Parking Provides Work Experience By Jonathan Clancy Between meters, lots, and street, there are many ways to park in Newport, but none gives back to the community quite like the nonprofit lots at BankNewport and Citizens Bank in Washington Square. The BankNewport lot has been working in conjunction with Washington Square Services Corporation, a job-training arm of the Church Community Housing Corporation at 50 Washington Square, for over a decade. “This is not a money-making opportunity,” said program director Debbie Johnson. “It basically gives people opportunities for jobs.” In 2008, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center and the Citizens Bank branch collaborated to help provide jobs for teens and others. The bank donates the parking lot to the center from April to October. “It started as a way for the bank to give back to the center by employing some of our teens,” said Marilyn Warren, the MLK center’s executive director. In 2011, the program expanded to include hiring some clients of the center’s breakfast program and food pantry. The program currently employs eight people who typically work in four-hour shifts for a total of 20 – 30 hours a week making above minimum wage. The money generated from the lot goes back into the programs and services of the MLK Community Center, such as their breakfast program, which typically feeds 60 people a day. Last year, the
Just weeks after he was confirmed as clerk of Rhode Island's District Court, Newport Mayor Stephen C. Waluk, an 11-year council veteran, has decided to resign his post effective at the end of next week's council meeting. Waluk, who previously had announced his decision not to seek re-election in the fall, said on Wednesday that after further examination, he believed it best to step aside now so as to not cast a shadow over his new role as a senior administrative employee of the state's judiciary branch. Serving out the remainder of his term will be former Councilor Stephen R. Coyne, who, as the fifthhighest vote-getter in the city's AtLarge race, narrowly lost out on a fourth term in 2010. Waluk notified the city of his decision in a letter appearing on the council's July 25 docket.

Blues Cafe Gets OK to Expand By Tom Shevlin

(Photo by Jonathan Clancy) parking program grossed $16,000. “For us, that’s a large grant,” Warren said. “Most grants come in around $5,000, the largest being $25,000. So, this is one of the few sustaining ways we have to generate income.” During banking hours, attendants advise bank customers using the lot to get their ticket validated to avoid being charged, and also inform them of the 30-minute time limit. Once the bank closes for the day, all spots are available.
Parking prices fluctuate. “We pay attention to what the other lots are charging,” Warren said. “Usually it’s $5, maybe $10 if there is a Gulls game. On a busy weekend, we charge between $20 and $25.” Hadrian Friend, a minister at Community Baptist Church who is also an assistant case manager at Turn Around Ministries, manages the parking lot. Friend said, “Our employees are very motivated by having a job. It raises their self-es-

teem.” Hadrian handles all the employee training, and visits the lot at least three times a day to ensure operations run smoothly. There have been many success stories. Several employees have gone on to find full-time employment. “It helps them gain work experience and build a resume with references,” said Warren. “We would love to expand this program, and find other parking lots, because we can find the workers.”
City Council members voted on Wednesday, July 12 in favor of an amended application to allow the Newport Blues Cafe to install an outdoor patio in the parking lot adjacent to the popular Thames Street nightspot. The approval, however, includes several conditions limiting the size and scope of the patio. It also came over the objection of neighbors who late last month turned out in force to oppose a similar application in front of the Zoning Board of Review. The original proposal, which required a special use permit and a parking variance, allowed for the installation of up to 20 tables plus an outdoor bar and grill, and would have permitted up to 100 people to congregate in the open-air space. According to an application on file with City Hall, the patio would be located in the parking lot between the Blues Cafe and Sovereign Bank, would only be open when the bank is closed, and each night it would be disassembled and moved indoors. Owners Kate and James Quinn have said that the proposal stemmed from an increasingly difficult economic climate. According to James Quinn, a retired longtime Newport Police offi-

When Kate McLean was growing up in the small village of Hartsfield in southeast England, maps played a large role in her life. After all, it was in that same village that author A.A. Milne wrote “Winnie the Pooh,” creating a map of the Hundred Acre Wood and Pooh Corner – the imaginary landscape where he set his children’s classic book. Today, McLean has become a map-maker of her own, but not in the typical fashion. Her newest map of Newport is a “smell map” – the first of its kind in the country. McLean describes her “smell map” as a portrait of a city created by bottling essences of smells found there, and creating a visual map based on where those smells are located. She has already created smell maps of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Paris, and will debut her Newport map for several weeks as a static exhibit at the Gateway Visitor Center from Aug. 19 through Sept. 9. McLean, who is a graphic designer and teacher, says that when she designs a map, she removes all geographical data, leaving no street names, no buildings – nothing. “All you are left with is a view of where these smells in the city originate and which ways the smells tend to shift based on the prevailing winds,” she says. “From there, you try to work out where you are in the city.” To capture the smells for her Newport smell map, McLean collected samples of smells that she will bottle to present as part of the exhibit. Visitors will smell what is in the bottles and then will try to figure out where in Newport those smells are located. She has spent several weeks in Newport this summer collecting data, with many walks along the city’s beaches, Cliff Walk, harbor front, Ballard Park, and other locations. She says some will be pleasant scents while others may strike the olfactory system in an unpleasant way. McLean admits it’s something that’s never been tried here before, but adds that the support she has received from the Newport community has been overwhelmingly positive. “Newport is a good-size city to work with,” she says. “The friendliness here has been amaz-

