Coronet Restoration Takes Shape at IYRS By Jonathan Clancy
On Saturday, July 7, Newport’s International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) celebrated 15 years with a Summer Gala, “Mastering The Craft,” which featured a morning of historic yacht restoration, an afternoon sailing around Newport Harbor, a dinner, and a silent auction to raise money for scholarships and educational programs. Guests danced the night away in the transformed Restoration Hall. A school dedicated to developing careers in the marine industry, IYRS was founded by John Mecray and Elizabeth Meyer in 1993 on lower Thames Street. The school converted an old electricity plant into a classroom that now generates power of a different sort. It took three years to renovate the large brick building into a classroom where students receive hands-on training in boatbuilding and restoration, marine systems, and composites technology. Projects at IYRS range from building new 12’4” Beetle Cats to the ongoing major restoration of the Coronet, a 133’ Schooner Yacht first launched in1885. “It’s been a heck of a job,” Coronet owner Robert McNeil said during the transom installation recently. In 2006, the IYRS board approached McNeil, a venture capitalist with a passion for sailing, racing, and restoring yachts, to see if he had an interest in taking ownership of the yacht and funding the restoration on the IYRS campus, giving students the
Former Rogers High School Principal Patricia DiCenso has filed a suit against the Newport School Department with the Rhode Island Department of Labor & Training, seeking to be compensated for 72 unused vacation days that she says she accrued during her six years at Rogers. DiCenso abruptly resigned from her position in October 2011 when she was hired as chief school performance officer in Pawtucket, a move that put her at the same level as an assistant superintendent. In November, attorneys representing DiCenso sent a letter to the Newport School Committee and City Council requesting that she be paid a total of $35,417.60 for unused vacation days plus the remaining amount of her final paycheck — in the amount of $4,157.34.

Council to Weigh Turbine Ordinance By Tom Shevlin
of the Colt revolver, took the challenge in his boat Dauntless, but Coronet claimed victory in just 14 days with Colt and his crew 30 hours behind. Coronet has had nine owners, circumnavigated the globe twice, won many races, hosted kings and emperors, and employed numerous captains, including her last, Timothy Murray, who was on hand on Saturday for the transom installation. Murray, who now resides in New Hampshire and teaches at a Christian private school, lived on Coronet for six years while he was a teenager. “It was a great way to grow up,” he said. His father was a
Following months of deliberations, Newport city planners have formally presented to city councilors a proposal aimed at governing the installation of residential and commercial-scale wind turbines. The proposal comes just over six months after councilors passed a resolution temporarily halting any new applications for home-based wind turbines and directing city staff to develop a workable ordinance to govern the placement and size of turbines in the future. The action stemmed from a request by a Fifth Ward resident to erect a turbine in his yard on Eastnor Road. Since then, Planning Board members had been working on crafting an amendment that would satisfy the city's need to balance neighborhood interests, while also allowing land owners an avenue for pursuing renewable energy sources. In June, Planning Board members found the proposed zoning amendment consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan. "Upon much public deliberation and due diligence over the course of the previous three months, the board has crafted a proposed zoning amendment that balances the

opportunity to be a part of this project. At the time, McNeil, along with his partner Jerry Rutherford, were finishing up restoration on the 1901 steam yacht Cangarda. In 2007, they agreed to take on the estimated $13 million Coronet project. The last of its kind from the Gilded Age, Coronet had been donated to IYRS in 1995 by a missionary group, The Kingdom, which had acquired the yacht in 1905 and used it to circumnavigate the globe, spreading the word of their nondenominational prayer movement. Designed by the Greenport, Long Island company Smith & Terry and built by Brooklyn-based C&R Poillon for original owner Rufus T. Bush, Coronet could cover
long distances without the sacrifice of comfort and style. White pine decks and varnished teak stanchions supported brilliant brightwork and uniquely detailed deckhouses. A polished marble staircase with newel posts topped with brass lamps led through swinging stained glass doors into a saloon adorned with hand-carved mahogany panels, engraved mirrors and upholstered settees. The yacht’s maiden voyage, captained by Christopher S. Crosby, began in Brooklyn, crossed the Atlantic, and continued on through the Mediterranean. The voyage prompted Bush to challenge any takers to a trans-Atlantic race for a prize of $10,000. Caldwell Colt, son of the inventor

