Board Supports Kay Parish Hall Condo Development

By Tom Shevlin Plans to develop a derelict former parish hall in Historic Hill got a significant boost on Monday as Planning Board members voted unanimously to endorse a proposal to convert the three-story brick building into condominiums.

The proposal, which calls for the development of seven condo units and the installation of an underground garage, has been met with opposition from neighbors in the tightly woven neighborhood. It now heads to the Zoning Board for final approval.

On Monday, Planning Board members cited a number of factors in finding the project in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Not least among them was the finding that the project would preserve an historic piece of the community.

Built in 1900, the 15,750-squarefoot Kay Parish Hall was once a vibrant part of the School and High street area. However, in recent years, the building has sat abandoned.

Located in the heart of Historic Hill, the building presides over the corner of High and Church streets, a victim of a poor economy and prohibitive zoning. In recent years, neighbors have expressed concern over the condition of the building and the impact its ne-

The city’s School Committee and its local teachers’ union have entered into mediation over a recently expired teacher contract, according to members of the committee.

The contract between the Newport School Committee and the Teachers’ Association of Newport was actively dated for the school years of 2008-2011. It expired at the end of August, just prior to the start of the 2011-2012 school year, which began Sept. 6.

While many of the details are still under wraps, it has been confirmed by several members of the School Committee that the two groups have reached an impasse in regards to the new contract.

Utility Pole, St. Clare Home Approved

By Tom Shevlin

A proposal to develop Kay Parish Hall into seven condominium units won approval from the Planning Board on Monday, September 19. glect has on the character of the neighborhood.

According to plans on file with the city, developer Parish House, LLC hopes to transform the property into a 7-unit high-end condominium or hotel complex.

Formerly used as a parish building for the adjacent Kay Chapel, the building features three levels with 40-foot ceilings and wide ex-

panses which stretch nearly the entire length of the building.

According to property transactions, the building was sold on Oct. 22 last year for $375,000 by LHO Viking Hotel to Parish House, LLC, a Virginia-based corporation owned by Terry Hinderman, of Altus Realty Partners.

According to the plans, the brick and mortar facade would

remain virtually untouched while the building’s transformation takes place. In fact, from the outside, the project’s most visible changes would be the removal of an old fire escape network, the addition of a dormer on the western side of the building, and the addition of outdoor patios. A curb cut

City Council members made quick work of a light docket on Wednesday, Sept. 14 – moving through their agenda in just over 30 minutes.

Among the highlights: an approval for a plan to install a new transformer on Ann Street to service the new transient boater facility at the Lower Thames Street Armory. The proposal, which is contingent on final details being worked out with National Grid, would remove two nearby utility poles in exchange for the one.

Earlier plans had called for placing the pole on Lower Thames Street. But councilors, citing the city’s long-stated goal of reducing the number of utility poles on the street, sought a different way.

Through a series of conversations that were still taking place in the hours that led up to the meeting, city staff were able to report that it appears it will be possible to relocate the pole to the lower end of Ann Street and bury the wires to the Armory.

This news was well-received by the council, which is also working on a state-funded pilot project to make improvements to a portion of

AROUND TOWN

Cicilline Opens Office, Hears from Constituents

By Tom Shevlin

U.S. Rep. David Cicilline told constituents here last week that it’s time that Americans got back to the business of making things again.

In brief remarks before sitting down for a community pasta dinner on Friday, the first-term Congressman said that since being elected, he has been focusing on lobbying Congress to adopt policies “that support American manufacturing.”

He added that it was equally important to repeal tax breaks for companies that “ship jobs overseas.”

Spending the better part of Friday afternoon meeting with constituents up and down the Broadway corridor, Cicilline fielded questions and criticisms on everything from job creation to illegal immigration.

He began his tour at City Hall, where shortly before 4 p.m., he opened a satellite office in an upstairs meeting room just down the hall from the mayor’s desk. Recognizing that to many, “Driving to Pawtucket is like an overnight trip,” Cicilline was joined by a handful of constituents and local dignitaries, including acting Mayor Justin S. McLaughlin and First Ward Councilor Charles Y. Duncan, who presented him with an official city pin.

The office will be open on Fridays during normal City Hall business hours, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. A staff member from Cicilline’s Pawtucket office will be there, as will the Congressman, as scheduling permits.

The city is offering the space as a public service at no charge.

After entertaining a constituent request, the Congressman bounded down Broadway, visiting with

Representative David Cicilline outside Donick’s Ice Cream Spa with “Miss Eddy”. local merchants at Empire Tea & Coffee, Donick’s, Shannon’s on Broadway, Murray’s barber shop, and The Fastnet Pub. He wrapped up the day at Thompson Middle School, where he and his staff hosted a community pasta dinner, at which he emphasized the need to improve the country’s infrastructure, pursue long-term deficit reduction, bring an end to the war in Afghanistan, and move beyond partisan bickering. To that end, Cicilline said that he is in the process of forming a

new group on Capitol Hill, dubbed the “Common Ground Caucus.”

The purpose, according to Cicilline, is to help ease tensions between Democrats and Republicans by engaging members in various social outings. The group is open to all members of Congress, but with one catch: In order to join, each member will be required to reach across the aisle and pull in a representative from the opposite party.

Cicilline also answered questions on topics such as the economy, jobs, and the housing crisis.

Festa Italiana!

The 17th annual Newport Festa Italiana will open on Friday, Sept.

23 with the John Panaggio Ziti Night sponsored by the Forum

Lodge, Sons of Italy. The event will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Valley Road in Middletown from 5-7 p.m. Ziti, meatballs, salad, bread and dessert will be served by Forum Lodge members.

Middletown–Members of Town Council saw a glimpse of Middletown’s future Monday night as they were presented with a master plan for the 14-acre stretch of West Main Road from Coddington Highway to Valley Road. The master plan calls for a vastly different environment made up of a mix of retail, office, residential, and municipal spaces with many landscaped areas and pedestrian walkways. The town’s planning director Ron Wolanski indicated the Council would be asked to endorse the master plan concept at its next meeting, Oct. 3.