Not every scent can be a good one. ing. I presented something that was funky and weird, and everyone has been interested and wanted to help. It’s a completely different attitude here compared to other cities and it’s that adventurous nature here that makes it work.” According to McLean, the purpose of the smell map is twofold: First, for a tourist audience to become more aware of the smells they will encounter when they walk around town, and second, for the community. “For them, it’s interesting to look, smell, and know where these smells originate,” she says. “What I really want is for the people of Newport to actually identify the smells that they think represent their city,” she says. “In doing so, it creates stories that I want to collect that would reaffirm how Newport smells. When you are aware of the scents as you walk around, and then go home and suddenly smell something that reminds you of Newport, it creates a story. It makes you think a little bit more about a

(Photo by Meg O’Neil) sense that we don’t use so much.” With all the smells that Newport has to offer, McLean gives the city’s overall scent a thumbs up. For those who want a first-hand experience of what goes into smellmapping, McLean is leading several guided tours around the city. The smell walks will take place on Friday, July 20 at 10:30 a.m. and on Tuesday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m. Both of the walks will start at the Newport Visitors Center on America’s Cup Ave. McLean invites the public to complete her online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/WL2ZRB9.

Primary to Determine Assembly Seat By Tom Shevlin The race for General Assembly District 73 just became a two-man contest. According to the city's canvassing board, Marquise Rivon, the lone Republican to declare his candidacy for the seat being vacated by J. Russell Jackson, didn't submit the 50 signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot. Nomination papers for federal, state, and local offices, were due in to canvassing boards, July 13. Rivon's withdrawal leaves Zoning Board member Marvin Abney and former lawmaker David R. Carlin, Jr. free to square off in a Democrat primary in September which will now determine the race. Rivon was not available for comment. In an interview in May, Carlin said that he's hopeful that his experience on Smith Hill, where he served from 1981-92, most notably as the senate majority leader, will translate well with voters. "I think I could be useful at this time in the state's history," he said.
Abney, a career military officer, says that he plans on focussing on a range of issues, from constituent care and making sure that constituency in the 73rd district are fully represented to education, the state's financial condition, and veteran's affairs. He also said that he'll be focussing on engaging a new crop of voters in the political process. Carlin and Abney will meet each other in the statewide primary on Sept. 11. In other election news: n Each of the seven declared candidates for Newport's School Committee has successfully submitted nominating papers, meaning that barring any last minute write-in votes, the following Newport residents will make up the next school board: Rebecca Bolan, Sandra Flowers, Jo Eva Gaines, Robert J. Leary, Thomas Phelan, Dr. Charles Shoemaker, all incumbents; and former school administrator Robert Power. n In the race for City Council, a total of eight declared candidates have successfully submitted their nomination papers. In the At-Large
Coyne Misses Signature Mark By Tom Shevlin Despite the latest development in the race for City Council, Stephen R. Coyne, who served three terms on the council before coming up short in his 2010 re-election bid, has failed to qualify for the November ballot. Coyne, who declared his intent to return to public office following a two-year absence, was dismayed by the news. "I'm very disappointed about it," he said on Tuesday. "When you're out getting signatures, you ask people if they're registered voters in the city, and you just have to rely on the fact that they either know that they are, or maybe they misunderstood the question…the unfortunate part is they couldn't be validated in the system." "When you're handing in 212 signatures, you expect some to drop out…but not that many," he added. According to Canvassing Clerk Rick O'Neill, Coyne had submitted 212 signatures, but after a review, a total of 22 were determined to be ineligible. Per the rules of the Newport Canvassing Authority, in order to have qualified for the ballot, At-Large candidates need to submit no less than 200 valid signatures by registered Newport voters. The signature deadline was Friday, July 13. But the race might not be over for Coyne, who added that he's "seriously considering" a write-in campaign. "When I announced my
candidacy, I know that I had a significant number of people coming up to me telling me that they were very happy that I was getting into the race." "It will require a lot of work," he said, "but it's not out of the realm of possibility." If he's to succeed, he'll need to best at least two others of the five announced and certified candidates, including incumbents Jeanne-Marie Napolitano, Naomi Neville, Henry F. Winthrop; and challengers Donald Boucher and Michael T. Farley. He'll also likely benefit from the news that his former colleague, Mayor Stephen C. Waluk, will be resigning from the council effective this month. As the fifth- highest vote-getter in the 2010 AtLarge council election, Coyne is due to assume a seat on the council upon Waluk's departure. The opportunity to serve for the next three months before the election as an incumbent could boost the chances of Coyne pulling off what is normally considered a political unicorn – an event so rare as to be nearly mythological. It's also worth noting that according to the City Charter, "the petition of each candidate for ward Councilor, Councilor-at-Large, and School Committee shall be signed by not less than (50) qualified electors of the City." Whether Coyne decides to challenge the Canvassing Authority's ruling on those grounds also bears watching.
race, five names will appear on the ballot: incumbents Jeanne-Marie Napolitano, Naomi Neville, Henry F. Winthrop; and challenger Michael T. Farley. In the First Ward, incumbent Charles Y. Duncan will face off against political newcomer Marco T. Camacho. Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin and Third Ward Councilwoman Kathryn E. Leonard are both running unopposed. Former Councilor Stephen R. Coyne, who had announced his candidacy last month, came up 10 signatures shy (see accompanying story below.) n After being penalized by the state Board of Elections for failing to submit a string of campaign finance reports on time, Coyne reported this week that he has settled with the agency and expects to pay the total sum owned by September. n Rhode Island Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed will have a challenger this year, as both the incumbent and Republican Geoff Cook have secured their places on the ballot for the state's District 13 senate seat.
Mayor
CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 At the time of his appointment, Waluk had said that he didn't believe his new position would present any imminent problems to his elected duties. However, on Wednesday, he said he recently learned of an employment policy specific to the judiciary which would preclude him from holding public office. Coyne heaped praise on this former colleague. "I know that he's always worked really hard for the city," he said, adding that he's sorry to see him step down. "I'm honored to fill that seat, and I'm honored to fill his unexpired term," Coyne said. "And I will try to do that as well as I did for the first six years that I was on the council." He continued, "Anyone who ever runs for office – at least in this city according to the charter – needs to always keep in mind that even if they don't win, if they are the next highest vote getter that they have this responsibility to the city to fulfill that obligation." From a political perspective, Waluk's decision to step down, and Coyne's ascension back onto the council, could have significant ripple effects on the November election. For no one is that more clear than for Coyne, who after declaring his intent to run again for council last month learned on Monday that due to a shortage of valid nominating signatures his name would not appear on the ballot. In a normal election scenario, Coyne's bid for a fourth term on the council would have likely ended there. But on Tuesday, upon hearing of Waluk's decision, Coyne was buoyed, saying that he was seriously considering mounting an aggressive write-in campaign. And with a foothold over his two non-incumbent challengers – Mike Farley and Donald Boucher – through his unexpected trip back to the council, it may not be outlandish to think that Newport could see its first writein elected candidate in memory. Meanwhile, Waluk's departure is also expected to set off a race to fill the mayor's post. That matter is expected to be settled at the end of Wednesday's council meeting. Councilor Henry F. Winthrop is considered among councilors to be Waluk's likeliest successor to serve as Newport's mayor and council chair.

