In a sure sign of the season, cruise ships have been sighted with increasing frequency in Newport Harbor. On Wednesday, Oceania’s Regatta was anchored off Perrotti Park.

Is Newport experiencing an unreported crime wave? That's the question that's been swirling around town in recent weeks after a series of reported – and unreported – assaults have peppered the city, according to social media and unsubstantiated blog reports.

On Wednesday, city officials sought to tamp down the rumors, while also making it clear to community members that if you see something, say something.

Much of the uproar can be traced to an incident which took place two weeks ago when the owner of a popular Broadway restaurant was seriously injured during an altercation with a group of still unidentified individuals.

The incident, which is still under investigation, spurred a community meeting at the Newport Police

Saturday Market Overflows with Season’s Bounty

By Cynthia Gibson The weekly Saturday Aquidneck Growers’ market on East Main Road in Middletown near Newport Vineyards has many earthy delights at this time of year. The vendors, under crisp white tents, sell vegetables, pastries, jams, and jellies with justifiable pride.

Autumn brings out the fragrance of fresh earth from vegetables. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, beets, turnips, and carrots are all neatly stacked in piles and baskets. One of the standout vegetables is the White Salad turnip from Simmons Farm. This very round, almost porcelain-like turnip is so small that it resembles a radish. It is great for slicing and eating raw, making it a great addition to any fall salad. Simmons Farm will be open all winter long, so also look for their produce and fresh goat and cow cheeses during the holiday season. The herbed goat cheese is not to be missed and would be a delicious topping on thinly sliced White Salad turnips.

The Simmons Farm tent at the Growers’ Market also has a lovely selection of fresh peppers, hot and mild, as well as cabbages and an assortment of three-color string beans. Buy them while you can, because you will miss them all winter long.

At the market stand for Ballymachree Farm in Middletown,

wooden boxes spill over with newly dug sweet potatoes. They are huge! Not only are there the usual orange color sweet potatoes, but also a variety that is a lighter yellow color. There is no need to wait for Thanksgiving for sweet potatoes. They will keep in your refrigerator for about one week. The sooner you cook them, the sweeter they are.

Ballymachree’s potatoes are Corolla and Red Gold, white and red respectively. These potatoes are sold by the quart, ready to bake or boil.

Another highlight of the market is Wicked Natural of Bristol, with its jams and jellies. Wicked Natural Caramel Mustard & Dip won the Bronze Medal in a worldwide mustard competition at the Mustard and Condiment Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin.

Wicked Natural’s Blueberry Chocolate and Raspberry Chocolate jams are just as yummy as their names. For something different and incredibly tasty, try their new Fig and Caramelized Onion jam.

To even the scales (pun intended), The Local Catch has the best fresh skate wings, smoked bluefish, and local catch of the day.

Matunuck Oyster Bar is at the market as well, selling their bounty of locally farmed oysters Olga’s Cup and Saucer of Providence has the most enticing tomato tarts for sale. They are filled

Uptick in Science Scores

The time to get these tarts is right now, as tomato season is coming to a close.

Provencal Bakery has a table of their delightful breads. They also have a bruchetta that they can hardly keep in stock. This is really a non-baked fresh pizza on Italian

semolina bread.

Maplewood Farm, represented at the market by Eileen Shea, has beautiful Russian Banana potatoes for sale. Maplewood’s potatoes are always sweet, tasty, and have the oddest names.

Greenview Farm has a great selection of early winter squashes.

Rhode Island students in grades 4, 8, and 11 took the annual New England Common Assessment Program test in May, and the results from the test, which were released Sept. 20, reveal that statewide science scores are on the rise at all grade levels.

Besides Rhode Island, NECAP tests are administered in Vermont and New Hampshire, and are used to measure proficiency in reading, writing, mathematics, and science.

According to a release from the Rhode Island Department of Education, the statewide proficiency rate improved this year by 3.1 percentage points, meaning 34.8 percent of all students in Rhode Island are adept in science. Further, the results show a steady improvement of 11 percentage points since 2008 when the testing went into effect.

Among tested elementary school students in grade 4, 45.5 percent attained proficiency, an increase since last year of 1.8 percentage points. Middle school students in grade 8 attained 26.9 percent proficiency, an increase of 1.5 points. And among tested high school students in grade 11, 32

Scenic Road Named for Former Mayor

154 Mill Street, Newport, RI • (401)619-1130 www.mimisforkidsnewport.com •

Former Newport Mayor Robert J. McKenna had a bold vision for Fort Adams.

Last week, President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed and members of the McKenna family were joined by Governor Lincoln D. Chafee and Newport officials at Fort Adams State Park to dedicate a scenic roadway in his name.

The roadway, typically utilized by pedestrian traffic, stretches from the Fort Adams State Park Visitor’s Center to the west gate of the fort. It was renamed through legislation sponsored

by Senate President Paiva Weed and Rep. J. Russell Jackson in the 2012 legislative session to honor the former Newport mayor, who passed away in January.

“Bob McKenna enriched the lives of the Newporters who knew him personally and those who felt his impact through his many deeds on behalf of the city.

This is a fitting tribute to his lasting legacy in our community,” said Paiva Weed. “I was blessed to call Bob both a mentor and a friend.”

McKenna served as Mayor of Newport from 1988 to 1994, as a State Representative from 1969 to 1973, and a State Senator from 1974 to 1985.

A tireless proponent for the preservation and restoration of Fort Adams, McKenna served as a member of the Fort Adams Foundation and was a founding member of the Fort Adams Trust.

His wife, Mary Jean McKenna, was on hand for the dedication, and recognized the "many, many people" who have brought the fort to where it is today.

Giving credit to the late Sen. Claiborne deB. Pell, former Gov. Frank Licht, Sen. A.O. Taylor, and Col. Frank S. Hale, Mrs. McKenna lauded the efforts of the countless volunteers and state leaders who have had a hand in the fort's restoration.

"Bob had an abiding interest in the fort for 43 years,” she said.

“This means a great deal to me, and I know that Bob would be very pleased."

A 30-year teacher and administrator at Salve Regina University, McKenna was highly regarded in the field of higher education. For 18 years he served as President of the Rhode Island Independent Higher Education Association. He was also a member and served as Chairman of the New England Board of Higher Education, the Higher Education Assistance Authority, and the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority.

