no-stop lane, or to get out of the no-stop lane. In fact, on my very first passage across the bridge from Jamestown back
to Newport with the new system in operation, this exact thing happened. A driver narrowly crossed two lanes to get into the no-stop lane, right before the barrier and inches in front of the car in which I was a passenger, nearly causing an accident at 40 mph. I can only imagine this sort of thing must now be happening day and night in both directions. Unfortunately, no one in NY, NJ, PA, CT, or anywhere else who'll be visiting Newport this year knows about the new system. When they get to the bridge they'll be surprised at the last minute, and I fear some will crash before or after their visit to Newport. Hopefully there will be no fatalities or severe injuries. The obvious fix for this would be to provide directional signage much earlier, thus funneling the lanes farther from the toll in both directions, though possibly causing a traffic backup. I regret my pessimism about the project, but I fear another RI economic disaster is in the making, due to possible lawsuits on behalf of drivers and/or passengers injured in accidents due to this new safety hazard, the responsibility of the Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority.

10th Anniversay for Clagett Regatta The 2012 C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta, from July 6-9 at Sail Newport, will mark the 10th anniversary of this remarkable event for sailors with disabilities. From its start as an event for a single class of boat, The Clagett has evolved over the years to include all three boats which have been chosen for Paralympic competition but also has become widely respected as North America’s premier event for sailors with disabilities. Racing will take place Saturday through Monday, July 7-9 in the Sonar, SKUD-18 and 2.4 Metre classes. A grant from the Rhode Island Foundation, is the latest milestone in the decade-long life of the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clin-
ic and Regatta. The grant provides funding for the 2012 event, which is being used for athlete prep prior to the 2012 Paralympic Regatta which takes place the first week of September in Weymouth, England. Organizers will also run a safety seminar for race committee members and other on-the-water volunteers which will address the types of issues first responders might encounter when coming to the assistance of a person with disabilities. The seminar will be held under the regatta tent starting at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 6, and there is no fee to attend. To register or obtain additional information, call 846-4470 or email cmr@clagettregatta.org.
July 5, 2012 Newport This Week Page 7
Puma Finishes VOR in Third Place Drifting somewhere off the coast of Africa, their mast broken and hopes for a quick start dashed, it's hard to imagine that Puma Ocean Racing's and Newport resident Ken Read would have thought that his team would be standing on the podium at the end of the round-theworld Volvo Ocean Race. But that's exactly what happened this week in Galway, Ireland, as Read's crew secured third place overall in the 2011-12 race. How they managed to come so far will surely be fodder for the history books. As the race organizers recount, the American crew’s campaign was dealt a cruel blow midway through the first leg from Alicante, Spain, to Cape Town, South Africa, when their mast broke but they refused to let it affect them, bouncing back to not only re-join racing but notch up 15 podium finishes in 18 scoring opportunities along the way. And although they’ve been cooped up in a 70ft carbon shell for the majority of the race, Read said he wouldn’t swap any one of his crew, who have become best mates through the epic 39,000mile race. “I wouldn’t trade my 10 guys for anyone in the world,” Read said. “The best part about it is we’re all really good friends and that’s really hard to do after going round the world. “There’s plenty of times when things can get a little testy and this crew didn’t allow that to happen. “They’re 10 great people that I’ll do anything with and I owe everything to at this stage. They’re good friends and that’s what’s most important.” PUMA narrowly missed out on second overall with their Leg 9 lead snatched by CAMPER within four hours of the finish after they sailed into a wind hole off the