Cliff Walk Restrooms A $175,000 grant through the Department of Environmental Management has been included in the state budget through the advocacy of Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed of Newport. The grant will be used to install permanent restroom facilities at the Narragansett Ave./Forty Steps location. The Cliff Walk Commission will be reviewing plans with the City of Newport but they will be high-strength, vandal-resistant facilities, handicap accessible, easily cleaned, and will conform with the character and nearby architecture of the area. “The Cliff Walk is an historic national treasure which attracts visitors from across the globe,” said Paiva Weed. “Adding these accommodations will make visitors more comfortable and help them more fully enjoy their experience here. That benefits our tourism economy, while it also improves the quality of life in the area.” Presently, visitors to the 3.5-milelong Cliff Walk have only one choice: porta-johns. These facilities, located on Narragansett Avenue near the “Forty Steps” access point to Cliff Walk, have been called “unsightly and out of character” for the natural and gilded-age grandeur of the area. They also emit odors and can exceed capacity by day’s end. They are only available during the peak season, leaving no facilities present for much of the year. The porta-johns have been a target for vandals, who have sprayed them with graffiti, tipped them over, and even thrown them over the edge. John Hirschboeck, Secretary of the Cliff Walk Commission, observed, “Over 800,000 visitors travel Newport’s Cliff Walk each year – Rhode Island’s most visited attraction. And yet we’ve never been able to secure funding for permanent restrooms along the walk. The Cliff Walk Commission is delighted to receive this grant that will bring ‘relief’ to many.”

For What It’s Worth
Report from Brimfield. Close to Sturbridge, Mass. is the little town of Brimfield where three times a year they hold an outdoor antiques extravaganza. July can either be too hot or too dry or too rainy; seldom is it ever just right, except this year was perfect, at least the day we attended: last Wednesday. Vintage ash trays on stand: About half the dealers $150.00 each show up to sell as it is the slowest of the three shows with the others in May and September. Dealers were there to sell and bargaining is easy, just show an interest and they will take at least 20% off the marked price, then the real haggling begins. Booths offer just about everything from a period Tiffany lamp to a life-size model of Marilyn Monroe. It is still strange to drive in on Rt. 20 past acres and acres of decimated forest caused by the tornado of a couple of years ago which narrowly missed Brimfield. If you haven’t been there, plan to visit the September show. We will be there. — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques (The Drawing Room offers free appraisals by appointment.

Talk On the Hessian Occupation of Newport The Newport Artillery Company of Newport will sponsor a slide-talk by author-historian Walter Schroder, Saturday, July 21 at 6 p.m. at their 23 Clarke Street headquartersmuseum. He will discuss the role of Hessian troops who accompanied British forces in the occupation of Newport and Rhode Island from 1776-1779. The talk will explore: who the Hessians were, why they came to America, whether they were mercenaries or auxiliaries, and what role they played in the Battle of Rhode Island. Research for this project was supported by a grant from the Rhode Island Committee for the Humanities. The presentation is combined with a tour of the Company’s Museum for which voluntary donations will be accepted. A book signing and refreshments will follow.

Fire Prevention Message: According to a recent study by the National Fire Protection Association, the smoke alarms didn’t work in three out of every ten smoke alarm equipped homes that had fires. That’s a frightening statistic. Especially when you consider the fact that 80 percent of all U.S. fire deaths occur in the home. Test your smoke alarms today. —Information provided by FM Wayne Clark, ADSFM

