By Meg O’Neil NEWPORT – Located on the trunk of a magnificent cucumber tree at the Stella Marris B&B on Washington Street, is a small plaque that reads, “There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, But our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.”

Visitors to the Secret Garden Tours of Newport should reflect on that quote during this weekend’s explorations of beautifully manicured hidden home gardens in the quaint Point neighborhood. The self-guided walking tour brings you inside the walls and fences of some very green-thumbed garden-

Perrotti Park expansion nearing completion By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – Construction is expected to wrap up by the end of the week at Perrotti Park, where crews are putting the finishing touches on long awaited improvements aimed at enticing the expanded use of waterborne transit, city officials said on Tuesday. Late last week, a barge loaded with a large crane slowly made its way into the downtown corner of Newport Harbor. For the next several days, a series of large pilings were fitted into place, one of the last pieces to a months-long project which will effectively double the city's downtown water transit facilities. Once complete, the project will include new floating docks similar to those already in use outside of the Harbormaster’s Office, as well as a new gazebo structure at the Long Wharf side of the park. City officials hope that by expanding the park’s facilities, it will be better able to facilitate the disembarkation of passengers from the city’s burgeoning cruise ship traffic, encourage the expanded use of waterborne transit, and generate additional revenue through tie-up fees. Originally slated to be finished in time for the start of the summer season, a series of construction hiccups pushed the project back several weeks before work resumed late last month. According to Paige Bronk, director of planning, zoning, and develop-

ment for the city, the $580,000 federally funded project could be complete and ready for use as soon as Sunday – ready to receive passengers well in time for the height of the cruise ship and festival seasons. It’s the first major expansion of the public facility since it opened in 2001 to great fanfare, as part of federal grant aimed at encouraging alternate modes of transportation – specifically harbor shuttle service. Until last year, the park had been most actively served as an arrival and deprture point by the now defunct RIPTA Providence-Newport Ferry dur-

ing the summer, and cruise ship tenders during the fall. But with operators like Oldport and Conanicut Marine both now offering regular shuttle service around the bay, the docks are poised to play a more active role in the city’s transportation options. The docks aren’t expected to be made available to transient, or recreational boaters, but planning is also underway to install an additional seet of floating docks along Long Wharf designed specifically with private vessels in mind.

NEWPORT – City councilors who last month failed to breach a stalemate over proposed revisions to Newport's historic district ordinance are working towards a comprise which could have many historic homeowners breathing a much needed sigh of relief. Details of the potential compromise are still being circulated around City Hall, but one possibility that could be addressed at the council's next meeting on July 14, would create a public process by which homeowners in the city's historic districts could petition the city to have their neighborhood's landscape features included under the governance of the Historic District Commission (HDC). The effort is being led by councilors Justin S. McLaughlin, Stephen R. Coyne, and Charles Y. Duncan. If it secures the majority sentiment of the council, the measure could finally signal the end to a 27-month long process aimed at making the Historic District Commission process more user-friendly while ensuring the ordinance's authority over the protection and preservation of the historic fabric of the city – a goal which only two weeks ago seemed in flux after councilors were unable to reach an agreement over the wording of a provision regulating the treatment of historic walls, fences, and gateposts along Bellevue Avenue. Since the ordinance's abrupt defeat on June 23, councilors have on the whole, been vocal in their desire to see the issue revisited. See ‘CounCil’ on Page 3

After Cup visit, renewed reasons to hope NEWPORT – For months, members of the group organizing the state's bid to bring the America's Cup back to Newport have been working under the assumption that a detailed request for proposals (RFP) would be used to guide their efforts in wooing Team BMW Oracle away from its home base in San Francisco. Plans, however, have changed. Speaking at a luncheon at Fort Adams on Thursday as part of an elaborate America's Cup victory tour, Tom Ehman, director of external affairs for BMW Oracle Racing, said that there's no real need for a formal RFP. "We know who the players are," he said. And Newport is on their short list. According to Keith Stokes, executive director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIDEC) and chairman of the state's America's Cup Planning Committee, that's good news for Newport. "It's an advantage to us," Stoke said in an interview on Tuesday. Comparing the process to a good round of golf, Stokes said it's no longer us versus everyone else, he said. "Russell Coutts (President of BMW Oracle Racing) has reached out to us and asked that we put together our formal proposal," Stokes said. Coutts, who was in town on Wednesday and rearranged his schedule to stay through the public viewing the following day, was one of several key BMW Oracle team members to tour Fort Adams following the luncheon on Thursday. Stokes was with the group, and reported that Thursday's visit could play a big role in determining where Newport falls in the Cup sweepstakes. In addition to showcasing the state's enthusiasm for the Cup's return (Ehman said that it was the biggest public reception the team has had since arriving back in the states), Stokes said that the team was extremely impressed by Sail Newport's youth programs, and taken by the possibilities of developing Fort Adams into a Cup venue. "Now it's not speculative any more," Stokes said. "Before we were talking about our soft assets – the wind, the history. Now we're talking in real specific terms about the hard assets." And following Thursday's event, he said, it's not a question of if the state has the political will to be a part of the next Cup, it's whether Rhode Island can build out the necessary infrastructure to support a race that size.

