A Family Legacy Continues For the first time candidates for the Fire Chief’s position were solicited from outside of the Newport Fire Department as well as from inside. The charter change considerably broadened the field of eligible applicants.

Tree Society Promotes City’s ‘Green Architecture’ By Katherine Imbrie When Tropical Storm Irene passed through Newport at the end of August, it got a lot of people thinking about trees: Worrying whether trees would fall, picking up the pieces when they did fall, and pruning broken limbs and branches in the aftermath. Members of the Newport Tree Society, including its president and founder Lillian Dick, are always thinking about the city’s trees. The Society, which was founded in 1992, works in tandem with Newport Tree Warden Scott Wheeler in an ongoing program of maintaining, protecting, replacing and planting new trees along streets and, more recently, on private property that is visible from the sidewalk. Homeowners can request that the city plant a free specimen tree, suitable to the location, along the street or up to 20 feet in from the sidewalk. “We want to get away from the idea that all city trees are placed right on the street, because most trees do better in an environment that more closely matches their natural environment, which is the forest,” explains Wheeler. Fortunately, Irene did not do significant damage to the city’s trees overall, says Dick. She credits an ongoing program of pruning and tree maintenance by both

NEWPORT – A familiar face will be taking the reins of the Newport Fire Department. City Manager Edward F. Lavallee announced on Friday the selection of Deputy Fire Chief Peter Connerton to assume the position of Fire Chief of the Newport Fire Department. Connerton, who comes from a long line of Newport firefighters, was selected from a pool of 47 applicants. He succeeds former Chief Harry F. Hallgring, Jr., who announced his retirement in May. “I’m floored, I’m flabbergasted, I’m humbled,” Connerton said on Monday. “It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time.” Both Connerton’s father and his grandfather served as chiefs during

MIDDLETOWN – The seven members of the Middletown Town Council unanimously endorsed the West Main/Coddington Development Center Master Plan Monday night during a regular Council meeting at Town Hall. The endorsement represents the first step toward implementing the plan, which would happen in phases over the next 2-10 years, according to the urban design consultants who developed the plan. “This is the most important decision we as a Council can make regarding a vision for Middletown,” said Councilor Chris Semonelli before the vote. The West Main/Coddington (WMC) plan calls for a heavily landscaped, pedestrian-friendly mix of retail, office, residential, and municipal spaces along an approximately 14-acre stretch of West Main Road from Coddington Highway north to Valley Road. This core area of development consists of land west of West Main Road, and includes four parcels, three of which are currently owned by the Town: the Recreation Com-

Demolition of a rundown property at 1 Friendship St. got underway this week. The work is associated with a plan by David and Deborah Whalley, who own and operate Newport Prescription Center, to redevelop a pair of adjacent properties located at 283-287 Broadway and 1 Friendship St. The Broadway property has been home to the Whalleys’ pharmacy business since 1985, as well as an adjoining liquor store, hair salon, and cafe. The Whalleys are hoping to significantly redevelop the property, transforming the block into a modern one-story building with expanded retail, pharmacy, and restaurant space. After suffering an early blow at the hands of the Planning Board, which voiced opposition to the demolition of the three-family Victorian at 1 Friendship St., the Whalleys won the unanimous approval of the Zoning Board in March to move forward with the project. While the building at 1 Friendship St. was noted to have some historic characteristics, both the city planner’s report and a report by the historic preservation planner indicated that the proposed development wouldn’t have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood.

Later in the evening, Bike Newport organizers and community members joined with city councilors for a special workshop to share their ideas on how to encourage a more active and safer cycling environment.

Renderings from the West Main/Coddington Development Center Master Plan suggest the vastly different character envisioned for the stretch of West Main Road from Coddington Highway to Valley Road. The plan calls for a walkable environment with heavily landscaped areas and a mix of retail, office, residential, and municipal spaces.

MIDDLETOWN CONTINUED FROM PG.1 plex, the Public Library, and the former JFK Elementary School. The fourth parcel is the former Navy Lodge property at the corner of Coddington Highway and West Main Road; that piece is in the process of being transferred to the Town according to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). During a public hearing portion of the meeting before the vote Monday night, Middletown resident Manny Mello expressed concern that the plan would require acquiring land. “I don’t know why you’re thinking about doing this plan if you don’t own the land,” said Mello. Town Administrator Shawn Brown indicated that the only property in the core area for which the Town is currently in talks regarding acquisition is the former Navy Lodge property, and those talks are part of the BRAC process. The Town is seeking an Economic Development Conveyance for the parcel, which means there will be a financial agreement reached between

Middletown and the Navy. Adjacent parcels west of the core area are included in the WMC study and to implement that part of the plan, the town would enter a partnership with the owners of those parcels, which include The Landings housing development and the Coddington Cove Navy housing development. “Our plan is to work in a private-public partnership for those areas at some point in the future,” said Brown. “This proposal puts the Town on the record for what we want to see happen, and ensures another developer won’t come along and do something else,” said Council VicePresident Bruce Long, before the vote. The WMC Master Plan was prepared by urban design consultants Vanasse Hangen Brustlin during the past 18 months, and the study included several rounds of public hearings, interviews with stakeholders, and discussions with Planning Board and Planning Department leaders. The final plan is

available on the Planning Department page of the town’s website, middletownri.com. In other actions Monday night, the Town Council received a preliminary list of Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects from Town Administrator Shawn Brown and Planning Department Director Ron Wolanski. The TIP list includes projects that would occur during FFY 2013-2016 and for which the Town is seeking state funding; a prioritized list is due to the State by Oct. 28. The projects must include aspects of mobility benefits, cost-effectiveness, economic development, environmental impact, and local support. Projects on the list, which must be prioritized by the Town Council in the next three weeks, include left turn lanes on West Main Road, safety improvements at the intersection of Aquidneck and Green End Avenues, and the construction of sidewalks on Aquidneck Avenue from East Main to Green End Avenues.