Governor Chafee observed, “Bob McKenna was a great Rhode Islander. He was a champion of his home city of Newport, of access to higher education, and of historic preservation, among many other causes. Our state has lost a legendary citizen, and I am pleased that Bob’s life and legacy will be honored with the dedication of Robert J. McKenna Boulevard at his beloved Fort Adams.”

A document from the collections of the Newport Historical Society will be featured on the popular PBS television show “History Detectives” on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. on WGBH. To mark the occasion, the Historical Society is hosting a free screening of the episode on that evening at the Jane Pickens Theater.

“The Revolutionary War-era document was discovered in the collections when our Buchanan/Burnham interns examined the papers of John Austin Stevens, a New York businessman and history buff who founded the Sons of the Revolution in 1876,” explained Historical Society executive director Ruth Taylor.

“It was found folded with other routine papers, but was clearly on much older paper. When it was unfolded, the document appeared to be an 18th -century plan of the Continental troops at Valley Forge.

Additional study indicated that it offered details not available on any of the known maps of the encampment. Clearly, this document needed further study and authenticating.”

“History Detectives,” which uses artifacts to explore American history, contacted the Historical Society earlier this year to propose investigating the origins of the fascinating but mysterious Revolutionary War-era plan. Society staff worked closely with the program's team during pre-production, and the episode was filmed in early summer.

After the episode screening at the Pickens, there will be a Q&A session where guests can ask questions about the map, its discovery and creating the episode.

“Because the Historical Society was established long before modern cataloging techniques were instituted, we have been working to bring the Society’s collections up to modern standards,” said Taylor.

“Who knows what else we will discover in the coming years?”

Fast Ferry Seeks Space at Perrotti

By Tom Shevlin The owners of the Block Island Ferry are hoping to begin highspeed ferry service from Newport to Block Island next summer.

In a letter to the city administration, Interstate Navigation Co. asked that it be allowed to use the floating docks at Perrotti Park as a basis for their operation. Currently used as a hub for private harbor shuttle operators as well as a debarkation point for cruise ship passengers, the downtown facility is already the city's most prominent public harborfront facility, serving as a gateway to and from the water.

If Interstate Navigation's plans play out, it's likely to become an even busier point of call.

Interstate Navigation currently operates a year-round conventional passenger and freight ferry service between Point Judith and Block Island. It also operates a seasonal passenger fast ferry service between Point Judith and Block Island. More recently, it has operated a limited seasonal conventional passenger ferry service between Newport and Block Island from Fort Adams State Park.

Earlier this summer, the company received a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) from the state's Division of Public Utilities and Carriers that allows Interstate to operate seasonal fast ferry service between Newport

and Block Island.

Interstate recently purchased a fast ferry, which the company says is currently undergoing "substantial upgrades and should be Coast Guard approved and ready for service by June of 2013."

According to Interstate, the 89foot fast ferry was built in approximately 2000, has a 250- passenger capacity, and twin caterpillar engines that generate approximately 4,400 horsepower.

Interstate's current plan is to discontinue the conventional slow ferry seasonal run between Fort Adams and Block Island, which operated just once per day, and took about two hours each way, and replace it with a more frequent schedule that would take passengers from downtown Newport to Old Harbor in less than an hour.

While a final schedule hasn't been set, Interstate expects the runs to begin toward the end of June 2013 and continue through Labor Day of each summer.

In addition to using the Perrotti Park docks, the company is also asking permission to use the downstairs counter at the Harbormaster's building to sell tickets.

"Our understanding is that this building is adjacent to the floating docks and that RIPTA formerly used this counter to sell tickets for their ferry," the company wrote. "In order for this new fast ferry service to be successful, the ferry will need

to operate from a downtown Newport location. The cost of purchasing and upgrading this new ferry is substantial and the daily cost of operating this ferry will also be substantial. Therefore, it is crucial that the ferry be in a position to immediately generate ridership between Newport and Block Island.

Interstate does not believe that this ferry service can be successful if it is operated from Fort Adams."

If approved, it would be the first time a fast ferry has operated from the facility since RIPTA discontinued its Providence-Newport ferry in 2010.

"We are hopeful that this new ferry operation will be beneficial, not just to Interstate, but will also be of substantial benefit to tourism in Newport," the company wrote.

"It will provide another recreational opportunity for visitors to Newport because they will be able to leave Newport in the morning, visit Block Island, and return without having to devote the entire day to the trip. Likewise, vacationers on Block Island who want to spend all or part of a day in Newport will be able to travel from Block Island to Newport, spend time in Newport shopping, visiting the mansions, etc., and then return to Block Island."

City Councilors were due to address the matter at their Wednesday, Sept. 28 meeting.

Toppa Field Eyed for Improvements

By Meg O’Neil Structural improvements to Toppa Field, the longstanding sports complex at Freebody Park off of Bellevue Avenue, could be on the horizon according to members of the Newport School Committee and City Council Liaison Subcommittee, which met on Tuesday, Sept. 25 for their regular monthly meeting.

Originally known as Freebody Park, Toppa Field was used from the mid-1950s to early 1960s as the site of both the Newport Jazz and Newport Folk festivals. In 1989, the City of Newport named the athletic field after John Toppa, who coached the Rogers High School football team for 32 years. During his tenure, Toppa’s teams won 11 state championships and 13 divisional titles, making him the most winning high school coach in Rhode Island history.

Although the field played a role in music and sports history, today, the committee and council agree that its condition has deteriorated.

Last month, School Committee member Rebecca Bolan said that when the press box was opened for in the football season, a family of squirrels and cement came crashing down.

“The field itself is in great shape,” Bolan said, “but the stadium cement is chipped and cracked everywhere. The rebar is showing to

the point that people can trip on it … It’s come to the point where’s a safety hazard.”

While the group agreed that the conditions of the playing field are fine, the aesthetics of the stadium seating need to be addressed. Besides the cement, Bolan reported that the large chunks of paint are also peeling and falling. Paint was last applied to the stadium in the early 1990s.