Read said it was typical of the luck they’ve had at crucial moments of the Volvo Ocean Race – but concluded that settling for third in such a talent-strewn field of sailors wasn’t all that bad. “We’re kinda the hard luck kids – we get a nice little lead, park and wait for everyone to catch up,” he said. “It’s happened so many times in this event. Never in my life have I ever witnessed anything like that. “That said, we give all the credit in the world to CAMPER and to Groupama. You are what you are at the end of the day, and we’re going to end up third overall. “I guess that’s pretty good seeing as we were sitting in the middle of the ocean without a mast not
too long ago. We have something to be proud of for that.” Ever the gentleman, Read also had nothing but kind words for French rivals Groupama sailing team, whose second-place secured them overall victory. “They’re fast, they’re smart, and that’s a deadly combination,” he added. “I give them so much credit because they started this event pretty far behind the eight-ball especially in light air. “They made up ground in several of their weak areas like I’ve never seen another sailboat team do before. “I’ve gotten to know a lot of these guys, I really like them as people, as competitors, and I give them all the congratulations in the world – they deserve it
America's Cup Exceeds Expectations With three straight days of sold out crowds and picture-perfect weather, roughly 60,000 people crowded into Newport's historic Fort Adams to take in the America's Cup World Series last week. The attendance, which exceeded organizers' estimates of roughly 50,000, was bolstered by crowds who lined the shoreline in Jamestown and even more who turned out to watch the action from the water. While state officials are currently awaiting an independent economic impact report to be completed to determine what kind of effect the event had on the local economy, many restaurants, retailers, and hotels reported a busier than average stretch of business. Whether the regatta proves as lucrative as the estimated $70 million in economic activity initially projected by state economic development officials remains to be seen. However, NBC, which aired Sunday's racing live, reported a viewership of around 1.1 million people. That, say tourism officials, could prove as lasting an impact as any. On the water, as event organizers noted, Newport proved to be a "statement event" for the US Defender as Oracle Team USA dominated the leaderboard. Most notable was skipper Jimmy Spithill’s performance, who won both the 2011-12 AC World Series Championship and the overall season Fleet Racing Championship. Sweden’s Artemis Racing, which was crewed by a number of Aquidneck Island residents, won the inaugural season’s Match Racing Championship. “Consistency had been the
key,” Spithill said moments before he was handed the newly commissioned AC World Series trophy. “We were the last team to arrive here, but we came out and performed under pressure. For us it was very satisfying to see us step up and the other guys fall back when the pressure came on.” His veteran stablemate very nearly stole the day in front of a capacity crowd of spectators at Fort Adams. Russell Coutts won the Newport Match Racing Championship over Spithill and almost took out the fleet race as well, but was denied that honor by Chris Draper’s Luna Rossa Piranha team, who took advantage of a penalty to the Coutts team to grab a lead they would extend to the finish, to grab the Newport Fleet Racing Championship. Coutts was under intense pressure in the latter stages of the race from the Italian Swordfish team, but just held on for second place. “ Today just happened to work out for us. We got some nice breaks, but I wouldn’t give us too much credit for it,” Coutts said. “As a team, we’re really happy. Jimmy and his guys won the World Series and that’s what we came here to do… We’re always out there to win, we’re not there to just sail around the buoys - we want to win.” Terry Hutchinson’s Artemis Racing placed fourth in the Newport Match Racing Championship, which earned his team enough points to win the Match Racing title for the season. “It’s a nice milestone for the team,” Hutchinson said, his mood tempered somewhat by a poor fleet race on Sunday. “But I think we have a lot of work to do. There are a lot of areas
we can do better. But we have 14 months to do it and we’re looking forward to the challenge.” The Newport event marks the end of the first season of AC World Series racing and follows previous events in Cascais (POR), Plymouth (UK), San Diego (USA), Naples and Venice (ITA). Regatta Director Iain Murray and his team have conducted 130 races over 30 days of racing in the six international venues. Over that time, only one day of races has been postponed due to weather. Sunday’s racing was broadcast live, coast to coast, in the USA on NBC, marking the return of the Cup to network television for the first time in more than 20 years. The final day of racing in the opening two events of the 2012-13 AC World Series in San Francisco in August and October will likewise be shown on NBC. Racing will start anew next month with the 2012-13 AC World Series in San Francisco from August 21-26. The new Ben Ainslie Racing will join the circuit as it comes to the host city of the 34th America’s Cup. 2011-12 AC World Series Overall Championship Leaderboard (Team, Match Racing Points, Fleet Racing Points, Total Points) 1.

PAVILION CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Council member Christopher Semonelli was in favor of removing the question from the ballot, despite his desire to let the public decide the issue. “Personally, I’d like to see it as a referendum, but it’s probably not the time. The way it’s packaged is inappropriate,” Semonelli said. “(But) it doesn’t make sense to throw the baby out with the bath water. Over $100,000 has already gone into this project. Something needs to be done, but perhaps the design needs to be downsized.” Also at the meeting, the council listened to a presentation from Lori Verderosa of the Middletown Substance Abuse Task Force, who reported that Middletown’s 30-day teen drinking rates are higher than the state average. Drawing from a number of surveys, she said that 41% of Middletown High School
students had reported alcohol use in the period, compared to 34% statewide. In 2010, the task force was awarded a five-year federal grant to help reduce the use of alcohol and marijuana in Middletown. One of the stipulations of the grant is that every three years, the group must update their community needs assessment. According to the surveys, many parents are facilitating the underage drinking in their homes, and the task force is seeking ways discourage this practice by teaming up with high school sports and other groups, and through a video made with the help of Salve Regina University students depicting an underage drinking party in a home where the parent is caught in the act.
Verderosa, along with other members of the task force and Middletown police chief Anthony Pesare, were at the meeting speaking in favor of Middletown’s Social Host Ordinance. “We’ve found the social host ordinance to be an invaluable tool in our efforts to combat underage drinking,” Pesare said. “The success of this ordinance lies in its ability to hold adults responsible for the actions of juveniles consuming alcoholic beverages.” Violations of the ordinance can result in fines up to $1,000, and mandatory attendance in an alcohol educational intervention program. In the two years since its inception, twelve citations have been issued to individuals under the ordinance, said Pesare.