Administration Pushes Forward on Land Use Plan By Tom Shevlin A plan that could prove to be an invaluable tool for city leaders in managing the city’s open space could be in front of City Council members within the next two months. So says City Manager Edward F. Lavallee, who has made the development of a comprehensive Open Space Management Plan his final project before leaving his post in early December. According to Lavallee, the plan, which would provide council members with a framework for dealing with city-owned parks and buildings, is being designed as a guiding policy document aimed at ensuring continuity in and the responsible management of public property no matter who is in office or within the ranks of the administration. In July, Lavallee convened what would be his last staff summit to

go over the concept. The meeting, which brought together department heads and other key personnel from across City Hall, focussed his attention on seeing that a broad-based vision for managing the many public parks and brick and mortar properties within the city, was needed. If adopted by the City Council, the final report could then be linked to the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. With demolition of the Sullivan School now underway, and the anticipated closing of the city’s remaining elementary schools not far off, Lavallee believes the plan is being developed at the right time. In recent years, the city has also entered into a number of agreements with the Aquidneck Land Trust, providing for the perpetual conservation of numerous public parks. Such a strategy will be re-

flected in the plan, Lavallee said. But so too will guidelines for the redevelopment of prime real estate including the Underwood School property, Coggeshall School, and other city-owned buildings. Lavallee said that he planned on updating at least a portion of the council earlier this week during a planned visit to a pair of cityowned reservoirs in Tiverton and Little Compton. As if that’s not enough, Lavallee also said that City Hall would once again be offering a visitor’s guide designed to introduce new and temporary residents to the ins and outs of city government. The pocket-sized booklet had been one of Lavallee’s earliest projects. Geared toward Navy personnel and Salve Regina University students, it had been quite popular when it first debuted, but had fallen out of circulation in recent years.

For What It’s Worth

Custom House Coffee First On Board with MLKCC The Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center is launching a new fund raising program, called 10% Returns, in partnership with area businesses. The participating businesses will donate 10% of the sales price of the designated products or services under the program to help support the many vital functions of the Center. “This program encourages people to buy from local businesses,” says Marilyn Warren, executive director at the Center. “It makes it very easy for people to give to their local community center by simply buying in local stores. Everyone wins.” The first local business to participate in the program is Custom House Coffee in Middletown. It has designated one of its new roasted coffees, a Brazil Cerrado bean, to be part of the program in order to call attention to this new offering in the store. “We are able to generate more awareness for this new item by placing the 10% Returns graphic on the coffee bags,” says Robert Mastin, owner of Custom House Coffee in Middletown and one of the developers of the 10% Returns program as a board member at the Center. To become a business partner call or email Alyson Novick at the Center at 846-4828 anovick@mlkccenter.org.

Dear For What It’s Worth: Our cat knocked over this lamp recently and broke it. Who made it and what was it worth? — A disappointed cat fancier! Dear Disappointed: The color images you emailed show a brilliant turquoise lamp with aesthetic/ Japanesque designs. This could have only been made at the Longwy factory in France. Established in 1798, your lamp probably started out as a vase and was made in the late 19th century. After 1865, under the direction of Ferdinand and Hyppolite d’Huart, the factory, competing with China and Japan, hired an Italian, Amédée de Carenza, to create a Persian cloisonné line of production like your lamp. With a value of between $650 and $750 your cat should be more careful!

EDITORIAL Embracing Change So it is that as we find ourselves in the transition between seasons, we also find ourselves as a community in the midst of change. This week we welcome the formal appointment of a new fire chief. By all accounts, longtime Newport firefighter Peter Connerton has proven himself a worthy successor to retired Chief Harry Hallgring, Jr. To say that Connerton understands the challenges facing the city’s fire department would be an understatement. To the point, Connerton comes from a family whose traditions are inextricably entwined with the department. Both his father and grandfather served in the department – both earning the rank of chief. Connerton appears to have the faith and confidence of the rank and file; he performed well during Tropical Storm Irene; and has demonstrated an early command of the various administrative tasks that fail to a chief. Though the city looked for the first time outside of the department to fill the position, we cannot help but be pleased with Connerton’s selection. Newport Now 2.0 On the subject of change, we’re hoping that you’ll be pleased with the improvements we’ve made to our online sister publication, Newport-Now. The site, which was launched in July 2009 as a free community news hub, propelled us to return Newport This Week to local ownership and has continued to break stories and serve as the foundation for our live coverage of news and events around town. Now, in what is our first major redesign, we believe we’ve made some significant improvements to our online home. Here are some of the features you’ll find in the second generation of Newport Now: • An integrated, and fully searchable Event Map • Automated Calendar Listings • Dedicated Blog Section • Location-based Business Directory • Facebook and Twitter integration • And Daily E-mail Newsletter We’ll be adding additional features to the site as we move along, and to be sure, some of the most exciting things are still to come! We hope that you embrace the changes, as we believe they will make Newport Now a more robust vehicle for delivering the news and information that are so essential to our community.

OPINION Programs Could Improve Schools Two programs that our county high school students could benefit from would be a Naval JROTC program, and a five-year high-school program that would include an associate degree at the Community College of Rhode Island. The subject of a Naval JROTC program was presented to the Middletown School Committee recently, and the Superintendent of Schools was asked to review the proposal and report back to the Committee with a recommendation at their next meeting. There has also been much interest by members of the Portsmouth School Committee, the Tiverton School Committee, and the MET School. A regional approach to this program would make sense. The Navy League has also endorsed the concept and the development of an ad hoc committee to review the topic. A Naval JROTC Program will not only build character but help build a strong sense of

service to community and country in our high school students. If they continue on they can have wonderful careers in the service, and if they decide not to continue in the program they will have established a set of skills that will be extremely valuable to them in the future. The subject of a five-year highschool program leading to an associate degree is being evaluated at high schools in Maine; such a program exists in other parts of the state of Rhode Island. This program could be developed with the local CCRI campus and allow local high school students to enter the job market at the end of the five years with a set of skills and a degree to help them be very competitive in the difficult workforce that exists today. They could then decide to either continue on for a bachelor’s degree in a field of their choice or enter the workforce with established credentials. CCRI

President Ray Di Pasquale, who is also acting commissioner of the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education, has agreed to discuss this topic. Nearly two-thirds of the graduates of Rhode Island’s high schools who enroll at CCRI need to take remedial classes when they get there — a troubling reflection of the state’s public school system and a burden for its only community college. “What it all comes down to is: Are students ready for the rigors of college or whatever they want to do after high school?” said Di Pasquale. “Are they prepared? And we know from our numbers, they are not.” The above two programs would help our local high school students become better prepared for the challenging real-world work environment today.

Tall Ships to Return Newport will once again play host to a Tall Ships festival. Organizers for the Ocean State Tall Ships Festival announced plans to assemble the popular vessels in Newport right on the heels of the America’s Cup World Series next July. The event, which is scheduled to run from July 6-9, should provide a nice boost for the island’s economy, and showcase prominently Rhode Island’s own tall ship, the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry. The ship, which was named after one of Rhode Island’s most celebrated Naval figures, is expected to be completed just in time to take part in the celebration. That’s fitting, too, because next year’s tall ships gathering will be held in concert with the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, in which Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry provided a critical victory against the British on Lake Erie.

Prescription Drug Take Back Day On Saturday, Oct. 29 the Middletown Police, CVS and the Middletown Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force are collaborating with the DEA to host a local site for the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. The Middletown Police Dept., 123 Valley Rd. will be one of the state’s local drop-off points between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Boxes will be available to dispose pharmaceuticals in the lobby of the station.