In September 2007, Salve Regina University approached the City Council and proposed to pay for a $1 million improvement to the facility. However, the deal never materialized, as the university instead partnered with Middletown in constructing a turf field at Gaudet Middle School with new bleachers, press box, track, and snack bar. The university and Middletown School Department share use of the facility for sporting events.

“The city had a tremendous opportunity several years ago when Salve Regina reached out to rehab Toppa Field to make it useful for Salve and Rogers football. Unfortunately, that never happened. Now we’re faced with major structural issues," Superintendent John Ambrogi said on Tuesday.

City Manager Jane Howington added that she sent staff to examine the field and provide a report on the condition of the stadium.

The Liaison Subcommittee will discuss further developments on field improvements at their October meeting.

In other business, with the recent spike in enrollment in Newport schools, particularly at the kindergarten level, the School Committee is in the process of creating a special committee that will examine over-enrollment scenarios at the new Pell Elementary School.

The committee will be comprised of two School Committee members, two school department administrators, and four parents.

Upon examining current enrollment, 29 of the 219 kindergarteners come from Navy families that are temporarily assigned to the Newport area. If the increase trend continues into next fall when the Pell School is set to open, Ambrogi said he believed the worst-case scenario would be that the two music classrooms at the Pell School would be temporarily converted into standard classrooms, and preschool classes would move to the old home economic classrooms at Rogers High School. “It’s not unusual to hold music in a classroom,” Ambrogi said. Councilor Naomi Neville responded: “It’s not unusual, but it was a problem you were trying to solve … (the student population) doesn’t fit as planned and that’s why people are annoyed.”

For What It’s Worth An elderly lady visited our gallery last week and brought in a crystal goblet for appraisal. She said that she had 12 and all were in excellent condition. She wanted to know who made them and the value.

Though unsigned, we attributed her goblet to the Moser Factory of Bohemia and they were probably made around the turn of the 19th century. The goblets are encrusted with heavy gold decorations.

Rare to find a set of a dozen, we would value the 12 conservatively at $1,200 for the set.

Different sizes were made in this pattern for various wines, liquors, champagne, etc. — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques (The Drawing Room offers free appraisals by appointment.

Call 841-5060 to make an appointment.)

Fire Prevention Message: Chimney Inspection- The National Fire Protection Association recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and associated vents be inspected at least once a year (Exception: Type B and BW gas vent chimneys used only for gas-fired appliances). Additionally, all connectors, spark arrestors, cleanouts, and tee fittings for chimneys and oil or pellet venting systems should also be inspected annually. Even if you don’t use your chimney much, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use. An inspection is the best way to determine if cleaning, maintenance, or repairs are needed.

Middletown Family Day Rogers Alumni The Middletown Substance Abuse Task Force (MSAPTF) is sponsoring its third annual Middletown Family Day event on Sep. 30 as part of the national movement that informs parents that the engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep kids substance free.

“The research shows the importance of families sitting down at the dinner table together on a regular basis in reducing the likelihood kids will smoke, drink or use drugs,” says Lori Verderosa, MSAPTF Coordinator.

Middletown Family Day will include free activities for families, such as Zumba Fit for Kids, an Obstacle Course, a Bounce House, and Rhythm & Song Celebrations. There will also be nutrition and recipe information provided by URI Nutrition, and a Trail Mix bar where kids can assemble their own healthy trail mix from snacks provided at the event.

“Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children™” is a national movement launched by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University in 2001 to remind parents that frequent family dinners make a difference (casafamilyday.org). MSAPTF hosted Family Dinner events in 2010 and 2011.

MSAPTF will also provide information about other initiatives it is spearheading in the community to raise awareness of the issue of underage drinking in Middletown.

Recent survey results show Middletown teen drinking rates are higher than the state average, with 41% of the town’s high school students reporting use of alcohol in the past 30 days, versus 34% statewide.

Middletown’s 11th and 12th grade rates, 43% and 50%, are particularly high.

EDITORIAL Yes or No to Casino?

N

ewport voters will have an important decision to make this November beyond our normal politics.

Looming over the ballot will be a pair of questions asking voters both statewide, and here locally, whether to allow table games at Newport Grand. If approved, it would effectively complete the former jai alai fronton's conversion into a full scale casino.

The importance of the question cannot be overstated, as either way, the vote promises to carry with it far-reaching and unforeseeable impacts on Newport's economy, culture, and community.

As Dave Rogers, one of the hosts of WADK's Open Forum program observed recently, this could very well be the last time Newporters are asked to weigh in on either side of the issue.

If approved, Newport Grand would be permitted to install table games such as roulette, black jack, and poker within its current facility as soon as July 1, 2013.

Company executives claim that the move is needed in order to compete in what is becoming an increasingly competitive (and even crowded) casino market. Without full-scale gaming, they say, the business is doomed, and along with it, about 200 jobs.

Opponents believe that rather than doubling down on gambling, Newport – and the state – should begin planning for a life without casinos, and refocus their efforts to transform Rhode Island's economy to lure new businesses and retain younger generations. With the right vision, we could be at a turning point in this regard.

So, does Newport want to be host to a casino?

It's easy to see both sides of the issue. Ultimately, it's a question that will be answered by the community. But before we get there, perhaps we should ask ourselves some of the following: If the measure passes, will the ownership group (who by all accounts have been good neighbors and generous members of the community) be inclined to sell to a large, out-of-state vendor? And if so, what is the likelihood that the land around the current facility could be developed?

If the measure fails, is Newport prepared to absorb the potential loss of Newport Grand as a business and employer within the next decade?

Other questions that come to mind include: What impact will the facility have on our new elementary school being built just up the road? Is being a "casino town" the message that we want to send to potential new families and businesses? How will the city manage without its share of gaming revenue? How will the decline of Newport Grand impact the North End? And, alternatively, how would the ascension of Newport Grand impact downtown?

We're curious to know how you feel. Write to us to let us know at 86 Broadway, Newport, RI 02840, or via email atnews@newportthisweek.net.

