Middletown’s Fallen Hero Honored in Naval Station Ceremony In a solemn ceremony held Saturday, Nov. 5, the newest facility onboard Naval Station Newport was dedicated to a Middletown, R.I. native who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Sgt. Michael F. Paranzino, a U.S. Army Cavalry scout, was killed in action Nov 5, 2010 in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.

One year after his death, Paranzino’s family and friends joined his military family as the newest Army Reserve Center was opened and dedicated in his memory. Three U.S. Cavalry scouts who served with Paranzino in Afghanistan traveled from Ft. Drum, N.Y. to stand with the family. Senator Jack Reed, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. David Cicilline joined the hundreds gathered to pay tribute to Sgt. Paranzino.

Maj. Gen. William D.R. Waff, Commanding General, 99th Regional Support Command, asked those who will serve at the facility to remember Paranzino, “To the Officer and Soldier… whenever you enter this center, take time to reflect on Sgt. Mike Paranzino and the example he set for all of us.”

The Paranzino Army Reserve Center is the only building on Naval Station Newport dedicated to a soldier, and will be home to over 700 members of the Army Reserve’s 443rd Civil Affairs Battalion, 2nd Battle Command Training Group, 1st Brigade (Military Intelligence) and Detachment 1, 2nd Battalion, 417th Regiment.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport broke ground for a new $20.7 million Electromagnetic Sensor Facility on Monday, Oct.31.

R.I. Governor Lincoln Chafee, Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, and Congressman David Cicilline participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.

“This project will result in a significant upgrade to our capabilities,” said Capt. Todd Cramer, Commander of NUWC Newport. “Thanks to the addition of this facility, NUWC will be well-equipped to keep our submarines at the forefront of emerging electromagnetic sensor technologies well into the future.”

The 54,000 square foot facility will include six laboratories and a fivestory periscope tower designed to repair and certify periscopes, submarine communications systems, electronic warfare equipment, and imaging/optical systems. The new building will provide space for both personnel and equipment for prototyping, acquisition and production support, as well as in-service engineering and test functions. It is expected to be completed by September 2013.

“This is important for the Navy,” said Reed. “With the maritime threats that we face, the ability of submarines to operate without detection close to shore makes them much more valuable than they were at any time in our history.”

CITY MANAGER CONTINUED FROM PG. If she accepts the offer, Howington will be Newport’s 12th City Manger and the first woman to hold the position. She is expected to begin her tenure on Jan. 9, 2012.

Though she’ll be coming from a landlocked portion of the country known more for its cattle than catamarans, Newport will be a sort of homecoming for Howington, who grew up in the Northeast and previously held positions in Massachusetts.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be offered an opportunity to serve the Newport community,” Howington said in a statement.

A city of just under 20,000 residents, Kalispell serves the county seat of Flathead County, Montana, and is regarded as the gateway to Glacier National Park, drawing a heavy tourist population during the season. And like Newport, the city operates under a council-city Manager form of government, with a titular mayor serving as chair of an eight-member city council.

Howington has served as the city’s manager since 2009.

Prior to that, she was assistant city manager of operations for Dayton, Ohio, a city of 170,000, where she was responsible for public safety, public works and utilities and also served as the human resources director for an organization with over 2,400 employees.

In addition, she worked as the city manager of Oxford, Ohio for seven years, town administrator for Lunenburg, Mass., planning director for Acton, Mass., and chief planner for Methuen, Mass.

Howington was hired following an exhaustive search that began shortly after Lavallee announced his retirement. In September, councilors appointed a seven-member screening committee to sort through the 119 applications that

had been received from across the country. Following their review, that committee provided the council with a list of qualified candidates in early October. The council interviewed six of those candidates, and following a second round of interviews, made the decision in late October to offer the position to Howington.

Howington holds a bachelor’s degree in Arts and Environmental Studies from Ramapo College of New Jersey, a master’s degree in public administration from Miami University of Ohio, and a master’s in urban and regional planning from Texas A&M University.

She is married to her husband, John, with whom she has one son, Josh. The Howingtons plan to live in Newport. Her late father, Kenneth Mahony, served as city manager in communities in New Jersey, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

City Council members are expected to formally vote on her contract at their Dec. 14 meeting.

PELL CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 school. The meeting was sponsored

by Positively Newport Schools (PNS), and featured a panel led by local architect Jim Asbel and moderated by WADK’s Dave Rogers.

In attendance were Kelley and Committee Vice Chair Rebecca Bolan, along with 25 community members.

The focus of that meeting was to introduce the possibility of using pre-engineered metal buildings in the construction process, a move that Kelley said had been considered by HMFH, but was not in the final design plan.

Asbel pointed out that while the pre-engineered span-like buildings have the stereotype of being cold and industrial in appearance, they are actually “style neutral,” with the ability to be changed to fit and styled to whatever appearance is desired.

Also discussed was the feasibility of incorporating lightweight paneling called Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS), a process that reduces labor and construction time, and provides better insulation and quality control.

Taking the PNS presentation into consideration, the Pell Building Committee next met on Tuesday, Nov. 8, a meeting that was immediately followed by the regular monthly meeting of the School Committee.

To begin, the building committee re-examined the list of 43 costsaving line items, which HMFH had categorized as “Likely,” “Potential,” and “Unlikely” cuts.

If all cuts from the Level 1 Likely category were approved, it would amount to a total savings of $2.7 million.

Kelley started off the meeting saying, “The community really doesn’t want to give up on the aesthetics, educational program-

ming, and sustainability efforts … we really need to look closely at the items that don’t impact those things.”

He also explained that there is the possibility of extra monies being available through an improvement fund that could increase the construction budget from $24 million to $25.5 million.

HMFH Architects’ Laura Wernick and Matt LaRue were on hand to present a slideshow of what the potential large-item cost savings would do to the appearance of the Pell School.

First came the alternative of simplifying the roof lines of the school, with one option creating a flat roofline throughout - what Wernick described as a “simple box.”