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 A hearing between DiCenso and school administrators took place on Thursday, June 28 at the Division of Workforce Regulation and Safety in Cranston. Superintendent John H. Ambrogi said that no decision was made at the hearing, and that the school department is currently awaiting a final outcome. “The next step is for the attorneys to file written arguments instead of oral arguments, and we’ll go from there,” he said Tuesday. A letter from school department attorney Neil Galvin dated April 30 to Chief Labor Standards Examiner Helen Gage states that DiCenso continues to “misconstrue the law” in terms of the contract that she signed. During the time that DiCenso was employed by the Newport school system, she worked under seven different contracts. In refusing to pay the vacation days, the school department is arguing that with each new contract, the provisions in previous agreements became null and void. According to Galvin, the first contract DiCenso worked under limited accrued vacation days to 50, with the second contract reducing the amount to 40 days. The third and fourth contract limited the amount to 30 days. The two most recent contracts limited vacation days to 25, but also required that DiCenso be in the system for 10 years before being entitled to the limited accrued vacation days. DiCenso became principal of Rogers in July 2005, falling short of that 10-year requirement. “It is the terms and conditions of the last contract that DiCenso was working under that apply in this case," Galvin argued. "Those terms and conditions do not entitle [her] to the payment she is seeking. [She] seeks to refer only to certain provisions of her contract and ignore any limiting provisions. This should not be permitted.” However, in a letter from her attorney, DiCenso “vehemently denies” ever receiving that agreement. DiCenso is also seeking "full compensation" of her final paycheck. In the letter to the City Council, attorney Jeffrey Sawa argued that her final bi-weekly paycheck should have compensated her for the two weeks she worked between Oct. 22 – Nov. 4, 2011, and should have equaled $4,162.31. However, a paycheck she received on Nov. 10 was for $4.97. Galvin submitted a schedule of all payment dates since DiCenso began working for the district in 2005, which showed that she had received a payment of $4,162.31 on Oct. 28. Another attorney for DiCenso, Michael Jacobs, called the payment dates provided by the school department “self-serving” and “highly misleading.” Newport-Now.com will have updated information when a decision is reached.
More Testing at Queen Anne Square The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) has sent an update letter to the parties involved in the Newport Restoration Foundation’s (NRF) planned renovation of the city’s iconic Queen Anne Square park. The letter follows up on an April 2-16 public meeting and comment period during which soil contamination in the park was discussed. In the June 28 letter addressed to NRF executive director Pieter Roos with copies to city and state officials, DEM revises the scope of work for the park project. In particular, the letter states that soil samples taken for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) analysis should be screened using a photoionization detector, and that if elevated readings are found to be present, a sample from that location should also be tested for total petroleum hydrocarbons.
Also in the letter, the DEM requests that in addition to the two groundwater monitoring wells already specified in the proposal, another well be added in the southeast corner of the park to test for “potential historic releases (to groundwater) from the gas station formerly located at the corner of Spring and Mill Streets.” DEM also states that a well shown on historic maps of the site should be located and its water sampled and evaluated “for the presence of separate phase product using an interface probe.” Prior to the testing, DEM notes, NRF is required to notify all abutters “that further investigation is about to occur,” including its purpose and approximate date. The DEM letter is signed by Joseph T. Martella II, senior engineer in the DEM’s Office of Waste Management.

ability of Newport property- owners to construct and maintain wind energy systems while simultaneously protecting the city's historic aesthetic and quality of life," wrote Planning Board Chair James Dring. According to Dring, board members paid particular attention to ensuring that residential-scale wind energy systems are allowed "only where the Comprehensive Plan deems them to be appropriate." Accordingly, if adopted by city councilors, turbines would be prohibited in the local Historic District Zone, and moreover would only be permitted at heights that are in keeping with the scale of singlefamily homes. Any deviation from the dimensional requirements of a residential wind energy system will require a Special Use Permit from the Newport Zoning Board of Review. As far as commercial-scale wind energy, under the ordinance, they would only be allowed in the Com-
mercial Industrial Zone and the Traditional Maritime Zone, and would require a Special Use Permit. Meanwhile, utility-scale wind turbines such as those found in Portsmouth were deemed "inappropriate for a city as densely developed as Newport." "Throughout the board's review, public comment and participation was essential to crafting a wellbalanced and thorough proposed zoning amendment," Dring wrote. "Many viewpoints were represented in the draft. During the entire process of fact finding, analysis, review and drafting of the ordinance, protecting property rights, general welfare and public safety were of paramount concern to board members. The proposed wind ordinance represents a responsible balance of land use that makes Newport a unique place to live, work and visit." The council is expected to vote on the proposed amendment in the coming months.

Teams to Negotiate Teachers' Contract By Meg O’Neil
Two arbiters representing the Teachers Association of Newport and the Newport School Committee are scheduled to meet on Friday, July 20 to negotiate the basis of a new teacher’s contract. The session comes two months after members of the teacher’s group overwhelmingly voted down a proposed contract in May by a 100-41 margin. A third arbiter chosen by both parties will also be present for the meeting. Twelve contractual items will be up for negotiation during the meeting, including: length of the contract, length of the school day, class size, elimination of clusters at Thompson Middle School and elimination of language referring to clustering in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, elimination of stipendiary positions including Director of Guidance, AVA Coordinator, and Head Teacher at the career and technical center, elimination of job fairs and alignment of assign-
ments, health insurance plan redesign, increase in cost shares and co-pays with regards to health and dental insurance, elimination of health insurance as a post retirement benefit, contract compliance with state regulations concerning teacher evaluations, elimination of contract buy-backs for employees who reject health and dental insurance. The city's public school teachers have been working without a contract since August of 2011. The proposed contract from May would have covered September 2011 through August 2014. School committee member Charles Shoemaker said the biggest “hang-up” will be negotiating the cluster model at Thompson Middle School. Shoemaker revealed that he does not believe that the teachers will go on strike by the fall, but that the arbitration process between the two teams is heading into “uncharted waters.” Visit Newport-Now.com for further results on the contract.

