The ' I ' of the Storm Beware the ‘I’! Tropical storms and hurricanes of the past whose names began with the letter ‘I’ have had a high incidence of reaching the New England coastline, as shown in the image above. That’s not to say that Tropical Storm Isaac will do the same. We’re just sayin’ here that it might not hurt to stock up on a few supplies. Peak season for Atlantic hurricanes is August to mid-September. Last year’s Tropical Storm Irene landed here one year ago, on Aug. 28, 2011. As we go to press, Isaac is churning his way out of the Caribbean and heading towards Florida at a rate of 22 mph carrying sustained winds of 45 mph. According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday night or Friday. (Image by Rob Thorn)

Ear,There and Everywhere – Corn Season is Here Got corn? It’s the season for it here in Rhode Island, where fortunately, this summer’s weather has been kind to the kernels. That’s not the case in the Midwest, where vast swaths of corn rows are drying out from the prolonged drought. “We’re having a good season here in Middletown,” says Michelle Eckhart, who owns Sweet Berry Farm. “It was a little dry early in the season, but with the rain we’ve had in August, the corn seems to be recovering.” Sweet Berry grows mostly white varieties of corn – what is commonly known as Silver Queen but often is actually one of several white-colored varieties, according to Eckhart: “The white corns today are much improved over the old Silver Queen, but people still tend to call any white corn Silver Queen.” Many farmers also grow the familiar yellow-and-white variety known as Butter-and-Sugar. As far as taste, there is not much difference between that and the white corns. Basically, says Eckhart, “All corn is good.” With corn in such abundant supply right now, you don’t even have to visit a farm or a farmers’ market to find freshly picked ears.

City Seeks Refund on Seaweed Harvester By Tom Shevlin

IVAN ISIDORE

BORN FREE

The city's experimental seaweed harvester ran into some rough water earlier this year. The $325,000 contraption, which was beset by problems when it was first brought on line in 2009, again required repairs before being put into action this year. According to City Manager Jane Howington, the harvester’s motor had problems earlier in the spring, and it was sent back the manufacturer for repairs. Although the machine has been working for most of the summer, Howington could not say the same about the manufacturer. With the machine's warranty expiring in September, she sent a letter to the company, seeking reimbursement of $60,000 for lost productivity and repairs. To date,

The heavy rains of the last few weeks have taken their toll on certain areas of town. Last week, City Manager Jane Howington initiated emergency action to address flooding in the Malbone Road area where rain water turned streets into rivers and gullies into ponds. Much of the flooding took place in the area between Smith Avenue and Cummings Road, as well as Hillside Avenue. The worst of it occurred during last week's deluge, in which over 1.6 inches of rain fell on the area in just one hour. Howington acknowledged that with multiple 100-year rainfalls taking place within weeks of one another, there was little the city could have done to prevent the flooding. However, she noted also that steps are being taken to help prevent such occurrences in the future. "There's a problem up there that the city is trying to figure out," Howington said. Those steps include taking an emergency procurement action to hire a contractor to perform an inspection of the area's underground utility network in the hope of identifying the problem.

Washington Letter Celebrated A capacity crowd at Touro Synagogue listened to a reading of the famous 1790 letter penned by George Washington addressed “To the Hebrew Congregation in Newport” at their annual ceremony on Aug. 19. The 340-word letter is considered one of the defining written symbols of religious freedom in the country. Washington wrote: “Happily the Government of the United States, gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” Discover Newport president Evan Smith was the Master of Cer-

emonies, and the invocation was provided by Imam Farid Ansari, from the Muslim American Dawah Center of Rhode Island. Recent Rogers High School graduate Michael O’Connell was awarded with a Slom Scholarship for Freedom and Diversity. The Judge Alexander George Teitz Award, a non-monetary scholarship, was presented to Jessica Ahlquist, the Cranston West High School student, who successfully fought for the removal of a prayer banner from the school’s auditorium last year. The award is given

annually to “an individual or institution that best exemplifies the contemporary commitment to the ideals of religious and ethnic tolerance and freedom, expressed in President George Washington’s 1790 Letter.” Ahlquist is the youngest recipient of the award, joining a list that includes, the late Senator Claiborne deB. Pell. Upon accepting the award, Alhquist said, “This is what I wanted to happen. This is what I was fighting for when I did this.”

Pell Awaits 'Marginal' Overflow From Rain Delivery of Steel By Tom Shevlin

By Meg O’Neil Construction on the largest elementary school in the state continues on Dexter St. as crews prepare for delivery on Monday of the first installment of structural steel that will form the new Claiborne deB. Pell School. The steel will arrive from Shepard Steel in Hartford, Conn. next week with subsequent deliveries on Sept. 11, and Oct. 8. The three orders of steel correspond to the three separate sections (A,B, and C) of the new school building, which are being constructed independently of one another. The $30-million bond project is being overseen by Jim Farrar of Farrar & Associates, who provided an update on the construction process to the Pell Building Committee on Tuesday, Aug. 21. Farrar said that the site’s utilities, underground storm water system, and foundation are fully installed and have passed inspection, but much more cannot be done until the steel arrives on site. The steel’s delivery date has been pushed back several times this summer. School Committee Chair and Building Committee member Patrick Kelley was skeptical about the timing: “Unless this steel is leaving from [Hartford] today, I’m not really confident that it will be here on Monday. The delivery date has been sliding to the right.” Farrar said Kelley’s statements were “valid,” but also said that he, “certainly doesn’t have anything that’s telling [him] that Shepard Steel is a company that will not meet their obligation.” If the steel is delivered on Monday, crews will begin erecting the mainframe to building A on the same day. According to Farrar, buildings A and C are the school’s two classroom wings, with building B being the most complex of the three, housing the gym, cafeteria, library, and administrative offices. Farrar said that everything is currently on schedule, but added, “I know you hear rumors that because you don’t see the bricks and mortar flying around that we’re off schedule. Schedules are tweaked and adjusted throughout a project for a variety of reasons. There’s nothing in this schedule that’s causing us any great concern. It’s a project that needs the pedal to the metal at all times and that’s what we have going on out there.” Farrar also updated the committee on the school’s construction budget. In an effort to save over $85,000 of the school’s $1.1 - million contingency fund, the committee voted to eliminate two alternative options: the addition of another exterior wall insulation upgrade and additional LED lighting throughout the school.