The second version called for a pitched roof over portions of the upper and lower school, which, “breaks up the massing of the building and keeps it very Newport-like,” according to Wernick. These items were moved for further debate at another date.

The most discussion went towards the structural change of a second-story bridge to safely get children on the upper floor of the Lower School outside without having to use stairs in case of an emergency.

Several options were presented.

The first would eliminate the convenience stair at the end of the hallway, leaving only the bridge as a means of emergency exit; resulting in $87,000 in cost savings.

The change would still be in compliance with Newport fire code, according to Fire Marshal Wayne Clark.

The other option would be to eliminate the bridge altogether, but add a second staircase for students, resulting in $4,000 savings, or what Wernick and LaRue called,

“a wash.”

However, relying more heavily on staircases would also raise questions in regard to the school’s handicap accessibility, especially considering that students could not use the school elevators in case of an emergency.

With no clear resolution, the topic was also moved to further discussion with no final decision on the bridge.

Another point of contention was the simplification of a stage in the school’s cafeteria for $50,000 in savings, making it a bare 18-inch platform with no curtain for staging, Superintendent John Ambrogi did not hold back in his dislike of the alternative, saying, “The stage is the heart and soul of a school this big … I really feel strongly about this … this is a critical aspect of the school.” The stage was in the Level 3 Unlikely column of cuts.

With that, the Building Committee unanimously accepted the Level 1 Likely simplifications preliminarily pending further cost-saving estimates, a move that committee member Jo Eva Gaines stressed was not a final vote on any decision.

After a brief meeting in executive session, the committee segued into its regular monthly meeting.

Breezing through a light docket, the committee decided to move a discussion on the district’s ability to change its post-employment retirement health-care benefit for Medicare- eligible retirees to Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan 65 to the Dec. 13 committee meeting.

Briefing those in attendance on what occurred in the Pell Building Committee meeting, Gaines said, “Things are not as dire as they appear. There is a plan going forward, and we will have a new school.”

Kelley added quickly, “And it will be tremendous.”

NEWS BRIEFS Youth Rugby League Begins

Sweets for Troops Students from Underwood Elementary School showed true generosity this Halloween by donating some (or in several cases all) of their trick-ortreating candy to troops overseas. The project started in Mr. Sherman’s first grade class and quickly spread to every classroom in the school. In total, students collected over 272 pounds of candy to ship in care packages. Not only did students give back, but they also made a healthy choice by not eating all of their own candy. Mrs. Minuto and Mr. Sherman’s first grade classes each collected 36 pounds of candy; or almost a pound and a half per child.

For What It’s Worth This week I am going to turn the table and ask our readers to help identify the subject in a photograph that we have in our collection. The picture is about 8” x 10” and the sitter is dressed in a painters or artist smock and he is holding a scroll or parchment. He is wearing a wedding ring on his left hand and appears to be about 40 years old.

We would date this photo around 1900. This photo came to us about 25 years ago from a large collection of ephemera that we purchased from the Birckhead, Maude Howe Elliott, Julia Ward Howe estate. We would love to know the sitter. Can you help identify him?

— Federico — Federico Santi, Partner, The Drawing Room Antiques (Free verbal appraisals are offered on Thursdays, from noon to 5 p.m., no appointment necessary.)

Do you have a treasured item and want to know “what it’s worth?”

IYRS “Green” Lecture Series

Community Meeting on Homelessness

The International Yacht restoration School (IYRS) Restoration Hall is the site for maritime green education efforts as the school and the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA) present a series of evening lectures on “Environmental Issues Facing Sailors and the Marine World.”

Leading experts on the frontlines of ocean environmental protection efforts speak on the actions their organizations have taken to help keep the waters clean—from creating approaches to running regattas in an eco-friendly way, to removing marine debris.

“Those who attend these lectures will come away with a valuable education,” said Jay Picotte, curator of the Museum of Yachting and an organizer of the series. “They will gain an understanding of the good work being done, and how each and every one of us can help.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 15 Rachael Miller will speak on The Rozalia Project, a unique effort focused on cleaning the oceans and picking up plastics and non-biodegradable marine debris—one piece at a time. As executive director of the project, Miller will talk about the problem of marine debris and what sailors can do about the problem. She also brings the story of the organization’s mothership, the 60-foot sailing research vessel American Promise, and the work done onboard collecting debris using a VideoRay remotely operated vehicle.

On Tuesday, Nov. 29 Daniela T. H. Abbott, P.E., naval architect and marine engineer at Sparkman & Stephens, will present a talk “Green Yachting: Eco-Consciousness in Today’s Marine Industry.”

All lectures begin at 7:30 pm at IYRS Restoration Hall (449 Thames Street, Newport). Lectures are free for members of IYRS and the Museum of Yachting, $7 for non-members. For more information about the IYRS lectures, visit www.iyrs.org or call 401-848-5777, ext. 222.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL Thanks, But No Thanks While distinctly local issues such as the proposed redesign of Queen Anne Square and the progress at the Armory visiting boater facility have been drawing a good deal of attention around town, the dominating topic of conversation off-island is easily that of the state’s attempt to solve its pension crisis.

In Providence, General Assembly members have begun a nearly unprecedented process, convening, at-times, heated hearings on a proposal put forth by Gen. Treasurer Gina Raimondo and Gov. Lincoln Chafee to approve sweeping reforms to the state’s pension system.

Also included in the proposal is a mechanism that would enable cities and towns to better manage their own locally-administered pensions. These plans, which for the most part have been badly mismanaged, are ultimately the responsibility of municipal governments. Whether a state solution for locally-administered plans is even allowable by law is another question altogether.

And while we understand the eagerness of some city and town leaders to pursue a sort of universal panacea, it is also important not to put at risk the state’s effort to manage its own house. That, in its simplest form, is what each community must do when dealing with locally administered plans.

Since 2003, Newport has been doing its part to shore up its police and fire plans, meeting, in full, its annual required contribution. For this, the city deserves credit.

The Chafee administration is seeking a method by which municipalities will be able to freeze, or even cut, the annual cost of living increases built into locally-negotiated contracts. We’re not sure it is the state’s position to be wading into the highly sensitive issues that surround the local collective bargaining process.