Society's Mission is 'Preserve' To the Editor: As a native Newporter who is passionate about the Breakers and the accurate preservation of Newport history, I am outraged at the proposed wasteful expenditure of $5 million for a completely unnecessary Welcome Center on the grounds of the Breakers that will destroy elements of the historic landscape of one of Newport's most priceless treasures. This action is irresponsible on the part of every one of the Trustees and Leadership Team of the Society with a mission of preserving the treasures of this great city, historically intact, not modified and developed. It is

also an outrage that at a time in our economic history when so many Newporters suffer from economic hardship such a wasteful expenditure is so non-chalantly debated with such superficial and indefensible arguments. If the Preservation Society has $5 million to spend on such a wasteful undertaking and shameful interpretation of the mission of Historic Preservation, it obviously does not need memberships and gifts and perhaps citizens considering them should re-think that investment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote Against Table Games in Newport To the Editor: Most locals that I've spoken with are against it. A majority of those who say that they are voting yes are doing so with mixed emotions, expressing the sentiment; “I don't really want to vote yes but it’s already here, we need to save the jobs and the revenue”, etc..

Question 8 (the host community question) represents the first time that Newport voters have been allowed to vote our wishes regarding Newport Grand since 1973 when the Jai alai referendum was approved.

In 1992 the General Assembly circumvented our right to vote on the issue by approving the VLT’s during one of their infamous late night votes during the finalization of the 1992 budget, supposedly operating the slot machines through the Jai Alai license which, according to them was technically not an expansion of gaming, which in my opinion is ludicrous. That midnight vote advanced Newport Grand's field position to, at the very least the 50 yard line on their way to becoming a full fledged casino. Newport citizens woke up the next morning to hear the news that slots were coming to Newport whether they liked it or not.

Slowly but surely we have had our shoulders pinned to the wall and that's forcing many people to approve something that they don't want.

We have been played like the proverbial fiddle. It's like the gambling interests and politicians in this state have loaded a gun, placed it to our foreheads, wrapped our fingers around it and are telling us that WE have to to pull the trigger.

Newport Grand paints a dire picture for Newport if Newport Grand ceases operations. But let’s look at the numbers: 180 employees, 60% who live on the island, that’s 108 locals working there, 72 who live off island.

30 million to the state in gaming revenue but currently only $500,000 to Newport and if we believe Newport Grand’s projection under the new arrangement that figure rises to $800,000. Less than 1 million annually to Newport for playing host to this expanded gaming.

Twin River’s gaming revenue is 307.7 million dollars a year, ten times more Newport Grand.

Point is: I think Newport and Rhode Island could absorb the loss if indeed Newport Grand closed.

Ironically, in her testimony to the House Finance Committee on Feb.

29, 2012, Ms. Hurley stated that Newport Grand would survive if the table games are denied but the company would have to do some “belt tightening."

Table games at Twin River will most likely be approved by both RI and Lincoln. Twin River claims that with table games they will add at least 350 jobs, more than enough to absorb Newport Grand’s workforce. Increased state revenue from Twin River could supplant possible revenue loss from Newport Grand.

I’m not saying the situation would be totally painless. However, I‘m not sold on the forecast of Newport’s ruination without Newport Grand.

In fact, I believe that in the long run we will be be much better off.

We survived the loss of the Navy fleet and emerged better for it.

It would be great to see Newport’s largest undeveloped commercial parcel of land utilized to its full potential, employing hundreds more than currently employed there — jobs paying a real “living wage” providing real products and services without the social ills and other downsides associated with casino gambling.

Phony 'Survey' on Table Games

Games Yes, Toll, No

To the Editor: On Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012, a call came in asking if I would participate in a six minute survey for the city of Newport. The questions were all slanted toward promoting the vote in favor of the referendum to add table games for craps, roulette, blackjack, and poker at Newport Grand. From the start, the facts used to promote gambling tables were a gross exaggeration and wildly inaccurate. The phony survey was an advertisement for the passage of the vote. It is disingenuous to take a person's time under false pretenses. In my opinion, such behavior validates my opinion that the values of the Newport Grand do not reflect the values of the majority of Newport's residents. According to a recent article in the New York Times (Foxwoods Is Fighting

To the Editor: As we celebrate the opening of the Sakonnet River bridge (no other added name), we here on Aquidneck Island want no tolls attached to our everyday crossing to Tiverton and beyond, so take notice, Governor Chafee et al!

I am not at all some hare-brained, dimwitted casino gambler; however for those locos and those many wonderful tourists who are, let them all spend their pocket change and dollars at the Newport and Twin River Casinos, and we'll use that nifty percentage of money it provides to cover both the Newport and Sakonnet Bridge repairs and maintenance, so we can eliminate those unwanted and exorbitant $4.00 toll rates for tourists, and/or unwise locals and commercial travelers.

Let's get real so the Aquidneck culture and their welcome tourist trade can well use some percentage of those gambling profits margin but not the politicians using same to their self-serving enjoyments and it'll make everyone's life better to live out! RI road/bridge travel must remain free!

for Its Life, March 14, 2012) casino gambling is in decline around the country from Foxwoods to Reno, Nevada, as more states legalize online gambling for the younger generations -- who only gamble over the Internet.

This clearly was not an official city survey but a promotional phone call. Why would a legitimate survey end with questions about the owner of the casino? It's well known that she wants open table gambling so that she can sell Newport Grand to out-of-state interests.

Newport, and its poor, do not need this threat to their slim livelihoods.

Let's give a resounding answer to such trickery: a "No" on November 6th to any expansion of casino gambling.

OPINION

LOSE THE WEIGHT

For a STEM Charter School Newport County needs a Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Charter high school.

These exist in other parts of the country , the top 12 are listed on the web site:http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2011/08/19/12-besthigh-schools-for-stem-education/ While the recent Chicago teachers strike is contentious, what is amazing, is that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has crossed party lines and insists that an integral part of their solution to their inferior high school gradation rates is the establishment of five high schools focused on science, technology engineering and math.

While I am not inferring that we have similar graduation rate issues, I do feel that we need to enhance our STEM offerings to our County high school students.

We, your public servants, have made a gallant effort with limited success over the last two years to evaluate and develop a regional approach to education. The prime focus of the effort was to enhance the level of education for our County high school students.

A recent skills gap study reinforced the fact that, while our high schools and teachers deserve an A+ in their efforts, due to circumstances beyond their control, a lot

of our high school students are not graduating with the STEM skills that they need to fill open jobs in the marketplace today.