Police Chief Search Entering Final Phase By Tom Shevlin As Newport welcomes its new fire chief, the search for the city’s next police chief is entering the home stretch. City Manager Edward F. Lavallee said on Monday that he was scheduled to meet with the members of a search committee he appointed to screen the more than 70 applicants that applied for the city’s top law enforcement post. Lavallee, who said that he hasn’t spoken to the group for several weeks, was slated to sit down with them on Monday to review their recommendations and “see what kind of progress has been made.” Like the process that governed the fire chief’s selection, the search for a new police chief has been carried out quietly and very much behind the scenes. As a result of a change in the City of Newport Charter, for the first time candidates for the police chief’s position were solicited from outside of the department as well as

from inside. But as in the decision to appoint Deputy Chief Peter Connerton to lead the fire department, the fact that outside applicants are allowed – and even encouraged – doesn’t mean that someone from outside the department will be selected. The one thing that can be certain is that given the demands of managing a police force for a city as dynamic as Newport, whoever is selected will have to possess strong leadership qualities and require little in the way of onthe-job training. Lavallee plans to begin personally interviewing the screening committee’s top choices once he has seen them in hand. At that point, it will be up to him as public safety director to appoint a new chief. That decision is expected to be made in the coming weeks. Capt. Gary T. Silva has been serving as interim chief since Michael McKenna retired in June.

Selecting A New Fire Chief When former Newport Fire Chief Harry G. Hallgring, Jr. announced his retirement last spring, the news set off what proved to be an in-depth and studious process to find his successor. In a news release issued following Deputy Chief Peter D. Connerton’s promotion to the department’s top job, City Manager Edward F. Lavallee, described that process in depth. As Lavallee explains, the first step was the appointment of a three member screening committee to “review applications, conduct whatever research they considered necessary, conduct interviews, and produce a short list of the top candidates for consideration.” Subsequently, Lavallee would conduct additional interviews of the top candidates. As a result of a change in the City of Newport Charter, for the first time candidates for the Fire Chief’s position were solicited from outside of the Newport Fire Department as well as from inside. “The charter change considerably broadened the field of eligible applicants. In recognition of this change in condition the screening committee included fire chiefs from other communities who themselves have transitioned from one municipal fire department to successfully assume the fire chief position in another local fire department. The experience of these members was considered relevant to give due consideration to candidates from other fire departments applying for the Newport job,” Lavallee wrote. Orientation given to the screening committee by the city manager and human resources administrator was explicit: looking for a candidate to readily assume the leadership position in the fire department; meaning that this appointment would not be given to a candidate demonstrating a measurable need for on-the-job training. Accordingly, the committee was charged with the duty of selecting applicants who best demonstrated the skills, education, initiative, and competency to immediately assume the leadership and management duties incumbent in the fire chief’s position. During such a process, the city manager assumes two administrative titles for the City: Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Public Safety. As such, it is

the exclusive responsibility and unilateral authority of the manager to directly appoint or confirm the appointment of all employees of the city. In the case of the appointment of department directors, the manager assumes a more direct role in the interviewing of top candidates, as the directors are members of his administrative staff. Further, in the case of fire chief and police chief positions the manager, as public safety director, has a more direct interest in the candidate’s technical competency, paramilitary management acumen, and demonstrated leadership skills. The use of an outside screening panel to initially review and screen all applicants provides a valuable dimension of experience and perspective to complement internal interviews. In the case of this appointment process, by direction of the city manager the screening committee was given exclusive and uninfluenced authority in the review and analysis of the applications received, in the screening and selection of candidates for further review, in the determination of candidates to be invited for personal interviews, and in the establishment of a final list ranking the candidates. Upon completion of their tasks, which took several months, the screening committee presented the city manager with their top choices. Subsequently, the manager, assisted by the HR Administrator, interviewed the top candidates as ranked by the screening committee. In the end, the manager’s ranking of those interviewed paralleled the ranking provided by the screening committee. In both interview processes the number one candidate was judged to be distinct as the unequivocal top choice for appointment. “The candidate field was broad with applicants presenting backgrounds and experiences that are impressive and competitive,” Lavallee said in a statement announcing the appointment. “To emerge from the initial screening and interview process as a candidate recommended for a second interview is meritorious. To be distinctly ranked as the top choice in both interview stages illustrates the impressive showing of the candidate and the corresponding confidence that the independent bodies have in their recommendation for appointment.”

FIRE CHIEF

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

their service in the department. His formal promotion is scheduled for Friday. Pinning on his new rank will be his father. Connerton, who had been serving as interim chief since June, had impressed both Lavallee and the three-member outside search committee charged with narrowing down the applicant field. “I was totally impressed with his performance over the last four months,” Lavallee said. “He’s the complete package.” The job, which was advertised on national professional websites to give the notice full exposure, had for the first time been open to applicants outside of the city. But according to Lavallee, the search committee, which was made up of a pair of chiefs from other towns as well as an outside town manager, ranked Connerton as their number one choice. That, coupled with his interview with Lavallee, made the decision easy. Still, because voters had signaled in a 2006 charter amendment that the city should no longer exclude outside applicants from being considered for the chief’s job, Lavallee said that he went out of his way to encourage a wider selection pool. “I was giving a lot of opportunity for an outside chief to come in,” he said. However, in the end, Connerton rose above the rest. “I’m really on cloud nine,” the newly-annonced chief said. “I know the city, I know the department…I know where we’ve got to go.” In addition to working cooperatively with other department heads, Connerton said that he has gotten a lot of support from inside the department since taking over the chief’s job. He also has had a sort of baptism by fire. During his time as interim chief, he has been at the helm for a number of well-publicized rescue calls and a pair of significant house fires. He was also the point person for the city during its preparation and response during Tropical Storm Irene. “It’s been hectic,” Connerton reflected. “The job definitely entails a lot more than I thought. But I’m up for it.” As for his thoughts on carrying on the family tradition, he added, “It’s probably the best present in the world I could have given my father.” Connerton has been given his grandfather’s badge, which he said he’ll wear on his dress uniform.

Cars pulled over to the side of the road so that passengers could watch the plume of dust and debris falling to the ground as two massive excavators took down Sullivan School on Dexter St. This was the latest step in preparing the site for the future construction of the Claiborne d. Pell Elementary School. Soil abatement, completed last week, removed the naturally occurring arsenic found in the site’s soil. Since then, demolition crews have been tearing down several of the school’s buildings, including the

gym and a wing of classrooms in the back of the facility. The speed of the demolition was a welcome sight for Jo Eva Gaines, member of both the Newport School Committee and Pell Building Committee, who visits the future construction site daily to take pictures of the progress. “They’re making hay!” Gaines said excitedly, happy to see the swift work of the crews. The crews still have a few weeks to finish clearing the land, as the groundbreaking for the Pell School is tentatively set for Nov. 15. “At the rate they’re going, though, who knows?” said Gaines. “We’re always hoping for earlier, because it will move the process along faster, but we tend to take the safe route in estimating those dates.” Superintendent John Ambrogi added that the date of the groundbreaking will be an event to which “the Western world” will be invited, as it has been years in the making. Before the groundbreaking can occur, the Pell Building Committee has one last major step to take: choosing the contractor firm and crew that will ultimately build the 100,000 square-foot mega-elementary school, a building that will eventually house all Newport elementary students.