The city's efforts to separate its combine stormwater system be paying off? City officials were pleasantly surprised by low Combined Sewer Overflow, or CSO, discharge seen during this month's heavy rains. According to records on file with City Hall, over the last year, both the number of discharges and their volume have been on the decline, leading some to express cautious optimism. Consider last week's torrential downpours. Based on the city's account, a total of 1.82 inches of rain fell on Aug. 15 – the bulk of which, roughly 1.6 inches, fell in just an hour. The rain was heavy enough to cause sporadic street flooding, submerging the Connell Highway Rotary under several inches of water and turned parts of Thames Street into a cobblestoned river. But it wasn't enough to cause the kind of CSO event that city officials have become accustomed to. The City has two outfalls where CSO's can occur; one at Wellington Avenue, and the other on Washington Street at the entrance to The Point. During the Aug. 15 storm, only the Washington Street facility experienced an overflow. And while similar storms in the past have resulted in discharges of over 3 million gallons, the most recent event saw just 187,000 gallons. When Julia Forgue, the city's director of utilities, first saw the incident report, she thought the numbers must be wrong. "We thought there might be a zero missing," she said. But there wasn't. "We're very excited and encouraged," Forgue said. "But we don't want to say that we're all done. It's the kind of thing that we'll have to wait and see if this continues, but

we have been working, and taking steps, to minimize CSO events." Indeed, going back to the 1970s, the city has deployed a host of strategies to mitigate its CSO problem. The city has been working since 2004 under a Consent Agreement with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management to eliminate CSO's from the Wellington Avenue Facility, while an EPA agreement mandates that the city eliminate stormwater discharges into Narragansett Bay altogether. So far this year, there have been just four CSO events, the largest of which came over a two-day period in July when roughly 2.3 million gallons of treated stormwater were expelled from the Washington Street facility. As a contrast, by this date in 2011, there were more than double the number of occurrences at the Washington Street facility alone, including eight events over 3 million gallons and one of almost 12 million gallons. Like Forgue, City Manager Jane Howington has been encouraged by the season's results thus far. While she acknowledges that it might be too soon to declare victory, Howington noted that "It seems like there might be a correlation" between the city's efforts to shore up its aging sewer system and the lowered CSOs. Among those efforts are a host of subterranean strategies, including separating catch basins, identifying illegal tie-ins, and rebuilding a pair of major sewer interceptors along Thames Street and Wellington Avenues. "There's a lot going on," Forgue said, adding that only time will tell if the city's recent experiences constitute a "new normal", or if there's something else at work. "It is a positive thing," said Forgue. "We don't really have an answer yet, but we're encouraged."

RAINS CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Howington, notified the council on Thursday that she would be hiring an available contractor outside of the city's normal contracting procedure. It was a decision that she made cautiously, noting that such actions should be only used sparingly. By Friday, crews were on scene evaluating the situation. "If you stand there in that intersection (at Smith and Malbone Road) and you watch that water rise, there's no backup there," Howington said. "But there's something that's happened that's making the area worse." At first, the city suspected that there might be a crushed pipe in the area. However, according to Julia Forgue, the city's Director of Utilities, it doesn't appear that any one thing caused the flooding. "They televised all the storm sewers in that area, and they're all fine," she said. "It's a large drainage area and we had a very large amount of rain in a short period of time." City Councilwoman Jeanne Marie Napolitano has lived on Mal-

bone Road for years, and knows the area well. "It's not a new problem," she said. Others in the area have wondered whether recent road repairs have contributed to the volume of water entering the system. That's something Forgue said the city will have to look into. "In that area of Hillside and Malbone are our largest storm drains," said Forgue. "The system was built to service a large drainage area." What the city will be looking at now is whether there are any new connections or additional volume that might be entering the system. Meanwhile, part of the new Claiborne deB. Pell Elementary School, which also drains into the network, includes a comprehensive stormwater management system which will hopefully reduce the impact that the new school has on the area. For now, Forgue explained the flooding in simple terms: "I don't think you can overstate the intensity of the rainfall we've had," she said.

For What It’s Worth A recent visitor to our gallery brought in a medal that his father brought back from Europe during WWII. It was given to him by a thankful liberated citizen of Italy. Our visitor wanted to know where it was from and what it was worth. The medal is the Order of the Dannenbrog (from Denmark), believed to have been founded by King Waldemar II in 1219 and one of the oldest orders in existence. The medal is awarded for outstanding service to the crown to Danes and foreigners and is rarely bestowed. This star is the Commander 1st degree and was issued between 1912-1947 and has a value of around $3,000 in today’s collectible market. — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques (The Drawing Room offers free appraisals by appointment.

Fire Prevention Message: Each year college and university students, on- and off-campus, experience hundreds of fire-related emergencies nationwide. Overall, most college-related fires are due to a general lack of knowledge about fire safety and prevention.

Fire Death at Inn Crews from Newport Fire Department Shift 4 responded to a structure fire at the Harbor Base Pineapple Inn, 372 Coddington Highway early in the morning on Sunday, Aug. 19. One male occupant in his fifties died as a result of the fire. The fire was reported via 911 by a caller from the hotel who was alerted by the fire alarm sounding. Upon arrival, the first responding crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the front door and windows of a single motel room located within a one story building which contained twelve units. All of the guest rooms were occupied at the time. The heavy fire and smoke damage was confined to the single room of origin and approximately one hundred feet of the covered entryway located just outside the room’s entry door. Adjacent rooms suffered only minor smoke damage. One firefighter sustained a smoke inhalation injury and was transported to Newport Hospital where he was treated and released. Sixteen firefighters from three stations fought the fire for 20 minutes before the Incident Commander declared the fire to be under control. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by members of the Newport Fire Marshal’s Office, the State Fire Marshal’s Office, and the Newport Police Department. Identification of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin. Damage to the structure is estimated to be $150,000.

