Touro Synagogue, at the corner of Spring and Touro streets, will be abuzz this weekend as the 63rd annual reading of George Washington’s letter to the congregation will be held on Sunday, Aug. 22, at 1 p.m. As America’s oldest synagogue, Touro is also recognized as one of our country’s proudest symbols of liberty. A reception will be held in Patriots Park following the reading. The Touro Cemetery will also be open from 12-4 p.m. for the first time in more than ten years in honor of the event.

Taking Newport by Storm Newport’s Coastal Extreme Brewing Co. toasts a new brew, and a new facility By Meg O’Neil NEWPORT – Benjamin Franklin hit the nail

beer and rum manufacturing process with several plaques explaining the entire procedure of how the delectable libations are created from start to finish. The smell and taste of rum brings me back to the nights of one too many rum and cokes during my college days, so I decided to forgo those blurry memories and sample the four Newport Storm brews on tap. All the other visiting alcohol enthusiasts were also testing out and rating the beers that day as well. When you get up to the bar, you are handed a small piece of paper describing the beers, which also serves as a great reminder of which ones you liked and didn’t like as much. On tap that day were the Rhode Island Blueberry Ale, Summer Ale, Hurricane Amber Ale, and an “Experimental” Ale. You may be asking

on the head when he said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” The wonderful people at the Coastal Extreme Brewing Co. are proof that they love the people of Newport and want us to be happy too. Since the first batches of Hurricane Amber Ale hit shelves in 1999, there has been no stopping the power and popularity of Newport Storm beer. Six months ago, the brewery moved from its old location on Oliphant Lane in Middletown to a much larger facility at 293 JT Connell Highway in Newport. To put into perspective just how much things have changed for the brewery, there was only space and time for one tour a week at the old facility. The line would be insanely long See “Newport Storm” on page 14 and the tasting room was cramped and crowded. However, the new building and A glass of Coastal visitor center allows for tours and tastings Exteme’s newest batch, six days a week from noon – 5 p.m. the Ophelia Peachy Ale, is Even though they are still technically poured from a tap topped in their “soft” opening period, with the ofwith the local brewery’s hurricane cap during a ficial grand opening happening this fall, recent tasting at the new the visitor center was packed at noon on Connell Highway facility a Monday with people from all over the (top). country gathered around the high wood- Meanwhile, fresh bottles of en bar ready to sample the four beers on the well-received Thomas tap or the three Thomas Tew rums that Tew Rum stand on the line before being packaged the brewery also produces.

BORN FREE

Commission meets on King Park Pier By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – As far as local waters go, the approach into the stone pier at King Park is one of the more welcoming in Newport Harbor. Removed from the bustle of downtown, far from the often tight quarters of the marina district, the pier juts out off of Wellington Avenue into a relatively open field of seasonal and private moorings. On its north side is a series of floating docks intended for transient dinghy tie ups and tenders to larger boats moored in the harbor. It’s a lifeline of sorts, providing visiting boaters one of the few public tie-ups for their tenders, while moored locals and live-aboards use the pier to come an go. Add in the pier’s proximity to Lower Thames Street, along with available free parking, and the dock’s popularity quickly comes into focus. Oftentimes, the pier is so popular with boaters that dinghies are tied up two, and, even three deep, making it difficult for some to traverse the floating melange. Boaters complain that some of the boats taking up the precious space on the docks, are over the 14 feet which the city uses to define dinghies, or are rarely used – spending more time collecting rainwater than ferrying people around the harbor. For the last several months, the volunteer members of the city’s Waterfront Commission have been batting around ideas to improve the pier, specifically hoping to come up with a solution to increase access and ease the crunch of vessels along the docks. Ideas have ranged from installing a new floating dock system closer to the beach, implementing a sticker program similar to that used to clean up the city’s driftways, and even coming up with a solution for accommodating small craft such as Boston Whalers and skiffs in the range of 14-16 feet. On Thursday, prompted by fears that the pier could be turned into a semi-private marina complex, close to two dozen boaters attended the commission’s August meeting. It was the largest attendance by the public at a commission meeting in months, and comprised the majority of the conversation. Concerns expressed by audience members were varied, but most centered on the idea that the city could begin charging the public for use of the pier, (which was granted with a deed restriction to the city that it be kept for public use) or in some way, restricting access to its facilities. But as Commission members repeatedly stated, far from there being any concrete plans, up until this point, discussions have been preliminary, and plans only concepts. “We haven’t committed to anything,” said acting chair Brian O’Keefe, adding that at some point, the commission will likely make