Mahut Generates Buzz in Newport After Epic Match By Andrea E. McHugh

As competition heats up, quite literally, at the Campbell’sHall of Fame Tennis Championships, perhaps no tournament player is generatingmore buzz than Nicolas Mahut. The Frenchman is fresh off his now-legendary,recordshattering 11 hour and 5 minute match at Wimbledon last month versusAmerica’s John Isner. While Isner proved victorious in the longest professional tennis match ever played, the battle propelled both playersinto the record books. Mahut made a donation of memorabilia from the epic match tothe Museum at the International Tennis Hall of Fame a week after Wimbledon thatincluded a shirt, shorts and one autographed sneaker, all of which were worn onthe second day of the match. Mahut is no stranger to Newport though; he’smaking his fifth appearance at the championships this week and he was afinalist in 2007. However, his newly-found household name status has made himone of the most

anticipated players to see despite the nearly record-breakingheat wave. Mahut’s first return to the courts was on Tuesday, July 6, against Alejandro Falla of Columbia, who took Federer through 5 intense sets in Wimbledon’s first round, where he won to advance to the next round.

CUP VISIT CONTINUED fROM PG. 1 Stokes thinks you can. "If you looked at Fort Adams, and if you were a visionary, you could create a pretty comprehensive international sailing center there," he said. BMW Oracle's Ehman seemed to agree. “Facilities here are not a problem," he said. "History and tradition here is not a problem.� San Francisco, on the other hand, has "no infrastructure," he said. "They have no tradition." The other attractive feature of Rhode Island, Stokes said, is its scale. From using Quonset/Davisville as a hub for private aircraft, to taking advantage of the East Bay's extensive marine trades facilities, Stokes said that Rhode Island could provide a unique dedication to developing the support system necessary for hosting the next Cup race. Working with the state Department of Environmental Management, the governor, general assembly, City of Newport, and Rhode Island's full congressional delegation, Stokes pledged an all-out effort to put forth the most comprehensive and detailed plan possible to present to CEO Larry Ellison and BMW Oracle.

It's one of the few times that Stokes said he could recall when everyone in the state's political class was on the same page. Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D) and Jack Reed (D) have been particularly supportive on the federal level, he said, and were the only two senators in attendance at the White House last week when the Cup made an official visit to Washington, D.C. "Size does matter in this case," Stokes said, adding that he told Coutts that if Newport is selected as the site of the next Cup, it will be one of the state's number one priorities for the years leading up the race and thereafter. The next planning meeting for the state's working group is tentatively being eyed for Friday, July 23 at 3 p.m. at City Hall in Newport, at which time the group is expected to hear more details about the state's site plans for the fort and its broader strategy moving forward. Reflecting on last week's visit, Stokes said simply, "My sense was that Thursday was very significant."

the tour this year, including the circa 1770 Faisneau House Ell, located at 85 Bridge Street. The house is also marked as being part of Operation Clapboard, the 1960s grassroots organization started by philanthropist Doris Duke as a means to save colonial era homes. A veteran house on the tour is the above mentioned Stella Marris, owned by Ed and Dorothy Madden, which was built in 1861, and used by the sisters of Cluny as an assisted living facility for women. The Madden’s purchased the property 20 years ago and have kept the shaded gardens as an escape for guests to kick-back, relax, and enjoy. The large yard is home to home to two Copper Beech trees whose rings count over one hundred years old. A small gazebo with the famed “Bird Girl of Savannah� statue sits next to a dogwood allee that leads guests through the Lilies, Irises, and climbing red Roses out to the side yard. In this side yard is a blooming vegetable garden that is watered with a rain collection barrel, thus making the garden self-sustaining. Be sure to find the small sculpture where “Mother Nature� has taken her course in the hollow of an old tree trunk. Over on 25 Willow St. is the Berlinghof house, whose garden is on the tour every other year. This year, the crowds will get to travel on the weaving cobblestone to the small backyard oasis filled with topiaries and plants thanks to Haskell Gardens in New

Bedford. Right next door, although not on the tour this year, is a “peak-aboo� garden where visitors can take a sneak peak into the yard of Bob and Christine Agnew where a Porcelain Vine entrance way leads a stunning Japanese Willow. This house won the best small garden category last year, and is a must for those meandering wanderers on the tour. These are just a small handful of the private gardens that visitors will be able to see this coming weekend. A must-see for everyone in town, the gardens evoke all the senses. Smell the sea-air mixed with floral bouquets, see the stunning colors of the plants and flowers, hear the winds gently whipping through the tree limbs, and truly listen to the music that nature provides.