EDITORIAL No Place Like Home

Money" magazine recently released its annual list of "100 Best Places to Live in America." Not one place in Rhode Island made the cut. We would like to politely disagree. We're fortunate, those of us who live in Newport and Aquidneck Island, to live in what might just be one of the most beautiful and friendly places anywhere in the world. If there is any real metric one could apply to quantify a "Best Place to Live," it's perplexing that we weren't included in the Top 10. A few weeks ago, we wrote in this space of Rhode Island's distinction as being the least desirable state for business. Our business climate is pitiful, and our leaders seem resolved to keep it that way. That's what makes our case for being one of the best places to live all the more forceful. Rhode Islanders – especially those of us with island mentalities – live here in spite of our government and the business climate which it frames. We live here because we love it; we're drawn to the water, the people, the sense of community and small-town life. Even if it's only for six months out of the year, there's something about this place that one can't find anywhere else. So, which communities were named as "The Best" places to live? Carmel, Ind. topped the list. A suburb of Indianapolis, it was cited for its recreational activities, affordable housing stock, and ample employment opportunities. Coming in second was McKinney, Texas, which, established 1848, is described as "one of northern Texas' oldest towns." Once again, affordable housing, low taxes, and new hitech sector were reason enough for a gushing review. Eden Prairie, Minn. came in third place for similar reasons. We're sure that McKinney, Carmel, and Eden Prairie are nice places to live. But "The Best"? We doubt it. Closer to home, Newton, Mass., which is located just west of Boston, was ranked as the fourth-best place to live in America. This is a bit more understandable. Rhode Island – and specifically Aquidneck Island – has a lot going for it. Imagine where we'd rank if we had a more favorable tax code.

Seen In Traffic

As a departure, this past week provided a wealth of double-takes on the city's roadways. Among them: n A delivery truck, which rode on the sidewalk halfway up Dearborn Street in order to avoid a pair of double-parked cars that were rafted up like a flotilla in Mackerel Cove. n A father and son, driving a scoot-coupe (one of those threewheeled scooters that zip around town), straight through the park next to the library, exiting onto the sidewalk and through the crosswalk at Bowery Street before heading down to Thames. n No less than 16 people riding their bicycles against traffic down Lower Thames Street, including one pair who chose to do so at night. n A motorcycle splitting traffic on America's Cup Avenue before coming to a screeching halt at the sight of the bright orange lane dividers in front of The Wave statue. n A car, leftover from Saturday night, parked almost diagonally on Lower Thames Street with its front two wheels on the sidewalk and rear bumper jutting out into traffic. Yes, we realize it's summer and our roads weren't exactly built for automobiles. But when did it become optional to obey simple traffic laws?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Tribute Created by 'Memorialist' To the Editor; The proposed tribute to Ms. Duke is an Earthwork Installation designed by celebrity designer/artist, Maya Lin, winner of the 1981 Vietnam Veterans Memorial Competition. Winning that competition propelled Ms. Lin, then a 21 yearold architecture student to instant fame and success. Neither a licensed architect nor landscape architect, Lin has said: “I see myself as an artist who happens to love buildings.” Ergo, her attempt at designing partial building foundations for Queen Anne Square as a tribute to Duke who tore down building foundations on that very same site, for their lack of architectural merit. An ironic and ill-conceived idea. In May Lin’s book Boundaries (2000) she remarks, “I retired from the monument business…not wanting to be typecast.” In a 2002 interview with Louis Menand, she said, "I have fought very, very hard to get past being known as the Monument Maker." She further stated in 2008 interview, “I am no longer in the monument business.” In 2011, she worked on a lone monument project in Newport, for the Restoration Foundation as a tribute to Doris Duke, but perhaps not so enthusiastically. Her Newport design clearly indicates her heart is no longer interested in designing monuments, and is confirmed by her quotes above. One poignant proof is the fact that she put no creativity into her work for Queen Anne Square. Maya Lin used a design previously used by her which failed as a park installation at Ohio University, and it is now being foisting off on this community where 89% people polled are against the project. While the NRF had a well-intentioned idea, Ms Lin’s design is a nonstarter for well-founded reasons. And on every account, it is a condemnable scheme. If realized, this so-called “$3.5 million gift to the City” will have to be de-installed due to citizen complaints, extraordinary maintenance costs, lack of use and an abysmal appearance. It is a mistake and the City’s agreement with NRF’s shell corporation (Doris Duke Monument Foundation) should be rescinded by the new Mayor and City Council due to its lop-sided terms. Amongst which are voting control in the hands of a private nonprofit (2:1 over the City), giving them total control over our public parkland (valued at $8,000,000), why? The new Mayor should take proactive measures to terminate this project. Laurence S. Cutler AIA RIBA Bellevue Avenue, Newport

HARVESTER CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 she said on Wednesday, she hasn't had a response. Despite providing the beach with a bit of relief from its chronic seaweed problem, the harvester has proved to be a source of controversy. Howington says she is committed to the machine. Looking beyond the warranty, she said that she's keen on examining whether the city would be better served by working with area marine mechanics in order to modify the harvester to better endure the island's marine environment. "The concept of the harvester is pretty good," Howington said. "It's just the execution has had some problems. I would think that some people who know their way around seaworthy engines would have something valuable to contribute to the design." The machine, the first of its kind anywhere in the world, had been riddled with hiccups and mechanical flaws since being delivered. Last year, the machine spent more time

undergoing repairs than it did operating. Now, with almost two seasons in service, the contraption is seeing regular use. Normally operating in the early morning hours, the harvester's massive tires move it into the waves with brazen determination, transporting piles of seaweed to shore, where they are offloaded and transported to Rhode Island Nurseries to be used as organic fertilizer. Coming at a cost of $325,000, the harvester is one of a series of recent investments that the city has made at the beach. Over the last three years, the city has also invested $214,000 in structural repairs to the rotunda; $108,000 for repaving and pedestrian-safety improvements to the west parking lot; and $100,000 for improvements to the ballroom facility, including resurfaced floors, lighting, awning canopy, signs, new acoustical ceiling, painting, window dressing, and upgraded bathrooms.

PELL CONTINUED FROM PG. 3 Farrar said the amount in the emergency fund is “not a bad place to be in terms of where the project stands.” In a letter to the school department, Farrar detailed why he did not recommend the add-alternate of a $51,000 exterior wall insulation, pointing out that the plans already call for the school to have a sufficient amount of insulation, meeting all energy and efficiency requirements. He called the additional foam installation a “belts with suspenders” situation. As for the LED lighting, Farrar noted out that the committee has already “achieved the true bang for the buck,” in terms of sufficient lighting and said that the money could be used for more critical needs. However, the school committee did vote to approve the installation of interior light shelves at a cost of $58,000. According to architect Matt LaRue, the shelves reflect natural light from classroom windows, creating brighter, more energy-efficient rooms. The school will be equipped with a daylight sensing system, which will automatically dim the electri-

cal classroom lighting when more natural light enters a classroom. Jennifer Booth, principal of Cranston-Calvert Elementary School and a member of the building committee, welcomed the addition of light shelves, saying anything would be better than the “horrible lighting we exist with now. Anything you can do to maximize the light in the classroom is probably a good thing.” Two items that have not yet been voted on are $222,000 for playground equipment and $132,000 for site trees. The two are currently on the add-alternates list; which means the items are not included in the main budget. Kelley suggested approving the items now for the contingency fund: “I think we’re fooling ourselves by saying we’re not going to buy play. It would be a huge embarrassment to the city to open the school without a playground and trees.” Farrar responded that playground furniture and trees are a priority the group needs to, “stay along this course for the time being and not go into a hard buyout at this time.”