“This is the most exciting opportunity we have seen to take an awful stretch of West Main Road and create a true downtown feeling where you have room for pedestrians, bicycles, and retail,” said Councilor Bruce Long.

The master plan (available on the Planning Department page of the town’s website, middletownri. com), was presented by Geoffrey Morrison-Logan, of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, the urban design consultants who created it over the course of the past 18 months.

The preferred scenario includes a municipal zone with a town commons and an internal street parallel to West Main lined with mixeduse buildings, creating a destination area independent of the flow of traffic on West Main. Space devoted to the four primary uses of the development center are proposed as civic (50,000 square feet), retail (80,000 square feet), office (45,000 square feet), and residential (175 units).

“The important thing that the master plan shows is how pedestrian friendly this area could become. We are trying to create a very walkable environment,” said Morrison-Logan, who indicated the plan could take as long as 10 years to fully implement, and would be best undertaken in phases.

R ley Val The master plan for redeveloping a 14-acre stretch of West Main Road (shown, looking south from Valley Road down toward Coddington Highway) would drastically change the busy street. In the plan, a town commons (at bottom right in illustration) is shown in roughly the location of the present-day JFK Elementary School. The buildings would contain a mix of retail, office, and residential space.

Abundant greenery and pathways for pedestrians would create a walkable environment.

A key element to moving forward with the master plan, if the Council endorses it, will be the transfer of the former Navy Lodge property at the corner of West Main and Coddington. That parcel became available because of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), and is in the process of being transferred.

Commenting on the master plan, Councilor Edward Silveira said, “In an economically challenged time, this is a wonderful opportunity to do something with tremendous benefit for all the residents of Middletown.”

In other action, the Council agreed to keep the town’s Wind Turbine moratorium in effect for

NTW - September 21, 2011

the immediate future, at least until the state releases its Statewide Planning parameters for wind turbines, expected at the end of September. Town Council Chairman Art Weber had asked for a discussion about modifying the moratorium to allow for small wind turbines. Several councilors appeared to agree with public opinions expressed during the meeting, including that of local resident Richard Price: “I urge the town to stay the course and wait until you really have data that addresses all the concerns about wind turbines.

Wait for the state study, and if it doesn’t tell you what you need, do your own study.”

Pre-Operative Tours Offered

COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Lower Thames from America’s Cup Avenue to Ann Street.

Also punctuating the meeting was a statement by Annette Bourbonniere, of the city’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, who expressed “outrage” over news that U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline would be opening a satellite office on the second floor of City Hall – a building which she noted is not fully handicap accessible.

“Promoting City Hall for any kind of public event or official shows a true lack of concern for people with disabilities in the city,” she said via video-conference link. “You can’t deny that City Hall has serious access problems...We’re sitting in another room to communicate with you because City Hall is not accessible.”

Upon opening his office later in the week on Friday, Cicilline said that his office would do its best to

ensure that all residents are accommodated during his Newport office hours.

In other business, special recognition was provided to electrical inspector Richard Newman, who was honored for his work during the city’s recent brush with Tropical Storm Irene. Third Ward Councilwoman Kathryn E. Leonard read into the record a resolution which praised Newman for “going beyond the call of duty” for his dedication to the public, and coordinating with National Grid to get the power restored. Newman thanked the council in brief remarks.

The council also got behind a resolution that urges state lawmakers to repeal a controversial tourism tax that Mayor Stephen C. Waluk said could have a significant impact on the city’s tour operators. The resolution, which will be forward to the General Assembly, received unani-

mous support.

Also receiving final approval of the council was an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance which provides the St. Clare Home permission to expand – by right – beyond its current footprint on Spring Street. The proposal had drawn an overflow crowd to City Hall when it was first considered. Its second reading was far less dramatic. The measure passed 6-1, with First Ward Councilor Charles Y. Duncan casting the lone Nay vote. Duncan reiterated his overall support for the project, but questioned whether the council had overstepped its authority in effectively nullifying a previous decision by the Zoning Board of Review.

And finally, there was one reappointment to the city’s various boards and commissions, with Robert Currier reappointed to the Tree and Open Space Commission.

International Walk to School Day On Wednesday, Oct. 5, students and parents from dozens of Rhode Island schools will participate in International Walk to School Day. So far, seven area schools have chosen to participate: Newport - Thompson, Cranston-Calvert; Middletown - Aquidneck, Forest, Gaudet; and Jamestown - Lawn Avenue, Melrose schools.

International Walk to School Day is the non-profit arm of “Safe Routes to School,” a federal transportation grants program administered by the Rhode Island Department of Administration-Statewide Planning and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.

To find out more about what you can do to encourage walking or improve the safety of the route your child travels to school, contact the Coalition for Transportation Choices for information on the safety audit of your neighborhood’s routes to school.

The Coalition for Transportation Choices, a group of 45 organizations including the Audubon Society of RI, AARP, Rhode Island Bicycle Coalition and the Rhode Island Department of Health, advocate for walking and biking for human and environmental health. Walking or biking to school brings numerous health benefits for elementary and middle school students. The U.S. Department of Health recommends 60 minutes of physical activity per day, which has “a positive influence on concentration, memory, classroom behavior and intellectual performance,” according to a 2005 article in The Journal of Pediatrics.

The Debt

For What It’s Worth Mr. Santi, We want to put our pump organ in a yard sale this fall and we don’t know what it is worth.

Can you help? P.S. it works.

— Helen T. Ms. T: My father brought home a similar organ in 1962 and he paid $45 for it at that time. Unfortunately, they haven’t appreciated in value very much over the years. On our recent outing to the Brimfield antiques show we saw several with the price range all under $150 with more simple examples selling (or not selling) for under $100. I would price yours at $100–you can always take offers. As strange as it may seem, Japanese are keen on American pump organs with a market for them in Japan; you just have to figure out how to get it there!

— Federico Santi, Partner, The Drawing Room Antiques (There will be no appraisal on Thursday, Sept. 29.

Regular Thursday appraisals will resume on Oct. 6 from noon to 5 p.m., no appointment necessary.)