And while the state’s efforts to pass comprehensive pension reform are laudable and long overdue, it’s hard not to look at the state’s foray into locally administered plans as akin to kicking over a hornet’s nest which our part-time elected officials will be left to contend with.

Food Donations Needed To the Editor; We all read last week in the NDN of the increasing demand on the local food banks. Clearly, the recession is still very much in play and more people are signing up for these services.

But in good news, former Mayor Sardella has donated 100 turkeys to the MLK Center. Now we all have an opportunity to match that donation with the trimmings so the families will have a complete Thanksgiving dinner. Breads, stuffing, vegetables, desserts, and so on. Further, the Center is asking that soups, PB&J, cereals, and other food for daily meals be included in

the Turkey baskets so that the families have a full weekend of food.

We need to Match the Mayor. My wife, Milly Jessen, and I are donating 200 pounds of potatoes. Please consider what you can do to Match the Mayor. Further, please consider an appeal to your religious congregation, clubs, and companies.

But HURRY! Donations must be in the MLK Center by November 15.

You can make your donation Monday through Friday between 10am and 2 p.m. at the Center on Marcus Wheatland Blvd.

Spruce It Up, Don’t Dig It Up To the Editor; Alarmed at the flood of letters opposing their proposed plan to redesign QAS, NRF has submitted a revised plan. Letters have been running at about 9 to 1 against the plan and in an October 29 Newport Daily News poll, 86% voted against NRF’s disrespectful plans!

NRF has revised and ‘withered down’ their original plan, hoping that it will confuse the issue. They have shifted to the ‘hurry up and let’s push this thing through’ mode, scheming to avoid the obligatory public meeting. But they are still not getting a simple message— Don’t mess with Ms. Duke’s original concept for her park!

On the front page, full color spread, of the October 27 issue of The Newport Daily News, Mr. Roos reports that “ NRF plans to present their revised plan to the Council, perhaps within a week…but work on the ‘park’ would not begin until the spring, with completion targeted for July” He continues, “A contractor has already been selected.”

NRF, in their sycophantic ardor for Lin, still assumes that this a done deal !

Cartoon Went Too Far To the Editor; The political cartoon depicting the city councilors as dwarfs published in last week’s edition of Newport This Week did nothing to advance the discussion on the Queen Anne Square proposal. That the opponents of the renovation of the Park would stoop to personally attacking those individuals who serve the city on a largely volunteer basis and who are sworn to use their best judgment for the benefit of the entire community and not just those who rant, rave and sling unfounded accusations reflects very poorly on the opponents and does no credit to a newspaper that, in general, works hard to provide a unbiased and civil discourse on important subjects.

I would propose a policy where letters and cartoons should be printed only if: – they are not mere copies of material already printed elsewhere – are not defamatory or unfounded in their attacks, belittling by name, gender or race – clearly state the writer’s name and make fair and full disclosure of the writer’s material and personal interests in the matter To do less than that is to open the newspaper up to mudslinging and personal attack that will only further erode the power and prestige of the printed word and image.

Ross Cann, AIA, LEED AP Newport

Whoa! What’s the hurry? NRF, (that’s them, the 1%) has been working on their half-baked plan, behind closed doors, for two years, but unveiled it to the public, (that’s us, the 99%) only four (4) months ago.

Mr. Roos continues, in the same article, “Unfortunately, the park design that Ms. Duke initially created, has degraded substantially since its original conception.” What’s really unfortunate, other than the poor syntax, is the fractured thinking. It’s not Ms. Duke’s ‘park design’ and ‘original conception’ that has degraded. It’s only the park’s condition that has degraded. The ‘park design’ is still the same wonderful Olmsted-like vision…“It’s the maintenance, stupid!”

Her park was completed thirty five years ago and has received minimal maintenance since. As a result , the park has become a bit shabby; trees and shrubbery are overgrown, weeds and trash abound, paths and lawns are in poor shape, the lighting is inadequate, etc. etc.

But let’s spruce it up, not dig it up. A little TLC is all that’s required.

Trim and replace trees, remove the overgrown bushes, redo lawns and paths, install comfortable benches and proper lighting, plant around the boulders, etc.

We owe it to the memory of the wonderful and under-appreciated Doris Duke, to enhance the park, in the spirit of her design, and…NOT…redo it with someone else’s strange and meaningless idea. We, overwhelmingly, prefer the park, essentially the way it is…with Ms. Duke’s real boulders and trees to Lin’s fake stones and Von Gaul’s incipient saplings.

Ed Paul Newport P.S. One way out of this embarrassing PR dilemma, for NRF, would be to return to their mission of restoration, rather than pursue the current ill advised QAS digression.

Transfer the $3.6 million ‘slush fund’ to a real restorative effort, like Fort Adams or Washington Square. This would be a real ‘feather’, in NRF’s remarkably successful cap and build on our deep and enduring respect for them.

Say No to Fake ‘History’ To the Editor; We are hearing a lot of discussion about Maya Lin’s design for Queen Anne Square. I think enhancing the park without tapping into our taxes is a wonderful gift to our city. It is hard to gather anywhere now without the subject of the design bubbling up and usually erupting in anger. The initial outcry was clearly more negative so a new rendition is now on the table. The latest drawing has scaled down the three empty foundation holes to a smaller size, but unfortunately they are still very much on the blueprint.

Allow me to give you a slightly different take on it.

Flash forward to the future: A couple of eager tourists stop at Queen Anne Square. They look down into one of the newly constructed building foundations.

“What was this building? George Washington must have lived here or something,” says the first visitor.

“No,” adds the second, “Washington was a tall man, and this was a small house or shed. Maybe some munitions were hidden here that helped win a war? Think of the

Ground Zero Memorial. Something important must have been housed here. Something that changed the course of history.”

A local Newporter overhears the conversation and states, “Nope, it wasn’t really anything, but there was a laundry somewhere over there.”

Blank stares envelop all three people.