Watercolor Workshops ‘Rhode Island Rocks’ - Find Waldo! at Watson Farm Call to Artists (on Aquidneck Island)
For What It’s Worth
The Newport Art Museum is seeking submissions for “Rhode Island Rocks,” an online exhibition featuring images of original artworks in any medium that celebrate Rhode Island. Submissions will be accepted through the Museum’s page on Facebook from July 16 through Aug. 10. Guest juror and renowned nautical photographer Onne van der Wal will select finalists, and the Museum’s community on Facebook will vote Aug. 13 - 25 to determine “Best in Show.” The winning artist will be invited to exhibit in the Museum’s Coleman Center for Creative Studies and on the organization’s website. For complete rules and information, visit www.NewportArtMuseum.org or call 848-8200.
A visitor to our gallery recently brought in a July 1924 copy of Playboy magazine. No pin-ups in this tome. This highstyle art magazine was printed years before the more familiar 1950’s magazine. A quarterly, this July ’24 edition was published by Egmont Arens, $1 a copy and $3.50 a year. This issue, along with poetry, stories and topical tidbits, contains extraordinary original art work by Rockwell Kent, Louis Bouché, Arthur Young, Alfred Maurer to name a few with many hand-done woodblocks. Hard to research a value, but if the original wood block prints were removed and sold individually, the value of this modest $1 investment could add up to a few hundred. — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques

EDITORIAL Balancing Needs – Residents v. Business
T
he race village that housed the America's Cup World Series at Fort Adams was still being disassembled when the Tall Ships arrived. The Newport Flower Show has come and gone; and the city's gala season is well underway. At the Newport Yachting Center, Ziggy Marley was under the tent to kick off the Nantucket Nectars Sunset Music Series, and so was legendary comedienne Joan Rivers, who got things rolling in the Newport Summer Comedy Series. Newport Film is continuing with their indy-centric cinema series, and at Ballard Park, music month is underway. Downtown this weekend, Los Lobos, Dennis Miller and Bill Burr will all be headlining, while out on Ocean Drive, the Newport Kite Festival will take to the air and Civil War reenactors will fight it out at Fort Adams. If that's not enough, the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Tournament is in full swing, and the Newport Music Festival soon will be. Keeping track of the summer in the city can be daunting. We do our best in these pages, and online, but sometimes it's best to simply get out and stumble upon the sights and sounds of the season. Of course, some of the sights and sounds that come with the season can be simply too much for those who live in town. If we are to continue to grow in our event and entertainment offerings, it seems that the city needs to address two glaring deficiencies: our traffic and late-night crowds. On the former, traffic management techniques used in the recent ACWS and Tall Ships events proved encouraging, albeit traffic was still snarled at times from America's Cup all the way out to Aquidneck Avenue. If, as we hope, Newport is able to build upon our tourist trade, then we need to do more to improve the city's parking, public transit, and alternative transportation options. We are an old city – built out over three hundred years and exacerbated by an ill-advised modern highway system stretching from the Pell Bridge to Easton's Beach. On one hand, we're easily accessible. On the other, we're an impossible-to-navigate island that swells with cars and people each summer. Which brings us to our other challenge. For years, we've heard residents of various neighborhoods complain about the noise and rowdy behavior that comes with being a destination tourist town. Each night, crowds spill out into the streets and presumably to their homes, hotels, and cars. And each night, residents in some of the city's most historic neighborhoods awakened by to the riot of sounds that echo through our narrow streets. Inevitably, conflicts arise. The latest can be seen in the request by the Blues Cafe to expand their liquor license to a proposed outdoor patio in the parking lot adjacent to their building. Neighbors fear a "slippery slope." The owners of the business have promised to ensure the highest and best experience for patrons and the neighbors. We've seen this disagreement before. Whether it's on Lower Thames Street, The Point, or Historic Hill, we as a city need to find a balance. If the root problem is the convergence of partygoers into the streets at 1 a.m., then we should pivot. In the past, the city has beefed up its police presence at known problem points along Thames Street in anticipation of the bars letting out. But what if closing times were staggered? What if we re-imagined our licensing process pertaining to bars and restaurants? If Newport is to continue to grow as a destination and retain the businesses and residents that make up our community's fabric, then it's high time that all options be examined, and all sides be heard.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Connecticut, a Model for Career Education To the Editor: “I have manufacturing jobs, and I cannot fill them with qualified candidates,” stated the president of a Providence-based manufacturing company. The Newport County Mentor Co-Op Group and Community College of Rhode Island President Ray DiPasquale hosted a meeting last month in Warwick to discuss the very successful Asnuntuck (Conn.) Community College manufacturing program, and this is the way that our meeting started. The director of that manufacturing education program, Frank Gulluni, then proceeded to give an overview of his successful program. Asnuntuck College offers certificate programs for high school students. After graduating, they receive an average yearly salary of $55,000 as compared to $35,000 for a typical graduate with an associate degree. Asnuntuck also offers retraining for employees at local businesses to give them a new skill-set for their existing jobs. Companies such as Sikorsky Aircraft partici-
pate, generating a source of income with these company funds that helps the rest of their programs. The Senedia Skill Gap study identified this program at Asnuntuck Community College as a viable program to model in Rhode Island, to help give our high school students the skills and direction needed for the 21st century. The program is so well received in Connecticut that when it was suggested that their budget be cut, their director spoke with their corporate partners before the legislative body, and their budget was increased instead of being cut. The State of Connecticut has set aside funding and asked other community colleges in the state to develop similar programs. President DiPasquale has invited the director of the program back to discuss the development of a similar program at CCRI’s Warwick campus. Asnuntuck is also developing an early college program through which high school students will graduate with an associate degree
after five years of combined high school and community college classes. These very successful programs exist in other states and are supported by the Gates Foundation. The Newport County Mentor/ Co-Op Group is also developing an early college program here in Newport County with the assistance of President DiPasquale. Future meetings will be conducted to develop a game plan for such a program. Topics of discussion will include the need for corporate sponsors, and career segments that should be modeled to help our local area high school students. This program would be offered in cooperation with the Newport campus of the Community College of Rhode Island. We need to offer clear career paths for our high school students. An early college program would be a powerful way to help guide them in their future career endeavors. Chris Semonelli Middletown Town Councilman
City, State to Examine Bike Safety By Tom Shevlin City Council members on Wednesday voted to adopt a resolution asking state transportation officials to broaden plans to conduct an investigation of cyclist safety issues on Memorial Boulevard to all of Newport's state-operated roadways. The resolution, which was sponsored by councilors Justin S. McLaughlin, Naomi L. Neville, Henry F. Winthrop and Jeanne-Marie Napolitano, comes just weeks after the tragic death of a cyclist on Memorial Boulevard, and two years after the council first expressed its support for the AARP's "Complete Streets" initiative. That program, which encourages multimodal design in the planning and redevelopment of transportation-related infrastructure, has been embraced by the state for all future roadway enhancement projects and is seen by advocates as a critical piece in promoting healthy,
safe and livable communities. When Newport adopted the concept, it was the first community in New England to do so, and its fingerprints can be seen in the planned Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project, construction on which is scheduled to begin sometime next spring. According to the resolution adopted by councilors this week, "Complete Streets are designed and operated to facilitate safe travel by all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders, as well as all motorists." It goes on to note that the recent death of a bicyclist on Memorial Boulevard has resulted in a, "community discussion of unsafe conditions related to vehicular speed and road-sharing opportunities...to more safely accommodate cyclists and pedestrians." Following the accident, Newport Rep. Peter Martin (D) asked RIDOT to conduct an investigation with a pledge to promptly examine road-
way conditions around the city and address opportunities for improvement. The council applauded Martin's effort and went on to ask that RIDOT's investigation be "expanded to address other safety issues, specifically those related to cyclists and pedestrians, on all State roadways within the City of Newport, and that its investigation consider Complete Street design concepts in identifying actions that can be taken to improve safe use of these roadways by everyone." RIDOT is also asked to conduct a public hearing in Newport to provide an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and concerns regarding cyclist and pedestrian safety issues so that community input can be used in developing an improvement plan. Members of Bike Newport, the cycling advocacy group that sprung up last year to promote safe riding, heartily endorsed the resolution.