According to Gaines, the five pre-screened applicant firms vying to be selected for the project may submit their bids beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 12. Contractors in the running are Bacon & Agostini Construction, based out of East Providence, Dimeo Construction, from Providence, the H.V. Collins Company, which is also based in Providence, J & J Contractors, Inc., a company from Lowell, Mass., and finally, the Farmington, CT based KBE Building Corporation. Once approved by the Building and School Committees, the contractor, along with HMFH, the Cambridge-based architecture firm chosen to design the school, will begin construction of the $30 million school, which is scheduled to be completed by April 2013. The first inhabitants of the Pell School will be the Sullivan students who have been moved to the Triplett Elementary School location on Broadway while demolition and construction are underway. They will move into the new school for the remainder of the 2012-2013 school year, and will be followed by the remaining elementary students from Underwood, Coggeshall, and Cranston-Calvert in the fall of 2013.

TREES CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 port’s trees,” says Dick, adding that before that time, the designation of Tree Warden was given to whoever was the head of Public Works. Today, with input from the Tree Society, Newport’s citywide tree program encourages the planting of a wide variety of trees in order to help maintain the character of the city. Planting many kinds of trees is important both in terms of aesthetics and for long-term sustainability, explains Wheeler: “With all of the pests and diseases that can attack particular species of trees, it’s all the more important that we plant many different kinds of trees.” Also, he says, people tend to think in terms of just a few familiar trees for planting along streets: oaks, ashes, and London plane, for instance. But there are many other trees that are suitable for city planting, such as the native Hornbeam, a fast-growing, deciduous tree that has some characteristics of a beech, but without the beech’s vulnerability to disease. A particularly healthy Hornbeam is at the corner of City Hall, where it was planted about 16 years ago to replace overgrown Yews and other shrubs. Its graceful, green-leaved branches now reach well past the second floor, and its sturdy trunk is firmly anchored in the ground. “You can see why it is known as ‘ironwood,’ “ says Wheeler. Dick adds that the Hornbeam is one of her favorite trees, and one that remains little-known and underappreciated. “It tolerates city conditions very well, and it keeps a regular shape – bushy at the bottom and narrowing at the top – that is particularly suitable next to a formal building

like City Hall.” Across Broadway, a line of young Elms was planted four years ago to replace flowering Pear trees that were not doing well in that location, says Wheeler. “Those Elms are of the new, disease-resistant type, and they will in a few years provide a canopy of shade over the sidewalk without blocking the shop signage. Historically, Elms were planted along main streets like Broadway, so they are historically appropriate there.”

A Harbor Built for Three By Tom Shevlin When Newport first began toying with the idea of luring cruise ships to the city as a way to boost tourism during the fall shoulder season, more than a few wondered if the concept would ever take off. Today, it’s become commonplace to find the harbor dominated by not just one, but oftentimes two, massive ships ferrying visitors up the New England coast for what has become a rather popular fall cruising season. In recent weeks, Newport has played host to a number of highprofile vessels, including Cunard’s twin ocean liners, Queen Mary 2 and newly-launched Queen Elizabeth. The ships, which normally begin arriving in the spring, are frequent visitors through summer and early fall. They bring with them tourists from all corners of the country and Europe, packing tour buses and flooding into downtown

from the Perrotti Park. But adjusting to its newfound popularity as a cruising destination has required some refinements on the part of the city. Newport Harbormaster Timothy Mills on Tuesday said that he’s submitted a proposal to regulators that would expand the allowable anchorage for such ships off Goat Island. The proposal, which has been sent out to harbor operators for public comment, would expand Federal Anchorage Area D to provide more room during multi-vessel stopovers. According to the chart, if approved, it would also allow for as many as three vessels to anchor in the harbor at the same time. But according to Mills, that’s not something he’s prepared to see happen with any degree of regularity. The need to expand the anchorage area, he said, is simply the result of the sheer size of the cruise

ships that are now calling on Newport as a preferred port. It was an issue that first came to light last summer, when according to Mills, two larger vessels fell into a dispute over the anchorage area. One vessel, Mills said, was forced to anchor further afield than it would have preferred, placing its stern outside the bounds of the designated area. While not a deterrent for cruise ship companies, that experience led Mills to seek the proposed expansion. And while the city has in the past accommodated three cruise ships at once, his proposal is not meant to clog the harbor with more vessels. “My staff is pretty flat out when when we have two in town,” Mills said. Introducing a third simply could be too much, he said. The proposal now heads to federal regulators, who have final say over the plan.

Scholarship Tribute Reaches a Decade of Giving As a blissful native Newporter, Brigid Erin Kelly spent her 20 years making her mark upon the island. In the midst of a proud Irish community, she took competitive energy from years of traditional Irish Step Dancing and applied it to everything she found passion for. Brigid was an able student and both a spirited athlete and coach. She was a resilient model to the women whose lives she influenced, and a favored ally to her family and friends. This December brings the 10th anniversary of Brigid’s loss, and the town she touched continues to celebrate her memory. Annually, Newport rallies to honor the generosity and opportunity which Brigid has faithfully personified. The Brigid E. Kelly Scholarship Committee assembled rigorous canons at its creation in 2002, inspired by these matchless qualities. Graduating female students who have earned their education and excelled over the course of their four years at Rogers High School are encouraged to apply. Considered candidates have shown their ability to pursue their interests, hav-

ing participated in sports or extra curricular activities throughout their high school careers. In appreciation for a dream that Brigid was unable to satisfy, the applicant Brigid Kelly must also 1981–2001 be pursuing a degree in the field of education. To date, ten young women have fit this distinction, and they have been supported by this memorial scholarship as they follow their hearts and fulfill their educations. Brigid was a secondary education major at Salve Regina University, concentrating on history at the time of her devastating car crash. Just two weeks after her 20th birthday, Brigid was also the head coach for the Rogers High School cheerleading team and actively assisting with the school’s track team,

as their high jump guru. Each one of these scholarship recipients is a toast to Brigid’s life and echoes her altruistic approach. The hope and intention which she brought to her 20 years will be passed on each year as her scholarship alters the lives of similar and brilliant women. In our ritual effort to keep Brigid as a vital element in the future of Newport’s educators, the scholarship committee will soon host its last yearly fundraiser. After 10 years of a variety of fundraisers, ranging from a cheerleading competition, spaghetti dinners, cut-a-thons, and our most recent, 3.5-Mile Run/Family Fun Walk, the Kelly family has decided to not keep on with an annual event. We believe an annual event is no longer necessary, however, we plan to continue hosting the 3.5-Mile Run/Family Fun Walk every five years to maintain the celebration of Brigid’s amazing life. In addition to her annual scholarship, the foundation also donates to the RI Chapter of Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This donation helps to sustain MADD in its quest to support grieving families

and loved ones in the future, in appreciation for the comfort which they provided for the Kelly family in their loss. The Kelly family extends their gratitude for their community’s loyal support and sponsorship. To learn more about the Brigid E. Kelly Memorial Foundation and past events, visit: www.brigidmemorialfund.com.