What we are not taking into consideration is that on 9/11/11 a glorious memorial to the Twin Tower victims appeared all over our TVs in high def. It is magnificent. The theme of the tribute is the footprints of two missing buildings.

These buildings existed. The New York monument took ten years to come to fruition and it was worth the wait. It is every bit as moving as Maya Lin’s exquisite Vietnam Memorial. In copying the premise of Ground Zero’s tribute we are not only disrespecting it, but also making fools of ourselves. The new buzzword for the shrunken foundations is calling them “kitty litter boxes”. I rest my case.

MORE LETTERS Park Plan Deserves Our Gratitude To the Editor; I am writing to enthusiastically endorse the revised drawing and plan for Queen Anne Square. What an extraordinary and significant public space it can become when completed. Because there is very little ‘open space’ in Newport, one really has to search out the ‘byways and highways’ so to speak, to find useable, adequate and comfortable open space and seating. In this regard, QAS will add to the work already in progress by the Harbor Walk endeavors and add to the desire of Newport residents wanting more open public space.

Newport now has a remarkable opportunity to enhance QAS. The moment should be seized.

Currently, at QAS there are no benches to sit; to people watch; to enjoy a cup of coffee; to read a book; to just pass the time, or to talk with friends. From what I have observed for many years, the current QAS acts, in part, as a ‘walkway’ from Spring Street to Thames Street; and where sordid activities take place in the evening. Occasionally one might see a few people sitting on the grass. To be fair, it is a place where young people enjoy

playing hacky- sac and hanging out; where people walk their dogs, and where young mothers and fathers stay awhile with their newborns and young children. Many people attend the popular “pumpkin patch” event sponsored by Trinity Church.

It is nonetheless accurate to say that most people just walk by the square. QAS is now a configuration of brick paths, untrimmed grass, and some overgrown bushes and trees. Its obvious potential is conveyed well in the revised plan for QAS; if implemented the plan can make the ‘Square’ a place of distinction, pride and a well- deserved addition to our waterfront.

Growing up in New Jersey, and often having visited the Duke Farms, gardens, and estate in Hillsborough, I don’t believe what QAS has morphed into is what Doris Duke had in mind for the space and her distinguished legacy. Imagine how enlivening and inspiring QAS can become: a place for the community, visitors and individuals to gather in an aesthetically pleasing environment, connected to our city’s cherished past. Maya Lin’s design respects the history of Newport and reinforces it. Conceived, in

part as public art, it will become a living piece of history.

Imagine the beauty and sound of the fountain. Imagine feeling the flow of water, a sign of life, vicariously connecting us to the two great bodies of water that surround Aquidneck Island. Imagine jesters, story tellers, musicians, and the like during the height of the summer. Imagine QAS on a warm breezy spring day, on a crisp windy autumn afternoon, and snow covered during Christmas in Newport.

Imagine one unified space drawing us to the spire of Trinity Church.

Imagine more…an alluring valuable gem for the “City by the Sea…” a laudable addition our city pride and to our overall quality of life.

It is in my opinion that such a long-awaited and generous gift to the city ought to be valued and accepted by the city and citizens of Newport. I call on the mayor and council to wholeheartedly endorse, without any reservation, the revised plan for Queen Anne Square, as presented by the NRF.

NTW - November 9, 2011

Philip M. Fiadino Bellevue Ave. Newport

Destroying Park Dishonors Duke To the Editor; Trying to follow the Newport Restoration Foundation’s arguments in favor of Maya Lin’s redesign of Queen Anne Square is like diving down Alice in Wonderland’s Rabbit Hole. One finds oneself in a strange world where Newport will “honor” Doris Duke, who is arguably Newport’s major benefactor, by destroying the village green she created and replacing it with Maya Lin’s art installation. If Ms. Lin’s installation is approved by the Newport City Council, trees Ms. Duke planted will be killed; the boulders, whose installation she supervised, will be taken away; the garden, whose still-blooming roses survived the Nor’ Easter on Halloween weekend, will be destroyed; almost two thousand square feet of grass will be bulldozed into oblivion; and, as in a horror movie featuring the undead, the buildings Doris Duke removed in order to create her greensward will return in the form of “ghost” foundations.

Let’s improve Queen Anne Square by installing benches with

backs, pruning trees and bushes for better sight lines, tidying up the sidewalks and fixing the gas lamps that are already in place in the square. These improvements could be done at minimal expense.

In fact, if the benches were part of Newport’s memorial bench program their purchase and installation should cost the City next to nothing.

By contrast, spending the better part of 3.5 million dollars to destroy Queen Anne Square in order to install fake building foundations that come complete with sanitation and safety issues seems not only absurd but in these tough financial times – when kids all over Rhode Island are going to bed hungry – unseemly. It is pointed out repeatedly that if Maya Lin’s daft plan is turned down, the donors of this “gift” will take their money elsewhere. If that’s the truth, then I say “good,” because the money could be more wisely spent.

The donors whose names have been mentioned in connection with funding Maya Lin’s design are

generous, civic-minded people.

Perhaps on reflection, they will see that Maya Lin’s design is not right for Queen Anne Square; that Ms. Lin’s art installation is not only disrespectful to Doris Duke but also harmful to Ms. Lin’s own reputation as an environmentalist. After all, would a true environmentalist go into a little park and kill old-growth trees, dig up swaths of grass, and destroy a garden in order to make a piece of art?

If you oppose Maya Lin’s plan for Queen Anne Square, please contact Mayor Waluk (swaluk@cityofnewport.org) and the other city council members, whose phone numbers and e-mail address can all be found online at www.cityofnewport.com.

Also, please consider attending the Council Meeting when they take the vote, which may be as early as Dec. 14. One can call the City Clerk’s office (845-5341) the week before to see if Queen Anne Square is on the docket.