New Lease for the Armory By Tom Shevlin City Council members on Wednesday were poised to approve a 15-month lease with the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation, the latest development in the city's effort to shore up the operation of the Lower Thames Street Armory complex. The lease, which was due to run from July 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2013, calls for payments of $5,000 per month, plus utilities for May through October, and monthly payments of $3,000 plus utilities for November through April. The agreement represents a 25 percent increase for the summer months, and a 50 percent increase during the winter over the previous rent. The lease also incorporates maintenance oversight of the public restroom on the ground floor as well as both public liability and fire insurance and maintenance at the facility inclusive of snow removal, general cleaning and routine maintenance of interior public spaces. Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation Executive Director David McCurdy said on Tuesday that he was eager to move forward with the city to help improve the Armory and reopen its main floor to business. The agreement marks a significant turn in the redevelopment of the Armory building, reasserting the city's commitment to its upkeep and also provides a degree of certainty for the vendors that make up the Armory Antiques Center on the main level, and the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation, who have maintained offices in the building for the past 25 years. "That's what this is all about," said McCurdy. "We're just excited to reopen and take advantage of the rest of the summer." Since the building was shuttered for renovations last year, the antiques center has lost at least 10 vendors who had been paying rent for space ranging from $80-$100 for a display case up to $1,000 per month. McCurdy is confident that some of the vendors will return, though there will likely be some space available. The lease period is also expected to give the city a defined window in which to examine a long-term reuse for the building.
Tim Murray tests out the new wheel placement. His father was a skipper aboard Coronet. (Photo by Jonathan Clancy)
IYRS CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 skipper; his grandfather was a first officer. “She was last sailed in 1985,” he explained. That year marked the yacht’s centennial. Coronet remained berthed at the Beacon Marine Basin in Gloucester until 1995. The ship was not in peak condition. In 1985, Murray wrote an article about Coronet for “Wooden Boat” magazine, hoping to find an organization that could handle its restoration. IYRS wanted the job. The owners, The Kingdom, knew that IYRS appreciated the history of the vessel, and had the capacity to return Coronet to her former grandeur. IYRS students, with help from Meyer and J Class Management,
began the restoration project in the fall of 2001, removing and archiving every piece of the ship before dismantling it. Two years later, 24 white oak trees were felled from the Royal Danish Shipbuilding Forest in Denmark to be used in the ship’s restoration. Today, Coronet is taking shape. Visitors are welcome to stop in and view the process, as the project could take up to three more years. At present, the transom is on, and the helm is in place. “When I stood behind the wheel and looked forward and then looked aloft – man, what a feeling,” Murray said. “There’s power in that frame.”