Snyder, D.Ac. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are several local organizations and programs that support individuals and their families in such a way that they don’t feel confined by a diagnosis. Rather, they are encouraged to stand tall with others who are confronted with this challenge and embrace life.

Statistics, Risk Factors and Recommendations We don’t expect to get sick, much less get diagnosed with cancer, but it happens. According to the National Institutes of Health, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Men get breast cancer too, but women are 100 times more likely to get it, hence the pink ribbon symbol. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among American women and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Over the last couple of decades breast cancer rates have fallen, due to earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment. The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammograms starting at age 40, and a clinical breast exam every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year over age 40. Some people are predisposed to breast cancer and must follow an early detection plan. People who are at risk of developing breast cancer are women over age 50, women who had an early onset of menstruation (before age 12) or a

Life Span Hospital Breast Health Navigator Program late onset of menopause (after age 55). Women (and men) should perform self-examinations because at least one third of all breast tumors are discovered in a breast exam by a doctor or a self exam.

Local Support: The Women’s Healing Co-Op Linda Phelan, prompted by her own personal struggle with breast cancer, heads a multi-disciplinary organization that encourages healing through open-door support groups, renewal retreats and the arts. The Co-Op nurtures new and long-standing clients and their families to help them find tranquility rather than fear and helplessness. They will host a fundraising event Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at which critically acclaimed Canadian singer Jon Brooks will perform. The Healing Co-Op, 272 Mitchell’s Lane, Middletown, 845-6777

Land Trust Awaits Greenway Permits By Jill Connors The Aquidneck Land Trust (ALT) hopes to receive wetlands permits from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) next month that will enable ALT to complete the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, according to Ted Clement, ALT’s executive director. A scenic path that meanders from Middletown to Portsmouth through woods and wetlands, the Sakonnet Greenway Trail is the longest nature trail on Aquidneck Island, and is the only trail that allows leashed pets and equestrian riding. “We are trying to build the final 4.5 miles this winter, so that it will be open in Summer 2012,” Clement said. The first five miles of the Trail have been open since 2007, and include dirt and boardwalk sections that wind through the Newport National Golf Course off Mitchell’s Lane in Middletown, and cross into Portsmouth near The Glen on Sandy Point Avenue. The final 4.5-mile section is located to the south and west of Mitchell’s Lane and the Newport National Golf Course, and includes some sections of wetlands. ALT recently completed all the necessary land arrangements and sent the permit request to

Seaview, Newport’s fifth largest mansion, was first built in 1907 in Washington, D.C.. In 1923, it began to be disassembled and moved to its current site.

Seaview Terrace Opens Its Doors Newport is a town filled with buildings that have stories to tell. There are few houses that have a more colorful history than Seaview Terrace, known to many as the Carey Mansion. This structure has been a stately home, a barracks for soldiers, a girls’ Ross school, the iconCANN ic backdrop to a television show about vampires, and a college dormitory! The house started its life in Washington D.C. where an enormous structure was built in 1907 for the liquor baron Edson Bradley. In 1923, the Bradleys decided to relocate to Newport and opted to take their home with them. They had it disassembled and brought up by rail and by road, making it one of the largest homes ever to be disassembled and reassembled. At approximately 40,000 square-feet, it is reported to be the fifth largest mansion in Newport (behind the Breakers, Ochre Court, Belcourt Castle and Rough Point). The architect of the house was Howard Greenely, and a house warming party was held in 1925 to celebrate its reopening. There was a pre-existing Elizabethan-Revival style house on the site called Seaview, which was integrated into the reconstruction, and the new house took its name from the old. Furnishings and interiors were

brought from Washington and Europe, and the completed 63-room structure is reported to have cost more than $2 million to build. The house passed into the hands of Bradley’s daughter, Julie Fay Bradley Shipman, the same year her husband, Rt. Rev. Herbert Shipman, the Episcopal bishop of New York, passed away. Just twelve years later, in 1942, the City of Newport took title to the property for back taxes. During World War II, the building served as army officers’ quarters. In 1949 Edward Dunn bought the property for $8,000, less than 1% of what it cost to build just twentyfive years earlier. Title was then transferred to Mrs. George Waldo Emerson Sr., who in turn leased it to Lloyd H. Hatch, who used it as headquarters for The Hatch School during the fall and spring semesters from 1951 to 1961. During the summers, Mrs. Emerson operated Burnham-bythe-Sea, a private all-girls boarding school. It was later rented to The Newport School for Girls during the summertime until the early 1970’s. Much of the mansion’s fame and notoriety comes from the building exterior being used as the fictional Collinwood Mansion for the cult classic TV show on vampires, “Dark Shadows.” The house’s official website reports that “thousands of loyal fans” make pilgrimage to the house annually. In 1974, Martin and Millicent Carey of New York purchased the mansion. Dennis Connor and his Amer-

ica’s Cup syndicate resided in the building during their time in Newport. Following Connor’s defeat to Australia in 1983, the house was leased to Salve Regina University and served as a musical conservatory and student dormitory for until 2009. When the Salve lease was cancelled, the task of maintaining and repairing the building fell to the owners’ daughter, Denise Carey. The house has been in the news recently due to a complaint by the Ochre Point Association that it is being used as a commercial property within a residential district, in violation of Newport ordinances. The house is occasionally open to the public for charitable events, and on Thursday, Oct. 13, the Newport Tree Society will host a benefit cocktail party, “Saplings & Spirits.” Advance reservations may be made by calling 324-9204 for $30. Guests will be able to view the interior of the house to see its magnificent spaces and construction, now mellowed by time and long use. Houses in Newport, especially some of the large Gilded Age structures, have necessarily changed their usage over time, but few have seen as many different or as exotic iterations as Seaview Terrace, which continues to soldier on in a time when 40,000 square feet homes are anything but the norm! Ross Sinclair Cann, AIA, LEED AP, is an historian, educator and practicing architect living and working in Newport.