I am convinced that if a county-wide STEM charter high school were built in Newport County, students who are actively seeking careers in these fields would flock to it.

Funds do exist for the creation of such a school at the Rhode Island Department of Education.

I would encourage a meeting of stakeholders on the island to discuss such a school. I am told that representatives of the Rhode Island Department of Education would be happy to attend and provide information about the application/ development process, background on charters, and field questions on behalf of RIDE. The first step of a successful regionalization or collaboration effort is to provide an educational experience that would be attractive to all area high school students. What better starting point than the development of a Science Technology Engineering and Technology Charter high school in Newport County!

MARKET

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 green squash is just great. Bake this squash just as you bake acorn squash. The taste is sweeter and definitely delicate. Their cabbages, baby bok choy, and peppers are exquisite, with not a blemish in sight.

Sweet Berry Farm has huge muskmelons at the market for $5 each.

The Coffee Guy sells fresh-roasted beans and wonderful cold-brewed iced coffee.

While you are strolling among the tents, you will hear the delightful voice and guitar-playing of Dennis Bristow. What a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning! The market is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October. The Newport Wednesday market also continues though October, from 2 to 6 p.m. on Memorial Boulevard at Chapel Street.

ASSAULTS CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Station last week and has prompted city officials to take a proactive stance in dealing with similar reports.

On Monday, City Manager Jane Howington said the assault – which occurred at night in the off-Broadway neighborhood – does not appear to be connected to other rumored, or unreported, incidents in other downtown neighborhoods.

Nor does the activity represent what police would consider to be gang related activity.

Nevertheless, the situation was troubling enough for Howington to call an afternoon press conference on Wednesday.

Hoping to clear up various rumors filtering through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, Howington said that the police investigate all reported incidents and urged Newport residents to notify public safety officials of suspicious behavior and known assaults.

"What we're doing, is tracking back to some of these claims and trying to find someone with verifiable knowledge of what these assaults were," Howington said, adding that "some of those assaults have never been reported to the police."

That point was confirmed last week during a community meeting with police.

The meeting, which drew over two dozen people, circled around a number of issues impacting the Off-Broadway neighborhood – from public intoxication and drug use to noise, reports of loose pit bulls, and most pressing, the recent rash of assaults.

Community Police Officer Jimmy Winters led the meeting, briefing community members on what he said were at least three reported assaults in recent months. However, citing an ongoing investigation, Winters was only able to speak in general on terms.

Others were more direct, telling Winters of issues at the Edward Street Playground, locations of known problem houses, and giving

personal testimonials of vandalism and intimidation by neighborhood youth.

One attendee also told Winters that he has received several reports from members of the city's Hispanic community who have been attacked on their way home from work. Typically occurring late at night, the attacks have seemed to target restaurant workers flush with cash from the day's work.

The attacks have gone mostly unnoticed for the last few weeks, but they were a topic of conversation during a recent meeting of the Discover Newport board of directors.

However, as of Wednesday, according to Lt. William Fitzgerald, despite reaching out to the Hispanic community, his office hasn't been able to directly confirm any of the alleged assaults.

Acknowledging that "people are in a bit of a panic mode," Howington suggested that the city was reaching out to the hospitality industry to come up with ways to guard against these types of incidents.

"We work a lot with Salve Regina University to make sure that the students there are educated about their rights and responsibilities and to make sure that the students are safe," she said. "We haven't done the same kind of outreach for the hospitality industry."

"We spend a lot of time building bridges" in the community, Howington added. By that, she means, the police are constantly seeking out people who are in positions of power within various communities.

And so far, she said, there's simply no indication that Newport is any less safe than in previous years.

"We don't have an assault problem," she said. While she stopped short of saying that there has only been one assault involving strangers, she did urge restraint when posting a rumor or story to Facebook and Twitter.

"If there are rumors of assaults," she said, "before posting, let's call the authorities; call your councilor;

tell your boss."

With the hospitality industry so vital to the local economy, Howington said that it's important to guard against a "snowball effect."

"I'm beginning to hear that the hospitality industry is feeling assaulted," she said, referring to the negative press and rumors circulating over the last few weeks.

For Chief Gary Silva, the challenge for his department is twofold: First, he said, his detectives simply have not been receiving some of the same kind of information that might be circulating through the community; and secondly, what information is coming in is often not verifiable, or received directly from the individuals involved.

"We can't control social media," Silva said, adding that it's "very dangerous" for people to report and pass along information that may or may not be based in fact.

While the city does experience an increased number of incidents ranging from assaults to disorderly conduct during the summer, according to Silva, there has been no noticeable uptick this year as compared to years past.

Howington noted that the city is currently in the process of developing social media tools for use by its police department to provide residents with real-time information.

A Facebook page can be found online at www.Facebook.com/NewportRIPolice.

She also said that it's important not to overlook normal seasonal activity as a contributing factor in the high volume of police activity – from assaults and noise complaints, to graffiti and motor vehicle accidents.

"This is a safe community - a very safe community," Howington said.

"But people still have to be careful here."

For his part, Officer Winters urged vigilance. "As long as we know about a problem, we can usually solve it," he said.

City Seeks to 'Engage' Residents At the same time as they work to respond to reports of recent assaults in the North End, city officials are encouraging residents to take part in a series of upcoming open houses designed to take the pulse of the community and strengthen ties between citizens and City Hall.

Dubbed, "Engage Newport," the program will consist of four outreach sessions held in different parts of town.

City Manager Jane Howington explains that the effort is part of a broader push to increase communication and make City Hall more accessible.

"We want the community to know that we care about what they think, and that what they think matters."

And while she acknowledges that government can be "really boring" at times, Howington is hoping that the sessions will showcase the lighter side of municipal affairs.

In addition to offering plenty of time to ask questions and meet with city staff, there will be raffles, quizzes and familyfriendly entertainment.

The city will also be doing a couple of YouTube videos in preparation for the event and partner organizations like the Potter League, Save The Bay, and Bike Newport will all be involved.

If the event is well received, Howington hopes to extend the outreach effort into next spring, when she hopes to carry out a series of neighborhood walkabouts where residents would be able to air out – street by street – their concerns and questions.