Pornographer Sentenced Thomas O’Brien, 51, of Portsmouth, was sentenced Monday, Sept. 19 in federal court to 72 months in federal prison followed by lifetime supervised release for receiving and possessing more than 1,100 images and videos of child pornography. O’Brien has been ordered to begin serving his prison sentence by Oct. 11, 2011.

He was also ordered by U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith to continue an earlier court order that he post warning signs on his Newport Dive Shop business that minors are prohibited from entering the establishment without the supervision of an adult. O’Brien pleaded guilty in March 2011.

According to court records and information presented to the Court, in August 2008, based on information provided to the Rhode Island State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) by law enforcement authorities in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, investigators were led to a “teen modeling” website that facilitated meetings between child pornography collectors and the defendant, Thomas O’Brien.

On Aug. 18, 2008, O’Brien consented to a search of his home and a forensic preview of digital media in his home including computers.

On Aug. 20, 2008, acting on a state search warrant, ICAC and FBI agents executed a complete search of the defendant’s digital media which revealed more than 1,100 images and videos of child pornography.

During voluntary interviews with investigators, the defendant described a relationship with a minor who lived in Kansas City, Missouri, which began in June 2005 through an Internet chat room. O’Brien admitted to sending the minor cash and providing the minor with an Internet camera which was used to provide O’Brien with pornographic pictures and videos of the victim and a friend of the victim.

O’Brien was arrested in September 2010 and released on $50,000 unsecured bond.

EDITORIAL Broadway’s Blues We’ve written extensively about the challenges facing the city’s Broadway neighborhood. From a traffic perspective, it’s congested. From a pedestrian standpoint, it’s downright hostile. And for businesses, it can be a struggle.

But when U.S. Rep. David N. Cicilline met with local merchants here last week, it was a pointed reminder that despite its problems, the stretch remains a vital year-round hub for commerce and civic activity. Which makes the city’s plan to revitalize the area through an ambitious streetscape improvement plan all the more important.

We’re happy to report that the project is indeed moving along; City Council members recently awarded a final engineering contract which should make the design shovel-ready sometime next year.

As with anything these days, funding could prove challenging.

During a speech later in the day at Thompson Middle School, in one breath, Cicilline emphasized his commitment to investing in the nation’s infrastructure. In another, he spoke of the need to support Main Street, and not just Wall Street.

Perhaps we, as a community, should hold Cicilline to his word.

Now that he’s become a member of the Broadway community (albeit for only a few hours a week), what better place to start investing in our infrastructure than along Newport’s historic main street?

While we’re on the subject of Cicilline’s new office space, we’d like to extend an offer to our other Congressional representatives to follow suit. As one member of the City Council recently suggested, the city might want to consider designating an office in City Hall specifically for our Congressional delegation. The idea makes sense, especially when you consider that both of our U.S. senators are no strangers to the area – Sen. Reed lives in Jamestown, while Sen. Whitehouse calls Newport home.

Having Congressional eyes on the issues affecting the city certainly couldn’t be a bad thing, could it?

And finally, a correction. Due to an error on the part of our printer, we made a few mistakes in last week’s edition. Chief among them from an editorial standpoint was a reference to the search committee for Newport’s new city manager. In the article, entitled “Over 100 Apply for City Manager,” it was incorrectly reported that a member of the School Committee was among the seven individuals selected for the confidential committee. That is incorrect. The article was reported accurately online at Newport-Now.com.

Meanwhile, an error in the caption to our story highlighting the Ancient Order of Hibernians’ landmark 135th anniversary, identified past AOH National Director Joe Brady as “Fast AOH National Director.” Mr. Brady is indeed affable, but we didn’t mean to imply anything more.

We, as always, regret the errors.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bernhard’s Ideas Shaped Newport Letter to editor: Newport has lost a very good friend with the passing of Hank Bernhard. In his professional life before coming to Newport, Hank was Vice Chairman of Ogilvy & Mather, a worldwide advertising and marketing firm. He was responsible for such clients as Mercedes Benz, Sears, American Express, Shell Oil and Gillette. Here in Newport Hank was a serious, but lighthearted, sailor, Cordon Bleu chef for his many friends and absolute perfectionist in the restoration of his home, the oldest farmhouse on Aquidneck Island. Quietly and persuasively Hank brought his many talents to the solution of key issues in Newport’s development and future.

As the President of the Foundation For Newport, Hank had the vision to prepare a comprehensive plan to reduce traffic in downtown Newport and create alternative

modes of transportion. He was a very strong force in the development and preparation of the plan and also was always a willing recipient of alternative ideas. Hank worked hard to promote these ideas to his fellow Newporters.

Few know that it was Hank who identified the classic trolleys that ply our old streets; and Hank who persuaded RIPTA officials to buy and operate them. Revival of Perrotti Park and construction of a harbor center in the park to support both water taxi and trolley traffic was also an integral element of his vision. Faced with suggestions of a more traditional design, Hank artfully persuaded the architects to design the fine facility so many people enjoy today. At the water’s edge of the park, Hank urged the designers not to install a wall or fence between the people and the water and keep the sightline of the water open to all passing

Ocean Endowment Gets Committee OK U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s proposal for a national endowment to fund ocean and coastal initiatives got closer to reality yesterday when The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works approved legislation to provide funding for the endowment.

“This is a major step toward getting a National Endowment for the Oceans launched,” said Whitehouse. “By establishing a stream of funding, we will enable the Endowment to begin the work of protecting our oceans and supporting the fishing, research, and tourism jobs which are central to Rhode Island’s economy.”

Formally called the National Endowment for Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes, the entity would be established in the U.S. Treasury and would be managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

According to Whitehouse’s press office, funds from the Endowment would be distributed through grant programs to coastal states and regional planning organizations, and through a national competitive grant program to support activities in any state that would benefit our

oceans, coasts and the Great Lakes.

Aquidneck Island initiatives would potentially benefit as the grant programs established in the Endowment would fund projects to restore habitat, manage fisheries, plan for sustainable coastal development, acquire coastal properties for preservation, and relocate critical coastal infrastructure The Senate Committee today approved a means of funding the Endowment by drawing on a trust fund financed by Clean Water Act penalties related to last year’s Gulf oil spill. The Endowment could potentially receive tens of millions of dollars in its first year alone.