Maintaining a garden is no easy feat; some people may call it art. To keep a garden going and thriving takes talent and practice. This is why it is important to know that every penny raised by the Secret Garden Tours ticket sales go towards keeping arts programs alive for Aquidneck Island public schools. Since 1984, founder Myra Duvally and her right hand assistant Beverly “Bugsy� Park, have helped raise over $1.25 million to help fund dozens of art, music, and theater programs on the island. In a time of school budget cuts, art programs are many times the first to go. The weekend tour of the flourishing neighborhood gardens helps ensure that students will have arts programs to help them flourish their passions for the rest of their lives.

Two remain in US Cup chase By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – As we first reported on Newport Now, the list of U.S. cities vying for the Cup has gotten shorter in recent days with San Diego ruled out of consideration. To the delight of audience members on Thursday, BMW Oracle’s Tom Ehman revealed that Newport and San Francisco are the only two North American cities still under consideration as the site of the 34th America’s Cup. Ehman, skillfully working the microphone, was animated throughout his presentation, trading barbs with sailing luminaries like Halsey Herreshoff and Gary Jobson. He also let slip a few until-now unknown insights, not least of which was a statement which acknowledged that San Diego, the last stateside Cup venue, has deferred its interest in the race in favor of its northerly neighbor. San Diego was always upfront that it would only be interested in the Cup if San Francisco proved problematic as a venue, Ehman said. But as San Francisco has stepped up its efforts to secure the Cup, San Diego has begun to wind down. Newport is the only other city being considered in the U.S., Ehman said. And while San Francisco may have the inside track given BMW Oracle CEO's Larry Ellison's ties to the area, Ehman noted that Newport has the facilities, history, and tradition to put it in consideration. In addition to the two U.S. sites, Ehman said that two or three sites in Europe are also being considered, including the home of the last two Cup races – Valencia, Spain. A final decision on the venue is expected by the end of the year.

let the campaign begin! By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – Last Wednesday marked the end of a three-day window in which candidates had to declare their intent to seek political office; and in what is shaping up to be a robust field, a total of 27 individuals filed paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office to run for either City Council or School Committee. On the council side, 16 prospective candidates have declared their intent to run for either one of four at-large, or three ward seats. That includes nine declared at-large candidates, who if all gather the necessary 200 signatures to qualify for the ballot, would face off in a primary to determine the top eight vote-getters. All three ward councilors will also have challengers in November – a prospect which promises to make for some interesting theater for political watchers. Moving to the school side, 11 Newporters have set their sights on occupying one of the city's seven School Committee seats. It's the most crowded political field Newporters will see on the ballot in years, and on both sides, voters will be able to choose from a mix of established incumbents, along with a diverse batch of challengers – some veteran political hands, others, newcomers. Meanwhile, on the state level, each

of Aquidneck Island's general assembly members except one appear set to face challenges in November. In Newport, Rep. Peter Martin (D) will face Republican Patrick J. Donovan in the District 75 race; while Rep. J. Russell Jackson (D) in District 73 looks to be unseated by Independent Gregory W. Larson and Marquise J. Rivon, a Republican. Fellow Democrat and former state Senator David J. Carlin has also declared, but a primary is not a certainty at this point. Senate President M. Teresa PaivaWeed (D), who represents Newport and Jamestown in Senate District 13, will be challenged by political newcomer Geoffrey Cook, of Newport – a Briton and recently nationalized citizen. Meanwhile, in Jamestown and Middletown, two candidates – Independent Daniel J. Capuano and Anthony A. Mastrostefano, a Republican – are lining up to challenge state Rep. Deb Ruggeiro (D) in District 74. No surprise here, but it'll be a repeat for Rep. Amy G. Rice (D) in District 72 as she faces another challenge by Republican Daniel P. Riley, who narrowly lost in 2008. And while it looks to be an active campaign for Middletown's House seats, in the state Senate, first-term incumbent Louis P. DiPalma (D) has a clear shot to re-election, running unopposed in District 12. All candidates still need to collect a

certain number of required signatures prior to July 16 in order to appear on the ballot, so the races could potentially change.

Codifying a particular area within the ordinance, he said, was something he remained uneasy about. Joined at the time by Councilwoman Kathryn E. Leonard, the 3-3 vote had been a stunning blow to proponents of the comprehensive ordinance change, which has been a focal point for preservationists and historic homeowners for years. On Tuesday, Leonard said that she has long supported the passage of the broader ordinance, but took issue with including a provision to single out the Bellevue corridor without a sufficient public process. As a councilor, she said, "it's my job to represent the people." Signaling a willingness to support a provision that would create a public process by which homeowners could request that certain landscape features be protected by the HDC, Leonard said, "I believe walls, fences, and gate posts should be protected." The ordinance as presented last month, she explained, simply didn't address her concern of including the general public in the process, but revising the broader ordinance has always had her support. It has been an effort years in the making. In 2008, after years of frustration over process and procedure, city councilors created an ad-hoc Historic

District Zoning Ordinance Review Task Force. For more than 18 months, the group met to craft language that would balance the city’s need to preserve its historic fabric while at the same time making the HDC review process less restrictive and time-consuming for homeowners. Along the way, however, an amendment was proposed that would single out the Bellevue Avenue corridor as of particular value to Newport’s historic character. However, singling out that area made some on the council uneasy. Third Ward Councilor Leonard, whose ward includes Bellevue Avenue, the Ochre Point neighborhood, and Historic Hill, voiced her concern in the run-up to the June 23 vote over a process which she said could be much too costly and overly burdensome for many individuals and groups with property along the street. How the council responds to a reworked ordinance, and whether it will need to be re-advertised before final passage, remains to be seen; however with two of the three previously opposing votes actively working towards a compromise, the prospects are good that homeowners in the city's historic neighborhoods could soon experience a significantly streamlined HDC process.