My two preschool-age girls and I wanted an adventure. We wanted to play the role of tourists and explore one of the many jewels Rhode Island has to offer. So, we made plans to have a picnic at Blithewold mansion in Bristol, first stopping at the Middletown farmers market to fill our picnic basket with fresh local bread, cheese and strawberries. Upon arriving at the Blithewold visitor center, we were provided with a “discovery map,� that included historical facts related to the estate that served as clues. If we completed the scavenger hunt, then we would win a small prize. Acting as detectives, we used our map to discover the many treasures of the mansion, gardens and arboretum. This summer’s special exhibit, “Summertime on the Bay,� highlights the various summer activities, such as canoeing, sailing, swimming, playing old-fashioned games like hula hoop, croquet and checkers, that were enjoyed by the Van Wickle family dating back to 1894 when they first bought the property. Tree Callanan, director of communications at Blithewold, explains, “If you look at the photographs, you’ll see that Blithewold has always encouraged family fun. They show the Van Wickle family and their extended family enjoying the summer activities on the Bay and just frolicking around the estate. Most of our events here are family oriented even today.� On our tour of the 45-room English-style manor house, we saw an assortment of family heirlooms from romantic to practical. Our favorite room was the nursery, where there is an exquisite display of dolls that attracted the attention of both girls. The house is manageable for a family to tour without feeling overwhelmed. Grand-daughter of the Van Wickles, Marjorie Jeffries, once aptly described her experience growing up at Blithewold: “No child could leave without learning.� Upon completing our tour of the mansion, we ventured out on our nature walk through the 33-acre property. As if in a fairy tale, we followed the brick path flanked by a vast array of flowers to arrive at the Bamboo Grove. The girls and I loved feeling engulfed by the tall bamboo, hearing squirrels jump from tree to tree high above our heads. Next, we headed for the Giant Sequoia, the largest of the species east of the Mississippi River. We were dwarfed by this great 85-foot tree. Checking our map, we headed next for the Display Gardens, where we unexpectedly came across a rustic checkerboard carved out of a tree that had been made into a bench. The checkers, which were placed on a board carved into the bench, had been made from sliced and painted discs cut from
a branch. As you can imagine, we stayed quite a while playing checkers and building towers in the tranquility of this manicured setting. Moving on, we arrived at the Water Garden, hearing a chorus of frogs croaking and seeing them leap from lotus pads. After circling the pond, we headed across the lawn toward Narragansett Bay, along the way spotting a cottontail rabbit happily nibbling on a patch of grass. Soon we found a couple of chairs bridged by a wooden table, overlooking the bay, and just right for our picnic. We feasted on our bread, cheese and strawberries, while being entertained by the antics of two geese. Our bellies full, we packed our leftovers and traversed the 10-acre Great Lawn heading back to the car. We had been so overcome by the beauty of the estate and our various wildlife encounters that we hadn’t completed our scavenger hunt! We’ll be back, though, ready to show all that we’ve learned about the history of the Van Wickle family at Blithewold. Blithewold has much to offer families, such as Family Fun Fridays from July 6 through Aug. 24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Each week, there will be a family-friendly activity which will include a variety of live educational and interactive musical performances by local and regional musicians and artists, followed by a craft project, face painting, picnicking and pizza from Leo’s Ristorante in Bristol. Also, summer camps are offered for children in grades K-4. The camps feature arts and crafts, science, games, beach exploration, hiking through gardens and grounds, nature exploration, music and dancing. There is a different themed camp every week, such as Magical Mystical Week, Picasso’s Week, and Explorer’s Week that will appeal to just about any child. Families are also welcome to celebrate summer at Blithewold’s Music at Sunset performances. Pack a sunset picnic and enjoy the breeze
coming off the bay as you listen to a musical performance such as reggae, blues or jazz. Fortunately, Blithewold has not changed much since the days of the Van Wickles. As Bessie Van Wickle McKee poetically described Blithewold in 1910: “Everywhere nature’s bounteous gifts have served under man’s skillful guidance to create an estate in which new beauties are constantly revealed and the perfect accord between architecture and grounds is ever apparent.� For more information about Blithewold programs and events, call 253-2707, or visit blithewold. org online.
Rhody Ramble Introducing your kids to the rich history of Rhode Island is a fun way to engage them over the summer, and there’s no better way than to join the Rhody Ramble. The Rhody Ramble is a Historic Sites Coalition program for kids ages 5-12 which includes 18 of Rhode Island’s historic landmarks. The colorful mascot Rhody the Rambler (based on a heritage breed, the Rhode Island Red Rooster) can be spotted at each of the historic sites, including waterfront mansions (like Blithewold), working farms, a windmill and even a jail. The Rhody Ramble brochure works like a passport with kids collecting stickers and finding roosters at each place they visit. By visiting three or more sites, you become eligible to win prizes. The summer’s calendar of events includes outdoor festivals, music concerts, scavenger hunts, and hands-on activities, all of which are affordable and fun for families. To learn more about the Rhody Ramble and to get your brochure, go online to rhodyramble.org, or go to the Gateway Visitor Center on America’s Cup Avenue in Newport.