Duplicity, Treason and Murder

U.S.S. Liberty June 8, 1967 34 Sailors Murdered 171 Wounded

www.ussliberty.org

Ensign Cessarina Heg, an administrative officer assigned to the USS Bulkeley, paints trim inside the Boys and Girls Club activity center during a recent port visit. Heg graduated from Rogers High School in 2004 and went on to the Naval Academy Prep School and the U.S. Naval Academy. (U.S. Navy photo by Bob Krekorian)

USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) was at Naval Station Newport for training last week as part of the Surface Warfare Officers School Visiting Ship Program. Her crew had a full schedule but still managed to get some well deserved liberty.

Some of the sailors did more than just enjoy Newport; they became a part of the community for a little while. During the visit, many young men and women from the guided missile destroyer volunteered of at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center and at the Boys and Girls Club Annex at Oxbow Farms Townhouses.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Center got some pre-holiday help from the crew sorting donations of non-perishable food. The sailors divided canned goods and groceries for the Thanksgiving family food baskets for over 100 families.

They also painted an after-school program room at the center.

Many good-natured volunteers scraped, taped and rolled paint on the walls of the Boys and Girls Club Annex at Oxbow Farms Townhouses, giving the facility a much-needed facelift. Laughing and joking while they worked, the crew obviously embraced the “many hands make light work” philosophy.

One of the volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club has strong ties

to Newport. Ensign Cessarina G. Heg is a 2004 graduate of Rogers High School. Heg attended the Naval Academy Prep School and the U.S. Naval Academy and is on her first tour. She serves as an administrative and legal officer on the ship and was thrilled to be back home for a few days.

Heg’s parents, Tim and Vicky Garrold, are both retired military officers, and her father is on the faculty at the Naval War College.

He was the Commander of the Military Entrance Processing Station in Brooklyn, NY during the 9/11 attacks, and Heg said that the tragic event inspired her military service: “I want to give back.” “Being in the Navy and even volunteering like this are ways I can do that.”

She spent January through July of this year on Bulkeley off the coast of Somalia participating in maritime security operations. The international effort was in support of global antipiracy efforts and included ships from Germany, France, Japan and Pakistan.

Heg said she hopes to make a difference in the world and that by participating in ship/community relations volunteer events, she gets to do so on a more personal level.

“I like to be part of something bigger than myself,” she smiled, “We all do. That’s why we are here.”

Officer Training Command will hold two graduations on Friday, Nov. 18 in Kay Hall.

Forty-seven graduates of Officer Candidate School will be commissioned in a 9 a.m. ceremony to join the ranks of the world’s finest Navy. The guest speaker will be Capt. Dennis R, Boyer, Deputy Commander of Submarine Squadron Seven in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Later that morning at 11 a.m., eightyeight graduates of Officer Development School will mark the completion of training for service as staff corps officers.

Capt. Lena Hartzell, Executive Officer of Naval Health Clinic New England, will address the graduates. Navy Band Northeast will perform at both ceremonies. For more information, call 841-1171.

Blood Drive The R.I. Blood Center will hold a blood drive at Gym 109 on Monday, Nov. 21, 4:30-7:30 p.m. Blood supplies traditionally dwindle during the holidays, so roll up your sleeve for your shipmates and neighbors.

Plank Contest Gym 109 will host a “Last Plank Standing” Contest on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 6 a.m. -7 p.m. Contestants will be timed in the basic plank position. For more information contact the desk at Gym 109.

All Hands Thanksgiving The Officers’ Club will host a traditional Thanksgiving Day Buffet for all hands with base access. The popular celebration includes all the traditional favorites. Seating times are from noon to 4 p.m. Advanced ticketing is required. The ITT office (bldg 1255) is open Wednesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tickets are $26.50 for adults, $12 for children ages 8-12, and children ages 4-7, $6.

GUEST VIEW A Vet Remembers Those Who Served

By Jack Kelly Tomorrow, (Nov. 11) is Veterans Day. It’s a day when America recognizes the bravery, honor, courage, loyalty, service and sacrifice of all veterans. It is a day for parades, speeches, reunions, commemorations, and silent remembrances. For most veterans, it’s a day to spend a little time in quiet reflection on our own time in service.

Sometime tomorrow, I’ll look in the mirror while shaving and realize that time has moved on. I’ll see a man with gray, thinning hair, lines and wrinkles on his face, and a stubble of gray whiskers. I’ll wonder where the time went and when I actually entered my “mature years.”

I’ll think of my friends at the time of our service together, forever young and vital in my memories.

I’ll chuckle when I remember the light-hearted or bravado-charged moments we shared. I’ll remember the brotherhood, honest and heartfelt, but unspoken. Most of all, I’ll remember the honor, dignity, loyalty, discipline, and teamwork that I learned alongside these men.

I will call a few of them tomorrow, and we’ll catch up on each other’s lives. They’ll tell me about

their children and grandchildren, the deep loving pride they have for them, and the accomplishments of their younger generations. We’ll compare notes and grumble about bad knees, bad backs, blood pressure, arthritis, and diabetes–things that are slowing us down. We’ll discuss love lives, lack of love lives, divorces, and in one call, the recent loss of a supportive and loving wife.

We’ll share laughter and tears, and remember the years behind us.

We’ll talk about the friends we’ve lost along the way. Like Harry, the practical joker who couldn’t shake the demons of PTS, and died homeless, alone, and drunk in New York in 1995. Or our friend Tom, in and out of rehab for years, who lost his battle with drugs in Los Angeles in 2006. We’ll thank God that we were able to survive our own demons, and have the love of family and friends in our lives. Then we’ll part company, at least until the holiday calls that continue the bonds of brotherhood.

Today, America is extremely fortunate to have young men and women who are willing to step up and take the places of yesterday’s vets. They are bravely defending the freedoms and ideals of this

country, while watching each other’s backs.

Newport County has seen and felt its share of military losses in recent years. There continues to be a great amount of empathy and outreach to the surviving family members of these brave warriors. Today’s veterans need more than one day of remembrance. They deserve our support now more than ever.

If you want to make a difference in the life of a vet, or help the families of our present service members, there are a number of fine veterans organizations that need assistance, support, and volunteers to aid in these efforts.

It looks like two of the city’s recreation facilities will be getting much-needed makeovers.