EDITORIAL An Ill Wind in Portsmouth
D
ispatches from Portsmouth are that the town is struggling over what to do with its oft-praised wind turbine at the high school. When it was first erected three years ago, the $3 million turbine was heralded as an important step towards bringing down municipal energy costs and was seen by proponents as a watershed moment in Aquidneck Island's commitment to renewable energy. It is now serving as a cautionary tale for local governments whose good intentions can sometimes lead to unintended, and expensive, consequences. According to reports, since it went online in 2009, the turbine had saved the town some $400,000 in utility costs with only minimal disruption in service. However, now the town finds itself saddled with a $460,000 repair bill, and the very real prospect that the 1.5 megawatt turbine will be rendered – at least temporarily – an unfortunate piece of sculpture rather than a beacon of environmentalism. The point here is not to cast doubt on the merits of green technology, or more generally to discourage our elected officials from taking initiatives which the community supports. It is, however, important that we keep in mind that even with the best projections, it's imperative that our public officials treat the public's money as if it were their own, and always look beyond the spreadsheet.
Young Newporters Take Heed
Mayor Stephen C. Waluk's decision to step down from the city council as early as next week will bring to an abrupt end a political career that by all accounts was meteoric. As the city's youngest elected mayor, Waluk demonstrated a keen political knack and deep understanding of process, procedure, and policy – traits which we're sure he'll bring to his new position as clerk of the state's district court. Armed with a quick wit and sharp tongue, Waluk's style was distinct, his meetings seemingly conducted by metronome. In the end, Waluk will have served 11 years on the council, including two terms as the titular head of the city, and before that, three years on the city's Zoning Board of Review. His political career started young – he was still a teenager when he was appointed to the Zoning Board, and 21 when he was elected to the council, and 29 when he was chosen as mayor. This year, when the opportunity came for Newporters to declare their intent to run for office, far too few decided to do so. There currently exist a number of vacancies on the city's various boards and commissions, and we dare say, we're in need of new blood. Not everyone is made to sit on the council, but there are plenty of other opportunities to contribute to the direction of our community. If you think you have something to offer, then please, visit the city's website, click on "Boards and Commissions," and fill out an application. Who knows, you might wind up as mayor one day.
LETTER
Close Bars at 4 a.m. To the Editor: In last week’s editorial, “Balancing Needs – Residents v. Business,” your suggestion to stagger closing times may be worthy, but is not likely to be the answer. People will merely hop to the place(s) that remain open. And it is certainly unfair to the merchants who must close early. The only answer is to follow the lead of New York City and allow es-
tablishments to stay open through 4 a.m. This way, people will "trickle" out into the streets over several hours. This also allows people to plan their nights accordingly, including workers who get off the 3 - 11 p.m. shift to go home, shower and go out. Remember, the whole world does not live on a 9-5 shift.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enough with the Garlic To the Editor; Even more delightful than the name Lynn Spingler has given to her new creation, Scup Cakes, is the absence of garlic in that recipe. Crab meat and scup are, in my opinion, mild and sweet and can be overwhelmed by adding garlic to any recipe including them. The number of restaurants in Newport that add garlic to their crab cakes is, I think, a majority. There may be more garlic used in Newport restaurants than in the
entire town of Taormina, Sicily. What I say is: Let them eat cake – Lynn Spingler’s Scup Cake, that is. And, yes, I know that garlic is touted as the health food of the century, but it is possible to live a long and healthy life and even enlightened life without that bulb. To each his own. I can hardly wait to make Lynn Spingler’s recipe. A thousand thanks. Shelley D. Graham Newport
HDC Approves Restoration of Historic 'Blue Garden' By Tom Shevlin
An iconic landscape, once celebrated as the crowning achievement of America's Gilded Age gardens, is being restored. When it was dedicated in August of 1913, Blue Garden took its place at the pinnacle of landscape design. Crafted by Frederick Law Olmsted, the garden had been commissioned as part of the sprawling Arthur Curtiss James estate on Ocean Drive known as Beacon Hill House. However, when the main house was lost to fire in 1967, the estate was sold, divided, and redeveloped. Now, a trust led by heiress Dorrance "Dodo" Hamilton, is hoping to restore a piece of that estate, and is endeavoring to bring back in its full scale, the James' Blue Garden. On Tuesday, members of the Historic District Commission voted to approve an application to demolish an existing home, built in 1981, that had been positioned in the heart of the Blue Garden, and approved – in concept – a proposal to construct a carriage house to service a new 7,500-sq. ft. home to be built on an adjacent lot, also owned by a trust controlled by Hamilton. If the project moves forward as planned, it will be the latest in a string of historic restoration efforts led by Hamilton, an heiress to the Campbell's Soup fortune, and longtime Newport summer resident. Among the other projects she's spearheaded have been the restoration of the Swiss Village Foundation (another James property) and Wildacre, the Ocean Drive estate designed for the brother of Fred-
erick Law Olmsted Jr. She's also been integrally involved in efforts to restore the Stanford White Casino Theater and the Hamilton Gallery on the campus of Salve Regina University. Property records show that the 5,400-sq. ft. home, which was completed in 1981, was sold in April for $2 million to Hamilton through a private trust. James, a mining and railroad magnate, was Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, and at the time, his estate was the largest in Newport, situated over 125 acres of rocky outcroppings which afforded sweeping views of Rhode Island Sound. In addition to a massive main house which seemed to rise out of the rocky hillside, the estate was comprised of three villas, the Swiss Village, and a boathouse. The Blue Garden occupied a unique place in the social fabric of Newport, as each July 4th, the gates were swung open and the public was invited in. Leslie Donovan, an historic preservation expert, testified that not only does the Blue Garden contribute to the "cultural and social fabric of the community," it is also a contributing element in the Newport Historic District and the Ocean Drive National Historic Landmark District. Arleyn Levee, a nationally recognized landscape designer and expert on the Olmsted catalogue, also said that resurrecting the Blue Garden would be a significant achievement of historic preservation. When asked by Commissioner John Drottos whether she believed the garden could be restored without demolishing the existing building, she replied with an emphatic, "No."
Planning Board OKs Salve Dining Hall By Tom Shevlin The Planning Board signed off on an application by Salve Regina University on Monday to expand its dining hall facility at Miley Hall by an additional 3,000 square feet. According to university officials, the proposal, which calls for a two-story addition to the building located at 2 Ochre Point Ave., would allow the university to expand its dining options and better position the school to compete with other institutions of a similar scale. Plans on file at City Hall show a number of improvements being made to the 33,000-sq. ft. building, most notably the addition of a new 100-seat dining hall on the second floor, expanded bookstore on the first floor, new student lounge with work stations and storage, and administrative office space. Board members voiced no objections to the plan, finding it within the bounds of the city's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and noting that the building would not require a change of use. However, before the project can proceed, the university will need to receive approvals from the city's Historic District Commission and Zoning Board of Review. If approved, it would be the latest in a string of improvement projects undertaken by the 2,000-student university, which despite its humble beginnings in 1934, has emerged as one of the city's driving economic engines. Also receiving approval from Planning Board members was an application for a minor subdivision at 36 Cliff Ave. Under the plan, the property, which is located adjacent to an historic cemetery, would be carved into three separate lots. It was found in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, with the condition that an easement be carved out along the northern property line of the proposed Lot 1 in order to ensure access to the aforementioned cemetery.