Cold Soups for Hot Summer Days By Cynthia Gibson What is growing in the garden that is ready to harvest? Peas, lettuce, herbs, and early cucumbers are in! A magical mix of herbs and cucumbers can become the most delicious “cool cucumber” soup. This soup pampers your guests. Not only is it an elegant summer soup, it is easy to make for a dinner party, or for you! Fresh peas also make a most divine chilled soup. Crisp, crunchy, fresh-shelled peas have a true spring /summer taste. When blended into homemade chicken stock and fresh cream it becomes a soup that the French would call ‘magnifique’! Cold lettuce soup lacks the crunch factor of chilled pea and cucumber soup, but it is oh so creamy and sinfully delish. We have to wait one more month for early potatoes, and then you can indulge in making and eating vichyssoise. There is no question that this famous concoction is the grand dame of cold soups! The folk tale surrounding the invention of vichyssoise is quite funny. Louis XVI of France was a most paranoid king. He would have at least ten to twelve royal tasters at his dining table every day. One of his favorite potages was Leek and Potato soup. By the time the soup came to his end of the table, it was chilled. Such myths aside, the real story of the invention of vichyssoise is that it comes from a chef at the Ritz Carlton in New York, who used to add cool milk to his mother’s original recipe. The farmers’ markets are open for business, and they sell the fresh ingredients you need for your soups. When tomatoes start ripening next month, you will be able to add gazpacho to your summer repertoire of chilled soups.
Fresh Cold Pea Soup a la Inde
Serves 4-6 This recipe is similar to a lovely Senegalese, without the chicken and without turning on the stove. A stove-less soup in the middle of summer is a dream come true. Ingredients: Note: Should you not be able to find two cups of freshly shelled peas in the supermarket or farmers’ market, you can use one 10-ounce package of frozen peas. 1½ cups fresh peas or one package of frozen peas (do not defrost the peas) 2/3 cup chicken Chicken stock or chicken broth Chopped chives for garnish (do not place chives in the blender) Directions: Place all ingredients except the chives in a blender or food processor and puree. The frozen peas will quickly defrost, which is fine. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives, and serve in clear glass bowls. By the time the bowls of soup get to the table, the peas will have defrosted. The taste is so good, you will need to make a double batch.
Cold Cream of Lettuce Soup
Serves 4 Romaine lettuce is the best lettuce to use for this soup. No longer is lettuce just for making a salad. This soup is the most refreshing of all cold soups and so easy to prepare. This soup is best consumed on the day it is made. It is a perfect soup for a summer luncheon. It is best to double the ingredients and make the soup for eight. You will not disappoint with this recipe! Ingredients: 1 large yellow Spanish onion coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons of butter 3 large heads of romaine lettuce, shredded 2 cups homemade chicken stock (Chicken broth may be substituted but the soup will not be as flavorful.) 1 cup of cream or half-and-half Garnishes are optional. Save a bit of the shredded lettuce to place on top of the chilled soup. Finely chopped chives make an excellent garnish, as do croutons tossed in Parmesan cheese. Directions: Place the butter and onion in a large frying pan and cook over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent. Add the lettuce and continue cooking for five to seven minutes or until the lettuce is wilted. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and cook for five minutes. Take the mixture off the heat and let cool for 15 minutes. Place the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree. Take care when placing hot liquids in your processor or blender, as the heat can make the mixture overflow. Blend in small batches. Add the cream or half-and-half, salt and pepper to taste, and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours. Should the soup be too thick for your liking, add more stock. Garnish with shredded romaine lettuce or a garnish of your choice. This soup is a light pastel green and so soothing for a hot summer’s day. Cold soups are a great addition to picnics or dinner parties. Be cool this summer, and take the heat out of the kitchen with cold soups.
Cold Cucumber Soup
Serves 4-6 Any cucumber will do, but farm fresh cucumbers always have more taste than supermarket cukes. This soup is a snap to make, and like most cold soups, it will taste better the next day, so make it a day in advance. Cooking the night before on very warm days is a pleasure anyway. Ingredients: 3 medium cucumbers, peeled, chopped, and seeded. (Save four to six cucumber slices for garnish) 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup plain yogurt 2/3 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon dried mustard 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 cup mint leaves Directions: After you have sliced and set aside your extra cucumber slices, peel, slice, seed and chop the rest. Place the chopped cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt, mix well and let sit for one half hour. This will remove the excess water in the cucumber without disturbing its taste or crunch. Next, rinse the cukes in water to wash off the salt and pat dry. Place all of the ingredients into your food processor or blender and give it a go! Salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the refrigerator overnight and serve the next day with your cucumber slices floating on top of the soup.