COunCIl COnTInuEd fROm pg. 1 While a complete proposal has yet to be fully worked out, the general idea is to provide Newporters a process by which neighbors could engage the Historic District Commission to provide protection to contributing historic landscape features such as walls, gates and fences. The proposed measure would not be unlike the city's existing process for residents to petition for sticker parking in residential neighborhoods. Councilor Duncan, who cited concern over including language that seemed to favor protecting one area over another in his vote against the ordinance last month, has already submitted a request for reconsideration be placed on the council's July 14 meeting. Both Duncan's concerns, and his eagerness to see the broader ordinance move forward, was shared by fellow Councilor Coyne – who also voted against what he described as an aversion to "spot zoning." On Tuesday, Duncan reiterated his support for the broader ordinance revision, saying that there had been "too much work, and too much effort put into the ordinance" to let it fail. At the same time, Duncan said that it's important to establish a vehicle by which all parties can have the opportunity to ensure the historic preservation of their respective streetscapes.

Historic Vernon Papers return to Newport Approximately 200 documents from the Vernon family of Newport were jointly purchased at auction by the Newport Restoration Foundation (NRF) and the Newport Historical Society(NHS). The collection includes one particularly notable document outlining the protocol for a July 4 celebration in Newport shortly after the Revolution. The collection of Vernon family papers will reside in the archives at the Newport Historical Society, which already owns many Vernon familydocuments. The papers will be documented and studied by bothorganizations. Once they are cataloged, they will be available to scholars and the public for research purposes.

OPINION Editorial

A Walk of Shame However one chooses to end their night, there’s no excuse for waking up with to trash. Whether it’s on the water boating, or on the trails hiking, those of us who spend time outdoors are taught to leave no trace. If we have garbage, we take it with us. We do so because we respect our environment and the part we play in it. If only some of us had the same respect for the city. Walking down Thames Street from Historic Hill this weekend on what was a beautiful summer morning required the skill of downhill skier. Empty pizza boxes, beer cans, and the occasional paper bag filled with remnants of the night before that didn’t quite make it to the nearest trash receptacle littered the streets and sidewalks like a mogul course. To the credit of the city, by the end of the day, most of the trash bins had been emptied and much of the garbage on the street picked up. Yet, for visitors coming into town for the first time that morning or early afternoon, the sight of garbage strewn across sidewalks and in the streets, could not have left a good impression. For parents walking with their kids down to the harbor, or through our historic neighborhoods, dodging broken beer bottles does not exactly make for family friendly activity. For Newporters, it’s just shameful. Before they open their doors, many small business owners can often be found with a broom and dustpan sweeping the outsides clear of broken glass or picking up leftover trash from the night before. It’s a matter of appearance and a matter of pride, they say. But it’s also a burden. Year after year, we cope with the litter – we accept it as part and parcel of living in a resort destination. It seems, however, that an issue as straightforward as getting people to dispose of their trash properly, would come with an equally straightforward solution: x First, the city should expand the use of its industrial-sized trash bins. One could be found outside of the Armory Center next to the standard metal bins last weekend and was over half-way filled. Placing more of these bins in areas where late night revelers tend to congregate after the bars close, only seems to make sense. x Second, police should step up their enforcement of the city’s existing anti-littering ordinance – especially during late night hours. Additional patrols are already in place for crowd control at strategic locations throughout the downtown area. Not coincidentally, these same areas are also normally the locations of some of the heaviest littering. x And finally, for those who call Newport home – be it just for the summer, or full-time – should lead by example. Take pride in your city. Try to instill that same pride in your friends, neighbors, and fellow partiers. There are plenty of reasons why people come to Newport year after year. Stepping over someone else’s trash is not one of them.