How Social Media Changed the Folk Festival By Meg O’Neil When it was announced in April that the Newport Folk Festival had sold all of its 20,000 tickets three months in advance of its July 28-29 performances, music fans around the world were stunned. Never before had the iconic weekend festival sold out so fast. By contrast, last year’s festival sold out three weeks before the event. In retrospect, the sell-out might have been predicted. In February, early-bird tickets sold out in 45 minutes – and those tickets, which made up 65 percent of total ticket sales, were sold even before a lineup was announced. With a long history of showcasing famous singers and songwriters, the Folk Festival has always been popular – but what caused this year’s festival to sell out as quickly as it did? Festival producer Jay Sweet says the answer can be boiled down to two words: Social media. “Social media has changed the game, because it’s an ongoing conversation,” he told Newport This Week. “I think a lot of people think it’s easy to use social media as a megaphone, but we don’t do that. We’ve created an online family where we can reach out one-onone to our supporters.”
With daily updates on the Folk Festival’s Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Turntable FM media sites, its producers have created a near-constant flow of shared information with online followers. “People have realized that we’re listening to them,” Sweet said. “Our social media isn’t solely about the weekend at the end of July. It’s about a community of fans that we talk to throughout the year about upcoming artists and past bands. We haven’t really done anything different this year, but social media has just finally, organically, built upon itself and gotten exponentially bigger.” If you were to add up all of the online fans that follow the Newport Folk Festival through their multiple online outlets, the number would exceed the capacity of Fort Adams. That's a point of pride for Sweet. “We are the original festival,” he says. “It’s a 'bucket list' thing to do for artists and the fans. So even though we’re small compared to a lot of the other festivals around the country, it’s a badge of honor for fans to say, ‘I’ve been to the Newport Folk Festival.’” For would-be concert-goers who waited too long, festival tickets have become highly sought after, and ticket-scalping has become a major issue. Online websites such
as Craigslist show Folk Festival tickets being advertised for hundreds of dollars above their market value. And there's no way of knowing if a ticket is real or not. Several recent postings have warned of con artists promising tickets that turn out to be fake. To combat that, Folk Festival organizers have taken to their Facebook and Twitter accounts, urging fans not to buy the tickets from third-party websites, forcing scalpers to lower their prices. In another sign of changing times, the festival has created a Smartphone app to help fans stay connected once inside Fort Adams. The app includes event alerts and can notify the user when and on what stages their favorite artists are set to perform. It also features a map of Fort Adams as well as artist profiles and the latest updates from the Festival’s Twitter feed. Sweet says that the newly launched app has already been downloaded more than 20,000 times. This year’s festival won’t end when the last verse is sung and the last string is strummed on Sunday, July 29. Instead, it will live on, online. “This festival was built by word of mouth,” says Sweet. “It’s always been a place to tell stories – and now social media has allowed that to continue.”

FROM THE GARDEN The Best Summer Salads!
If the soil naturally contains aluminum and is acidic (low pH) the color of the hydrangea will automatically turn toward shades of blue and/or purple.
GARDEN NOTES:
This has been a banner hydrangea year. Every color, shape, and size has bloomed. They are superb looking and a lovely addition to any home landscape or garden. Endless Summer is the name of the deep, strikingly blue hydrangea that is plentiful on Aquidneck Island and in Jamestown. Annabelle has the fluffy greenish white, snowflake-looking flowers. Varieties of Oak leaf hydrangea are very strong and have huge white, conical flowers that turn to a gentle pink in autumn. Limelight is anoth-
er monster variety of hydrangea. Its nickname is Lamb’s Head, because that’s just what the blooms look like. They are conical in shape and turn a rich pink color in the fall. This is by far one of the fastest-growing flowering shrubs for our area. If you purchase a Limelight in a gallon container, within two years it will be close to five feet tall. If you feed it well in the early spring and again in mid-summer, your reward will be a huge display of “lambs’ heads” that look great in a vase. This hydrangea is great for drying as it keeps its shape.

This is a ‘steamy’ summer so far. With little rain, and very hot days, cool meals and cold salads for dinner or luncheon are a must. If your repertoire of summer salad fare is a bit tired, these ingredients from the garden and farmers' market will perk up your taste buds. There is no question that cold poached salmon will be on many a menu during July and August. Just a dollop of ‘green sauce’ and a great salad complete this summertime meal. Cold grilled steak that has been thinly sliced accompanied by a cold horseradish and sour cream sauce is delicious! The addition of one of these fabulous summer salads is just what a cold steak dinner needs. Summer is the time we really look forward to fresh vegetables from the garden or at the farmers' market. The vegetables need to
be sliced, julienned, or chopped. Sometimes, no cooking is involved at all, and those salads are the best. You do not have to be in the kitchen if you own a small grill. Grilling outdoors does not count as ‘cooking’ as you are not in a hot, un-airconditioned kitchen! Fruit makes salads more interesting. Besides apples and grapes that we see in a ‘Waldorf’ salad recipe, the trend toward the addition of fresh berries to your salad is simply delightful. We all wait for this time of year for luscious summer salads. These will not disappoint.