The Newport & Bristol County Convention & Visitors Bureau announced the winners in the Visitors Center Design Competition. Entrants were judged in three categories: Best Interior Layout, Best Exterior Design, and Best Use of Technology. After the design competition was announced in June, designers and architects in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, and as far away as Egypt and Turkey, submitted entries. According to Robert Douglass, President of Viaduct Advisors and coordinator of the competition, each entry “displayed a creative solution to some aspect of the Visitors Center operations or aesthetic and the Board has gained a wealth of ideas to guide them in their future planning.”

RIDEM. The land in this part of the Sakonnet Greenway Trail is owned by several entities including the Town of Middletown, Newport National Golf Course, Newport Vineyards, and Boulevard Nurseries. “This Greenway Trail has been in the works since 2000, and it has been a labor of love,” said Clement, a lawyer by profession, who said the many conservation easements and land arrangements required for the trail were part of the reason he first came to work for Aquidneck Land Trust. Clement said ALT is still fundraising for the final 4.5-mile section, with approximately $100,000 needed. An upcoming fundraiser is the 4th Annual Race for Open Space 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, Nov. 5, and it takes place on the finished portion of the Trail. Entry fee is $20 with proceeds from the race directed towards further construction and maintenance of the Sakonnet Greenway Trail. (Event information can be found at ALT’s website, ailt.org.) As soon as ALT receives RIDEM wetlands permits, the Land Trust will begin the bidding process for construction of the trail, which will include several boardwalk sections, and hopes to do the construction during the winter and spring.

Apple pie, applesauce, apple crisp, apple Brown Betty, apple butter, and apple cider have one glorious American fruit in common: the apple! It’s that season again, when you smell the aroma of the heavenly combination of apples and cinnamon. Fall surrounds us with lovely colors, including those of apples in an apple orchard. It is worth the trip to go to an orchard and pick your own apples. All of the orchards are very well organized, with signs indicating which apples are ready to pick and which are not. The sight of bright red, shiny apples hanging from trees truly means that fall has arrived. Yellow apples also are beautiful, and many apple varieties combine both colors. It is common for “pick your own” farms to offer glasses of freshly squeezed cider or a hayride, and a few have corn mazes for children and adults to enjoy. Apple picking is a great family activity. The cooler nights have brought just the right amount of crispness and sugar to the country’s favorite fruit. Being part of the harvest is one of the pleasures gleaned from an outing to an orchard, but eating the harvest is the best part. Each of the many varieties of apples that orchards grow is best for a specific use. Here is a simple guide to apples for cooking, sauce, pies and eating fresh. The list of apple varieties for making your perfect apple pie is quite long, so you won’t have any problem finding them. Among the good pie apples are Jonathan, Stayman-Winesap, Cox’s Orange Pippin, and Jonagold. All of these varieties give you a fine balance of sweetness and tartness. Sweeter choices include Braeburn, Fuji, Mutsu, Pink Lady, Suncrisp, Rome Beauty, and Empire. If you like a tart apple pie, select Idared, Macoun, Newton Pippin, or Northern Spy. What is excellent about these apples is that they do not lose their shape when baked in a pie. You still know you are eating apples. If you want to make an apple crisp or an apple Brown Betty, select your choice from the same list of apples. In addition, you can mix and match by using half tart apples with half sweet apples. This combination makes a glorious pie. My personal favorite for piebaking is Jonagold. Not only is it a gigantic apple, it has a matching huge wonderful taste. The best apples for making applesauce are Macintosh, Gravenstein, Yellow Delicious, Cortland, and Jonathan. These apples turn to mush when cooked, and definitely do not hold their shape. Macintosh is the number one favorite apple for making applesauce. It is also one of the top selling apples nationwide. Most of us do not grow or pick

cider apples, because the process takes a rather large press and many apples. However, it is always interesting to learn which apples your cider is made from. True cider apples are a bit obscure, but they have great names. Many of the trees are found in very old orchards. Cider can be made from any apple, but top choices among cider connoisseurs are Foxwhelp, Kingston Black, Yarlington Mill, and Dabinett. The distinguishing factor in these apples is that they have a very high tannin content. Tannin is the astringent taste in an apple that makes your mouth pucker. As in wine making, tannin helps the cider ferment. Cynthia Gibson is a gardener, food writer and painter. She gardens voraciously and tends her miniature orchard in Newport.

8 W. Marlborough, Newport • 401-619-4680 New Hours: Monday - Thursday 4pm - 1am Friday - Sunday 11:30am - 1am Kitchen open till midnight

This recipe is by far the easiest for making applesauce:

Oh So Simple Applesauce Serves 6

Ingredients: 6 Macintosh apples, cored, peeled, and chopped 1 cup plus two tablespoons water 1 quarter cup plus two tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Place all ingredients into a large saucepan and bring them to a boil. Then cover and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Taste the sauce as it is cooking, adding more sugar if needed. That is all it takes to make homemade applesauce. If you have just picked the apples, the taste will never be fresher. The aroma of apples and cinnamon cooking together in the kitchen is part of the magic of fall. Today there is no excuse not to make a fresh apple pie, as you can purchase ready made pie crusts. There is even a packaged mix for apple crisp, which I admit that I am guilty of buying, as it works like a charm. The box contains a premixed packet of cinnamon, sugar, flour, and oatmeal ready to toss with butter and then spread over fresh sliced apples. I add a quarter of a cup of water to the apples before spreading the crumble on top. This makes for a much juicier apple crisp that is truly a yummy dessert or a treat with tea in the afternoon. You can also wrap cored and peeled whole apples in Pepperidge Farm puff paste, and bake them for a tasty delight. Use Gala, Braeburn or Macintosh apples for this very simple recipe. Place the whole apple in the center of a square of puff paste large enough to cover the entire apple. You will need half of a puff paste sheet per apple. Into the hollowed-out center of the apple, place a tablespoon of honey, a dash of cinnamon, four or five walnuts and four to five raisins. Sprinkle the top of the apple with brown sugar. Now, bring up all four corners of the puff paste to cover the entire apple, and seal. Should you prefer less dough, you can use your rolling pin to roll out the puff paste to make it thinner. Bake the wrapped apples on a cookie sheet covered with oilsprayed aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