Do you vote for a candidate that you know, or for your party? It seems like a lot of Republicans attended a fundraiser last Friday night on Price’s Neck for Democrat U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who is running for re-election. But not to worry – Whitehouse and his wife Sandra are from these parts and are well-liked, and research shows that people vote and give money to the candidate that they like the best. The Whitehouses, as well as Republican rival Barry Hinckley of boat fame, also attended the International Seakeepers Society dinner on Sunday night. “We have a small but distinguished membership who cares about the problems plaguing our seas,” Michael Moore, chairman of the board, told a very illustrious crowd at the New York Yacht Club. He talked about the Seakeepers’ newest initiative, “The Scientific Vessel of Opportunity Program,” a project uniting scientists and yacht owners willing to donate their time aboard their yachts to advance ocean science. Bruno Trouble, skipper and mastermind of the Louis Vuitton Cup, told funny stories about the America’s Cup and about his sister, the designer Agnès B., who is receiving the Seakeepers Award this year for her work in restoring the health of the oceans. Fashion was in full swing on Friday night, with hundreds of people visiting shops to support Child & Family Services. Laura Jean denim shop was jumping with people trying on her hot-colored skinny jeans in every imaginable style: Slim, straight, flare, waist, hip. The shop also has great shorts in every length and a tailor on-site to make sure that everything fits to perfection. Hope you had a happy July 4 holiday. Next weekend, the beautiful tall ship from Philadelphia arrives, the turn-of-the-century barquentine, “Gazela Primeiro,” giving us a preview of how our very own Rhode Island tall ship, Oliver Hazard Perry, will appear on the Newport waterfront after its commissioning next summer!

An Evening of Art and Inspiration The fashions showcased by the six designers at Child & Family’s Runway Show at Ochre Court were “too marvelous for words.” Those who attended had the opportunity to see some of the hottest up-and-coming fashion designs before they debut at Styleweek Northeast in August. Mary Ambrogi and Colleen Medeiros, co-chairs, orchestrated a stunning event; from the pre-cocktail party right through the dancing at end of the evening. This is the second year the local organization partnered with the dynamic fashion group. Photos by Jen Carter

Picton Castle First built as a fishing trawler in Wales, the Picton Castle has worked as a minesweeper during WWII and a freighter in the north and Baltic seas. It was later converted into a squarerigged barque by Capt. Moreland, and acted as a schoolroom while serving as flagship for OCEAN98 and the South Pacific Region Environment Program distributing school supplies throughout the South Pacific. The barque is 179 feet overall, with clear oiled-pine decks, steel masts, and wooden and steel yards and 12,450 square feet of canvas sail. The galley is on deck, and it features an 1893 cook stove similar to those used on commercial sailing ships 100 years ago. The Picton Castle continues to carry supplies and educational materials to far away islands in the South Pacific, but the ship’s main mission is deep-ocean sail training and long-distance education. Sail trainees participate fully in the ship’s operation as well as in training classes in seamanship and navigation. (Photo courtesy of Ocean State Tall Ships)

A New Addition To Newport’s Daily Grind By Jonathan Clancy Mokka Coffeehouse, located on lower Thames Street, is Newport’s newest caffeinated corner. The shop creates its own coffee blends for truly unique brews that you won’t taste anywhere else around town. Open for less than a month, the shop is already stirring up a buzz, offering specialty drinks like the Australian favorite “Flat White” (a creamy and robust latte with no foam), their exclusive Citron Green Iced Tea, and the refreshing Lebanese Lemonade, the latter of which is made with a hint of orange blossom. “I always wanted to open up a coffee shop like the one where I grew up,” said Mokka owner Jack Crowley. “It was an Arab coffee shop, so it was darker, had a big front porch, they served Turkish coffee, had candy on the counter, you know…more of a neighborhood spot for everybody to come,” he said. Hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, Crowley began his career there as a chef and was voted best in the city three times before relocating to Rhode Island. His family roots trace back to the East Mediterranean. “(My people) were circus performers in Lebanon,” Crowley said, “They came over here with the circus in the early 1900s.” Crowley renovated the Mokka storefront himself, right down to the hand-painted signs hanging out front. Inside, much of the finish carpentry was milled from restored wood and stained a dark mahogany, balanced by earthy yellow and brown walls. The room also has several statues that Crowley has accumulated over the years. “I’ve always collected camels,” he said, “I have hundreds more.” The name Mokka, not to be confused with chocolate, is actually a nod to the origin of coffee. According to Crowley, the name comes from the African word Moqka, pro-