Disabled Sailors Compete in Clagett Against the backdrop of over a dozen vessels assembling for the Ocean State Tall Ships Parade of Sail, competitors got down to business on the final day of racing at the 10th annual C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta. The Claggett is North America's premier event for sailors with disabilities. “This event is the best event in the United States,” said Paralympic sailor Julio Reguero. “Every time you go in the water you learn a new thing. It is really tough sailing in Newport, so training here with Mark [LeBlanc] and the other guys pushes you to the limits.” The C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Trophy for 2012 was awarded to LeBlanc (New Orleans, La.) for the second consecutive year. Awarded to the sailor with the best overall performance at the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta, the trophy was presented to LeBlanc, who will represent the U.S.A. at the Paralympic Games this September in the 2.4 Metre, at the conclusion

LeBlanc won two of the eight races sailed, finished second in five races, and saw his worst finish, a fifth which he was able to discard, in the final race of the series. “This regatta is a favorite of mine,” said LeBlanc during the awards presentation. “You can show up in the shirt on your back and go sailing for three days and not worry about a thing.”

The dahlias are in bloom in full force this year. These dinner-platesized flowers are just that! Their height and trunk-like stems are only surpassed by the huge size of their blooms. They are the beauties of the garden this summer. Dahlias are a flower with built-in performance. They occasionally let the gardener down in size, but never with a lack of blooming power. Keep cutting the flowers off after they have bloomed. Not only will you have lovely bouquets in your home, you also will find that cutting back the flowers creates twice as many new buds. Dahlias love water. It is the flower that keeps on giving right through October. Roses, on the other hand, are not particularly happy with the hot weather we are having. They are far more comfortable with mist, or a frequent short rain as found in England. During periods of heat, it is best to mulch your roses and water often. Roses love water, and the mulch will help retain the moisture. Stay away from buckwheat hull mulch for roses, as they look very tidy but tend to rot and get moldy. This type of mulch does not hold in the moisture your roses are craving. Roses also love to be fed and given a systemic medicine to rid them of black spot. Black spot is a really ugly fungus that loves rose leaves. Bayer Systemic Rose Drench really does the trick. It is an excellent product that does double duty. It has a built-in fungicide with fertilizer. This is the perfect combination for the health of your roses. Like dahlias, roses really like being pruned. For roses that rebloom all summer, once the flowers have gone by, prune the stem immediately. You might be surprised to find that within a week a new stem is growing and will give you yet another cluster of roses. Pruning, food, fungicide, mulch, and water are the five elements of a stable rose garden. Lilies, both Hemerocalis (daylilies) and Lilium (Oriental, Asiatic, Martagon, and may other varieties)
Trumpet vine blooms come in shades of red, orange and yellow. They attract hummingbirds, wasps and bees that are good for the garden. are all doing very well this summer. What is great about all of these lilies is that they have strong tubers (Hemerocallis) or bulbs (Lilium) that can withstand drought. They love water, but are the camels of the perennial bed. Rarely do you see them buckle under heat stress. Due to our mild winter and very warm spring, the lilies are blooming about two weeks earlier this year. This means you will wish you planted more late-season lilies! That is never a bad idea. Early-blooming clematis is gone, but ever-blooming and late blooming clematis are still gracefully clinging to trellises and fences. Bell-shaped clematis will bloom all summer long. A lovely clematis to add to your collection is Roguchi from Japan. It is a deep indigo blue, truly stunning, and magnificent against a white trellis. If you clip off its fuzzy centers after they have lost their petals, they will continue blooming and produce many more flowers. They are a favorite of hummingbirds. The base of clematis vines should be mulched. They like their feet cool and damp. They are not very heat resistant. Their leaves will start baking and turning crisp and brown in extreme heat. Another very strong vine and aggressive climber is Trumpet Vine. These flowers are red, yellow, or orange. This somewhat invasive vine is just starting to bloom. Its flower
looks like wax and is right out of a fairy tale. It is a charming old-fashioned flowering vine, and hummingbirds long beaks find their way into the beautiful trumpetshaped flowers. Hummingbirds will feed late in the afternoon to early evening. Have your camera ready for a picture of hummingbirds feeding on trumpet vine. It is a lovely sight. If you are very quiet, you might see a pair of hummingbirds at the same time. You can hear the tiny chirp they make, as well as the sound of their wings whirring at breakneck speed. Balloon flower/Platycodon is another perennial garden staple. The plant never disappoints. Not only is it easy to grow, it returns every spring to start another beautiful display of white, blue-purple, or striped balloons in your garden. The balloons will open to form magnificent star-shaped flowers. Children love to see these growing. Cut them back, and you will have two large crops of flowers in one season. Like dahlias, the more you prune, the more flowers will re-bloom. It is a heat and drought resistant plant. If you let their seedpods dry, they will fall to the ground, and some will reseed. Good news! Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown and Schartner Farm in Exeter are now open for blueberry picking. Here is a great tip for the pick-your-own customer: Bring baggies in the sizes you use in your recipes, i.e. pint, quart, gallon, or sandwich size for cereal. Fill a quart-sized baggie for one large pie, etc. The berries are sold by pound, so you can create your own individual portions. Use up the berries you have marked for the week, and freeze the rest. In the middle of winter, you will enjoy fresh blueberry pancakes on Sunday while reading the newspaper! Picking your own berries is an entertaining and delicious outing for adults and children. Pick your own! Cynthia Gibson is a gardener, food writer and painter. She gardens passionately and tends her miniature orchard in Newport.