By John Pantalone NEWPORT – A classical structure that faces what was in colonial days the spring that nourished Newport, the Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr., Visitors Center embodies not just an entrée to the oldest functioning synagogue in the United States but the spirit of a search for neglected history. The new building, which officially opened last August, sits at Spring Street near the bottom of the hill below the 1759 Touro Synagogue. It continues an historic line of buildings that stretch from the Brick Market to Redwood Library, straddling as it were, the synagogue that stands as a testament to religious freedom in Rhode Island and the rest of the nation. With a contribution of nearly $18 million for purchase of the land, construction of the building and installation of a state-of-the-art educational exhibition, John L. Loeb Jr., former U.S. ambassador to Denmark and a descendant of some of the earliest Jewish families in the New World, has given Newport and the synagogue a genuine gift of history. It culminates decades of Loeb’s own research and dedication to telling the neglected story of Jews in America, and it begins an effort to spread that knowledge and a message of religious freedom throughout Rhode Island and beyond. Loeb contacted historians and researched as much as he could, discovering in the process a book of portraits of early American Jews, including members of the Touro family. “I began to feel that I wanted to share this information,” he said. “I wondered how I could get other people interested in what I was interested in.” Working with historians and curators, Loeb mounted exhibitions in New York in the 1970s about the early Jews, most of whom came to the New World from Spain and Portugal to escape the Inquisition. Some made their way to Newport where, word had it, religious freedom was respected. All this history comes together at the Loeb Visitors Center in vivid, high-tech exhibitions. It houses a large touch-screen computer database featuring the portraits that Loeb discovered along with biographical information about 18th and 19th century Jews who succeeded in various parts of the young country. Loeb has made that database available online as well. The Center expands on that by

The computer-generated exhibits feature videotaped vignettes with actors portraying colonial Newport characters including successful merchants and intellectual leaders. The vignettes explain day-today life in colonial Newport, interactions between Jews and others, and the significance of religious

freedom in the colony. Additional exhibits focus on religious freedom and the synagogue itself, from its architecture to its symbolism as a living testament to that freedom. Loeb’s grandfather was a titan of Wall Street, and his family has contributed millions to educational and cultural institutions. “I encountered anti-Semitism in boarding school, and that began my desire to know more,” Loeb recalled. “I wanted to find out how Jews succeeded in America despite this bigotry.

City to Create CSO Stakeholder Task Force By Tom Shevlin NEWPORT – With work expected to begin shortly on repairs to correct the city’s long-standing combined sewer overflow (CSO) problems, the Utilities Department has proposed the formation of a public stakeholders group. The effort, which received initial approval during last week’s City Council meeting, was proposed by Director of Utilities Julia Forgue. Under the proposal, the workgroup would consist of a broad range of stakeholders to ensure that “all interests are covered.” For the last several years, the city has been in the process of implementing a CSO Control Program aimed at reducing the number of system overflows into Newport Harbor. The purpose of the program is to both protect the harbor from the negative impacts of CSOs on the harbor, as well as to