More than 400 youth sailors from across Rhode Island participated in Thursday’s America’s Cup visit. The strength of the area’s youth sailing programs, like the ones found at Sail Newport, is being touted as one of Rhode Island’s most important factors in the state’s effort to secure the next Cup race in either 2013 or 2014.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR On Grammar Dear Grammar Policeman, Thank you for your thoughtful, anonymous postcard. I’m glad you liked my letter to the editor of Newport This Week and sorry if you feel I messed up by mixing “myself”, “I” and “me” to your dissatisfaction! Over the course of my life I have had to work in Scot’s English, English English, Euro English, Microsoft Proofing English (UK and US) and American English. Each offers significantly different dictionaries and subtly different grammar rules. Personally I quite like some of Mr. Webster’s sensible spelling compared to some of the arcane versions found in the Oxford English Dictionary but I can well remember my (Scots) English teacher insisting that her version of English was cast in stone and no other versions were acceptable. Clearly this was at variance with the rest of the world. This has led to occasional difficulties as I have lived in different parts of the world - but I seem to manage to communicate and make myself understood. THAT SAID - I do tend to at least run my public communications through a spell and style checker set to US English. So you will be sad to know that Mr. Gates didn’t trip my letter up for my usage of “myself”, “I” and “me”. Perhaps you would like to drop him a line too so that the proofing software can be corrected to your satisfaction: Mr. Bill Gates Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399 Again - thanks for your postcard! Graeme J.W.Smith, Newport

Becoming a Part of Diversity: Summer Student Series Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series of articles, in our “Summer Student Series,” which highlights impressions shared by foreign exchange college students. Below, is a piece written by two young ladies who are entering their final year at the American University in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. They are both journalism majors who met at college. Stefva is from Stara Zagora, Bulgaria and Veselina is from Lovech, Bulgaria.

By Stefva Ivanova and Veselina Shestorkina Walk into one of the souvenir shops on Thames St. and you have a huge chance of running into us. How to know? We’re easily given away by the Bulgarian accent. We are “summer birds” meaning when the end of May comes, we migrate to the States; we go back home when September begins. We chose Newport as a destination and we have been doing so for three years in a row. Now, the question to ask here is: Why? The truth is, we can rarely answer it, ourselves. When thinking about it, though, it all comes down to people. People, who have been nice to us, people who haven’t and new people we meet every day. Two summers ago, we came to Newport after months of waiting: we had to get our visas and we

worked with an agency in Bulgaria to find jobs in the States. To be honest, we did not expect anything of what has happened to us in our summer adventures since that first year. However, the most important factor in our decisions to keep coming back are people, not the ones who made our first summer hell, but the ones who showed us that the pineapple, Newport’s symbol of hospitality, has some meaning. Believe us, nobody goes to live somewhere just because of the beautiful architecture, the food or the ocean. Yes, there are multiple aspects of the decisions one makes, but the “human factor” always plays an important role in the picture. Moreover, if you want to really experience Newport, you should come and stay for more than a week; thus seeing not only the façade, but moving beyond the fence and becoming a part of the diverse life in the city-by-the-sea. We had the chance to pass further than the membrane of the resort, the chance to peek into the mind of Newport, which tourists rarely see when coming on a vacation. What did we see? To be honest, a bunch of “strange” people living together. People who are seemingly incompatible with each other, who often appear bizarre in the way they think or act. Nevertheless, these people manage to form

a community consisting of many nationalities, values and beliefs. Somehow Americans, Europeans, Guatemalans, Lebanese, Jamaicans, Brazilians and others, make a “chemical compound” that makes Newport quite an interesting place, especially during the summer. We come back to Newport every year, because we enjoy the swirl of different people, different faiths and the way they influence us, or the way we touch their lives. No matter how much people who have lived here for a long-time might complain that they are bored with their everyday life here, it’s not true. There is always something going on; something always changing; exactly the small and personal things that make Newport the special place it is.

We know Jefferson’s words, but they deserve a recap and a slow read: “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed” As the sun shined on July 4th festivities this past weekend it’s hard to imagine what it must have been like for Adams and Jefferson and their group of rag-tag colonists, the men responsible for these ideas, to send a break up letter across the water to King George in merry old England, then one of the world’s super powers. That day created our country and although the world has changed, it is good to reread the words and to remember them. And what better place to celebrate the boldness of these great men than in merry old and very historical Newport, which, judging by the glamorous goings on around town, is undergoing a sea change of its own? The smart young set had dinner at the elegant Sky Bar atop Bannister’s Wharf on Friday night alongside a lot of Newporters. Bingo Gubelmann and his girl friend Kate Werlein were there with his Bingo’s buddy Winston Lapham and Winston’s gal pal Hayley Bloomingdale, and on Saturday night, down the street, the Grande Dame herself, Dodo Hamilton, celebrated the

On the town: Cary Fuller and Jessica Pizzo (above), and Lisa and Scott Edson (inset) grand opening of her new jet set chic 41 North ( yes, it is open now to the public) with quite an array of folks popping in off their yachts. There were terra firma guests as well: Blott Kerr-Wilson, the shell artist who created the extraordinary abalone piece at the top of the stairs of the hotel, the new owners of “Seaweed”, (who have done a meticulous restoration on the house), Melanie Delman and Co. and over 200 others celebrated the new state of the art marina, the hotel, the ever so modern East Hampton like restaurant, the flowing champagne, lobster, oysters and live entertainment from Miami’s Brendan O’Hara and The Big Bounce Collective. Those who love the place, however, are wishing that the food was a tad tastier with maybe larger portions and lower prices. Just passing it along! All proceeds from that event will go to “Share Our Strength”, a national charity dedicated to ending childhood hunger. And yes, there is a $500 41 North card that you can purchase giving you priority access to extra goodies like weekly promos and wine tastings, yoga