ARCHI-TEXT Historic Casino Hosts World-Class Tennis By Ross Sinclair Cann, AIA This past week was the first time in 29 years that official America’s Cup races (although these were preliminary to the actual Cup races) have been held in the “City by the Sea.” Now, the spotlight shifts to an asset that has been a constant source of pleasure and attention along Bellevue Avenue since 1880: the Newport Casino. This weekend, top players from around the world, including the top doubles team in the world and the man who broke the “Curse of the Casino” last year, John Isner, arrive to play in the Campbell’s Hall of Fame tournament. This is now the only professional grass court tournament played in North America. The Newport Casino was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead & White, which became the most influential and prolific American architectural partnership of the late 19th century and early 20th century. Charles Follen McKim was an early proponent of the French design tradition in the United States, having followed Richard Morris Hunt as the second American graduate of the prestigious École des Beaux Arts in Paris. Although McKim and his partner, William Rutherford Mead, had enjoyed some success with another partner, William Bigelow, it was after Bigelow was replaced with the flamboyant but talented designer Stanford White that the partnership reached new heights. The Newport Casino was commissioned in 1879 by James Gordon Bennett, who owned an estate where the Bellevue Garden shopping complex now stands. He reportedly founded the club after fellow members of the Reading Room Club objected to his polo instructor riding up the staircase to the second floor of the building on a bet with Bennett. Bennett lost both the bet and his Reading Room membership. Located at 194 Bellevue Avenue, the Casino building is a masterpiece of the Shingle Style, which was popular during the 1880s. The Casino shares many stylistic details with the Isaac Bell House (also designed by the same firm in 1882). This building is located further

Among the many features shared by the two buildings are intricately cut cedar shingles, rounded towers, encircling covered porches, and a loose asymmetric composition of masses arranged to suit each site. A particularly interesting feature of the Casino is the mix of stone, brick and shingle at the interior “Horseshoe Courtyard.” This eclectic mix of material gave the building the look of a structure built over many decades through addition to older structures and gave the club an aura of heritage and history. The Casino (in those days meaning “little house” and not “place of gambling”) represented a new sort of leisure facility with dining, sporting and other facilities under one roof—what would later become known as the “country club.” It was one of the earliest lawn tennis clubs in the country, was the site of the first United States lawn tennis championship (which eventually became the US Open) and remains, to this day, one of the most spectacular lawn tennis facilities in the country and even in the world. This magnificent complex is more or less intact, thanks to the vision (and generosity) of summer Newporters James and Candace Van Alen, who saved the property from becoming a strip shopping center in 1954 by inventing a new

use for it—the Lawn Tennis Hall of Fame. In 1973, induction into the institution was widened to include international players, and in 1976 it was renamed the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHOF). This grand complex is now home to one of the central collections of tennis history and memorabilia in the world, including the original patent, signed by Queen Victoria, for the invention of lawn tennis. For its role in the career of McKim, Mead and White, and its importance in the development of the American Shingle Style and in the invention of the “country club,” the Casino complex in 1987 was designated a National Historic Landmark, the highest individual honor a building can be given. This year, because the Olympic tennis matches will be played on grass in London, Newport’s Hall of Fame Tournament will see participation by many top players who want to stay on grass rather than convert to hard courts immediately after Wimbledon.

02840 Feeling Creative? Newport's the Place By Virginia Treherne-Thomas You may not have time to take a class at the Newport Art Museum, so feast yourself on the imagination of others. Viewing art is critical in economic hard times because it is our link with the past, a reflection on the present and a gift to our future. A lot of people who understand this supported the Newport Art Museum at their Centennial Gala last Saturday evening. After 100 years, the museum continues to educate Newporters in the contemporary arts scene. Throughout the year, the museum has art classes, camps, concerts, talks, live theater, trips and special events. They even have a book group, Read/Eat/Chat, held on the third Thursday of every month. Books selected for this series cover museum-related topics such as collectors, collections, criminals, caretakers and curators. On July 19 at noon, Debra Dean’s book “The Madonnas of Leningrad” will be the focus of a chat, so bring a lunch and chat away. And speaking of books, the mission of the Redwood Library should certainly be supported. It’s quite simply this: “Having nothing in view but the good of mankind.” Who wouldn’t want to get on their bandwagon? This weekend, you can do just that at “A Revolutionary Soiree,” a Bastille Day celebration of French/American relations. Or, if you prefer Shakespeare to song and dance, every Thursday
evenings you can read out loud with other aficionados of the Bard. Be sure to hear to "venture philanthropist" Peter Kiernan discuss his book, “Becoming China’s Bitch” on Thursday, July 26. Such splendid summer weather greeted the Tall Ships, those glorious icons of nautical history. Fourteen of them, including five of the larger square-rigged Class A ships, spent several days here along the waterfront culminating in a Parade of Sail last Monday. Rhode Island’s own Tall Ship, the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, named for the Newport-born hero of the War of 1812, will be commissioned here next summer. Transport yourself from sunny Newport to sunny Italy… “Under The Tuscan Sky” this Thursday night, July 12, supports Newport Hospital, making sure that it will be there, for everyone who needs it. This event will be a party not to be missed.