DINNER & A MOVIE Baseball for Love or Money

October 6, 2011 Newport This Week Page 19

An Oasis For The Passionate Appetite

By Patricia Lacouture Baseball season has not gone well for Red Sox fans, but the colossal slide that the team had in September fits nicely into the timing of “Moneyball,” a film that demystifies the myths, superstitions and romance about the game that can break a fan’s heart. The film is based on the 2003 book by Michael Lewis, “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.” Patricia The book posits LACOUTURE the premise that baseball insiders, players, managers, coaches, and scouts have been using an outdated evaluation system to assemble teams. Although statistics such as number of bases stolen, runs batted in, and batting average are still used today to establish a player’s worth, they reflect the 19th century view of the game rather than present-day reality. What if the process of putting a team together were based on more cerebral, progressive methods? The experiment tried by real-life general manager of the Oakland Athletics Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) has come to be known as “sabermetrics.” (The term derives from SABR, the acronym for the Society for American Baseball Research).In his online article, “An Introduction to Sabermetrics,” math professor Jim Albert explains how this methodology is more useful than the old values placed on both batters and pitchers. Sabermetrics is a mathematical and statistical analysis of magic moments, such as when Robert Redford (in “The Natural”) hits the winning home run, creating literal fireworks by smashing the field lights. Baseball is rife with mythologies as well as superstitions, such as the “curse of the Bambino,” which supposedly dogged the Red Sox from 1918 until 2004. “Moneyball” asserts that the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 by

Brad Pitt plays real-life general manager of the Oakland Athletics Billy Beane in “Moneyball” rated PG-13. using the principle of Sabermetrics. While the theory may be true about the 2004 Sox, that team’s management has since gotten into the very race that “Moneyball” deplores: They started buying highprofile players. The New York Yankees may not have invented the practice of buying teams, but they certainly have spent mega-bucks on targeted “winners.” In “Moneyball,” Brad Pitt’s Billy Beane faces the struggle of winning games with a “small market” team, one that cannot keep up with the Yankees, Red Sox, and other “big market” teams. The film is smart, funny and anything but a romancing of baseball’s legends and mystique. Billy Beane is a once-promising but never successful player who has turned to management of the Athletics. He tries to assemble a winning team, to motivate his players, and to keep up a relationship with his young daughter. He seeks balance and craves glory, but he isn’t sure, for most of the film, how he can do this balancing act. The most telling scenes involve no dialogue and no real action. Beane is driving, and, as darkness fills his car, we see him only by “rim” (sometimes called “edge”) lighting. The technique outlines his profile in light. We cannot see his eyes, nor is there any voiceover narration to help us figure

out where he is going or what he’s pondering, but we know that he is battling uncertainty. After a meeting with Red Sox owner John Henry, Beane has the opportunity to earn a phenomenal $12.5 million, and he quietly toys with the idea. When he has made his decision — to stay with the small market team and be near his daughter — he’s once again driving, but now we can see his face in full profile. He is a man comfortable with his place in life. He has turned down the temptation to be bought and has chosen to run his team by new statistics and old-fashioned intuition. The “small team” guy doesn’t say, “Show me the money.” He will work for the love of the game, and this, finally, brings back a glimmer of baseball as something magical — something that can’t be bought with big money. “Moneyball” acknowledges that the game we fans love so dearly has become a business. Players and general managers can be traded – bought and sold like prime cuts of meat. It’s an eye-opener, but I’m not giving up on baseball. Yet.

In a show of support for Rhode Island’s tiniest citizens, more than 260 guests turned out for the 10th annual March of Dimes Signature Chefs event held recently at Belle Mer on Goat Island. The event -which featured the culinary talents of 24 of the state’s leading chefs, and restaurant, theater, accommodation and vacation packages auctioned off by celebrity auctioneer and entertainer Sir Jeremy Bill of Edinburgh, Scotland -- raised $95,000 to help support the March of Dimes mission. The event also paid tribute to Chef Sai Viswanath of DeWolf Tavern in Bristol. He was presented with the March of Dimes 2011 Signature Chef Award. Commenting about the event, Rhode Island March of Dimes Director Betsy Akin said, “We are thrilled about the outcome of this wonderful event and the participation of Chef Sai and all the other topnotch chefs who came to Belle Mer from all parts of the state and on their own time to prepare samplings of their signature dishes for guests. These unforgettable dishes combined with the fantastic packages Sir Jeremy Bill auctioned off to guests made for a hugely successful night. We are grateful to those involved in the event’s success; especially to the many individuals and companies that turned out to support the Signature Chefs event.”

Islanders: Girls’ V-Ball Loses RhodySquash Swings into Newport The Middletown High School girls’ volleyball team lost a tough, home match against Our Lady of Fatima High School in straight games on Tuesday, Oct. 4, by scores of 11-25, 23-25 and 24-26. It was Fatima’s first win of the year. The Islanders remain winless.

Middletown junior Abby Duffy serves to the Our Lady of Fatima High School side. Duffy accounted for a team-high five service aces in the match.

Islander junior Samantha Cornman prepares a return hit against the Tigers. Cornman scored one kill and one block in her team’s three games to none loss to Our Lady of Fatima High School.

By Meg O’Neil Venture a guess at what has been voted the healthiest sport to play by Forbes magazine, and odds are that you’re probably wrong. According to Forbes, that title belongs to squash, with Forbes saying that it’s the best sport in the world for getting and staying fit, and for Thompson Middle School students, a partnership with a local mentoring program called RhodySquash is set to open doors for student’s futures in the sport. The founder of RhodySquash is Executive Director Ross FreimanMendel, an 18 year old Newporter who recently graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall boarding school in Connecticut, and decided to take a gap year in between graduation, before he heads to Brown University next year to get the program up and running. According to him, RhodySquash is part of the National Urban Squash Education Association, a movement that brings the sport to inner-city areas, and invites area students to dedicate themselves to a vigorous afterschool program that incorporates squash instruction, academic tutoring, mentoring, as well as community service and cultural outings for free. The free program exists thanks to funding from the de Ramel Foundation, and private donations through the organization’s website at www.RhodySquash.org. Freiman-Mendel held afterschool tryouts for the program at TMS on Wednesday, Oct. 5, where close to 50 students attended, all hoping to earn one of 12 open spots on the team. Due to the overwhelming response of interested students, a second tryout was slated for a date in the near future. A sport that is mainly limited to boarding schools and Ivy League universities, squash is growing in popularity across the country, and the goal of RhodySquash, the only program of its type in the state, is to get TMS students scholarships to reach that level of education and

success. “Squash is one of the most heavily recruited sports for high school and college, because not a lot of kids play it,” explained Freiman-Mendel. “So our job is to show kids that if they work hard, they can get good at it, and show them that a lot of schools offer scholarships for people who demonstrate need.” The afterschool program is held at the Newport Squash Club, located at 8 Freebody St., and contains two full-sized squash courts and a classroom for students, where they will receive both homework help and standardized test tutoring. “RhodySquash instills the values of hard work, and teaches all the

necessary adjectives that one associates with success: hardwork, discipline, and sportsmanship,” says Freiman-Mendel, who along with TMS Principal Jaime Crowley, have worked together to spread the word about the sport in the school, hoping to attract kids to the possibility of participating in the course. It was the idea of being able to continue education that intrigued Crowley the most, prompting him to jump on board with the program. “What I’m most intrigued by is the opening of doors this program can offer,” said Crowley, who admits his knowledge of the sport is minimal. “I played squash once in my life and I grew up here and I think most peo-