Lemon-Thai Basil Shrimp Salad Serves 6
Ingredients: 3 lbs., unpeeled, cooked large shrimp 1 large red onion sliced 1 large red bell pepper finely chopped 1 large yellow bell pepper finely chopped 16 cups fresh salad greens (yes sixteen!) 1/2 cup chopped ‘Thai’ basil, (it has a hint of curry in the leaves) or standard Italian basil Lemon Thai Basil Marinade: 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 cup red wine vinegar 2 tbsp. grated lemon rind 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. tabasco 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard 2 minced garlic cloves 1/2 tsp. salt Whisk these ingredients together in a large glass bowl. Under cold, running water, peel and devein shrimp. Place them in a colander and pat dry. Do not peel under hot water or you will prematurely start the cooking process of the shrimp. Place the dry shrimp in the marinade. The vinegar and lemon in the marinade will cook the shrimp. Place the bowl with the shrimp in the vegetable marinade in the fridge over night.
Fresh Lemon Vinaigrette: 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 clove fresh garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste Whisk these ingredients together until they emulsify. Set aside. Strain the shrimp and vegetables from the marinade. Retain both shrimp and vegetables. Toss out the marinade. Your shrimp will be cooked and ready. Place on each dinner plate a good-sized mound of greens. Place the shrimp and vegetables on top of the lettuce. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the shrimp, and lettuce, and garnish with the chopped Thai Basil. An extra twist of freshly ground pepper finishes this great summer salad. Crisp cheese sticks are a perfect match with this salad. They are optional, but awfully good. They add a bit of crunch. Cold shrimp in summer or anytime seems to be a crowd-pleaser. This salad is really an entrée or if served on very small plates can be a lovely appetizer. The recipe serves 6-8 and is a perfect salad for a summer luncheon. The best part of this recipe is that it is made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight.
Orange, Fennel, and Avocado Salad
Simple, easy and oh-so-good describes this most refreshing salad. If you are in a pinch for time, but still must make a trip to the supermarket or farmers' market, visit the produce department, and purchase a bulb of fresh fennel. If you like the taste of anise, you will like fennel. This salad will serve four. Ingredients: 1½ tbsp. wine vinegar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 navel orange 1 firm but ripe, large avocado 1 medium-sized fennel bulb Cut and peel the orange. Carefully remove all of its white skin. Cut the orange into thin slices. Cut the round slices in half. Cut the fennel bulb in half and remove its stalks, and one half inch of its thick base. Cut the fennel into matchsticks. Halve, pit, and peel the avocado. Carefully remove the halved avocados from their skins. Cut the avocado into long slices. Whisk the wine vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a wooden salad bowl. Add the fennel, orange slices and toss. Arrange the avocado slices on the salad plates in a semi-circular pattern. Place the fennel and orange in vinaigrette sauce next to the avocado slices. Drizzle a bit more of the vinaigrette over the avocado. It is a refreshing, lovely, salad. The creaminess of the avocado mixes well with the crisp texture of the fennel. The tangy flavor of the oranges completes this cool summer salad.
Very Berry Salad Serves 6-8
This salad is perfect for getting children to enjoy a summer salad. As children tend to move things around their plates to avoid greens, the addition of strawberries or blueberries not only make the salad enjoyable, but dinner time as well. Ingredients: 8 cups of lettuce and greens of your choice (arugula and radicchio are great for texture and color 2 cups of fresh blueberries (or) 1½ cups sliced strawberries 1/2 cup of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or goat cheese 1/4 cup chopped pecans Mix all ingredients carefully in a large wooden salad bowl. Add the dressing of your choice and toss again. Given that this salad includes a soft cheese, a recommendation would be to select very light vinaigrette. This salad goes very well with cold, sliced, grilled, steak.

An Old Building Filled With New Life Jonathan Clancy Within a few hundred yards of Touro Synagogue, the country’s oldest synagogue, another Jewish congregation worshipped for nearly four decades until the mid1980s. Sold to Newporter William Heydt for possible real estate development, the building located at 7 Central Street was constructed in 1945 as the Ahavas Achim Synagogue. The edifice, now void of pews or stained glass, is home for two congregations, the One New Man Community and New Life International Ministries. New Life International Ministries, run by Pastor William Cruz, is an extension of his Pentecostal Parish in
Pawtucket. Cruz said that people from Newport were traveling to his Pawtucket parish, and there was a need for Spanish-speaking services in Newport. He began preaching in his house at first, before moving the services to a hotel, and subsequently relocating to Central Street four years ago. Originally from New York, Cruz studied at New Life Academy in Providence, and also in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Cruz is a cancer survivor who has battled through eleven surgeries and various other treatments. Despite this struggle, Cruz looks strong as an ox while leading his parishioners through praise.
Services are Sundays at 6:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. The music is lively, and no translator is needed to see that Pastor Cruz speaks with deep passion, as his tone and body language speak volumes. The same historic building is home to One New Man Community, founded on June 11, 2011 by the husband and wife team of Don and Esther Boucher. One New Man is a non-denominational community. Don is an ordained minister with Apostolic Covenant Ministries and works full time as a social worker for Housing First Rhode Island.