Changes Proposed to Make City Cycling Safer By Tom Shevlin

"share the road" markings along various stretches of scenic roadways. Highlighting the presentation, and the challenges that cyclists face, was a short video shot with a handlebar-mounted camera that showed how dangerous navigating the roadway can be. However, as RIDOT engineer Peter Pavao noted, it wouldn't take much to make some of Newport's more dangerous streets and intersection much safer. All of the changes, he said, which would be funded by the state, are designed to be low-cost and relatively easy to implement. Councilors seemed receptive to the plans, peppering the representatives from RIDOT with questions and suggestions throughout their presentation. So, too, were the several dozen members of the public who turned out to see the proposed design. Martin Cohen, who volunteers on the city's Zoning Board of Review, lauded the plan, telling DOT staff that they had proven an ageold axiom of traffic planning. "It's a wonder what you can do with a paintbrush and some signs."Bari George, president and founder of Bike Newport, also offered a series of recommendations. Describing the meeting as "a momentous occasion," she said that the city should not overlook the bad cycling practices that too many people around town seem to exhibit. For the last several months, her group has been working closely with the police department,

Two months after a tragic accident took the life of a cyclist on Memorial Boulevard, state and city officials met recently with cycling enthusiasts to review a series of proposed traffic changes aimed at making the street more bikefriendly. The meeting, held at Newport City Hall on Wednesday, Aug. 15, was arranged at the request of the state Department of Transportation, and served mainly as a means to gauge reaction and collect input on a plan that would reshape traffic patterns along the heavily travelled roadway. Describing the challenge as "a tale of two roadways," DOT officials laid out a series of proposed changes to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety. The changes, which would stretch from the intersection of Thames Street to Purgatory Road in Middletown, range from the simple (installing new signage along the corridor and better defining crosswalks with a new paint design,) to the ambitious: installing new bike sharing lanes, including reducing from two to one the number of westbound lanes from Easton's Beach to Eustis Avenue to allow for a full-fledged cyclist-only lane. If implemented, the changes would bolster the city's efforts to become the state's first certified Bike Friendly community. Those efforts, largely driven by the volunteer organization Bike Newport, include installing new bike racks around town, embracing bike-towork programs, and introducing BIF_NewportThisWeek_Ad_12.qxd:BIF

schools, and other organizations to get the word out on safe bike practices. But still, she acknowledged, there's more work to be done. Regarding the specifics of the proposal, George emphasized how important it is to calm traffic in the vicinity of First Beach. The idea, she said, is "about slowing traffic down, not creating bottlenecks." "This segment in particular needs our attention," she said. "It's a bustling family recreation area. It's cyclists, pedestrians, children, puppies, surfers and more. This area deserves, if not demands, a slower, calmer traffic pattern." She continued, "For far too long, it's been a treacherous pass heading westbound between the beach and the pond on a bicycle; a fourlane superhighway with no shoulder. Placing a bike lane here is not an overreaction to a tragic fatal accident, it's a correction to a longstanding danger made sadly after the loss of a life." She added, "What we're doing is correcting a very dangerous situation." Concluding the workshop, Winthrop thanked RIDOT for their work: "There's only one issue in the city that trumps all others, and that's safety. And this is certainly a safety issue." However, before any work begins, DOT officials are looking for approval from the council. According to City Manager Jane Howington, that approval – along with some staff recommendations, could come as soon as the council's first meeting in September.

The first day of the 2012-2013 school year in Newport will be Wednesday, Sept. 5. For some students, it will be a transition year into Thompson Middle School and Rogers High School. To help parents and students in that transition, the school department has set up several orientation and open house sessions. On Wednesday, Aug. 29 from 5 – 7 p.m., Rogers High School will offer new-student orientation for incoming ninth graders and transfer students in the school’s cafeteria. Families are invited to attend the annual event, where there will be introductions, informational sessions, tours of the school, activity/ athletics sign-ups, and more. On Thursday, Aug. 30 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., all grade 5 students and their parents, and any new students in grades 6, 7, or 8 and their parents, are invited to Thompson Middle School’s “Back-to-School Orientation and Ice Cream Social” in the school’s cafeteria. Teachers and staff will talk about programs, answer questions, and provide an opportunity for new students to see the school before their first day. Here is information on how to register a student in Newport Public Schools: For students entering grades K – 4, register at: n Newport Public School Records Office Newport Area Career and Technical Center 15 Wickham Rd., Newport

(401) 847-2100 ext. 400 Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. For students entering grades 5 – 8, register at: n Frank E. Thompson Middle School 55 Broadway, Newport (401) 847-1493 Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. For students entering grades 9 – 12, register at: n William S. Rogers High School 15 Wickham Rd., Newport (401) 847-6235 Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. To register a student, a parent/ guardian must provide the following: a birth certificate (a child must be five years old on or before Sept. 1, 2012 for kindergarten registration); immunization record; proof of residency – such as a lease, utility bill, military housing office letter. Enrollment Figures According to the school department’s most recent enrollment numbers as of Aug. 10, there are 2,183 students enrolled for the coming school year from grades Pre-K through 12. There are 638 students at Rogers High School, 572 at Thompson Middle School, and 880 at the city’s four elementary schools. Additionally, there are 93 students registered in the schools’ special education programs. The most populated elementary school is Underwood, with 245 students; followed by Cranston-Calvert with 241; then Sullivan School with 213; and lastly, Coggeshall with 181 students. The overall enrollment numbers