Signage Prompts Council Action NEWPORT – City Council members last week approved a resolution instructing staff to review the city’s compliance with its own sign ordinances. The resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman Kathryn E. Leonard, was directed at the number of signs found along Memorial Boulevard promoting Easton’s Beach. According to Leonard, the signage along the heavily trafficked stretch has proliferated in recent years to the point where it detracts from the city’s historic character. While some signs have been removed, Leonard said that the city should be held to the same standards as businesses who also have a product to promote. The resolution instructs city staff to report on or before Sept. 30 on “how the city will work on creating a plan for complying with its own zoning ordinances.”

bring the city in line with a consent agreement currently being negotiated with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state Department of Environmental Management (DEM). Part of the work will focus attention on the Lower Thames Street area and the city’s Wellington Avenue station, where preparations are being made to replace and repair one of the city’s main sewer interceptor lines. While needed, the repairs are expected to be extensive, and could be disruptive to many downtown business owners. But before the city gets there, as part of the Control Program, the city is evaluating different long-term control options as well as developing a systemwide master plan, or SMP, for the aging network of pipes and treatment processes. According to Forgue, the SMP

will be designed to meet the technical needs of the city per state and federal regulations, while at the same time taking into consideration those of the community as a whole. Made up of representatives from the city, Navy, Save the Bay, Chamber of Commerce, marine industry, the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, RIDEM, EPA, the general public, a small business owner, and a smattering of other local and university or college-level officials, the working group will provide input to the city as it moves forward with the CSO control plan and serve as liaisons to their respective stakeholder organizations. A full list of the stakeholder working group is expected to be compiled in the coming weeks, before being voted on for final approval by members of the City Council.

Touro from previous page tory became my hobby. I wanted to find the Jewish people that I was connected to historically.” Loeb’s efforts include the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom, a non-profit educational organization he founded to create greater attention for the historic importance of religious freedom and separation of church and state in America. A significant portion of the exhibitions at the Visitors Center deal with Washington’s famous letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport in which he uttered the famous words, “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” In that letter, Washington proscribed the philosophy of religious freedom that has been a guiding principle in the country, but one often challenged by extremist views. “I believe it is critically important that everyone, especially school children, understand this principle,” Loeb said. “We are working with the Bill of Rights Institute to create seminars and teacher training pro-

grams centered around the Washington letter and the ideas embodied in it.” For Andrew Teitz, the chairman of the board of the Touro Synagogue Foundation, the Visitors Center provides the context of Touro’s existence. “It enhances understanding of the synagogue and gives depth to the educational experience of touring the synagogue,” he said. “There was a time when every student in Newport public schools went through Touro Synagogue on field trips, but that has not happened in years. Support from the George Washington Institute will allow that to happen again.” The Loeb Visitors Center is open from now through Labor Day, Sunday to Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Touro Synagogue will be available for tours from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tour and center hours will vary after Labor Day, but they will remain open for tours through October.

Dear Howard, This is a great pedestal! Made in 1876, this Aesthetic Movement pedestal is pictured in a catalogue for the American firm of Kimbel and Cabus. Painted and polychromed with red paint and gold leaf decoration. Condition is extremely important with this style of furniture. The gold leaf should be bright and the black painted surface should have a glass like surface. These pedestals were meant to hold a lamp, jardiniére or bronze statue. There is not a major museum in the U.S. that does not have this example of pedestal in their collection. You stated that you paid around $500 for this at auction. Today, it would have a value of between $4,000 and $5,000. You made a great investment! — Federico Santi, Partner, The Drawing Room Antiques