Grant-making endowments supporting research in areas thought to be of national interest already are well established in other domains, such as the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which were both established by Congress in 1965.

The legislation to establish the National Endowment for the Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes must now be voted on by the full Senate.

State Treasurer to Talk Pensions General Treasurer Gina Raimondo appeared at a “town hall meeting” on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the CCRI Auditorium.

The event, hosted by The Alliance for a Livable Newport, was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

Since being elected last November, Raimondo has been outspoken in her calls for crafting meaningful pension reform.

by the park. And it was Hank who sourced and carefully directed the design of a classic water taxi, with the same capacity and character of the trolleys, with the goal that they could transport people by water to points of interest where they could then proceed by trolley to other destinations.

These are just a few examples of the work and the vision that Hank gave to Newport. He was a thorough, precise and relentless taskmaster – and he was always a delight to work with. Important components of Hank’s vision and work are in place and many others are part of current proposals to improve vehicular traffic in Newport.

Hank turned skeptics into advocates. His persistent optimism was contagious to those who came in contact with him.

He loved Newport and he will be sorely missed.

TEACHERS

CONTINUED FROM PG.1

“We are in mediation, but we have to get to the point where we can agree on when to reveal the intricate details to the public,” one School Committee member said earlier this week.

With specifics of the process largely unknown, a third-party mediator has been working with the two parties to negotiate a settlement, and a hearing is reportedly being planned for some point in October, according to one member of the committee.

Newport is one of 35 cities and towns in Rhode Island that have passed a resolution against binding arbitration in teachers’ contract issues. (A mediation process is nonbinding.)

Teachers in Newport have had the same contract for the past three years, with someone from the School Committee revealing, “The teachers here saw they weren’t going anywhere,” and therefore entered mediation.

“We just couldn’t come to terms for whatever reason, said one School Committee member. “We’ll see how it goes.” While the committee is hush-hush on the subject, one member revealed, “If no one can come to terms or an agreement, we’ll keep going … but it is what it is.”

It was also noted that the contract between the Newport School Committee and R.I. Council 94 on behalf of Newport County School Employees, Local 841, has also expired, well over a year ago. That contract dated from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2010, meaning those city employees have been working for more than a year without an active contract.

KAY PARISH CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 would also be required to access the lower level parking garage, resulting in the loss of one on-street parking space.

The plan Planning Board members were asked to vote on was the same that was already approved by the city’s Historic District Commission.

Attorney Mark Bardorf represented the applicant before the board. In addition to noting that the project calls for the addition of 10 parking spaces in the lower level garage, plus the use of four more through a perpetual easement in the Hotel Viking lot across the street, Bardorf presented a study which showed that traffic impact would be “negligible.”

As a real estate expert, local builder Mark Horan told board members that he believes seven or eight units would be the minimum number needed to make the project financially viable. When pressed, Horan went further, saying that given current market trends, eight units may in fact be ideal. Still, Bardorf noted that his client is only interested in developing seven units.

But the application was not without objection. Several neighbors spoke up against various aspects of the plan, including concerns over the number of units, location of mechanical elements like HVAC systems, and the potential for increased traffic congestion.

School Street resident Marilyn McCarthy has been trying to bring attention to the condition of 27 High St. for several years now. She said that while the neighborhood is excited to see the building saved,

she has concerns about the potential impact that adding seven more residential units would have on the neighborhood.

Joseph Hearn lives at 96 Mary St. He said that while he hopes the building can be saved, he feared the “profound impact” the proposed development would have on his life.

According to Hearn, he remains concerned over the potential loss of parking spaces and the use of proposed outdoor decks.

Three other nearby residents expressed similar sentiments. Julie Priestley owns an historic 18th century home located at 12 High St. She also said that she has concerns over the placement of the building’s HVAC system and other mechanical elements.

However, before the project goes any further, it would require at a minimum a parking variance through the city’s Zoning Board of Review as well as action to change the zoning ordinance governing the building.

McCarthy said that the issue should be used as an opportunity by the city to look at the neighborhood in a more holistic way –considering not just the zoning of one particular building, but developing a strategy to deal with what is one of the city’s more unique neighborhoods.

Bordered by Touro Street to the north, Bellevue Avenue to the east, and the city’s downtown retail core to the west, the School-High Street neighborhood is indeed in a bit of a tight spot.

Reporting from Plymouth, England: Mayor Waluk

By Tom Shevlin Newport Mayor Stephen C. Waluk checked in with Newport This Week/Newport-Now.com from Plymouth, England, where the second installment of the America’s Cup World Series was being held last week.

In a text on Saturday, Sept. 17, Waluk reported that he’d been quite busy since arriving on scene.

He flew out to visit the race along with Newport & Bristol County Convention & Visitors Bureau chief Evan Smith.

In addition to touring the race village and facilities in the UK city, Waluk said that he has also met with various America’s Cup officials and participated in at a press conference.

The major’s take-away from his visit thus far: “The [America’s Cup World Series] is quite an undertaking,” he said.

On Saturday, he was due to learn more about how the spectator experience is managed – something that could come in handy should the event draw the “tens of thousands” of people that organizers in Newport hope.

To top it off, Waluk said that he had been invited to be the guest racer on top-seeded Team New Zealand’s boat as they took the Plymouth Match Racing Championship.

“Amazing athletes,” Waluk reported via text message. “Everyone I speak with is excited about [Newport] next year.”

The next stop for the AC World Series will be San Diego, nearly two months from now.

pel, the Touro Street fire house, and the Boys & Girls Club interspersed through an impressive collection of historic 18th and 19th century homes, the area is plagued by parking shortages and heavy traffic volumes.

Pieter Roos is the executive director of the Newport Restoration Foundation, which owns the property at 40 High St. He told Planning Board members that while he’s not opposed to seeing “something good happen” to the Parish Hall, he is concerned about density.

If the city ultimately approves the plan, Roos said that it could potentially open the door to allowing greater density in other parts of the neighborhood. In this respect, the abandoned Masonic Temple at the corner of Church Street, looms especially large.