are currently less than last year, but are expected to climb in the last two weeks before school, especially with new military families moving into the area. With 204 students currently enrolled in Kindergarten, Ambrogi called the class “absolutely one of the largest Kindergarten classes we’ve ever seen, and it’s certainly the largest class I’ve seen since I’ve been here.” Ambrogi said that the school department is trying to ascertain why the numbers are so high, and suggested that it might be due to the affordable housing opportunities in Fort Adams. Last week, the Newport School Committee voted to eliminate two third-grade teaching positions to save over $120,000 on the school budget. In doing so, it would eliminate one class from Cranston-Calvert School and one class from Sullivan School. Due to the new teacher contract, there are new class-size requirements in place, which allow up to 23 students in a third-grade classroom. By eliminating the classrooms, Cranston-Calvert would have five students over the allowed amount, and Sullivan would have two students over the cap. To solve that problem, Ambrogi proposed moving the five students from Cranston-Calvert to Coggeshall School and the two students from Sullivan to Underwood School. The School Committee is scheduled to meet again on Thursday, Aug. 23, to vote on whether to reinstate the two third-grade teaching positions. According to a memo to the committee from Ambrogi, “Should the Committee choose to reinstate both Third Grade Teaching Positions, we will have no space to put our students due to the addition of a tenth Kindergarten Class. The District will have to eliminate one of the Third Grade Positions so that there will be room at Sullivan for the fourth Kindergarten Class. I still believe that both of these positions can be eliminated without a negative impact on the quality of education.” An account of the Aug. 23 School Committee meeting will be on Newport-Now.com on Friday, Aug. 24.

During the hearings on the prayer banner last year, Ahlquist was the target of insults, death threats, and boos. That was not the case at Touro Synagogue on Sunday. Instead, she received a rousing round of applause as she accepted the award. “The banner was never an atheist issue,” Ahlquist said. “To me, it was an issue of separation of church and state, and the point was to protect the rights of everybody, despite any religious differences or political preferences. It was about doing the right thing.” The event’s keynote address was given by US Senator Jack Reed, and closed with a benediction provided by the congregation’s Rabbi Dr. Marc Mandel. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is expected to give the event’s keynote address next year.

(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Eric Dietrich/Released)

War College Welcomes New Class The U.S. Naval War College paid tribute to its newest class of approximately 585 resident students from the armed forces and civilian federal agencies in a convocation ceremony in Spruance Hall Auditorium Aug. 20. The convocation formally assembled the college community to start the academic year and included a faculty procession in academic regalia as well as a historical overview of the college's contributions by an actor portraying Naval War College founder, Commodore Stephen B. Luce. NWC President Rear Adm. John N. Christenson emphasized two things students will be able to take advantage of during their academic pursuits.

"You will be given two great gifts while you're here," said Christenson. "Those are a library of great books and the time to read them. You will also be provided with learning-partners to share your intellectual journey. Some are professional educators from our dedicated faculty, while others will come from the student body in the form of seminar mates and fellow students.” The arrival of NWC's newest students marks a nearly 128-year tradition of educating military and government officials in Newport. The college's academic mission is to educate and develop leaders and also to strengthen global maritime partnerships.

Navy Choristers Seeking New Voices The Newport Navy Choristers are currently seeking new members in all voice ranges to sing with them for the 2012-2013 musical season. The Navy Choristers have been singing in Rhode Island for worthwhile charities for over 55 years. This well-known, mixed singing group is open to all members of the Newport Navy community including active duty, reserve and retired military personnel, their spouses and family members 16 years of age and older, as well as Department of Defense employees. There are no auditions for the

main chorus. While experience is helpful, it is not necessary. This is a great way to make new friends, to perform community service and to sing choral music that is both challenging and fun. Rehearsals start on Tuesday, Sept.4 at 7 p.m. and every Tuesday thereafter at Perry Hall, Room 100 at NAVSTA Newport. For more information, call Pat McGue, chair, at 849-1135 or JoAnn Loewenthal, Musical Director, at 849-4823. You can also go to the Choristers’ website at newportnavychoristers.org. You can also find us on Facebook.

Active duty, retired military and dependents are invited to challenge Escobar’s Corn Maze for half price Aug 24-26. The 8-acre cornfield is on Escobar’s Highland Farm, Portsmouth.

Families of active duty, deployed or wounded E-6 and below in all services are eligible. Space is limited and is on a first come, first serve basis.

"Griselda" is an example of the luminous hue that came to be known as Parrish blue.

It’s not every artist who has a color named for them, but the prolific 20th-century illustrator Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was one who did. So popular were his romantic images on calendars, advertisements, and posters that during the middle years of the 1900s, it was a rare home that did not have an example of his work hanging somewhere on its walls. At the time, Parrish’s process for creating the radiant cobalt blue of the skies in his paintings became so identified with him that the color itself came to be known as “Parrish blue.” Even though Parrish’s works typically were reproduced for mass printings, their full glory can only be appreciated by viewing the original paintings. Fortunately, Newporters have an opportunity to see dozens of Parrish’s most famous works hanging on the walls of Vernon Court, the Bellevue Avenue mansion that is home to the National Museum of American Illustration. The museum, which holds the world’s largest collection of Parrish’s original works, is showing a special Parrish exhibit that continues through Sept. 22. Among the dozens of paintings on view in “Maxfield Parrish: The Retrospective” are the 18 10-foottall mural panels of “A Florentine

Fete,” considered to be the artist’s greatest work. Like many of his works, the “Fete” panels prominently feature the face and figure of Parrish’s longtime muse and model, his housekeeper and mistress Susan Lewin. She is depicted, in various guises, a total of 166 times in the murals and shows up in many of his other paintings as well. Parrish created the richly luminuous colors in his paintings through a labor-intensive process of layering single colors with transparent varnish layers in between, applied over a monochromatic underpainting. His career spanned nearly eight decades, with commissions ranging from early book and poster illustrations, to magazine covers, art prints and commercial advertisements such as Hires Root Beer and General Electric. Parrish is one of the several 20thcentury illustration artists who are represented in the Museum’s American Imagist Collection. On view are works by Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, and many other contemporaries of Parrish’s. In particular, the Museum displays numerous highlights from the travelling exhibition, “Norman Rockwell: American Imagist.” In September, that exhibition will move to Alabama’s Birmingham Museum of Art.