"My aim is really to make people look forward to events that the city is involved in," Howington says.

The Engage Newport events will be held: Thursday, Oct. 11 at the Quaker Meeting House 6-8 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 20 at Fort Adams State Park 9:30-11:30 a.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 23 at the Maritime Center on Thames St. 6-8 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Rotunda at Easton’s Beach 10 a.m.noon

SCHOOL SCORES cONTINUED FROM PG. 1 percent attained proficiency, an improvement of 6.3 points.

Locally, Rogers High School was one of only nine high schools that made statistically significant improvements since 2011. Other area high schools on the list were Barrington, Narragansett, and North Kingstown.

In 2011, juniors at Rogers tested 11.9 percent proficient in science.

This year that number jumped to 29.5 percent – a 17.6 percent increase. Since 2008, the science proficiency score at Rogers has risen 13.7 percent “It’s certainly good news,” said Newport superintendent John Ambrogi. “The science department has worked hard at improving the scores beginning at the elementary and middle school levels, and ultimately at Rogers, because the critical score is the exit score from high school. We’ve done a great job at improving that and we’ll continue to work at that. It’s a credit to the staff and we celebrate our victories.”

A closer look at how all Newport schools scored on the science section of the NECAP test in May 2012: At the elementary level: Coggeshall School: 3 percent

of students were proficient with distinction, 46 percent were proficient, 29 percent were partially proficient, and 23 percent were substantially below proficient.

Cranston Calvert: 0 percent proficient with distinction, 36 percent proficient, 36 percent partially proficient, and 28 percent substantially below proficient.

Sullivan School: 0 percent proficient with distinction, 20 percent proficient, 51 percent partially proficient, 29 percent substantially below proficient.

Underwood School: 3 percent proficient with distinction, 65 percent proficient, 32 percent partially proficient, 0 percent substantially below proficient.

Middle school level: Thompson Middle School: 0 percent proficient with distinction, 18 percent proficient, 53 percent partially proficient, 30 percent substantially below proficient.

High school level: Rogers High School: 1 percent proficient with distinction, 28 percent proficient, 42 percent partially proficient, and 29 percent substantially below proficient.

Zoning Board Approves Miley Hall Expansion

By Tom Shevlin The city's Zoning Board of Review voted unanimously on Monday to approve a proposal to expand Salve Regina University's Miley Hall dining facility.

The project, which had been contested by neighbors during last month's Historic District Commission meeting, had been amended slightly to accommodate a pair of objecting parties. It was heard without objection before securing final approval.

The plan, which calls for adding a two-story, 3,000-square foot addition to the building located at 2 Ochre Point Ave., had already received the support of both the city's Planning Board, and earlier this month, the HDC. Plans on file at City Hall show a number of improvements being made to the 33,000-sq. ft. building, most notably the addition of a new 100-seat dining hall on the second floor, expanded bookstore on the first floor, new student lounge with

work stations and storage, and administrative office space.

School officials argue that the expansion is needed to better position the school to compete with other institutions of similar size.

Neighbors, however, had voiced concerns over the massing of the building, as well as the potential adverse impact that could arise from the building's increased use.

Several design changes were made to the project in response to the objections, including installing additional landscaping, and installing an exhaust filter on the facility's main grill.

University officials had been meeting for the last few months with neighbors about the project and had expressed their committment to ensuring a desirable outcome.

Once complete, the project will represent the latest in a string of new construction projects and historic renovations undertaken by the 2,000-student university.

In other business, board mem-

bers approved the following: An application by Joshua Fagan to construct a new detached shed at 5 Heath St. A petition by Warren Vanvelzer to increase the size of a deck at 95 Bliss Mine Rd. A petition by Peter Martin to construct a detached shed at 1 1/2 Willow St. An application by Daniel and Jocelyn Mulligan to maintain a second floor deck and stairs at 116 Van Zandt Ave. An application by Nancy and James Dugan to construct a new dining room addition with deck at 15 Canonicus Ave. An application by Katrina and Warren Mead to demolish an existing home and replace it with a new dwelling. The application required a height variance to accommodate new federal flood zone requirements.

One application, a petition by Doris Oliveira to maintain a deck at 3 Beacon Ct. was denied.

12-Metre Race Results Each of three racing days at the 2012 12 Metre North American Championships (Sept. 21-23) in Newport started out chilly and overcast but gave way to sunshine and wind ample for eight races. The races were held in the same location where the America’s Cup races took place for over five decades.

From 1958 to 1983, the America’s Cup racers were 12 Metre yachts.

Taking the overall win in the event for the Pine Brothers Trophy was Dennis Williams (Hobe Sound, Fla.) and his Victory ’83 team. Their performance in Modern Division topped all others from the Grand Prix and Traditional Divisions; the team won all of its races over Ralph Isham’s (New York, N.Y.)/Alex Aursberg’s (Newport) Courageous and Jack Curtin’s (New York, N.Y.) Intrepid, which took second and third in the Modern Division, respectively.

“We want to be the best boat in the regatta,” said Williams sealing his win on Sunday. Upon receiving the Pine Brothers Trophy, the twotime defending 12 Metre North American Champion and 2009 World Champion credited his crew for their “virtually flawless” work and tactics.

Dennis Conner (San Diego, Calif.), skippered KZ-7 (Kiwi Magic) in Grand Prix Division with many of his old Cup team members along with U.S. Merchant Marine Academy cadets. (KZ-7 is currently owned by the Merchant Marine Foundation.) By winning two of the three races, Conner established his lead over Kip Curren’s (Newport) KZ-5 and James Heckman’s/Andy MacGowan’s (Washington, D.C./Middletown, R.I.) USA. It was a lead he never let go, and it left his two adversaries in second and third place, respectively.

“The boats are all pretty evenly matched; whoever gets ahead is hard to pass,” said Conner. “We started in front, though, and we know how to stay there.”

“Dennis has done nine Cups,” said Whidden. “He said he didn’t want to stop, because he always wanted to be one ahead of me. I learned a lot from him. He’s a good sailor and that was a good time in my career.

I was young and coming up; that’s the kind of break everyone hopes they get.”