Live from Newport By Meg O’Neil For ten minutes every Saturday night, Seth Meyers pokes fun at news stories from around the world un his role as the man behind the desk on “Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update. But on Friday, July 20, Meyers will step out from behind the desk and take the stage at the Summer Comedy Series at the Newport Yachting Center as one of the headlining comedians appearing throughout the summer. Even though he grew up in New England, Meyers says that he’s never been to Newport. “I’ve never been invited therem and I hold the people of Newport accountable for that,” Meyers joked during a recent interview. “But I’ve been told it’s beautiful, and I can’t wait to get there.” After leaving the New England area to attend college at Northwestern University, Meyers caught the improv bug and hasn’t looked back since. A cast member of the iconic “Saturday Night Live” sketch comedy show since 2001, Meyers was appointed head writer for the 20062007 season following Tina Fey’s departure. Even though, of the current cast, he has had the longest tenure with the show, Meyers says the hectic schedule of performing a live show every Saturday night is anything but routine. “It’s still thrilling,” he says. “It means so much when you have a different host every week. They’re all different, so it gives the show completely different DNA and new life every week. That’s part of the challenge – changing the characters and voices for guest hosts week after week.” Because the SNL cast changes every few years, Meyers says that since his first season in 2001, “it’s almost a completely new cast – so when new people come in, they bring in fresh ideas and create new characters that keep the show going.” Meyers said the most nervous he’s ever been for a gig has not been on SNL, but was when he hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2011. “I had to have dinner with the First Lady about 90-minutes before going on, and I was just pacing, worrying about minding my table manners. I was relieved to start telling jokes once the event started.” In 2006, Meyers began co-anchoring Weekend Update with SNL alum Amy Poehler, and he
Seth Meyers will entertain at the Summer Comedy Series on Friday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m. became the solo anchor for the 2008 season after Poehler’s departure from the show. Being both the Weekend Update anchor and the show’s head writer limits Meyers’ ability to appear in the show’s other sketches, but according to him, that’s just fine. “I cannot stress enough how little I liked putting on wigs,” he says. “They have to glue the wig to your temple and I would wake up every Sunday morning and it’d be all in my hair. It was awful. I don’t mind being behind the desk at all.” How long he remains behind the desk is up to him, as other career opportunities have presented themselves. Before he comes to Newport on July 20, Meyers will have a five-day stint as co-host to Kelly Ripa on “Live with Kelly.” He is reported to be the frontrunner as a permanent co-host to replace Regis Philbin on the longstanding morning show. (Meyers has neither confirmed nor denied whether he would leave SNL if he got the job.) If he were to get the morning show job, it would be a hard time to leave SNL as the 2012 presidential election season approaches. During election years, “Saturday Night Live’s” ratings skyrocket, as cast members and guests harpoon the political foibles of the season. Four years ago, Meyers was the writing force behind the sketches in which former SNL head writer Tina Fey famously portrayed Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. With this year’s election rapidly approaching, Meyers says he’s ready to write, but doesn’t know if this year’s elec-
tion can top the 2008 process. “I think 2008 may have been the best manna from heaven in terms of material, but once the debates start and the nation starts paying attention, then it’s better for our show. I think people really turn to us. We’re excited to see who Romney will pick as a running mate, because then we get to turn that into a sketch.” Meyers says his standup persona is similar to what you see on TV, but to him, “It’s nice that people can come to a live show and see that I have knees, ankles and legs. Being behind the desk, people tend to forget I have those.” Tickets can be purchased at www.NewportComedy.com,www. TicketMaster.com, or by phone at 800-745-3000, and in person at the Newport Yachting Center Box Office, 4 Commercial Wharf, Newport.

Striper Fishing Slows – What’s a Scup Cake?
Appetizers will be $4 at 4pm, $5 at 5pm, and $6 at 6pm!
By Tim Flaherty Last week’s full moon on the 4th of July brought some explosive fishing for local anglers which continued with the strong tide this past weekend. Next week the strong tides will wane, and bay temperatures will rise. With that, anglers can expect a lull in the action. The water temperature in the lower bay is currently 69.5 degrees and at the reef on the ocean side it is 67.5. Knowledgeable anglers know that big bass will be seeking cooler, deeper water on the ocean side soon. A plethora of rain bait, silversides, molted lobsters and scup had provided an abundant food supply to bass and blues on the prowl. Of late, the bass bite has been soft, and anglers will have to work harder for bass. Those fishing at night and just before dawn are still hitting good-sized fish. Stripers are often described as nocturnal feeders, and I believe this to be true. Anglers fishing Halfway Rock and South Prudence are still hitting keeper bass. The bass bite at Block Island continues to be excellent, also fishing at night or before dawn. David Cunningham of Middletown landed a 43-pound bass while fishing eels near Southwest Ledge. This was Cunningham’s first trophycategory bass. He also caught and released nearly two dozen thirtypounders during his trip. Congratulations on a fine catch! Sam Toland of Sam’s Bait and Tackle in Middletown reported that Frank Bryer of Newport experienced a big surprise on a recent trip to Seal Ledge. Big bass often take the presented bait and then slowly move away. Then, when the angler sets the hook, the bass really screams-off line – often a hundred yards of it, or more. Bryer had just such a hit last week as he watched the line peel off from his reel. After what seemed like an endless battle, an exhausted 6-foot blue shark appeared from the dark depths near the reef – not, as expected, a monster striper. The shark was released and slowly descended to the depths. Schools of jumbo scup continue to destroy the bass anglers’ bait while they fish at the reefs off Ocean Drive. A school of these