02840 Changes Honor the Old and the New By Virginia Treherne-Thomas
We are a resort town, and our ticket for tourism is the fact that we preserve and protect what we have. We sparkled on NBC this summer, and the country saw a town with history. But that does not mean we can’t value our future, and with that comes change. Why not have a significant piece of modern architecture standing alongside an old church. It’s an ode to the old and the new. Our little old Newport Hospital, founded in 1873, is looking up-to-the-minute, and last Thursday night, a lot of people turned up at the summer gala to support changes happening there. Thanks go to Suzie and Jay Schochet and Kathy and Amo Ross for co-chairing this spectacular event raising money for the hospital to purchase much-needed monitoring equipment for the emergency department. Everyday better monitors are needed for children, infants and adults with a wide variety of illnesses and injuries. For the needs of Newporters there is the Noreen Stonor Drexel birthing center, diagnostic imaging, occupational health services, the Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center, including inpatient, outpatient, cardiac, pulmonary and cancer rehabilitation, an inpatient mental health program, a wound care center and community based primary care offices staffed by salaried physicians. They are currently completing renovations to their interventional radiology department. Change is there ensuring that this hospital will be at its best for its community. The surfers showed up last weekend to bring about change. First
they stopped at Rough Point’s Surf Fest to see classic vintage boards and classic footage of Newport surfers, and then they headed to the Surfriders Foundation Luau at Easton’s Beach to support learning about the dangers of plastic. This organization is a powerful activist network that started on the West Coast caring about environmental issues that affect our coastline, and here they are in Newport bringing awareness to keep our waters clean.
Rosie Warburton Next week Rosie Warburton is reaching far back to perform a healing sound journey to benefit the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. Her “Midsummer Night Music” supports their afterschool programs centering on selfexpression and creativity as pathways for empowering women. It’s on Wednesday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at The Briarpatch, 115 Ellery Ave., Middletown. And, this Friday, it’s “move it for the movies!” Join Andrea van Beuren and Nancy Donahoe at their summer fundraiser for newportFILM at the Tennis Hall of Fame, and see Rory Kennedy’s new movie “Ethel.” Let’s honor the old and the new, the spiritual, the caring, the coastlines, new movies and of course…. change.

'Queen of Mean' on Comedy Stage By Meg O’Neil There’s an old adage that says, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” That advice doesn’t resonate with comedy’s lovable Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli, who will return to the Newport Comedy Series on Sunday, July 22 as the headliner for the Newport Summer Comedy Series. An equal opportunity offender, Lampanelli caught the public eye in 2002 when she appeared on Comedy Central's the New York Friars' Club Roast of Chevy Chase. With multiple roasts now under her belt, the insult comic has risen to fame as one of the top standups in the country.
TO GO: Newport Comedy Series
Tickets can be purchased online at NewportComedy.com, TicketMaster.com, or by phone at 800-745-3000, and in person at the Newport Yachting Center Box Office, 4 Commercial Wharf, Newport.
Lampanelli was most recently seen on NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” where she went toe-totoe with other celebrities to raise money for charities of their choice. Viewers saw Lampanelli’s strong, work ethic and her lack of sympathy for celebrities who wanted to be in the limelight. While she didn’t win, Lampanelli placed in the top four contestants, but she says her time on the show was in no way fun. “It was horrible,” she laughs. “I’m thrilled I did it, but it was the most torturous, hardest work I’ve done in my life … there was not one second of fun.” Never one to shy away from expressing her opinion, Lampanelli made headlines a few weeks ago when she defended fellow comedian and “Celebrity Apprentice” co-star Adam Carolla after he said that women are not as funny as men. The comment created waves of backlash, but Lampanelli rushed to his defense. “Jerry Lewis said the same thing years ago, and I didn’t care,” she says. “I was like, ‘I know I’m funny – that old bastard.’ It doesn’t matter.” Of other women standups, Lampanelli says,: “I’ve been saying for

MAIN SHEET Newport Hospital’s Fifth Annual Gala Ochre Court was the setting for Newport Hospital’s summer gala, “Under the Tuscan Sky,” on July 12. Since the first summer benefit for Newport Hospital was held in 2008, the annual event – with different themes and formats every year – has raised nearly $1.5 million for programs and equipment, including the emergency department, interventional radiology, the birthing center, and nursing specialty education. The committee for this year’s gala was chaired by Mr. and Mrs. Amory Ross and Mr. and Mrs. Jay R. Schochet. The evening included a Tuscan-inspired dinner by Russell Morin Fine Catering and dancing to the music of Bob Hardwick. A live auction was presented by C. Hugh Hildesley of Sotheby’s to raise funds for the hospital’s emergency department.

years that women suck as comics because for the most part, nobody wants to go see them except for three or four of them. I’m in agreement with [Carolla]. I absolutely love what he said because he was just being himself.” Considered one of the hardest working women in comedy, Lampanelli’s show in Newport will be one of her last before taking the month of August off. “My husband and I bought a house, and we’re just moving in to it,” she told Newport This Week. “I’m supremely wealthy and a hugely powerful celebrity, so we’ve purchased a house on the water in Connecticut and I don’t want people to storm the beach because I’m so popular. We’re taking August off to figure out how to furnish such a big house with just our two couches.” There are still good seats available to see Lisa Lampanelli on Sunday, July 22 at the Newport Yachting Center. Tickets can be purchased online at NewportComedy.com, TicketMaster.com, or by phone at 800-745-3000, and in person at the Newport Yachting Center Box Office, 4 Commercial Wharf, Newport.