OPINION EDITORIAL Cottage Industries Among Us America doesn’t make things anymore. At least that’s the common belief. It’s true that much of our manufacturing industry has indeed been outsourced – moved overseas to take advantage of cheaper labor and material costs. However, some still remain. Aquidneck Island is proof of that. From local boatbuilders where carbon composite technology is being used to create some of the world’s most advanced watercraft, to the sail lofts and defense contractors scattered around the area, workshops – particularly those in the marine trades – continue their production runs through what has been a rather harsh few years. The island’s manufacturing sector is laudable. However, as persistently high unemployment continues to take its toll, it’s a different group that has begun to emerge that intrigues. Over the last few years, a growing number of Newporters have taken to once again making things. From hand-crafted jewelry, to furniture and food, small and home-based businesses have begun popping up across the island. Some can be found solely online on sites like Etsy, which boasts thousands of crafters and designers selling their hand-crafted wares from around the world on a central marketplace. Others are gaining traction with their goods on display in area boutiques. Each has a story behind them. We’re interested in sharing those stories. If you’re in the business – home-based or otherwise – of making things, we’d like to know.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR One Group’s Reasons for Supporting David Segal for Congress The upcoming Congressional election to replace Patrick Kennedy will have a tremendous impact on our future. Many important issues confront Rhode Islanders today, and we need a strong voice to represent us in Congress. We believe that David Segal should be that voice as the next Representative of Rhode Island’s First District. David Segal has a history of being accountable to voters, not corporations. He has just finished his second term representing Providence and East Providence in the RI General Assembly, and before that served four years as a Providence City Councilman. He has earned our support because of his longterm commitment to enacting real change for our working families. At the end of every legislative session he does not talk about why things are delayed yet another year; instead he fights until the last moment to deliver for every Rhode Islander. As a state legislator, David Segal demanded that our tax dollars, when being spent on public projects, be used to provide jobs with living wages and benefits to support our families. He has fought to ensure affordable housing, and cracked down on predatory lend-

ing in order to help Rhode Islanders stay in their homes. Earlier this year, when the Westin Hotel workers had their wages slashed by 20% and their healthcare co-pays tripled, David Segal spearheaded the petition drive to demand that management negotiate fairly with their workers. He stood shoulder to shoulder with workers and delivered stacks of signed petitions to management. After the Governor decided to cut from the state budget $25 million designed to support working families and municipal services, Segal organized his fellow legislators to block that budget until the critical funding was restored. He has stood up to special interests and corporate power with his work to promote campaign finance reform. Not a single corporate dollar will be accepted by his campaign, and he has called upon his opponents to make the same pledge. David Segal is the only true progressive in this race. Look at every issue: renewable energy, green jobs, women’s rights, gay rights, protecting our troops, and having a foreign policy that is based on the needs of regular people, not corporate power. David Segal is the voice that Rhode Islanders need in Wash-

ington. In the Democratic Primary on September 14th, cast your vote for David Segal. To learn more, go to www.votesegal.com. Please join us in our campaign to bring real change to Rhode Island. Sincerely, The Newport County Committee for David Segal Leslie Miller, Sol Rodgriguez, John Miles, Sulaymaan Miles, David Robbins, Ryan Conlon, Barbara Roberts, Brooke Roberts, Adam Roberts, Evan Gallo, Fred Caswell, Nancy Caswell, Nicole Baldassari, Sally Hanchett

some sort of suggestion to the City Council. But what that suggestion is – whether it’s a simple sticker program or a more ambitious construction project, remains to be seen. John Heon was a member of the Waterfront Commission until last month. Heon, who lives aboard his 1913 wooden boat, Farallone (formerly U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps vessel Q9), uses the pier as a main point of transportation to and from his boat, and is among its most frequent users. One of the concepts that concerned him as a commission member as well as a live-aboard boater, called for the installation of 14 slips for small craft along with a security gate. He posted a notice on the pilings at the stone pier to alert boaters of the commission’s ongoing discussions, and was among the more vocal in attendance last week. According to Heon, use of the pier peaked in 2004, and has been “in steady decline” ever since. At one point, over Fourth of July weekend in 2004, he said that he was lucky to have had a bowline long enough to accommodate the space between him and the dock caused by the mass of boats. Nowadays, however, Heon questions the need for new dockage and advocated that the Commission work to ensure the maximum public access to the pier rather than focus on moneymaking ideas for the city. Others in attendance agreed. As the discussion progressed, it became clear to commissioners that confusion remained. Some said that they were concerned with possibly charging boaters a fee for use of the docks. But the commission hadn’t been considering that. In fact, several commissioners made the point that the goal of the plan was just the opposite. Any plan, O’Keefe stressed, would use the Harbor Fund – one of the city’s five enterprise funds – to pay for the improvements. And the sticker program could be integrated to coincide with the city’s mooring list at no charge to current holders. As part of their charge, Commissioners had identified King Park last year area as one of several under-served areas in the harbor, and set out to come up with remedies to improve the facility. Discussion originally began as a conversation over the derelict or under-used boats that perennially turn up at the dock each spring. From there, several concept drawings were presented and discussed, however no formal action was ever taken. A review of the Commis-