Revisiting ‘Amistad’ In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the filming of Stephen Spielberg’s historical movie “Amistad,” the Jane Pickens Theater will screen the film on Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8, offering a $1 discount on the $10 ticket price to people who can prove that they were extras in the movie or who can show their Tall Ships ticket. “Amistad” tells the true story of the violent rebellion aboard the Spanish slave ship La Amistad off the coast of Cuba in 1839, the subsequent capture of the ship by a United States revenue cutter, and the legal conflicts that ensued in
New England and all the way up to the Supreme Court, involving Presidents Martin Van Buren and John Quincy Adams. During the 1997 filming of the movie in Newport, Queen Anne Square, Washington Square, and Clarke Street took a leap back in time. Many tons of specially processed dirt were spread on the streets to make them look historically correct. Temporary stone building facades were made from quarter-inch fiberglass panels nailed to water board, while other buildings were transformed with construction-pipe staging and

When veteran comedian Dennis Miller hits the stage at the Newport Yachting Center on July 14, it will be the first time that the fivetime Emmy award winner and unabashed libertarian has brought his act to the City-by-the-Sea. That much we know for sure. Everything else will depend on the morning’s headlines. One of two big names coming to the Newport Summer Comedy Series over the weekend of July 14 and 15th (comedian Bill Burr is the other), Miller will be armed with his signature acerbic, razor-sharp wit and rapid-fire pop culture references. Newport This Week recently caught up with Miller over the phone from the radio studio in Los Angeles, where he broadcasts his syndicated talk show to an audience of roughly 2.3 million listeners. While his radio show is politically tinged, Miller said his onstage persona is more than just talking politics. “I don’t want to turn into a pundit hectoring the whole time on stage,” he says. “I tend to do it right down the middle – talking about some politics but also harpooning the current events and the times we live in. My goal is to make the audience leave holding their stomachs from laughter.” Perhaps best known for his stint on “Saturday Night Live” as a cast member from 1985 – 1991, Miller has also hosted his own talk shows on HBO and CNBC, and can be seen as a regular political commentator on the Fox News Channel. With an act that changes weekly based on the newsy fodder of the day, Miller says his ability to update his act is due to his time spent behind the desk of “Weekend Update” on SNL. “That sketch was only 10 minutes long, but it was new every week,” he says, “so now that I’m doing a three-hour radio show, I’ve also learned how to shift conversations to a myriad of discussion topics.” Known for going on rants and tangents, Miller says he leaves the act at the radio studio and on the stage. “If I brought my rants home, there’d be no home to come to,” he says. “I can’t imagine that my wife would be here for 25 years if I did. I used to bring them home, and my wife zoned me out to the point where she said I sounded like a pissed off Charlie Brown parent.” With presidential elections coming up in November, part of Miller’s act will, undoubtedly, shift towards politics. When asked what potential running mate would be best for Mitt Romney from a co-