Ultimately, board members voted 6-0 to endorse the project. All were unanimous in their sympathy for the neighbors, and some suggested that the City Council move to address the parking situation regardless of the outcome before the Zoning Board.

Planning Board Vice Chair James Dring described the proposal as a “reasonable attempt to save the building.” Because the building is already there, he asked, “What’s the alternative?”

Planning Board Members are: Corey Bobba, Richard Carrubba - Chair, James Dring – Vice-Chair, Tanya Kelley, Deborah MelinoWender, Mary Moniz – Secretary, Michael Murray, Kim Salerno, and Lisa Weyandt.

Jamestown Welcomes New Chief of Police

The town of Jamestown recently welcomed the newly sworn in Police Chief Edward A. Mello, during a Town Council meeting on Monday, Sept.

19. Mello arrives in Jamestown after serving 23 years as part of the Westerly Police Department, the last seven of which were served as police chief.

The crowd at the council meeting was filled with members of Mello’s family, close friends and colleagues, including Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha.

Mello takes the position from Lt. Angela Deneault, who had been the interim police chief since former Chief Thomas Tighe retired this past June.

Mello was chosen from a list of 40 applicants.

Waves Window Replacement Given OK

By Tom Shevlin Nearly one year after Historic District Commission members drew a proverbial line in the sand over a proposal to replace two dozen windows at The Waves condominiums, the project was revisited – and this time a revised plan to replace 23 deteriorated wooden windows with historically accurate metal units, was lauded as a proper example of historic restoration.

Built in 1927 by acclaimed architect John Russell Pope as his personal residence, The Waves occupies a prominent place in both the geography and architectural history of Newport.

Pope was responsible for some of the country’s most recognizable designs, including the Jefferson Memorial, National Archives, and National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His Waves residence – perched along the Cliff Walk at 61 Ledge Rd. – remains regarded as one of the city’s true architectural gems.

Its metal-framed windows are considered by Commissioners to be part of the historic fabric of the building. However, battered by the sea and salt air, over time, the units had been replaced with lesser grade materials.

Last November, HDC Chairman John Shehan, who is a caretaker and designer for a separate unit in the building, had written a letter in opposition to a plan that would have allowed the installation of another round of Andersen-style replacement windows at the property. In the end, the Commission sided with Shehan, voting unanimously to deny the request. At the time, the applicant indicated that previous renovations had used

similar wood window frames. However, saying that two wrongs don’t make a right, commissioners set firm a precedent which challenged historic homeowners that when you have an opportunity to restore a property to its original intent, you should seize it.

Such was the case with the metal-frame windows. After identifying a manufacturer, the condo owners returned to the Commission, seeking this time permission to install aluminum or steel-frame windows of roughly the same size as the originals.

This time, Shehan (who recused himself from the proceedings) wrote a letter in support of the project that read in part, “It seems that a good deal of research has gone into finding an appropriate sash configuration as well as for the glass that is being used.”

Commissioners agreed, voting 7-0 to approve the request.

Also noteworthy was an application by Salve Regina University that would begin the process of restoring the Ochre Lodge carriage house. Located at 234 Ruggles Ave., the building had once been used as a residence, but in more recent years served as a storage facility for the school’s drama department.

With the Stanford White Casino Theatre now in operation, attention is now turning toward the historic carriage house. Project architect Ross Cann said that the intent is to restore the building and “bring it back to productive life.”

The application was also unanimously approved.

In other business, Commission members Voted to approve an application by Mark Fernandez to construct a second flood ad-

dition at 23 Sherman St. Approved, by a 5-2 vote, an application by Bruce Glassick to construct a rear addition and make various associated exterior alterations to 49 Third St. Approved an application by James Berwind to construct a new roof-top deck, remove a decorative chimney, and install new windows at 585 Ocean Ave. Voted in favor of a proposal by David Pedrick to relocate and restore a garage at 67 Second St. Approved an application by Thomas Cushing for window replacements at 66 Ocean Ave. A similar petition had been approved at the Commission’s August meeting; this application asked permission to use a different, composite window in place of the previously approved vinyl material.

Approved an application by Charles Nichols to construct a new chimney at 52 Third St. And approved an application by Historic Resorts, Inc. to make various exterior alterations and install an outdoor kitchen at 65 Ridge Rd., the home of OceanCliff Resort.

The following were also approved in summary judgment: An application for various alterations at 24 Mary St. by the Clarke School Apartments; an application by Khalid AlHamdouni for work at 32 Castle Hill Rd.; an application by the Redwood Library for improvements to the building at 10 Redwood St.; an application by Albert Nalle for alterations to 142-146 Spring St.; an application by Nuala Pell for improvements to her property at 45 Ledge Rd.; an application by Richard Burnham for work at Alpond Drive; and an application by Thomas Cadwalader for improvements to his property at 6 Green Place.

When we send our kids to school, we expect them to learn math, history, geography, reading and writing, as well as develop social skills, but what about health and wellness? Parents and teachers encourage students to develop a firm Shawna foundation and understanding of SNYDER the world around them to serve as stepping stones for them to become successful adults. In order for our children to have the energy to one day conquer the world, they must have the knowledge to keep them healthy and strong for the challenges ahead.

Thrive…

Thrive is Rhode Island’s Coordinated School Health Program, which supports all of Rhode Island’s administrators and policymakers, as well as the teachers and parents, in implementing a strong, supportive, and healthy environment to provide students with the means to achieve their academic goals. Some of its components are safety, nutrition, disease prevention, reduction of risky behaviors, community involvement, and after-school opportunities. Newport County schools, both private and public, offer a strong health and wellness curriculum that addresses a range of issues such as mental health, suicide prevention, sexual education, anti-bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, physical exercise and healthy food choices.

Dedicated and Compassionate Teachers all over the island are committed to ensuring the health of our children. School nurse Nancy Souza of Portsmouth Middle School has spent 24 years making sure that her students are healthy.

As a member of the school department’s health and wellness committee, she provides guidance on wellness policy. Souza also offers health advice in the school’s quarterly newsletter that goes home to parents, and she personally cares for up to 85 kids per day when they come to her office in need of help.