The skipper/tactician combination was a match-up paralleled in star power only by Ted Turner (Atlanta, Ga.) and Gary Jobson (Annapolis, Md.) in the Traditional Division.

Turner, who won the 1977 America’s Cup on Courageous with Jobson, chose to skipper the 12 metre he once owned, American Eagle, which sailed under its charity-associated name American Eagle/Hope for the Warriors. Turner’s team conceded to Alain Hanover’s (Weston, Mass.) Columbia in all but one race over the first two days and turned in two bullets for the last day, but Columbia still won the North American title by only two points.

“In our division there were only two boats,” said Hanover, “so we were doing everything in the book to mess each other up. In half the races the lead changed at least a dozen times; it was a fantastic series, the closest of my life.” Hanover recounted one race that thrilled everyone, when American Eagle edged out Columbia by just a hair at the finish line. At the awards ceremony, Turner said, “This weekend was wonderful; it was some of the closest racing ever. Congratulations to Columbia, who won the series, but, by God, we’ll get ‘em next year.”

Tom Whidden praised the owners for what they have done with the 12 Metres. “It’s cool to keep the class going,” he said. “To have people passionate about it is a great thing. I would hate to see these boats go away.”

By Patricia Lacouture “The Master” defies easy categorization, but it is certainly a deeply psychological drama.

A drifter named Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is being “processed” into a movement known as “the Cause” that appears similar to Scientology. In one scene, guru Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) stands beside Quell, who Dodd believes is close to a spiritual breakthrough. The light suddenly becomes washed out – the screen so bleached that it feels as if we are looking at the scene through a blizzard. Cinematographer Sven Nykvist, who was Ingmar Bergman’s long-time collaborator, describes this phenomenon as “dead light,” very flat, with no shadows.

This movie moment held this viewer spellbound, because it was so devoid of life that it seemed as if Quell was dying.

The “processing,” as conducted

by Dodd and his wife Peggy (Amy Adams) and adult children (Amber Childers as Elizabeth and Jesse Plemons as Val), resembles a kind of metaphoric death. Surely, Quell needs help. He’s been dispatched from the Navy because he interpreted Rorschach tests as purely sexual. He’s an alcoholic hooked on his own home-brewed moonshine.

He’s a transient who can’t hold down a job.

Quell finds himself on a cruise ship sailing in deep waters (more symbolism there) for the wedding of Elizabeth and Clark (Rami Malek).

He asks Dodd, “Is this your ship?”

Dodd replies, “I’m its captain.”

CALENDAR Sunday

Joaquin Phoenix stars in “The Master”, rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity and language.

After the wedding, the ship disappears. Where it goes remains a mystery, just as much of “The Master” drifts in ambiguity. The tension is almost palpable, and the dialogue is oblique.

In parlor shows, Dodd gives public displays of taking people to past-life and in uteri experiences, and does other experiments.

“The Master” has amazing performances by Phoenix and Hoffman. Chronic alcoholic Quell is pale, with no zest for life, no burning desire even to do anything, even to get out of bed in the morning. Hoffman’s face, so florid at times that he looks like he’s about to have a stroke, manifests an iron will, a dogged determination, and the come-hither grin of a snake-oil salesman. At the Venice Film Festival where the film premiered, the two actors tied for the Volpi Cup award for Best Actor.

The musical score makes one feel the chill of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, with his hypnotically musical rhythms. Repetitive chords call to mind the music of Bernard Herrmann, especially in Hitchcock’s “Psycho” and “Vertigo.” Jonny Greenwood, of Radiohead, composed the score and previously worked with director Paul Thomas Anderson on “There Will Be Blood” in 2007.

People will be talking about “The Master.”You should see it if you don’t want to be like the Scientology spokesperson, who said of the film, “We have not seen it, so we can’t say one way or another (whether we have concerns about it).”

Jamestown Fish Will Reel You In

By Jonathan Clancy

This was the first summer for Jamestown Fish, a cool, wine-centric, European-inspired restaurant that combines culinary creativity in an elegant yet-casual atmosphere.

With views of Jamestown’s quaint downtown and harbor, Fish offers a menu that changes daily but typically includes eclectic dishes. The beverage list is impressive, and so is the selection of bottled beers. There are over twenty imports and microbrews available – Einbecker, Ayinger, Unibroue, Brooklyn, Pinkus, and Pretty Things, just to name a few.

Hitachino Nest Weizen from Kiuchi Brewery was my choice. It’s a rare find, especially in a restaurant and for only $8! This is Japan’s answer to an old German brew. Hefeweizens, or wheat beers, are generally lighter-style brews, and they pair well with white fish.

Silver Snapper with Exotic Mushrooms, Anson Mills Farro, and Sherry-Ginger Broth ($24) would be the perfect meal to accompany my beer.

Thai cuisine 517 Thames St., Newport www.thaicuisinemenu.com

TO GO: Jamestown Fish 14 Narragansett Ave. 423-3474 jamestownfishri.com.

Our server brought us fresh “Fish Bread” from Provencal Bakery in Middletown, a hearty special recipe requested by Fish executive chef Matthew MacCartney. It has a crusty rustic exterior and a warm sweet center.

I started with the Homemade Mozzarella and Roaster Peppers ($10) as an appetizer. The mozzarella melted in my mouth while the sweet pepper danced around my palate. The Hitachino paired pleasantly with the subtle soft cheese, as both are light and full of flavor.

The snapper was redolent of ginger and brown sugar, moist and tender with a hint of brine. As for

the brew, it was crisp and clean, with undertones of banana, clove and vanilla, perfectly suiting the flavors of the fish.

For dessert, I had Homemade Espresso Ice Cream with Caramelized Bananas ($8).

The ice cream was light and bursting with rich roasted espresso.

The caramelized bananas brought warmth to this cool treat, along with a touch of gooey sweetness.

Fish’s classy, simple ambiance will reel you in, as it did me. If you’re still thirsty after your meal, you can head upstairs to the new Bridge Bar. Fish owners John and Cathy Recca describe the room as “sexy,” and it is. Dark burgundy walls, black trim, and large photos by famed photographer Onne van der Wal accompany a first-class view of the bridge itself through the windows and off the back deck.