Dinghies, a canoe, and small craft like this one seen above with a center console and 50 hp engine clutter the Stone Pier at King Park on a recent weeday morning. The floating dock system may have reached its maximum capacity, say some members of the city’s boating community. Discussion among Waterfront Commission members has sought to address those concerns. (Photos by Tom Shevlin) sion’s minutes reveal only tertiary over the course of their upcoming conversations, and the discussion meetings. is likely to continue well beyond the current boating season. The solution could be as simple as a revision to the city’s ordinance governing the use of the pier paired with a resident sticker program. One suggestion involved NEWPORT – Competition in the the city potentially creating two International C-Class Catamaran separate areas along the pier: one Championship is set to begin here for local boaters who would be on Sunday, Aug. 22 from the New granted a sticker, and another for York Yacht Club’s Harbour Court. transient boaters on rented moorFeaturing seven of the world’s ings, or in the city’s nearby anchorfastest boats, the “Little America’s age area.

Summer Social Season Still in Full Swing Created by the organization’s new education and event coordinator, Emily Jenkins. The hunt had children scurrying to find four-of-akind along the “Trail of Cards”, paint white roses red, pick up a memento from the caterpillar before he morphed into a butterfly and count the Cheshire Cat’s teeth. They even bumped into a few characters along the way -- Matthew Condon, as the Mad Hatter, challenged event goers like Stone & Keegan Bidlack and their aunt Paddy Oakley to add up the price tags on his hats so that they might get their next clue. Maria Dougherty sported an oversized, self created mad hat while she handed out bags of letters for Erin Brophy, Bryn Mulligan, Hope Benson and her brother, Henry, to unscramble. Maggie Gomes and Bronwyn Barta as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum laid down a challenge of blowing four sets of double bubbles and cited the Warren brothers as the winners of the dare. The big winners though were Ava and Lexi Coristine

and the Hellendrung sisters who finished the scavenger hunt first with all of their clues in tact. Both of the teams were delighted to receive oversized cupcake cakes made by Katrina’s Bakery as their prize as the crowd sang “happy unbirthday to you” to them. Prior to and after the scavenger hunt event goers sat at the Mad Hatter’s long table and noshed on sandwiches made by Pour Judgement, devoured cupcakes, brownies and cookies by Katrina’s Bakery, popped mini cupcakes by Karen Leonard washed everything down with assorted flavored iced teas. A very tiny Alice, Avery Ward, and her grandmother Debbi Winthrop, dressed to the nines as a Mad Hatter, enjoyed a walk through the meadow with Carol Ballard, who donated the thirteen acre parcel to the City of Newport twenty years ago. A taller Alice, Hillary Carr, joined her friends, Eilish Finnernan as the Cheshire Cat and Chelsea Cook as the Queen of Hearts to play a few rounds of cro-

quet with tots like Gunner Bennett and Jack Tatirosian. After checking in guests, committee member Annie Tatirosian had fun making a mad hat with her daughter Grace. Lauren Sullivan and friends Maddie Walker and Emily Hook (aka “Hookie”) stayed at the hat station for quite a while helping little ones like Maggie and Ellie Coen create their own masterpieces. Weller Littlefield’s fur-trimmed, heart-adorned creation was something to behold. The pompom he added to his nose was a clever addition. Creativity obviously runs in the family. His mom, Kristen Dupuis, donated fabrics and arts and craft materials for the party. Two attendees who didn’t need any further embellishments were Siobahn Donovan and Kiki Finn. The pair wore complementing outfits of striped stocks, outrageous hats, goofy sunglasses and colorful boas. It took several people a few moments to recognize them when they entered the fete.