“I see conditions ranging from digestive upset to diabetes,“ explains Souza.

Action Based Learning Newport Elementary Schools benefit from Newport Family and Child Opportunity Zone (NFCOZ) which focuses on early childhood education, specifically by incorporating action-based learning to help students learn academic concepts through being physically active. Christine Arouth, Director of NFCOZ, believes a healthy, active lifestyle is key to academic achievement. Arouth explains that “the programs offered are meant to inspire

kids to try something new, observe their own personal progress while learning academic concepts, and develop life-long healthy habits.”

When a child enrolls in NFCOZ, he/she is provided with a healthy snack followed by 20 minutes of physical activity. Then they participate in a program of their choice that may involve art, dance, sports, academic support and/or leadership development. In addition to after-school programs, NFCOZ also encourages and supports teachers at Newport elementary schools, through professional development presentations, to integrate innovative teaching methods to enrich their academic environment with lively student participation.

Sports Safety At St. George’s High School, director of the Health Center, Eileen Tiexiera, maintains a healthy and active student body and reports that almost all students participate in physical activity six days/week.

However, accidents, sometimes happen on the field, and research indicates that people who suffer from even a minor head injury must be treated. Tiexiera takes concussions seriously by having the school participate in the ImPACT program, which is a computerized neurocognitive assessment to assist in determining an athlete’s ability to return to play after suffering from a concussion. “I personally feel that our lifestyle has a direct effect on every aspect of our lives including academic and athletic performance and, of course, trips to the doctor’s office.” Tiexiera claims.

We may think that health and wellness is a given, and is something many of us take for granted.

A healthy lifestyle is something that is adopted by way of example and practice, and is a lifelong endeavor.

To grow up strong takes work. We, in Newport County, can be proud of our community’s strength, dedication and comprehensive health education through which teachers and staff are instilling healthy habits in the next generation.

Even though the area around Newport’s Washington Square has a wealth of noteworthy historic buildings, the city does little to highlight them at night – and that’s a shame. That was the consensus of a recent forum held at the Jane Pickens Theater.

Ross The panel disCANN cussion on “Economic Development in Historic Areas” was introduced by Gov. Lincoln Chafee, and the panelists included Keith Stokes (Rhode Island Economic Development Director), Ted Sanderson (RI Historic Preservation Director) and Scott Wolf (Executive Director of GrowSmart RI). The panel was moderated by Joe O’Connor (WRNI general manager).

Each panelist brought a unique perspective to the discussion and there was a lively debate among the participants, even though they were all basically of the same opinion that Newport ( and Rhode Island) has an untapped resource for economic development in the form of the historic buildings that are currently unrenovated or unoccupied. (An excellent online video of the discussion is available online at www.NewportRecord.com.)

The topic that seemed to particularly resonate among the panelists was the subject of lighting. Given the current shortage of federal funding, both at the state and national levels, panelists agreed that community organizers will need to do more with less. Ted Sanderson, the state’s senior preservation officer, complimented Newport on undertaking the historic renovation of the Washington Square area for what (in governmental terms) was a very small amount of money. Keith Stokes, director of the RI Economic Development Corporation, identified lighting as an issue that needs to be addressed. Stokes, a native Newporter, knows Washington Square well and has seen it both fall and rise.

There are two parts to the lighting issue: an absence of sufficient lighting in the park at night to make people feel safe, and the lighting of the historic buildings to give them proper visibility and attention. As the nearly 250 attendees of the forum emptied out of the theater into the night, both issues were relatively evident: Washington Square was dark and dreary,

Other cities, such as Philadelphia, do a better job than Newport does of lighting their historic buildings. Shown here is Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. and the Old Colony House, where the after-panel reception was being held, was nearly invisible in the early evening dusk, although it is located just across the park from the Pickens Theater.

The great challenge that Newport has met magnificently is maintaining its great historic buildings.

Gov. Chafee, in his introduction, observed that 16 of Rhode Island’s 44 National Historic Landmarks are located within a one mile radius of Washington Square, including two buildings right on the Square: the Old Colony House (1739) and the Brick Market (1864). The designation “National Historic Landmark” is the highest given by the Department of the Interior and indicates that the building has a significance to the country as a whole. The density of these NHL-designated buildings around Washington Square is 500,000 times greater than the national average, and yet the city does much less than it should to honor and showcase these important structures. Keith Stokes observed during the forum that other cities, such as Philadelphia, have created “historic mile” tours with assets far less worthy than Newport’s.

The Washington Square Roots organization, which helped plan and organize the Economic Development Forum, is working to identify what can be done to improve the lighting situation and how funds can be raised to accomplish this important task. Various public events, like the celebration of the completion of the historic streetscape renovation in Washington Square and the annual lighting of the Christmas tree on December 1 as part of the “Christmas in Newport” celebration, might be oppor-

tunities to experiment with temporary light to determine what might work best and what might be affordable. If Washington Square can be better lighted, perhaps it can serve as a model for what can be accomplished elsewhere in the city and state. While historic areas need good zoning, historic preservation and myriad other requirements to assure their long-term prosperity, good lighting (both in terms of its quality and quantity) is an effective and inexpensive way to begin the process.

Ross Sinclair Cann, AIA, LEED AP, is an historian, educator and practicing architect living and working in Newport.

Celebrate John Clarke Day The John Clarke Society invites the public to a special lecture and celebration of the life of one of Newport’s most important historical figures: Dr. John Clarke, who procured the city’s charter of 1663 and whose ideas on the subject of religious tolerance were central to the founding of the new nation, the United States.

The event will be held in the Peter Harrison Room of the Redwood Library & Athenaeum on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 11 a.m.

Victor Nuovo, professor emeritus of philosophy at Middlebury College, will present a talk on the philosophical ideas of John Locke, who influenced Clarke with his views on constitutional government.

The event is free and open to the public.

FROM THE GARDEN Thyme for Herbs

The first chill in the air should be your signal to start harvesting your herbs for winter use. We have eaten lovely fresh basil all summer long, but now it is time to harvest what basil remains in your garden to make pesto and other herb preparations. Herbs are especially well suited for baking.