Quadfecta: It was a cod, striper, fluke and a sea bass for the Bete family last week. (Photo by Tim Flaherty) voracious feeders can destroy a pogy chunk in seconds, much like a school of piranhas. Big scup are all over the shallows on the reefs off Ocean Drive and at the Ram’s Head Lighthouse (Castle Hill). Twopound scup were common last week for many boat and shore anglers. Scup (Stenotomus chrysops), also known as Porgy, are an abundant species from Massachusetts to Cape Hatteras. Averaging in size from one-half to 2 pounds, they are known for their white-colored flesh and mild flavor when cooked, and are often compared to Tilapia, a freshwater species that are commercially raised in huge tanks in Asia. Scup have been harvested in our waters since Colonial times and continue to be popular with locals. Lynn Spingler, wife of Henry Spingler of Newport, recently sent me an exquisite recipe for scup. Using a family crab cake recipe, Lynn substituted scup for the crabmeat, dubbing her new creation, the “Scup Cake.” Upon trying it, I suggested she patent the idea immediately. Tight lines!
Scup Cakes
Makes 6 large cakes 1 pound cooked scup (or any other fish), picked through 2 heaping tbsp. prepared mayonnaise 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/2 heaping tsp. cayenne pepper (or 1 tsp. Tabasco sauce) 1/4 tsp. coarse salt 1/2 small onion, finely minced 1/2 tsp. powdered mustard 1 tbsp. melted butter 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1 cup (17) Saltine crackers, finely crushed, or tortilla chips 1/8 cup canola oil 2 tbsp. unsalted butter Tartar sauce Mustard sauce (equal parts chipotle mustard and mayonnaise, mixed together) Lemon wedges
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.
Directions 1. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, onion, mustard, butter and lemon juice. Mix in fish. Gently stir in crackers/chips. 2. Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop crab mixture into 6 portions onto a parchmentlined baking sheet. Press each scoop into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. 3. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scup cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with sauces and lemon wedges.

Using the ocean and his characters as metaphors, Sheehan weaves a faith-based tale of stewardship of the environment. ur darkest hour to see the light of the harbor.

Osprey Chicks Taking Wing
Redwood Poets Group Forum for poets who are currently writing and who seek critique, new members welcome, Redwood Library, 50 Bellevue Ave., 1:30 p.m., 847-0292, RedwoodLibrary.org.
By Jack Kelly
The three Osprey chicks in the nest located at Toppa Field/Freebody Park are about to enter a new stage in their young lives. Since hatching approximately two months ago, they have grown quickly under the watchful eyes of their parents. Almost the same size as the adult birds, they can be seen perched close to the edge of the nest. This scene is being repeated at the other four Osprey nests across Aquidneck Island. Over the past two weeks the adult birds have been leading their young in wing stretching and strengthening exercises in preparation for their first flights. The juveniles have been observed rapidly stretching and flapping their almost five foot wingspans as they answer the instinctive urge to fly. It will not be long before they are taking short, tentative trips around the field to test their wings in flight. Once they have learned to fly, the fledglings will follow their parents to nearby ponds, beaches and marshes. Ospreys are the only birds of prey that eat fish exclusively. The

Under the watchful eye of the male adult, the three Osprey juveniles peer over the edge of their nest. (Photos by Jack Kelly) young raptors will learn to hover, spot fish and plunge towards the water with open talons lined with spicules (retractable barbs), in an effort to seize their prey. This species can become completely submerged while diving for fish and still be able to fly away with their prey. The bird’s feathers are close and firm and slightly oily, so that it can plunge into the water without becoming soaked. This may be a dangerous time as the young birds may damage a wing or become disoriented and drown during this learning process. These are major steps in the juveniles’ maturation. In less than three months the fledglings will make their first migration to South America and they must be able to survive on their own. This will require the young Ospreys to hone their flying and fishing skills in the weeks to come.
To identify the juveniles from the adults use these simple observation techniques. The young have a white and brown checker-board pattern to their upper plumage, with white below, while the adults have a fairly solid brown plumage above and white below. The adults have bright yellow eyes while the young birds have reddish-orange eyes. Nesting Notes: Shorebird migration is underway. Shorebirds that failed to mate, suffered a failed nest, or lost their young to predators, will be passing through our area. Due to the short nesting season in the arctic region, where millions of shorebirds breed and nest, there is not enough time for these species to re-nest. Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast who enjoys sharing his experiences with others.