on the deck and card- holder only family outings. “Think of it as a VIP pass to the property,” said Rebecca White, event and marketing manager. From hot parties to serious tennis as The Campbell’s Hall of Fame Tennis Championships take place this week with several top American players competing with eight seeds filled by Top 100 players all vying for the Van Alen Cup. Dustin Brown, the yummy 6’5” player from Germany became the first Jamaican in the Top 100, Wimbledon is there, and Rajeev Ram, winner of the Championship last year and ranked number 79 in the World is back again to try his hand. Don’t forget to sign up for an evening with the legendary B.B. King next Sunday to celebrate a great week of tennis and support this International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum. Here’s to a Happy July Fourth had by all. Don’t forget a great concert happening at Ballard Park on Thursday and yoga on Tuesday evening, and may we remain true to the words of The Declaration, embody its courage, and support all our historic institutions that make this town so stunning.

A trip to Newport wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Easton’s Beach for their famous twin lobster rolls. After a stroll along the scenic three-quarter-mile sandy beach, we headed up to the snack bar, where we placed our order. Service is fast at Easton’s. While we were checking out the specials board, which included whole bellied clams, chowder, and clam strips, our meals arrived. Two toasty hot dog buns were filled with big chunks of pink lobster and just the right amount of mayo and crisp chopped lettuce, aside some “boardwalk fries�–all for the unbelievably low price of $10.99. It’s no surprise that folks have been calling ahead from as far away as Iowa to make sure their favorite lobster rolls would be there when they arrived in Newport on vacation. Our hungry beach buddies also chowed down on some of the snack bar’s other fresh seafood items. The fish and chips they said was amazing and the best anywhere-filet of sole with a light fried coating, served with sides of fries and slaw. The fried tender sweet clam strips also got raves as did the crab cake sandwich, which was an evening special.

Of course we saved room for dessert, which was a mouth-watering sweet treat that’s new this year. Slices of fried dough were topped with sliced fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. It’s no wonder that this is the favorite dessert of Newport Mayor JeanneMarie Napolitano. She knows her desserts! The Easton’s Beach Snack Bar menu also features a variety of seafood items including clam cakes, New England style chowder, clam rolls, and a fish sandwich.

is getting it there. I put lots of different sources together to make a whole and to create a new structure. “You see what you see, and you gather and make something interesting and beautiful,� she writes in a statement she has issued with the series. Her earlier, more abstract work, did not incorporate the bright colors of the most recent work, but even with that Faust is intent on creating beautiful, sometimes mysterious images that are not entirely comfortable. This, too, is connected to her work as an organizer. “It’s a scary world,� she says. “I don’t want my work to be too comfortable. It should reflect the agitation that people feel. Life is so crazy today. Everyone is so busy. There’s the cell phone, email, text messages; you can’t get away. I want the work to incorporate some of the discomfort of that situation.� Faust grew up and was educated in Ohio. She attended Antioch College, a small liberal arts school in the tiny community of Yellow Springs, not far from Springfield, Ohio. Founded in 1852, Antioch was one of the first schools to offer African-Americans an opportunity for higher education, and it has a tradition of championing social causes and reform. Like so many people who settle in Newport, the Navy, by way of her first husband, brought Faust to the city. She had transplanted herself nearly three decades ago to New England when she attended Tufts University for a master’s degree

and a master’s in fine arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Still, she jokes, that Newport natives don’t consider her one of them. “They often refer to me as a midwesterner,� she says. “I just roll with it.� She found her adopted city a lovely place to raise a child and to make art, and in her heart, she is a Newporter, though perhaps not a qualified native. Interestingly, she hasn’t used the diverse backdrop of Newport in her work. It has mostly come from her life as a professional organizer, but it speaks to her own views about the dual beauty and danger of life in the modern world. Her abstract pieces have an architectural sense about them and often lead the viewer to search for light among undefined dark spaces as if the painting were leading you out of the darkness of personal stress, despair or depression. They possess a tranquility and invite meditation. These works also emanate from her efforts to help people deal with the physical evidence of their stress. She has worked with clients who have gone through a divorce, lost a parent and a job all at the same time. Straightening a messy living room or an entire house can be therapeutic, but finding the will and the energy to do it often eludes people under stress. “Sometimes it’s like an archaeological dig,� Faust says. “You never know what you’ll find under the piles of stuff.