I don’t care who is in the main seat, the president can change – whatever. I want Joe Biden in the two slot. He’s too perfect. He steps in shit more frequently than a blind man at Pamplona and I just want to be there with the pooper scooper. I look at his hair plugs and I think they’ve reached down into this scalp and have severed the cords to his brain.” Following Miller will be crowd favorite Bill Burr, who makes his return to the Yachting Center on Sunday, July 15. Recently named “Comedian of the Year” at the Boston Comedy Festival, Burr says he doesn’t want his current level of fame to change. “I’m at the perfect level in this business,” he says. “Enough people know me that I can make a great living, but the second the show’s over and I’m out of the theater, nobody knows who I am. If I could stay at this level for the rest of my career, I’d be elated.” However, at the rate that Burr is adding accolades to his name, it’s likely his star will continue to rise. Burr received a standing ovation for his sold-out show at Carnegie Hall in November, a milestone for any comedian. He’s taped multiple hour-long specials on cable television, and was most recently seen on AMC’s Emmy-award winning show, “Breaking Bad,” where Burr
plays a henchman named Kuby. The chance to step offstage and in front of a camera in a dramatic role is something that Burr has wanted to do for years. “I’m a typical guy,” he says. “My favorite movies are the gangster types and if I could be the 12th or 15th name down the list in the credit, that’s exactly where I’d want to be. I like to be in the movies where some guns are being shot, and I get the crap beat out of me.” In recent years, Burr has also risen to Internet fame with a toprated podcast that is available for download every Monday morning. Recorded in his Los Angeles home, Burr says recording the shows every Monday is simply fun, easy work: “I’m just sitting in my bedroom with a little mixer and microphone, just like Howard Hughes – minus all the money, that little pencil mustache, and I trim my nails.” With a red-hot career, Burr jokes that he doesn’t have any more goals to attain, but again reiterates that fame sometimes comes
Dennis Miller on stage July 14. with sacrifices. “When you first get in this business, everyone has the fantasy of accepting an Oscar as an actor and sitting on Oprah’s couch with her asking, ‘How did you become so goddamn interesting?’” That doesn’t always happen and there’s a price you pay as far as personal space and free time. But right now? I’m at the perfect place. Everybody should have a cult following. It’s great.” The comedy starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are still available to both Miller and Burr’s shows and can be purchased online at www.NewportComedy.com, www.TicketMaster.com, the Newport Yachting Center Box Office at 4 Commercial Wharf, or by calling 800-745-3000.

SENIOR SAVVY Cool Activities for Hot Days By Florence Archambault It looks like summer has finally arrived, so here are a few tips on how to keep cool: Eat lightly and drink plenty of fluids. Dress in light-weight clothing that is light-colored and loose-fitting. Stay in the coolest part of the house. Stay out of the sun and wear a hat. If you are mobile, spend a couple of hours at an air-conditioned movie, the library, or other places that have air conditioning. The Edward King House Senior Center is not air-conditioned, and if there is a heat advisory, they recommend not coming to the center. The center is observing summer hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., and Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Summer programs at the King House begin this month. If you are interested in learning Drawing & Painting, T’ai Chi, Zumba, Line Dancing, or all levels of Yoga, call Marie at 846-7426 for information. Classes start July 9. All classes are $20 for 5 sessions, and you must be a member of the Center to join a class. Monday morning Book Chats at 11 a.m. with Mary O’Neill-Barrett from the Newport Public Library are becoming popular. Come and talk about the books that you are currently reading. All are welcome. At the Middletown Senior Center, activities include bingo, movies, cards, and T’ai Chi classes, just to mention a few. Meet at the Gaudet School walking track on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 a.m. to do some walking.
You will need a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water. On Mondays at 1:30 p.m., members will be meeting for gardening, planting vegetables, herbs, and flowers in the Center’s garden. Call 849-8823 for details. There is a need for foster grandparents. If you are interested and want more information, contact Kim Wetherald at the East Bay Foster Grandparent Program at 4357876. The Portsmouth Senior Center starts its new fiscal year with a fundraiser on Tuesday, July 10. A Country Jammer’ Revue will be held between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The cost is $5 prepaid. Price includes light refreshments. Deadline to sign up is July 6. On Thursday July 19 during the regular luncheon hour, the Center will be honoring member Babe St. Laurent on the occasion of his 108th birthday. What an accomplishment that is! The Center is getting low on medical equipment and could use donations of shower chairs, transfer benches and wheelchairs, if you have any you are not using. These are just some of many activities you can do this summer. It is important to belong to one or all of these centers to stay in touch through their newsletters and emails, so that you don’t miss something that may interest you.

Joe Beck Junior, Joe Beck Senior and George Allen took these three “keeper” bass this week.
Fair Winds Bring Fabulous Fishing By Tim Flaherty This first full week of summer fishing was outstanding. As the lobster molt that began in June continues, the reef and our craggy shores where lobsters feed and hunt for mates have been productive for striped bass, particularly for night anglers. The fair, northwesterly breezes of early summer have produced great water clarity. This is a typical wind pattern for early July. In the evening, when the inland land mass cools and cool Canadian air rushes south, these northerly winds appear. During the heat of day, in early afternoon, when the inland land mass heats up, cool sea breezes fill in from the cooler ocean water. These are Newport’s famous ocean breezes, the same ones that attracted the millionaires from the cities and prompted them to build palaces here a century ago. The winds are favored by sailors, and they are also a fisherman’s friend, because they push the warm water and seaweed out of our bay. The water clarity then improves, as does the fishing. Fluke and bass have no trouble finding an angler’s bait on the bottom where these fish often seek prey, such as squid, lobsters, and sand eels. Earlier this week on oceanside, anglers could clearly see into the water to a distance of 10 feet or more. Sam Toland of Sam’s Bait and Tackle reports that bass fishing on Block Island has been raging since last weekend. He weighed in three bass in the 50-pound range this week. Jay Wessels, B.J. Silvia, and Ralph Craft slammed this week’s big fish using eels at night at South-