According to the city, it’s hoping to use grant funding through a Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) program to pay for two recreation enhancement projects: the replacement of the tennis courts and ADA improvements at Hunter Park; and improvements to the softball fields, concrete stadium, scoreboard and lighting at Freebody Park.

The City Council was expected to approve the projects at their meeting Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Here’s how the projects are described, as communicated by Tree Warden Scott Wheeler in a letter to councilors: Hunter Park According to plans on file at City Hall, at Hunter Park, “the tennis courts are plagued with severe structural cracks due to substandard base materials and the adjacent playground and park amenities are not handicapped accessible.”

Improvements at the park are estimated to cost roughly $150,000 – which will be paid for through a mix of grant funding and pre-existing capital funds.

According to the city, the tennis

court repairs are expected to involve “an innovative solution” that utilizes a layer of stone reinforced with geotextile materials. As Wheeler notes, “This process will in essence raise the elevation of the courts thereby providing the opportunity to provide the accessibility improvements to the surrounding park amenities.”

The breakdown for the $150,000 cost for the project is as follows: $75,000 will come from the RIDEM grant, while $20,000 will come from the city’s ADA account, and the remaining $55,000 from its Park Facility Upgrade account.

Freebody Park Meanwhile, at Freebody Park, $400,000 in improvements are being planned.

On the field level, the sod on the two softball perimeter infields will be re-graded and replaced, a new LED scoreboard will be installed, replacing one that is roughly 30 years old, and the sports lighting system will be upgraded.

A first phase of repairs to the concrete viewing stands will also be included and a new ventilation system in the locker rooms will be installed.

As with Hunter Park, 50 percent of the funds, or $200,000, will comed from the RIDEM grant while the remainder will come from existing capital funds and a recently awarded contract to improve lighting at the park.

Middletown Seeks Grant for Multi-Use Path

By Jill Connors The Town of Middletown plans to seek $40,000 in grant funding from the State of Rhode Island to complete a feasibility study for a multi-use pedestrian and bicycle path along a spine of the town running from the Wyatt Road recreation facility to the Kempenaar Valley, according to Town Planner Ron Wolanski. Town Council recently gave the Planning Department its approval to seek the grant; applications are due next week, and it is anticipated that grant awards will be made during the winter.

“We are hopeful that funds will be awarded through the Planning Challenge Grant program given the many potential benefits of the project, including recreation and alternative transportation opportunities, and the exciting possibility of contributing to a continuous walking/multi-use trail from Portsmouth’s Glen recreation area through Middletown, and potentially on to the beaches,” noted Ron Wolanski, Middletown Planning Director, in a memo to Town Council.

Wolanski further outlined the scope of the project, describing a path that would run west from the Wyatt Road soccer fields, passing near Gaudet Middle School, Mid-

dletown High School, and continuing on to Kempenaar Valley.

Open space land that the Town has acquired, plus the location of town facilities such as the schools, the Fire Station, and the Police Station, has created the opportunity for a diagonal line through town that would intersect these key landmarks, thereby providing a natural spot for a trail. Additional land might also be purchased near Gaudet School, according to the memo.

Another positive benefit of a trail in this location is that it could potentially be connected to the Aquidneck Land Trust’s Sakonnet Greenway Trail, which extends from Portsmouth’s Glen Farm to the Middletown soccer fields on Wyatt Road. The Planning Director’s memo also stated: “There are additional opportunities for extension of the shared use path that the Town would like to pursue including future connections to the beaches.”

The $40,000 being sought from the RI Department of Administration-Statewide Planning Program’s “Planning Challenge Grant” would pay for a team of consultants to study such factors as deeds, mapping, trail alignment, and permitting, and produce concept plans and drawings.

Water Upgrades to Cost $85 million

By Tom Shevlin The full price of upgrading the city’s antiquated drinking water system could cost up to $85 million.

That is according to the city’s Department of Utilities, which asked City Council members on Wednesday to approve an ordinance authorizing the disposition of bonds to finance the design-build procurement and improvements for the Lawton Valley and Station 1 Water Treatment Plants.

While the $85 million is higher than the $72 million it’s anticipated to cost for the actual physical upgrades to the plants, the larger number encompasses the entire scope of the federally-mandated project.

As Director of Public Utilities Julia Forgue noted in a memo to councilors, the bonding will include the estimated costs associated with retaining special project advisors,

construction, the cost of issuing the bonds, and the funding of the debt service reserve fund.

Though the total project cost should easily eclipse the city’s other major construction project – the new Claiborne d. Pell Elementary School – it is actually shaping up to be less expensive than initially thought. As recently as last year, administration officials were anticipating a $100 million project cost.

Technological advances, however, have pushed that number down, and according to Forgue, it’s still possible that the total project cost will come in under the full authorized amount.

The council’s approval was needed in order to submit an application for a Certificate of Approval to the Rhode Island Department of Health. Once that is in hand, the city will be clear to obtain a loan under the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund as administered by the RI Clean Water Finance Agency.

CENTER CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 of services to its members, from educational programs, physical activities, a subsidized lunch program, or just providing one-onone help and advice. “I probably field more than 50 calls every day,” says Duga—everything from an adult child’s search for resources to help an ailing parent to a dignified 80-year-old’s first request for assistance.

One challenge the Center faces is providing programs to meet extremely varied needs. “We are dealing with three distinct age groups,” says Duga. “There are the 50- to 65-year-olds, many of whom are still working; the 65- to 75-yearolds, who are the early retirees; and the 75-year-olds and up, who need more senior services.” The Center organizes daytime programs, which members can enjoy for free, and also schedules evening classes that are revenue generating. There are plans to add a program director to the full-time staff so that more programs might be developed, both daytime and evening, to attract more members and more types of classes.

A dedicated group of 25 volun-

teers helps to keep the Center running, and there is a 14-member board that oversees the operation.