Wine Down Wednesday

It has been a busy summer so far for Newport artist Jemison Faust. Her work has been included in two gallery exhibitions in Massachusetts, including a juried show at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, and she has won first prize in painting at the Newport Art Museum’s annual Juried Members Show for the second time. She’s also working pretty hard at her “real� job. Like most artists, Faust keeps a day job that provides her with the income needed to support herself and her artwork. In Faust’s case, the day job does more than produce revenue; it inspires the ideas that underpin her art whether it is straight painting, collage or mixed media as is the case with her current series of work entitled “Before the Work Begins: Tipping Point Series.� One of the works in that series won the first prize at the Art Museum, and it drew its inspiration from a project that Faust took on in her role as a professional organizer. She’s been doing that work for more than two decades, and it takes her into people’s homes and offices where she deals with the physical messes they have created that are often reflective of the emotional messes they are dealing with in their lives. “It’s very personal,� Faust says. “People let me into their homes and they want me to help them deal with the physical distress of their environment. In some cases it’s just because they are very busy people. In other cases it’s because they’re under emotional stress. I help them get their lives in order.� In a funny way, the clients of Faust’s organizing business help her get her artwork in order. The Tipping Point series focuses on a room in a home that was randomly packed with toys. When she saw the room, with colorful toys strewn everywhere, she immediately thought, “This would make beautiful paintings.� Instead they turned out to be colorful mixed media images that began with photographs she took of the space and of other toys. She collaged and layered the images to create several different works in bright, vivid colors. “When I see something like this in someone’s home, I begin to see an image I can create,� Faust explains. “I know what I want it to look like.

By Meg O’Neil Comedy legends Richard “Cheech� Marin and Tommy Chong are blazing a trail to the Newport Yachting Center this Saturday night for a stop on their “Get It Legal� tour. The iconic counter-culture duo from the 70s and 80s have reunited to fire-up the stage and give their fans a night of gut-busting, red-eyed comedy. With nine hit comedy albums, eight hit films, and multiple Grammy wins and nominations under their bongs, whoops, I meant under their belts, Cheech & Chong are no strangers to lighting-up a crowd. The wildly famous comedy stoners broke up for a period of 23 years to pursue different careers and goals, but reunited in 2008 to bring back their famous potpourri of humor to their loyal, munchiehungry fans. Make your way over to the Yachting Center anytime after 4:20 on Saturday night to see what the buzz is about. A slight change in schedule for

Faust Continued from p. 10 “The material stuff is tied to people’s memories, and it’s difficult to part with. For me, as an artist, pristine spaces are boring. That’s why I’m drawn to the chaos of some of the spaces I’ve worked in.� Do clients object to her using their stressed out homes as models for her art? Faust says she is very direct with someone whose home or office has inspired her to create an image, and if they aren’t comfortable with it, she doesn’t do the work. Surprisingly, most don’t seem to mind. So, is Jemison Faust an artist who makes a living as a professional organizer, or is she a professional organizer who makes art? She says she’s both, though people often feel that if she tells them she’s both, they don’t trust that she’s either.

the Comedians of Chelsea Lately show on Friday night; Chuy Bravo, Chelsea Handler’s little assistant, is unable to make it to the show this weekend, so taking his place is round table favorite, and ladies man, Josh Wolf. “America’s Sister,â€? Loni Love, took some time to talk to Newport This Week about what the crowd can expect this Friday at the Yachting Center. “The first thing is they can expect to have a really good time, they can expect to laugh. You’re going to get three different comics and that’s what I like about the Comedians of Chelsea Lately tour. It’s a sample; You know, I relate everything to food because I’m for my people, the fat people. It’s like going to a buffet. You get to sample three different types of comics, and because of that, you know you’re going to have a good time. If you like the show, if you like Chelsea Handler, if you like Chelsea Lately, then this is what you’re going to get. And we all know each other and just have a really good time‌I believe in giving good shows, and all the Comedians of Chelsea Lately tour shows have been good regardless of what comics are there. As a comic, you want to go out and see the people that watch the show, and you get so excited at how excited the crowd gets!â€? Log-on to our website at www.newport-now. com this week to see the rest of full interview from three of the Chelsea Lately comedians performing here this Friday.

“It’s like, if you’re an artist, you’re supposed to make a living from art,� she says. “People don’t take you seriously otherwise, though most artists don’t make their living from their art. “If I tell potential clients I am an artist, they don’t think I’m a real professional organizer. I used to worry about these things, but not anymore. Now I tell people I am both an artist and an organizer, so live with it.� Jemison Faust’s artwork is on exhibit at the Bromfield Gallery in Boston and at the Danforth Museum. She is working on an exhibition at Meditech in Beverly, Massachusetts, produced by Art Focus, an organization that mounts exhibitions in corporate spaces and also sells artists’ work. You can find out more about her and see some of her images online at www.jemisonfaust.com.