This nesting season I decided to chronicle the activities of a Common Tern rookery that is located on the large island rock in Gooseneck Cove. This group of terns migrates to this location each spring to mate and nest. I wanted to observe and record the behaviors and habits of the terns. Common Terns migrate from South America to the eastern shores of the United States and across southern Canada to mate and nest. During the early to mid20th century, the Common Tern was brought to the brink of extinction by egg and plume hunters. Federal laws put in place to protect this species allowed the tern population to rebound. Adult terns feed their chicks on the rock. The Common Tern has light, (Photos by Jack Kelly) Inset shows pearl-gray feathers, which darken close-up of adult tern feeding chick. late in the breeding season, and a white tail and throat.

REEL REPORT
BEAT THE CLOCK!
Using Pogys to ‘Yo-Yo’ Bass By Tim Flaherty The striped bass bite improved slightly last week with more bass moving down to the cooler waters of the lower bay and the ocean side. This brought the “Yo-Yo Fleet” from the upper bay. (If you fished off Ocean Drive last weekend, you may have noticed a cluster of vessels just south of the R-2 buoy.) The term yo-yo may sound derogatory, but it is really a common fishing technique used by bass fishermen for decades. Yo-yoing is a technique to catch bass using dead pogys as bait. Yo-yo anglers take a 2- to 3-ounce bank sinker and insert it into the mouth of a fresh pogy, then sew it shut with a short piece of light fishing wire. A large #8 hook is then inserted under the jaw and out through the nostril of the baitfish. Using a light rod with a flexible tip, the rigged bait is then sent to the bottom. The reel is then cranked off the bottom 8-10 feet. Yo-yoers then drift these baits through a school of fish that are detected on the fish-finding sonar. As they drift, the tip of the rod is jigged with a short up/down stroke. A whippy-tipped rod is best to get the desired action, which mimics a wounded or stunned pogy – an easy target for a hungry striper. The bass will swallow the bait whole, but it is important to wait a few seconds to allow that to happen. After three or four seconds, the hook is set. Many anglers and environmentalists consider this technique harmful to the bass population and the environment, because anglers will often miss hooking the bass, but the lead sinker remains in the fish’s belly, eventually killing the fish. Over the years, I have caught many bass that had
Lily Rodriques of Portsmouth took this 33-pound linesider off Block Island last week. (Photo courtesy of Sam Toland) yo-yo sinkers in their stomachs, indicating that the yo-yo technique is in wide use. Sam Toland of Sam’s Bait and Tackle reports that bass fishing has slowed considerably. Only night anglers have enjoyed consistent action. This week’s weak tidal action is at least partly to blame. Water temperature at the reefs off Ocean Drive has increased to 68 degrees as of Sunday, July 15. When the water temperature hits 72, the bass will move from the shallows off the
The Gray Triggerfish, Balistes capriscus has large incisor teeth and a deep, laterally compressed body covered with tough, sandpaperlike skin. This species is found on both sides of the tropical and temperate Atlantic from Massachusetts to Brazil, and from England southward along the coast of Africa. It typically inhabits hard bottom areas such as wrecks, rock outcroppings and coral reefs
Drive during the day to seek cooler water in deeper holes offshore. Bass fishing at Block Island, however, continues to be good, with many fish weighing in the 30s being taken by eel fishermen at night or just before dawn. Fishing at either the Southwest Ledge or in the North Rip at the 1B1 buoy is the key to success. Last week at the Block, 12-year-old Lily Rodriques of Portsmouth nailed a 33-pound striper while fishing with her dad. That fish was the biggest in her angling career. We wish her many more. Occasionally, when our local waters get very warm, as they have been with the recent heat wave, exotic Gulf Stream species migrate here. The Gulf Stream is usually more than 100 miles from our shore, but as it shifts closer to our coastal waters, fish will stray close to shore in search of food. Gulf Stream fish, like bluefin tuna, marlin and mahimahi, as well as parrot and triggerfishes, begin to appear locally. Twice recently, our crew spotted flying fish just south of the R-2 buoy at the mouth of Narragansett Bay, and 13-year-old New Yorker Kamil Sodol, while fishing locally with his dad, Arkadius, landed a triggerfish on light tackle. The battle lasted over 15 minutes, until Kamil finally landed his warm-water wanderer of nearly 5 pounds. So, anglers, stay alert, and watch the water for these exotic species. And please report any sightings to us at fishfinder1@cox.net. Tight lines!

Esther is a Messianic Rabbi, who also works as a nurse, and wishes to bring Jews and Christians back to their ancient roots through the Messiah Jesus Christ. “Our theology is Messianic Christian,” says Don. One New Man basically blends different aspects of Judaism and Christianity into a unique family construct that includes reading from the scriptures and from the Torah. The group believes that the Ten Commandments are a summary of the Torah, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was resurrected from the dead. Saturday services begin at 10:30 a.m. and are filled with original music along with other more traditional songs of praise. The congregation makes use of the hightech audio and visual equipment, displaying peaceful scenic images along with words to the songs so everyone can easily follow and sing along. The energy level is high, and as spirits are lifted, some members break into dance. The community also holds a Bible study on Thursdays at 7 p.m. For more information on One New Man Community, visit onenewmancommunity.org. New Life International Ministries can be found on Facebook. The Ahavas Achim original house of worship was on the corner of Central and Bull Street. The property was sold to New England Telephone Company in 1944, and built the above building in 1945 where they worshiped until the mid 1980s. According to former member Lester Hoffman, by the late 60’s member numbers in the synagogue were diminishing quickly. Some had passed away, some dispersed to Touro Synagogue, and others to Temple Shalom in Middletown. With the help of Touro Synagogue, many of the religious symbols from Ahavas Achim such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Eternal Light, the pews, and ten stained glass windows were moved to the Hoffman Jewish Memorial Chapel on Fowler Avenue. Touro also helped remaining members of Ahavas Achim build a chapel inside the Levi Gale House.