Jonathan Clancy, of Middletown, has an affinity for quality food, craft beer, fine wine, and dark spirits. He has over ten years experience in the beverage industry, and spends his free time training at Two Swords Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, surfing, and playing the bass.

NATURE

Wily Squirrels Defeat Hawk Attack

By Jack Kelly There are many signs that the season is changing. One of them interesting sights is the frantic nut gathering by the local population of tree squirrels. They are a sight to behold as they dash around oak trees seeking acorns for winter storage. They can also be found zipping around chestnut trees in search of horse chestnuts. The squirrels will bury their nuts close to the trees that hold their nests.

The squirrels of Morton Park are

the ground quickly seize the nuts and take them away for storage.

Occasionally, one squirrel will stop, sit up on its rump, and furiously eat an acorn. Considering the energy spent in pursuit of the oak’s fruits, this is entirely understandable. There are lessons to be learned from the squirrels as they prepare for winter and act in partnership to assist each other.

However, there is danger for the squirrels if they become too focused on the acorns and ignore

a very industrious group. Beginning at dawn, they gather and bury acorns from the numerous oaks in the park. They are models of kinetic energy as they scurry around the trees securing the nuts. One of the methods that the squirrels employ is to jump from small branch to small branch, shaking loose the objects of their desire. Squirrels on

their surroundings. Predators such as Red-tailed Hawks, coyotes and domestic canines may be lurking close by, waiting for a chance to pounce.

Recently, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks, one an adult female and the other a juvenile, were soaring over the park. It was most likely a hunting lesson for the juve-

nile. The juvenile suddenly pulled in its wings and dived towards a squirrel running across an open area of the park. The squirrel must have sensed the attack, because it quickly changed direction using a great burst of speed. The young hawk was caught off guard and aborted its dive while the squirrel raced to a nearby pine tree. The squirrel seemed to be headed toward a nest 25 feet or so up the tree. Meanwhile, the other squirrels raced to find safe haven.

The adult female Red-tailed hawk flew into the tree and began to rip the nest apart with her sharp and powerful talons. The juvenile flew to a tree limb close by and observed the lesson in progress. While the female shredded the nest, the wily squirrel slipped out the bottom and made its way down the other side of the tree, out of the sight of both raptors. The squirrel rapidly vanished into the underbrush, safe to continue its quest for winter nuts.

The hawks continued to dismantle the nest until they realized that it was squirrel-less. They flew out of the pine and soared up into the sky to continue their hunt. After approximately 30 minutes, the group of squirrels slowly and cautiously began collecting nuts again. It was just another day of nut gathering in Morton Park.

On Tuesday, September 25 there were two juvenile Black Skimmers on outer Third Beach, not far beyond the boat launch. (Photo by Rey Larsen)

Circle Hooks Are In

By Tim Flaherty Rain and wind kept anglers at the dock for part of this past week.

Ledgemonster bluefish continue to slam bait near the wrecks and humps off Ocean Drive. On Thursday, Sept. 20, we got into some of these fish south of Beavertail, and a few of them tipped the scales at 14 lbs. and 34 inches. The blues in the bay are smaller now and can be found at the Pell Bridge and in the deeper water at Rose Island and Castle Hill.

Surface fishing has improved, with pods of striped bass and bonito showing up during morning hours along the shore from Hammersmith Farm to Castle Hill. On Sunday, the birds were busy in the morning at Butterball Reef and Agassiz’ Beach, as school bass and bonito drove small bait fish up and onto the rocks. Kevin Ring of Newport had some luck surface-plugging at Cliff Walk last week, landing a few bass in the 30-pound range.

Known by his friends as Ringo, he is an enthusiastic local angler who fishes in any weather for big bass.

The third annual Newport Shootout fishing tournament was held last weekend. This event is run by Patrick Sweeney of Goat Island Marina to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. According to Sam Toland of Sam’s Bait and Tackle, more than 30 boats participated. The prize for the biggest striper went to Pete Nickerson for the 35-pounder he took at Block Island.

The biggest bluefish was a surprise win for John Pinero, who almost did not weigh in his small 6-pound blue, thinking it had no chance of winning. Congratulations to all participants and thanks for helping a worthy cause.

Black sea bass fishing is improving as the species begins to school up for migration. Sea bass are in deeper water, to 70 feet, and hitting on stripped squid. Try for them at Brown’s Ledge near Noman’s Island. Sea bass are also on the top of humps off Ocean Drive and the Coddington Cove breakwater.

Scup continue to move to deeper water preparing for their migration. There are still some smaller scup in the shallower water at the reef. Your best bet is to work deeper water with a rocky bottom. Chumming is crucial to a good scup

catch; try using crushed mussels or clams.

I have not talked much about terminal tackle in my past reports.

These are the hooks and rigs anglers use. Selecting tackle is one of the most important decisions an angler makes. Perhaps the best hook in the arsenal is a simple, strangely curved hook called a circle hook. The arc of this type of hook is so curved, it is nearly closed. It appears as if it could never catch a fish. But after much testing, I have found the circle hook to be the most effective: It’s a humane tool, in that it hooks fish in the lip 90 percent of the time, making for an easy release. Its efficacy will increase landing rates. The circle hook is self-setting: You do not have to set the hook with your rod, because the fish, itself, sets the hook. This is great for novice anglers. For striped bass, try using a #5-#8 size for optimal results.

Most serious fishermen understand the critical importance of water temperature. It is the single most important factor in fish behavior, determining when fish mate, feed, and migrate. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reported alarmingly elevated water temperatures at all levels of the ocean and especially in inland waters. An 11-degree increase in the bays and estuaries of the mid-Atlantic states is cause for alarm to marine biologists and fishermen. Local anglers also have seen some of the highest water temperatures ever in Narragansett Bay. In the Gulf of Maine, increased water temperatures have been blamed for the early lobster molt this past season, which has disrupted that industry.

The survival of bay life is crucial to the future of the Ocean State.

What can anglers and concerned citizens do? One can act by supporting elected officials who will protect and preserve the bay. Make sure your voice is heard in Providence and Washington. Climate change is our new reality.

Tight lines!

Capt. Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island native who taught high school and college-level history. He has been angling for more than 50 years, following his father, Frank Flaherty.