Follow any recipe to make your pesto. You can freeze it for up to three months. It is a great taste during the winter. Did you know that you can also make pesto from tarragon and parsley? Rosemary is too woody and dense for making pesto. Tarragon is quite strong, so you should use half of the amount of leaves called for in the pesto recipe, and replace the rest with parsley. Parsley makes a truly great pesto on its own.

Herbs are wonderfully versatile and make such a difference in everyday cookery. Herb popovers are one of my favorites. The herbs make a sublime difference in these popovers. There is nothing like a hot, plain, popover with butter and fresh raspberry jam, but these herb popovers are an extremely good variation.

tins are worth the investment and put the ‘pop’ in popover!)

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, and then beat in the flour and salt until you have a lumpy mixture.

Slowly beat in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the olive oil, thyme, and cheese. Do not add extra cheese, as popover batter is very thin. Should you add extra herbs or cheese, your popovers will not ‘pop.’ Ladle the batter into the prepared pan until the cups are half full. Bake the popovers for 30 -35 minutes or until golden brown, crisp and popped. Do not open the oven door while baking; if you do, the popovers will collapse. Serve immediately with butter!

Mint corn sticks are another great favorite. They do not stay on the plate very long! This recipe is simple, and the ingredients are in every grocery store, but homegrown mint makes the difference. A little dab of mint jelly compliments this Sunday morning specialty.

I do suggest that you buy a corn stick pan if you do not own one.

It gives a Southern flair to what would otherwise be just plain cornbread or corn muffins. These pans are easy to find in flea markets, gourmet and kitchen shops, and hardware stores.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Makes 12-14 corn sticks Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 1 egg 1 1/2 finely chopped fresh mint In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk and egg, and beat until well blended.

Butter or spray oil your corn stick pan or muffin tin and place in the oven for two to three minutes, then remove from the oven. Carefully and quickly, spoon the batter into the pan until each cup or mold is two-thirds full. Bake for 25 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown. Check for doneness with a toothpick or sharp knife. If the toothpick or knife comes out of the muffin clean, it is done. If not, leave them in the oven for a few more minutes and try again. The mint corn sticks are the best when you serve them hot, but you can serve them cold as well.

Herb butters are so easy to make you will wonder why you do not

keep a few in the refrigerator or freezer for everyday use. You can use one herb or two for an unbeatable flavor combination. I always save an herb leaf or herb flower to place on top of the herb butter when it is finished. The leaf or flower will remind you which herb is in the butter. After all, once herbs are minced, they are nearly all green.

The following herbs are best for the most flavorful herb butters: Marjoram, oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, dill, parsley, tarragon, and mint. The deep purple ‘Opal’ basil turns butter a pinkish color that is quite pretty.

Fresh Herb butter

Makes one half cup herb butter Ingredients: 3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs OR 1 1/2 tablespoons dried herbs 1/ 2 cup butter or margarine at room temperature.

Add the herbs to the soft butter in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Spoon into small ramekins, and place an herb leaf or herb flower on top. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months.

These butters are great on a plain popover, or on toast. They are also fabulous as a replacement for garlic bread.

Should you have a veal paillard or a simple piece of cod to sauté, if you use a dab of your favorite herb butter, the recipe is guaranteed to taste better.

If you are a bread baker, a most divine combination is the addition of fresh rosemary and thyme into a simple white bread recipe. Add two teaspoons (one teaspoon of each herb) per loaf. The aroma in the kitchen while the bread is baking is Nirvana! Herbs also turn an ordinary scone into a sumptuous savory bread. Just add two teaspoons of any herb to your your favorite scone recipe, and you will create a new baked favorite.

Herbs might be small in the garden, but they are mighty in taste.

Do not be shy using the herbs you grow. They surprise your taste buds!

Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Kate Reddy and Greg Kinnear stars as Richard Reddy in The Weinstein Company’s “I Don’t Know How She Does It.” tionally fragile for the high stakes career she has adopted. I am usually a total sap for a woman who is badly treated and overwhelmed by an avalanche of circumstances she had not anticipated. Here, I just felt that Kate’s character was pathetic.

Her husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) is a long-suffering soul who, although he has his own career ups and downs, is always ready to change a diaper, pick up the children’s’ messes and make love (if Kate can stay awake long enough for the latter). His attempts to assert his own personal wishes come across as shadows that get constantly outshined by Kate’s spotlight.

Moms battle for who is “best mommy,” with some always at the bake sales with homemade goodies, “The Momsters”, as Kate calls them. They are so vicious that I wouldn’t want to taste any of the goods they bake.

Has it truly come to this—a world in which a woman who pursues a career and motherhood enters a world of chaos and ill will?

How many waves of feminism and post-feminism have passed? Was anyone paying attention?

Then, we need a sexy subplot, so, in waltzes Pierce Brosnan as Jack Abelhammer. Jack is ready to ring Kate’s bell if given the chance, and we can’t miss the not-so-subtle play on words in his name. He’s actually a sweet, warm-hearted and lonely man, so he becomes one of the only sympathetic characters in this, otherwise, tedious flick.

Kate’s assistant, Momo (Olivia Munn), provides contrast to the Super Mom. Described as a walking computer, Momo can multitask practically at the speed of light.

She’s all business. She’s NEVER having children, she contends, as she watches Kate devoured by guilt while trying to excel at her job. This paves the way for the film’s only pleasant surprise, but I won’t encourage anyone to pay good money to see this in theaters.

You can wait for this little surprise. “I Don’t Know How She Does It” should be out on DVD soon.

Early on in “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” super mom Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) is heaped with praise by one of her friends.

The friend marvels, “She can do it without mixing vodka and Xanax.”

Huh? Are we watching “Valley of the Dolls,” modern mommy style?

Granted, the topic of medication doesn’t arise again, and the drinking is minimal from this Patricia point on. HowevLACOUTURE er, the seed has been planted. If you want a career and motherhood, be prepared to medicate and drink.

The film is based on a novel of the same title, and I have not read this particular book. I have no idea, therefore, if the nuttiness and high jinkx in the movie have been engineered purely for maximum audience amusement. I wonder how anyone could think that the balancing act of being a modern mom can be reduced to silly stunts and chauvinistic views of women’s place in the world.