Mild Weather Stalls Fish Migrations By Tim Flaherty

Statewide Open House

H E A T I N G

REEL REPORT

C O O L I N G

Wet weather and unsettled conditions continued well into this week, putting a damper on fishing for many. Reef fishing was nearly impossible earlier in the week due to the six to seven foot ocean swell from tropical storm Ophelia passing us offshore. Those who ventured out to deeper waters, to fish the wrecks and rock piles, as we had, did well, catching as many as five different species on those trips black sea bass, blackfish, scup, bluefish and a few stripers. And, the mild weather we experienced in September has kept our local water temperatures higher than normal. This has slowed fish migrations down the bay. Bay temps are still in the mid-60 degree range and at the mouth of the bay the temperature is holding at 63 degrees. Until cooler temperatures arrive, the inshore fishing bite will not improve. Last weekend, The Newport Shootout, a local striped bass tournament, to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation produced fish in the forties. Pat Sweeney took first place with a 46-pound bass; second place went to Dave Huberman with his 44-pounder; and third place was awarded to Komes Rozes who took a striper in the high 30s. Congratulations to these lads and thank to all participants for supporting such a worthy cause. According to Sam Toland, of Sam’s Bait and Tackle, some of these big, tournament bass were taken at Southwest Ledge off Block Island. Reports continue to verify great bass bites at The Block. Anglers using pogy chunks, and night anglers using live eels, had a great week, there, despite the heavy seas. Rocky Botelho hit some big stripers in the high 20s and low 30s early last week at the same spot. The Cliff Walk, including the Rough Point area and along Miramar’s shoreline, continued to be a hot spot with shore anglers who took stripers in the mid-20s, all last week. Anglers who fished this treacherous stretch braved dangerous waves during their allnight vigils to get the “big one.” Reports continue to confirm a good bite in that area. Blackfish or tautog fishing has improved but the warm water is holding the fish in the bay. Reports from divers have suggested that the schools are forming, but have not yet descended to the lower bay. Small pods of blackfish have been taken at the T-pier at Prudence Island, as well as off Gould Island. The NUSC breakwater has also produced some “white chins” over the weekend and so has Castle Hill and the rocky west shore

A bachelor party, aboard the FishFinder, braved heavy seas last Thursday, September 29, but were well-rewarded with their catch of jumbo bluefish. Top:Tom Stoughton, Mark Dolislager and Dan Cipriani. Bottom: Tom Pfister, the groom, Chase Fehrenbacher and the best man, Lee Fehrenbacher. of Fort Adams. These “blacks” have been taken at depths of 25 to 45 feet. Crabs remain the preferred bait for this species. Perhaps, the very best type of crab is the Fiddler crab. The Japanese Box crab is also a very good bait for tautog. This invasive species first appeared locally in the mid-80s and has inundated our shorelines and caused damage to Narragansett Bay’s mussel and oyster beds. Box crabs grow quickly, yet, by adulthood, are only an inch in width and have a distinctive, square carapace (shell). Reports suggest they may have originally arrived here by hitching rides in the bilges of ocean going vessels from Asia that frequently unloaded cargo at Quonset Point. There are 41 different species of box crab in the world and, hopefully, one of our readers would help us identify exactly which one resides in our bay. 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.

Newporter Don Podesla (above), took this 12lb., 6oz. blackfish on Monday, September 26. His “white-chinner” was caught after dark at an unspecified location just north of the Pell Bridge.

More Rare Birds Spotted on Island

CCRI Adult Skills Training

By Jack Kelly Aquidneck Island has been a hotbed of avian activity for the past few weeks. One area of considerable liveliness is Easton’s Beach in Newport. Beginning with the surprise appearance of five American Avocets two weeks ago, this beautiful expanse of sandy beach has hosted thousands of miJack gratory shorebirds KELLY in that time. The number of passing hurricanes and tropical storms near and off our coast, and the strong waves and turbulence they produced, have churned up a great deal of food for our guests. A rare and unexpected visitor was recently sighted at Easton’s Beach. This visitor is called a Little Gull. This variety of gull is a Eurasian species that occasionally nests in Canada. During the nonbreeding season, single members of this sort may be seen along the Atlantic Coast from southern New England to Virginia. The Little Gull has a body length of about one foot and a wingspan of approximately two feet. The individual gull observed at Easton’s Beach was a first year juvenile. The last recorded sighting of a Little Gull on Aquidneck Island occurred in 2008, in the Third Beach area. Another visitor to the beach was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. Once a rare migrant to North America, this gull species is now a more familiar visitor to the Atlantic

Little Gull takes off from Easton’s Beach. (Photos by Jack Kelly) Coast in the non-breeding season. Usually seen singly, this variety has a body length of about 21 inches and a wingspan of approximately four and one-half feet. During nonbreeding season its upper parts become very dark over a white lower body, and it has vivid yellow legs and feet. A number of Caspian Terns, the largest tern in the world, have been spotted resting on the beach amongst the large gull population. Caspian Terns nest in colonies in the western United States and widespread areas of Canada. They usually migrate in family groups at night and winter on the Gulf Coast or farther south. They feed and rest during the day. The adult plumage is pale gray and white, with a deep black cap on their head. The Caspian Tern has a heavy, deep red bill that is dusky near the tip. They have a body length of about 21 inches and a wingspan just over four feet. Along the beach, hundreds of

shorebirds representing nine different species are feeding daily. This is only a sampling of the momentus RING_2colx6-b.indd 1 production nature is presenting. As fall migration season reaches its crescendo in the next few weeks, the marshes, beaches, coastlines, fields and woods of our region will be alive with countless species.

SQUASH CONTINUED FROM PG. 21 ple have never played – talk about giving students something new to try!” To introduce the concept of RhodySquash to TMS students, Crowley spent a several schooldays going around to classrooms and lunch tables explaining the ins and outs of the program, and how it could lead to scholarship opportunities. “Some students didn’t know what scholarships were, so I had to explain that it basically means money, and that a school will pay for your education if you attend.” He went on to tell students that a program like RhodySquash could give them a leg-up on the competition, saying, “we’re very lucky in this town that we have squash courts available, when most towns in the country do not.” Crowley went on to tell interested students, “If we can get you going early and you can learn this sport

and do well academically, then you might be a hot commodity once you get to the high school level.” Because no public schools in the area offer squash as an athletic program, Friedman-Mendel pointed out that almost all students coming in to RhodySquash have no prior experience with the sport, and that is OK. “None of our kids know what squash is at first, and you don’t have to be an amazing player from the start, nor do they have to become the next great squash recruit,” he says. “But we want to show them that being commitmed to the program and to academics, and being serious on the court, will bring benefits to them in the end.”