REEL REPORT

Water Clarity Improves Bite, 58lb Bass Boated! By Capt. Tim Flaherty Hello anglers! This past week, summer fishing was outstanding. As the lobster molt continues, the reef and our craggy shores, where lobsters lurk, have been productive for striped bass. The early July northwesterly finally arrived, driving out the fog and humidity by midweek. These winds are a fisherman’s friend because they push the warm water and seaweed out of the bay, improving water clarity, then the fishing. With better visibility, fluke and bass have no trouble finding an angler’s bait on the bottom where these fish often seek prey, like squid, lobsters and sand eels. On the ocean side, this past week, anglers could see 10 feet down into the water, or more. So, now is also the time to snorkel or scuba in our waters and take that dive to visit your favorite wreck. Fluke fishermen had a great week. Pat Heaney of “City by the Sea Charters” slammed jumbo “barndoor” fluke this week. His crew came in with limit catches and full fish boxes each day. One of Capt. Pat’s guests, Mr. Pak, landed what may be the largest fluke of the year on light tackle. It was a whopping 12 lb.-5 oz “doormat.” Capt. Pat, was a former Gulf of Alaska fisherman, has fished RI shores for many years and is one of the best fluke fishermen on our island. You may remember that the Gulf of Alaska is where the “Deadliest Catch” is filmed and this is where Pat earned his sea time. You can also buy his lobsters at the new “Lobster Shack” on State Pier #9 at Long Wharf at off-the-boat prices. Big stripers were taken this week, as predicted. Billy Silvia, a great bass fisherman with several fifty-pounders already on his dance card, has done it again. Billy’s guest, Rob Taylor, hooked and succeeded in landing a 58 lb. behemoth and most likely the biggest of the season, to-date. The girth of a bass this size averages 30 inches and when its mouth is fully opened, it can eas-

Top (L-R) Dave Malook, Jerry Doody and Sean Doody. Kneeling (L-R) James and Kaitland Doody and David Maloof boated stripers and jumbo fluke. ily swallow a fish 7 inches in width! The age of a bass this size is estimated to be well over twenty years. The mathematical probability of an angler landing such a monster is said to be one in a million. Reliable sources in town have reported that Billy loves fishing live eel but, on this occasion, tried yo-yoing pogies. Congratulations Billy and Rob. Our guests this week, Dale Dessoye, Johnny Werner and Adam Deitch caught bass at the reef on 12 lb test line, one of which was nearly 33 lbs. Good work Johnny! Several black sea bass and fluke were also taken. Johnny Werner, formerly of Kay Street, always returns to Newport for fishing vacations. David Maloof and his party of Jerry Doody and Sean and Kaitland Doody, exhausted our crew on July 1. Dave’s family have enjoyed summers on Easton’s Point for many years and he and his son David often fish with us. Dave arrived at the dock at 7:30 on a mission: He had promised fresh bass and fluke for his wife’s birthday celebration, for later that day. Dave, a renowned maritime lawyer, has recently argued a case before the Supreme Court. We started the day fishing

the bottom, near R2A and soon hit a school of jumbo scup. The bite was furious, with scup flying over the rail, keeping our mate Fred busy. Shortly after, the fluke appeared. Several jumbos were taken and a few shorts were returned to the sea. Later, the sea bass and tautog showed up, snatching baits and giving our guests a whale of a time, battling them on ultra-light tackle. Toward the end of the trip, and with no stripers, as yet, in the boat, the bass bite finally began on slack tide. Dave, under great pressure to bring home a striper, suddenly received a powerful, railslamming hit that nearly took the rod from his hands. Line screamed off the spool and the rod trembled. After a long struggle, Dave landed the biggest fish of the day and son David landed the largest fluke. Congratulations to the Maloof lads who later reported a gourmet fish feast was enjoyed by their family and guests. 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.

Page 20 Newport This Week July 7, 2010

Sailing into theFrom SunsetAustin to Boston, It’s a question we first asked on Newport Now, but is it just us, or have we been treated to some exquisite sunsets of late? This photo was caught on Friday from the Newport Yachting Center by Newport This Week and Newport Now friend Caitlin Poplawski. It’s a fitting scene to grace the back page of this week’s edition, and for the record, no colors were altered prior to press time. It’s simply a painted sky. Feel free to email in your own postcard-worthy photos to newportnow@gmail.com, or post them to our Facebook page at Facebook.com/ newportnow!

In a reverse, McLaughlin opts for Second Ward seat By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin, who last month announced that he would seek an At-Large council seat, decided on Wednesday to run again as a ward councilor. The decision came after McLaughlin had already filed paperwork for an At-Large seat on Monday. By Wednesday, with a crowded field shaping up for the council’s four AtLarge seats, he had changed his mind. McLaughlin has lived in Newport since 1983 and purchased his home on Kay Terrace in 1984. He has two children. His son, David, graduated Rogers High School in 1989. David lives in Newport and is a founding member of Clean Ocean Access and a member of the city’s Ad Hoc Wastewater and Stormwater Committee. He graduated Boston College in 1965, taught school in Boston for a year, and served on active duty with the U.S. Navy for three years prior to commencing his civil service career. He retired from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Middletown in 2004. At the time of his retirement, he served as Employee Advocate on the staff of the NUWC Commander and Executive Director.

Coastal Living Regatta blows into town The 2010 Coastal Living Regatta, hosted by Sail Newport, returns to town this weekend, promising three days of what Sail Newport is famous for - great racing and great parties! Over 20 classes of boats are slated to compete over two and three days of racing on Narragansett Bay. The event regularly draws in hundreds of sailors, their friends, and family and provides a healthy shot in the arm for the local economy. For that, we say, “Welcome sailors!”