By Jonathan Clancy At the Village Hearth Bakery Café in Jamestown, the husband-andwife team of Andrea Colognese and Doriana Carella prepare Old World European-style breads and pastries in their handmade woodfire brick oven. On Sunday evenings, you can enjoy fresh pizza, or, on the sweet side, their famous sticky buns. The artisanal bakery is open just three days a week to allow the couple time to prepare all recipes completely from scratch. Andrea: Our most valuable tools are our hands. Baking is very simple, especially bread baking. There are very few ingredients, and everything is made by hand. We make everything from scratch. I wish we had another set of hands! Doriana: Our pet peeve is efficiency. For example, we don’t waste water. We met in Nepal, and we know how precious water is. We have in-house ceramic mugs and silverware for people to use. Andrea: Our most difficult day is Sunday. We work from 3 a.m. until closing at 7:30 p.m., and of course we have to clean up after closing. We have both ovens going, so it’s the hottest and hardest day. On Monday, we’re usually comatose. Andrea: We grow some of our ingredients at home in our garden: eggplant, tomatoes, beets, spinach, and lettuce. We raise chickens, so we use their eggs here. Doriana: At home, we cook a lot of pasta. My husband can’t live without it. Even if we are exhausted after working fifteen hours, we will still spend a half an hour cooking at home. It’s worth it. Andrea: When we eat out, we like to go for Asian, Thai, or Vietnamese food. We like Apsara on Hope Street in Providence, and an Indian place called Not Just Snacks on the same street. Doriana: Some of my favorite cookbooks are from La Brea bakery in California. I also like “Baking with Julia,” by Julia Child. Her style of baking is very straightforward.

It’s perfect, not overly sweet. Once you get used to Häagen Dazs, it’s hard to eat any other ice cream. Doriana: An ingredient that doesn’t get used enough in this country is couscous. Doriana: We don’t eat processed or pre-packaged food. Chicken nuggets, that’s something you’ll never see on our table. Andrea: If I could cook for anyone, it would be John Lennon. We share the same birthday, and Doriana actually shares the same birthday with Yoko Ono. We are seven years apart in age, just like they were.

TO GO: Village Hearth Bakery Café 2 Watson Ave. Jamestown 423-9282 villagehearthbakerycafe.com Among the bakery items typically on the menu at Village Hearth are sticky buns, almond amaretto cookies, brioche, and muffins. Breads include roasted onion foccaccia, walnut raisin loaf, Asiago cheese loaf, Kalamata olive ciabatta, and fresh rosemary loaf. On Sundays, they also have pizza. The house special pizza, which changes weekly, is $13; the Margherita is $11.

Doriana’s Vegetable Quiche The Village Hearth makes the pie crust for its quiche from scratch, but you can substitute a store-bought crust.

Line a deep tart/quiche mold with pie dough (12 ounces of dough for a 9-inch mold), and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill the bottom with dry beans. (This allows you to pre-bake the crust so that the bottom doesn’t get soggy when the liquid ingredients are poured in.) Chill the crust at least 1 hour before baking. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-23 minutes or until lightly golden. Once cooled, remove aluminum liner and beans, and fill with the egg/vegetable mixture. Doriana Carella(foreground) makes espresso drinks.

Gabriel Iglesias Closes Comedy Season By Meg O’Neil The laughter is coming to a close at the Newport Summer Comedy Series on Thursday, Aug. 30 as crowd favorite Gabriel Iglesias closes out the standup season. A veteran of the Newport comedy scene, Iglesias is bringing his family-friendly routine to the masses, delivering a high-octane show filled with character impressions, storytelling, and sound effects that appeal to all ages. For those who have never seen Iglesias perform live, the largerthan-life comedian who dons colorful Hawaiian shirts pokes fun at his size, but instead of using the word “fat” to describe himself, he uses the term “fluffy,” a nicer idiom that was used in the 1940s to describe overweight people. He incorporated the joke into his 2009 hour-long special for Comedy Central, titled “Gabriel Iglesias: I’m Not Fat … I’m Fluffy.” Before he became one of the most recognizable comedians in the country, Iglesias worked for a cell phone company in Los Angeles when he decided to try his hand at comedy. After taking the stage, he decided that comedy was his calling. He left his fulltime job, and was eventually evicted from his home and lost possession of his car. Determined to make it in comedy, Iglesias got a break in 2000 when

With dozens of accolades and credits to his name, Iglesias was most recently seen on the big screen in this summer’s blockbuster film, “Magic Mike.” No, he was not a scantily clad male stripper alongside stars like Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum, but instead got to perform his first Hollywood role as Tobias, a drugdealing male strip club DJ. To purchase tickets to see Iglesias perform at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, visit www.NewportComedy.com or www.TicketMaster. com. Tickets are also available by phone at (800)745-3000, or can be purchased in person at the Newport Yachting Center Box Office: 4 Commercial Wharf, Newport. he appeared on the children’s sketch comedy show “All That” on Nickelodeon. From there, his career has been unstoppable. In 2006, Iglesias appeared on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. He became one of the show’s final eight contestants, but was disqualified after it was discovered that he snuck a BlackBerry onto the show, a violation of the rules. Since then, Iglesias’ star has been on the rise. His other credits include the “Tonight Show” with “Jay Leno,” “The Late Late Show,” “Conan,” “Showtime at the Apollo,” “Family Guy,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and more.

In the spring of 2005, National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to Iceland to capture images of the melting Arctic ice mass. Within months of that first trip, Balog conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. The result of his years of work is a series of hauntingly beautiful time-lapse videos that compress years into seconds and

capture unforgettable images of ancient mountains of ice in motion as they melt. Directed by the team’s cinematographer, Jeff Orlowski, the documentary “Chasing Ice ” tells the story of Balog’s quest as both an adventure and as an environmental cautionary tale. It is the final outdoor film of the newportFILM summer series and will be shown

A Haunting Film About the Changing Arctic

National Geographic environmental photographer James Balog captures beautiful images of the changing Arctic in “Chasing Ice”.

The BEST way to enjoy the

outdoors on Rose Island on Friday, Sept. 7 at sunset (approximately 7:15 p.m.) for a suggested donation of $5. The Aquidneck Ferry will provide free ferry service to and from the island for the screening. (Details on newportFILM.com; rain location, Casino Theater, 9 Freebody St.) Along with a team of fellow adventurers, Balog deployed specially-designed time-lapse cameras across the Arctic in order to capture a multi-year record of the world’s northern glaciers. Working with this untested, revolutionary camera technology in subzero weather conditions, Balog and his team faced extreme obstacles, and years passed before they could even begin to see the results of their efforts. The film was screened as part of this year’s Sundance Film Festival and has been acclaimed as one of the most important of 2012. Film-goers are invited to bring picnics, chairs, blankets and refillable water bottles to Rose Island for the movie screening. For more information, visit newportFILM.com.