Kate has a right to be a mess, the narrative asserts. She’s working on a major banking deal that will send her career into super high gear, and she’s walking down the street crying after she discovers that she has missed her son’s first haircut. Quite frankly, Kate is—purely and simply—a mess. She’s too apologetic and thanks people half to death.

And, there’s the casting choice.

Sarah Jessica Parker is so skinny that I bet one would be able to count her ribs and get injured by a nudge from a bony shoulder blade. Her mannerisms are waifish, which reinforces her tiny physique and makes her seem childlike (a toddler with grown up features) and much too physically and emo-

REEL REPORT Fall Fishing Blitz has Begun

By Tim Flaherty The autumnal equinox on Friday the 23rd marks the astronomical end of summer’s warm embrace.

To angling enthusiasts, however, it has an entirely different meaning: It marks the advent of the fall fishing blitz, for which fishermen have waited all year. Old-timers refer to it as “fisherman’s Christmas” because of the abundance of gifts it brings in the way of fish for the freezer and grill. The great fall fish migration has officially begun and, with that, the fish begin to feed voraciously. You had better change that old summer line on your reels and check the guides on your rods, for here it comes!

During this past week, huge schools of rain bait have descended the upper bay and are now all over the lower from the Pell Bridge to Castle Hill and along the Jamestown shore from Clingstone to Beavertail. Rain bait are small, silvery, bay anchovies that travel in

Ingredients: 1 cup of fresh, red sweet peppers, chopped One sweet onion, chopped 4 large cloves of finely chopped garlic, sautéed to a golden brown 1/4 teaspoon paprika Juice from ½ squeezed lemon Dash of black pepper and sea salt 2-3 pounds sea bass (filleted or whole) 3 tablespoons of butter 3 tablespoons of finely sliced almonds, browned in frying pan 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped parsley 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Directions: Preheat grill for high heat 1. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and peppers, sweet onion, lemon juice, almonds and sea salt. Sprinkle all onto the fish. Place in foil, wrap, vented on top. Add melted butter with the sautéed garlic and parsley.

2. When fish flakes with a fork, it’s ready. Fillets of bass will cook more quickly. Whole sea bass may take longer. Do not overcook.

(L-R) Uncle, Dick Komorowski, son Arthur Velishka and Dad, Major John Velishka, who just returned to Newport from a combat tour in Afghanistan, are all smiles, showing off their 80 lb. catch of bluefish, fluke and sea bass last weekend aboard FishFinder II. huge pods and, when observed on the surface, have the appearance of rain drops hitting the water. Rain bait are a favorite of striped bass.

Bass will herd them up toward the surface, into dense balls, then surge through them at great speed, swallowing hundreds at once with their huge mouths. We witnessed just that, over several days last week, near Brenton Reef and in the coves all along ocean side. Anglers were vainly casting plugs at these schools, but the bass were preoccupied with gorging on these little treats.

In the fall, as all this bait descends the bay, stripers can get picky as to which of your lures they will hit. An important rule old-timers taught me was to make sure your lure “imitates the bait” on which the stripers are feeding. In this case, those anglers using very small silver plugs or those fly fishing, caught fish, while those using large plugs did not. To find action, follow the birds.

They will find the feeding fish for you. Terns and small herring gulls thrive on these feeding opportunities, and those are the types of birds to follow. When they find pods being driven to the surface by preying fish, they will dive and hover over the rising bait ball, making it obvious where there is action.

Night anglers, fishing from the shore for striped bass, continue to get steady action as a continued result of good surf conditions last week. Sources report that fishermen are limiting out on bass, nightly, using chunked bait or by plugging eels at Raggedy Point, Graves Point and along the shoreline of the Cliff Walk. The Clambake Club to Elephant Rock and the surfers’ end at Second Beach were productive, too.

Large schools of bluefish, of various sizes, continue to patrol the mouth of the lower bay in the ear-

ly morning, looking to feast on the small baitfish. They can be taken, now, at the #2 Buoy and in deeper water at the Humps off Lands End. The ledge monster variety of bluefish can be found over the wrecks and at the huge, glacial rock piles several miles offshore. For guaranteed results, try deep-drifting whole pogies over the remains of the old Brenton Tower.

Fluke fishing remains slow, and the only keeper fish this week were taken in deeper water, near wrecks and glacial moraines. Although fluking has declined, the black sea bass fishing has been good. Sea bass, up to 4.5 pounds, continue to be taken while drifting. Try using stripped squid or pogy, cut in narrow strips of five inches “or larger to attract the attentions of those older “blueheads.” Remember: this species is not a bass family member, at all.

Black sea bass are related to grouper; its scientific name being centopristis striata. When born, they are all female. Then, after about eight years, they slowly transform into males. As male-gendered fish, they can live to 20 years and can grow to more than seven pounds. They are considered by many chefs to be one of the finest tasting fish in the sea. As our water temperatures cool below 50 degrees, sea bass will migrate south to winter in the warmer, deeper waters from southern New Jersey to North Carolina.

Now is the best time to stock up on this culinary delight, so don’t delay.

Merry Christmas, so-to-speak, and tight lines!.

Capt. Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island native, who taught high school and college history. He has been bay angling for over 50 years as was his father, Frank.

SPORTS

Vikings’ Watts and Islanders’ Durgin Have Huge Games Two local athletes turned in superlative performances in high school sports action last week, both against the visiting Burrillville High School Broncos.

Senior Rogers running back Reeyon Watts rushed for 171 yards on only 8 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the Viking’s football team to a 47-12 victory at Toppa Field on Friday Sept. 16.

Likewise, Middletown High’s Kaitlyn Durgin, a senior on the girls’ soccer team, ran roughshod over her Bronco defenders, by scoring the first four goals of the game in the Islanders’ 5-0 rout of Burrillville High at Gaudet Field on Monday, Sept. 19.

A standout player, on both sides of the line of scrimmage, the Vikings’ Reeyon Watts, #5 (above), playing defensive back, separates a Bronco wide receiver from the ball.