vessel. These huge creatures, also known as Ocean Sunfish, are the heaviest bony fish in the ocean and can weigh up to 3,000 pounds. (Sharks have cartilage rather than bone). Mola have elongated bodies and are oval-shaped with huge wide mouths and enormous lips, steep foreheads, and large eyes on the side of their heads. A Mola’s enormous size and large dorsal fin with no tail give it a very strange appearance. The one we spotted was perhaps 450 pounds and five to six feet in length. They are very slow moving and docile creatures that spend their time sucking up jellyfish with their huge lips. Molas are found in Pacific and Indian Oceans as well. This is the first one we’ve seen in two years. Boaters should approach them slowly and carefully. Scup fishermen from shore have had a banner week, with large schools of jumbo scup descending the bay, bending rods all along the shoreline. The rocky shores of Fort Adams State Park and Jamestown’s Fort Wetherill have been productive. Some scup appeared at the reef, but only in the shallows. Last weekend, a kayaker had the good fortune to run into a big bass thrashing about on the surface trying to dislodge from its gullet a huge scup that it had tried but failed to swallow. The alert kayaker scooped up both fish! Capt. Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island native who taught high school and college-level history. He has been angling for more than 50 years, following his father, Frank Flaherty.

west Ledge. Remember, anglers: a 50-pound bass is 25 to 35 years in age, and its waist is often 28 inches or more. The mouth of a bass can open wide enough to swallow a small chicken. The chances of a recreational angler landing one of these monsters are estimated to be a million to one. Congratulations to these lads, and welcome to the Fifty Pounder Club! This week’s fluke fishing also has been good, with many fish but fewer good keepers. This year’s Department of Environmental Management regulation for fluke puts a keeper at 18.5 inches in length. The professional fluke fishermen have been fishing near Elbow Ledge off Sachuest Beach, off Price’s Neck, and south of Bailey’s Beach. In the bay, the water north of the Pell Bridge has been productive. When fluke are feeding, they face the current and wait for prey to come their way, and from a hidden position and blending into their surroundings, they suddenly surge up and attack their prey, then retreat to their hidden spot. It is important for anglers to try to drift when the wind opposes the current. The most common way to catch fluke is by drifting baits and jigs across the bottom. Squid is the most popular bait and is used widely. Always use either a whole small squid (6 -8 inches) or a 6-inch strip. To make certain your rig is on the bottom, use a 3- to 4-ounce sinker above your rig when fishing in deeper water. Remember the fisherman’s axiom: Big bait, big fish. My mate and former Coast Guard man T.J. Harris recently spotted a mola mola rolling under our

A Benefit for the Bay and Shore
July Programs at Sachuest Programs at the Sachuest Wildlife Refuge are offered by staff and volunteers and are free to the public.
By Jack Kelly Recently Barbara and Duncan Chapman opened their home, Cornwall Lodge, for a fundraising event to benefit the newly established Newport Coastal Restoration Fund, the fund is designed to provide financial support over the next three years to local coastal restoration and water-quality efforts undertaken by Save the Bay. Five projects have been designated to receive financial assistance through the fund. According to Save the Bay Director Jonathon Stone, “These funds will be restricted to these five projects only over the next three years.” He continued, “We receive very little in federal funding, no state funding- so we are dependent on local funding to achieve our mission. We are a part of Newport- and we look forward to these projects.” Gooseneck Cove project: Enhance the recovery of the Cove and marsh and educate the public about its importance to the health of the ecosystem. This project includes salt marsh plantings and installation of interpretive signage. Easton’s Beach project: Beautify and increase natural areas along the road, beach, moat and berm as well as improve the beach’s water quality by reducing polluted runoff. This project includes native plantings, stormwater management and installation of interpretive signage between Memorial Boulevard and Easton’s Pond. Lily Pond project: Beautify Ocean Drive and the southern shore of the pond while reducing polluted runoff and nutrient loading. Develop plan to control invasive plants and restore native plant community. Work in partnership with Rogers High School to implement green landscaping practices, including installation of rain gardens. Newport Harbor project: Beautify King Park and improve the resiliency of the park’s shoreline. This project includes plantings and landscaping along the park. Almy Pond project: Assess the feasibility of habitat restoration, stormwater management and invasive plant control – given the known nutrient pollution problem in the pond. To have a role in this series of projects or for more information go to: www.savebay.org/restore or call (401) 272-