www.longwharfseafood.net

Since we have had a tremendous amount of sunshine and heat this season, the tomatoes are all coming in at once. Heirloom tomatoes have become local favorites. They come in a rainbow of colors, from Day-Glo yellow to striped green to blackpurple. By careful slicing and arranging, you can make platters of these tomatoes look like artists’ palettes. A simple drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper creates a masterpiece for your table, and the addition of fresh basil leaves or thin slices of fresh Buffalo mozzarella would make Van Gogh sigh with envy. A simple Caprese is the easiest way to serve tomatoes (with fresh basil leaves, fresh sliced mozzarella, and oil). Salt and pepper your tomatoes to taste, and you are transported to Portofino, Italy. Here are some of the heirloom tomatoes to look for: uBrandywine: This very large pink tomato is the essence of summer, warm off the vine. uValencia: This neon-orange tomato is sweet and round like its namesake. This tomato not only tastes sweet, it makes a glorious contrast next to a sliced Brandywine. uGreen Zebra: For those who like tomatoes without a lot of acidity, this tomato is for you. It is stunning with its bright green center and yellow and green striped exterior. uSun Gold: If you like your tomatoes sweet, you cannot beat this bright yellow sugar drop from a vine. Slice them and add just a bit of vinaigrette, or eat them au naturel. uBlack Prince: This tomato is almost mahogany in color. It is nonacidic, medium-sized, and gives you a “wow’”factor in taste and color. These are abundant now in green markets, as is Cherokee Purple. These look pretty and rather different, but any fruit or vegetable that is black is not always pleasing to the eye. As for pleasing to the palate, though, both of these black tomatoes are sweet. uHillbilly: This is one gigantic tomato. A single one can weigh over a pound. They are a red and yellow striped tomato inside and out.

In the parking lot of Anthony’s Seafood and Restaurant in Middletown, a yellow Volkswagen Beetle convertible is piled to its dashboard with ears of corn. (Photos by Katherine Imbrie)

CORN CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 In fact, you can hardly drive down an island road these days without spotting a truck or a guy in a beach chair selling corn that was picked that day. Here are some tips for buying corn: Look for fresh-looking corn silk on the top of the ears. The rule of thumb when selecting corn is, the darker the corn silk, the riper the corn. Only remove the husks from the corn if you plan to cook and eat it that day. Leaving the husks intact helps to keep the corn fresher longer. Once you get your corn home, store it in its husks in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. How do you prepare these delectable ears of corn? It is very simple. For eight ears of corn, bring three quarts of water to a boil in a large pot or kettle. After the water comes to a rolling boil, drop in the ears of corn, turn off the heat, and cover the pot. Let the corn sit in the very hot water for five to seven minutes at the longest. Remove the corn from the water and serve immediately. If you are not going to eat the corn immediately, wrap the ears in a tea towel. The cooking will stop, but the corn will stay hot for a while. A little butter and salt is all your ear of corn really needs to be ready to eat. Or use your microwave to cook your corn. You can either wrap a couple of shucked ears in a wet paper towel, or soak the ears in their husks in water for a few minutes, then microwave (still in their husks) for 5 to 7 minutes. The timing depends on your microwave and on the number of ears you are microwaving. It’s always better to undercook than overcook fresh corn. –Cynthia Gibson with Staff reports

Ingredients: 2 pink tomatoes 2 yellow tomatoes 2 green or black tomatoes (the choice and variety is yours) 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil Four large skewers Half cup chopped basil Salt and pepper to taste

Balsamic Vinaigrette In advance, make this simple balsamic vinaigrette by combining one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and two tablespoons or extra virgin olive oil. Use the same ratio to make larger quantities. Mix until emulsified, then drizzle over tomatoes fresh off the grill.

The Best Fresh Corn Fritters Serves 4 Ingredients: 2-3 ears of corn cut from the cob (not pre-cooked) 1 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. salt 1 tbsp. sugar 2 eggs ½ cup of milk A pinch of nutmeg (optional) Maple syrup or powdered sugar Vegetable oil for frying Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Do this by hand. The recipe will be lumpy to begin with, but after stirring, it will even out. You are making a simple pancake batter. Heat your frying pan over medium heat and add only two tablespoons of oil. You can also use cooking spray as it works just as well. Place the batter in the pan, two tablespoons at a time and cook until they are golden brown on both sides. Using fresh corn makes these wonderful fritters crunchy and crisp. For larger batches of fritters, continue to add a small amounts of oil to the pan as needed. Serve fritters piping hot. You may want to drizzle maple syrup on top or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Corn pudding is always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a classic and so simple to make. Many corn puddings are watery or have a watery residue. This recipe is creamy and delish!

Island Corn Pudding

HIGH-END CARICATURES by Charlie Hall

Select medium-sized tomatoes and cut them in half. Skewer them in alternating colors. Brush with olive oil and place on the grill for about 10 minutes (before they fall apart), rotating often. Close the top on the grill for the first three minutes of cooking. The entire cooking process should take no longer than 10 minutes.

Should you have any leftover corn, you can make fabulous, tasty, old-fashioned corn fritters or creamy corn pudding.

NATURE

Tough Love, Osprey Style By Jack Kelly This summer’s nesting season has been very productive for the Osprey pair that nests at Toppa Field/Freebody Park. This is their seventh season together in this nesting site. They have seen their three hatchlings successfully fledge (learn to fly) and become competent fishers at various lo-

The female lays her eggs days apart and they hatch in the same order as they were laid. This allows each hatchling to mature. We knew from experience that the next week and a half would present us with more memorable flights as the other fledglings reached their potential. When all of the young birds had fledged, the adults attempted to

begin this amazing cycle again. This remarkable pair has successfully raised 18 fledglings together in the past seven seasons. Osprey life-spans can reach 30 years. The young birds will stay in South America for 2-3 winters while they mature. They will then return to the area of their origin and seek mates, build nests and continue the circle of life. For more information on R.I. Ospreys go to: asri.org. Migration Note: Wildlife experts believe that drought conditions in the Midwest may drive some migrating species towards the East coast during the fall migration. This could lead to observations of seldom seen species in the R.I. area. Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast who enjoys sharing his experiences with others.