For the past six months, according to Duga, a strategic plan committee—made up of consultants, board members, and herself—has been working on a plan that will take the Center forward. “There had not been one for quite some time and with the population we serve now covering such a wide spectrum, we knew we needed to do one,” says Duga. “It’s been quite a journey.” She expects the strategic plan committee will finish the task in the next month or two, and then implementation of the findings can begin. “We need to ensure we have appropriate staff, funding, and programs to meet the community’s needs for years to come.”

The Senior Center has been in existence for 43 years, always in the Edward King House, an Italianate villa built in 1845 as a residence for wealthy China Trade merchant Edward King. The King family gave the house to the City of Newport in 1912, and it served as the public library until 1968, when a new library facility was built. The City

maintains the building’s exterior envelope.

The Edward King House itself is an architectural gem—with 12-foot-high ceilings in graciouslyproportioned rooms, original oak floors, a 19th century skylight, and a glistening wooden banister. “Renovations were done six years ago with the help of a grant from the Alletta Morris McBean Foundation,” says Duga.

But the house’s grandeur can also be misleading, notes Duga, in terms of making the community aware of the urgent need for funding. Her wish list includes additional staffing (she is the only full-time staff member, and there are several part-time positions); expanded programs that will bring in revenue; or even a simple gift of a Wii, which she knows the senior citizens would enjoy for its fitness and sports activities. “We’re still waiting for that Wii to end up at our door,” laughs Duga, who is currently finalizing a “holiday appeal” letter that will be sent to the community. For more information about supporting the Senior Center, contact Michelle Duga at 846-7426.

Council Backs Pension Reform

By Tom Shevlin Saying that the time to act is now, City Council members on Wednesday joined the chorus of supporters calling for “immediate comprehensive statewide pension reform.”

In a resolution which appeared on this week’s docket, councilors affirmed that “a failure to act now will not only endanger the sustainability of our pension system but the people of Newport will be required to pay for massive cost increases beginning in July of 2012.”

According to the resolution, without meaningful reforms, Newport’s pension costs for teachers will increase by 59 percent and require

an increase of roughly $1.2 million over what was paid in FY2012, while pension costs for municipal employees will rise by 61 percent and require an increase of roughly $1.4 million over FY2012.

The projected increase will roughly equal the amount by which the city could raise its property tax levy in FY2013.

With debate at the state level heating up in recent weeks, the city’s move did not go unnoticed by members of its municipal employee unions, some of whom attended Wednesday’s meeting.

The current proposal being debated on Smith Hill has drawn fire from labor leaders, including the

state’s teachers unions, who have taken exception to various reform elements, most notably, a provision which would freeze annual cost of living adjustments for retirees currently in the system.

However, councilors urged lawmakers to support comprehensive statewide pension reform to ensure an affordable and sustainable pension system.

“Our hard-working employees deserve a secure retirement that will be there for them throughout their retirement years; and our citizens deserve an affordable pension system that will not force our city to cut services and jobs or raise taxes,” the resolution read.

Special Events, Menus for Restaurant Week

By Annette Leiderman Raisky We’re right in the middle of Newport Restaurant Week 2011, which runs through Sunday, Nov. 13. That means you still have time to partake in all of the great restaurant special menu offerings, as well as the other events that tie into this great culinary experience.

On Saturday, Nov. 12, be sure to check out the 13th Annual Harvest Festival, hosted by Greenvale Vineyards, 582 Wapping Rd., Portsmouth. This free event, 1 – 4 p.m., celebrates the completion of the vineyard’s annual grape harvest and is open to the public. For more information, call 847-3777 or visit www.greenvale.com.

Also taking place on Saturday, Nov. 12 is a creative pairing of food and beer at the Gas Lamp Grille from 4 to 6 p.m. It’s their fourcourse pizza/beer pairing. The first course consists of Tuscan Chicken with tomatoes, white beans, onion and fresh mozzarella paired with Hoegaarden White Ale. The second course is Philly Cheese Steak with onions, peppers, and melted cheese. This is paired with Stel-

la Artois. The third course is Honey Chipotle Barbecue with pulled pork, red onion and cheddar Jack Cheese. The beer that is matched with this dish is Mayflower IPA. The fourth course, which is dessert, is Raspberry S’mores Pizza made with crumbled graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate and raspberries. The matching beer is Red Hook Winterhook. The Gas Lamp Grille is located in the heart of downtown Newport at 206 Thames St. For more information, call 845-9300 or visit www.gaslampgrille.com.

The 2011 edition of Newport Restaurant Week comes to a rousing finale with Child & Family’s 28th Annual Taste of Newport. It will be held this Sunday evening, Nov. 13 from 5:30-10 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Newport on Goat Island. This well-attended event grows in stature each year and this year promises to be the best one yet. It features more than 45 of Newport County’s best chefs and caterers who band together for charity to dazzle more than 500 attendees. It’s a wonderful showcase for the men and women who comprise this talented community. This year’s Taste of Newport

will donate proceeds to a number of programs that help to support all residents of Newport County.

DINNER & A MOVIE Brutal Film Exposes Cult Culture The logo for the film “Martha Marcy May Marlene” is a maze, and it is easy to see why.

A young woman has been taken into a cult run by a group of hippie throwbacks— seemingly—living a simple and joyous life on a sprawling farm.

She thinks it’s pretty cool at first, Patricia but she has no LACOUTURE sense of orientation or place, and asks, “Where are we?”

“About three hours from where I picked you up yesterday,” a woman replies. Three hours can be anywhere, and she seems to have lost track of whether or not the time traveled was actually three hours.

Such are the makings of a gripping psychological thriller.

“Martha Marcy May Marlene” refers to the fractured personality that Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) experiences when she returns to her sister, her only family, after being subjected to terrorizing neighbors, robbery, group sex and murder.

From the clips I have seen, I sense that this is a film that is deeply disturbing, yet compelling. Much has been said about the beauty of the cinematography, and extensive online clips bear this out. I can’t wait to see this film!