More than a few beachgoers have been entertained by the young birds’ spectacular power dives towards the water in search of a meal. As Audubon Society nest observers, my co-observer Mark Andersen and I have witnessed the flight preparations that the adult raptors practice with their young. The parents led their fledglings in wing-stretching and strengthening exercises. In these pre-flight dry runs, the fledglings will lift up to a height of about 10 feet over the nest until the adults whistle them back down into the nest. In late July, while we were observing the nest, one young bird rose about 15-20 feet above the nest and did not receive the warning whistle. Suddenly a small gust of wind carried the fledgling bird of prey away from the nest. At first the youngster seemed tentative but within seconds training and instinct took over as it stretched out its almost 6-foot wingspan and soared above the field. After a few circles of the field it returned to the nest and we could see its chest heaving from the effects of its first flight.

lead them to various habitats for fishing lessons, but one of the young would not leave the nest area. The adults brought fish back to the youngster, but after three days the adults ceased this activity. This forces the hungry young bird to learn to fish. It may be shy of flying or leaving the security of the nest. This is “Osprey Tough Love”. Without flying or fishing skills the fledgling will die. The young birds must be proficient at these tasks if they are going to survive their migration of thousands of miles to South America this fall. Within two days, the last fledgling was accompanying the parents on morning flights. An empty stomach trumps shyness every time. In the past two weeks, the fledglings have been flying and fishing on their own and have become adept at caring for themselves. Soon the family will break up because the nest is no longer needed. The birds will stay in the region until late September as they prepare for migration. At that time, the adults, though mated for life, will go their separate ways until next March, when they will meet back at the nest to

Al Williams demonstrates surf casting techniques. (Photo by Jack Kelly)

Lessons in the Fishing Arts By Jack Kelly Fishing is both an art and a science. For Allen Williams, fishing is a major part of his life and has been for almost fifty years. A twenty-year veteran of the R.I. Department of Environmental Management, Williams enjoys sharing his fishing wisdom, knowledge and experience with others. Recently Williams volunteered at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge during a free family-oriented event sponsored by federal, state and private organizations. The event, “Take Me Fishing”, is held annually to allow children and their families an opportunity to experience ocean fishing at

Wind on your back will give great casting distance–but the wind blowing onshore, on your face makes for a better day of fishing. – Allen Williams this prime location. RIDEM issues free, donated fishing equipment to participants, and Williams leads a surf-casting clinic. He then escorts them to various selected refuge areas to practice their newly learned skills. Williams blends his teaching technique with tales and stories gleaned from his own many years of fishing. The day of the event, Saturday, Aug. 18, was an overcast, cool and very showery day with a northeast wind blowing between 5-10 mph. When Williams began his clinic

he told his students that “this is a perfect day to fish.” He went on to explain, “Fish often feed before a storm. Striped bass will feed before, during and after a storm in the rough surf as long as the water isn’t dirty with seaweed. Wind direction makes a difference when surf fishing. Wind on your back will give great casting distance– but the wind blowing onshore, on your face makes for a better day of fishing. Onshore wind will kick up more whitewater and help to move baitfish in close to the beach or shoreline.” Williams demonstrated the casting styles that have benefited him and other fishing enthusiasts for generations. He explained how to work a stretch of beach or rocky shoreline and what types of lures or bait to use in certain regions. He emphasized safety: “Don’t fish on wet rocks or too close to the waterline. Big waves come up quick, so never turn your back on the ocean. Pick a spot where you can land your fish – between rocks or in a pocket. Pay attention to the tide, and don’t fish on black or shiny rocks. They might not be wet, but they can still be slippery.” As Williams wrapped up his clinic, he told his class that they had perfect striped bass weather and tidal conditions that day. He said he hoped they would discover the joy of fishing that has been so much a part of his own life. A tally at days’ end showed that many of Williams’ students caught striped bass and bluefish. While some were undersized, five legal-sized striper keepers were caught, and a small number of bluefish were also taken.

Lieutenant Helen Johnson of Newport’s Salvation Army is in the family business. Growing up in Massachusetts as the daughter of ministers, she was used to a life of service for others but unsure whether it was the life she wanted or was just used to. Her brother also serves. After difficult teen years, she went overseas to get some distance from her family. When she went to Nepal and saw the terrible conditions under which people lived, she was overwhelmed by the need. “I knew then,” she recalls, “that this wasn’t just my parents’ calling; it was mine.” She met her husband, Lieutenant Kevin Johnson, when he was contemplating a future in the Salvation Army. He took a train from Oregon to Massachusetts to work at her father’s mission, and he fell for the boss’s daughter. “I tell him,” she laughs, “that he came for me.” They married and went to the Salvation Army School for Officer Training seminary in New York together. Lt. Helen and Lt. Kevin, as they are called by their congregation and clients, were ordained in 2008 and received their “marching orders” to Newport. Johnson believes that she and her husband complement each other in their work. She says he maintains the mission vision and is great with the finances, while she focuses on programming and counseling. It works well. “I am doubly privileged,” she claims, “because I get to do God’s work - with my husband!” As the parents of two young daughters, ages 5 and 2, they face the typical dilemmas of juggling child care with demanding work schedules, often ‘tag-teaming’ during the long programming day. Johnson says her greatest joys involve counseling and working with young people. “I love that kids have a safe place to go and just be themselves.” They work on character development and self-esteem issues and enjoy fellowship. During the school year, the Salvation Army hosts a food program for schoolchildren. She observes that “accidental” counseling often happens when people come for social services. “They come in because they need support in one area, and they just pour out their stories.” It is the design of the organization. The Salvation Army is known worldwide for its humanitarian efforts, but many people don’t know that they are a church first. The corps motto, “Hearts to God, Hands

Lieutenant Helen Johnson serves at the Salvation Army, 51 Memorial Boulevard. to Man,” embodies their philosophy of providing for all, regardless of religious beliefs, but Johnson points out, “We do what we do because of Christ.” Newport’s Salvation Army offers soup kitchens twice a week and a “client choice” food pantry, providing over 75,000 meals to area residents last year. They are fortunate, Johnson states, because they have fresh produce from the Methodist Community Gardens and also offer meat. Their daily bread giveaways attract long lines. “We offer the bread of life, not just bread for your body.” Johnson says her biggest need is for volunteers. She reports that they get many volunteers performing community service obligations but lack the core cadre found in so many other associations. They appreciate any help, she says, but also recognize the continuity regular volunteers bring to an organization. The Salvation Army began in 1865 with a philosophy of providing for the downtrodden, without discrimination. Since its inception, they have empowered women as pastors and women have always played major roles in the organization, facts Lt. Helen points out with pride. Today, the Salvation Army is in 152 countries and each unit is a bit different - the needs of the community determine the programs offered - but all are designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. “We started out offering soup, soap and salvation,” Lt. Helen muses. “We still do.” Third in a series on women in the clergy on Aquidneck Island. Of the nearly three dozen churches on the island, seven are headed by women.