In an interview available on the Internet site Hulu, Olsen says that director Sean Durkin never uses the word “cult,” but reading between the lines, one can see that this is exactly what Martha experiences: a cult that hides behind a guise of rural simplicity and innocence. I have cringed at the brutality of some of the clips, especially

Elizabeth Olsen in “Martha Marcy May Marlene”, rated R for disturbing violent and sexual content, nudity and language. one where Martha – renamed Marcy May by cult leader Patrick (John Hawkes) – is asked to shoot an animal. A cat meows, but the clip does not show the animal.

As the film progresses, Martha tries to adapt to life with her sister, Lucy (Sarah Paulson), and her very proper (read: uptight) husband Ted (Hugh Dancy). Ted believes Martha is insane and dangerous. Lucy wants to give her younger sibling time to heal. Narrative tension runs high even after Martha has escaped her captors. The farm scenes occur in flashbacks, and they apparently grow increasingly dark as Martha sifts through layers of memory.

One scene used in the film’s trailer captures, for this critic, Martha’s state of being. She emerges from the lake with a look of terror, as if her conflicts and trauma lie beneath the water waiting to pull her under. She is literally fighting for her life as well as her sanity and her

identity.

“Martha Marcy May Marlene” was a huge hit at the Toronto and Cannes Film Festivals, and it won the 2011 Sundance Best Director Award. It is a limited release, so we are fortunate to have the opportunity to see it on the big screen at the Jane Pickens Theater. Carole Mallory, of “The Huffington Post,” cites the directing award and adds, “If you have the opportunity to see it, you will see why.”

I urge you to take the opportunity to see this film, because it is going to be a contender for more awards.

Patricia Lacouture currently teaches film studies at Salve Regina University. She also taught at Rhode Island College for ten years. She completed her graduate studies in film from Boston University.

Film Honors Veterans Jamestowner Barbara Ann Porter, fondly called Babs, is seen here with actor Dana Andrews from the 1943 film “Crash Dive.” The film also starred Tyrone Power and Anne Baxter. Power and Andrews were both in Jamestown during the filming of the movie. “Crash Dive” was Power’s last film before he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Photographs of other Jamestowners with film stars will also be on display at the screening.

In honor of Veterans Day, the film will be shown Friday, Nov. 11, free of charge, at 7 p.m., at the Jamestown Library.

Refreshments will be served.

The event is open to the public and is sponsored by “Jamestown and the Silver Screen,” the Jamestown Historical Society, and the Jamestown American Legion and VFW.

Last week, a close friend and his sons, ages ten and eight years, joined me on a morning walk at Sachuest Point Natural Wildlife Refuge. It was just after sunrise, on a beautifully clear and crisp fall morning, when we began our quest. We were out for our third walk of the fall season searching for migratory songbirds, waterfowl, and raptors. The boys were hoping to see, or just catch a glimpse of, male deer or “bucks”.

Mating season for whiteJack tailed deer begins at the end of OctoKELLY ber, and the bucks have reached the time when their antlers are fully formed.

As we made our way along the Ocean Loop Trail, we sighted a number of sea ducks, such as Black Scoters, Surf Scoters, Common Eiders, and Buffleheads. They were busy diving for small fish, mussels, and other delicacies from the sea.

Among the tall grasses of the fields we observed Yellow-rumped Warblers, Savannah Sparrows, Whitethroated Sparrows, and other songbirds.

We set up a telescope we brought with us to get a better look at our quarry. The boys were busy looking through their field guides to determine the identity of a certain avian species we were watching in the trailside thickets. The ten-yearold found it first, a White-crowned Sparrow, a common migratory songbird at Sachuest Point NWR. The sun was climbing higher in the blue sky as we rounded Sachuest Point itself, and sighted two harbor seals sunning themselves on an offshore rock. The boys were taking turns looking at the seals through the telescope when a small flock of twelve Harlequin ducks landed close to the shoreline. The sunlight illuminated and highlighted the cobalt blue and cinnamon colors of the male

ducks’ plumage.

As we made our way east along the southern coast, a female Harrier Hawk was flying low over the open fields, searching for prey. One of the boys pointed to a soaring Redtailed Hawk that was lazily circling in the sky, above the same field.

Just as we rounded a curve in the trail, the boys, who were walking ahead of us, stopped dead in their tracks. A doe and her yearling were standing in the middle of the trail staring back at the boys. The boys knew to hold their position and we all froze in place. The two deer held their stare for a few seconds more, then ran and leapt into the brush.

Our conversation became quite animated as we recounted this thrilling event with each other. The tenyear-old was upset with himself because he didn’t try to get a picture of the deer with his new camera. He wants to enter next year’s amateur photo contest sponsored by the Friends of the Natural Wildlife Refuges of R.I. I assured him that he would have plenty of time to get other photos. I commiserated with him, and related a couple of tales of when I was so captivated by nature that I missed a chance to capture a photograph of something truly amazing.

The rest of our walk was fairly uneventful and as we walked back to the parking lot, the boys were still hoping to see a buck. Just as we neared the car, an eight-point buck scampered across the north field, not far from the parking lot. The boys got their wish just in time.

It was the perfect end to a great walk with my friend and his sons.

We continued our conversations over breakfast at the People’s Café in Newport. As I watched them, I saw a very happy dad who got to spend quality time with his sons, teaching them to care for and respect the gifts of nature. The boys were happy because they got to spend time with their dad.

So, why let them drink it?

Studies show that more than one sugar-sweetened beverage per day can increase even an active child’s risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and other health problems.

RHS Devours EG 45-12, Clinch Div. III Playoff Berth

Rogers

(D-III 6-1-0)

E. Greenwich

The Rogers High School football team scored early and often on Friday November 4, and made roadkill out of host East Greenwich High School, 45-12. The victory raised the Vikings’ Division III record to 6-1, assuring themselves of a playoff berth later this month and, with a Thanksgiving Day win over Tiverton, the #1 seed. RHS was led by quarterback Cody Platt’s three passing TDs; two to Trevor Morgera for 48 and 80 yards and another to Divon Bailey for 23 yards. Viking running back Reeyon Watts added two TDS, one on a 54-yard interception return; another on a 38-yard scamper.

Corey Jones and Marc Washington each added running TDs of their own in the second half to close out the romp.