Following a sellout Newport premiere on Saturday, Aug. 14, Behind the Hedgerow: Eileen Slocum and the Meaning of Newport Society heads to the Jane Pickens Theater this Friday, Aug. 20, for the start of a nine-day run. Behind the Hedgerow was originally slated for four days at Jane Pickens, but the run was extended in light of the full house at the Aug. 10 world premiere at Providence’s Veterans Memorial Auditorium and Saturday’s sellout screening at Salve Regina University. Dozens of people were turned away on Saturday. The premieres were held in partnership with the 2010 Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival. The Pickens run begins with a showing at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 20. and continues with showings until Aug.29. Filmmakers David Bettencourt and G. Wayne Miller will introduce the film and take questions at the 2:30 p.m. Aug. 22 showing. Part history, part contemporary look, Behind the Hedgerow is told through the focus of Eileen Gillespie Slocum, Newport’s last grand dame, who died in the summer of 2008. Slocum’s family granted the filmmakers exclusive access to her archives and private Bellevue Avenue estate, where much of the film was shot. Behind the Hedgerow is the second title from Eagle Peak Media, the production company founded in 2008 by Miller and Bettencourt.

Yolanda Gabrielle, G. Wayne Miller, director of the movie, Colleen Richards Powell, her husband Adam Powell IV, and Adam’s mother, Beryl Slocum Powell, who also appeared in the movie.

Upcoming Galas For anyone who thought they missed out on Newport’s social season there are still more fundraisers dotting the calendar you can attend, This weekend there are a duo of events: The Bird Ball, Saturday night, is a benefit for the Norman Bird Sanctuary; on Sunday proceeds from “Rock the Docks” at Fort Adams will support the Seamen’s Church Institute programs. A fall favorite is held at Rough Point, the Historic Preservation Awards to be presented on Sept. 10.

Gene Quinn and his wife, Margy Slocum Quinn, who was is in the movie, at the High Tea Reception they hosted at their Slocum estate on Bellevue Avenue.

By Portia Little â&#x20AC;&#x192; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the usual end-of-summer dilemma: The time of year when those garden zucchini, green beans, and tomatoes are bursting forth in droves. â&#x20AC;&#x192; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given them to friends, relatives, and folks you meet on the street. People avoid you when they see you coming with bags of fresh produce. â&#x20AC;&#x192; Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to make the most of extra freezer space. Just wash, cut up, and blanche your veggies for a few minutes (follow the guidelines of a good basic cookbook such as Joy of Cooking as to how much time), then pack in freezer bags to use in the coming months. The firmer vegetables are good candidates for freezing, rather than the soft, mushy types, such as tomatoes, which will lose their texture when frozen. â&#x20AC;&#x192; And of course, be sure to enjoy the fresh produce as is. Garlic-flavored tomato bruschetta can be partially prepped ahead of time. And zucchini pancakes whip up quickly using a packaged baking mix; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a nice change from the potato version. â&#x20AC;&#x192; Just a few bush bean plants in your garden can produce more than enough green beans for most of the summer. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great, just steamed until slightly crunchyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcook them. We like them tossed with a little butter, or seasoned with some garlic salt or your favorite seasoned salt. Or, sprinkle them with a little grated lemon rind for a refreshing flavor. With just a bit more effort you can create a tangy sauce with sautĂŠed chopped shallotsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;add a splash of red wine vinegar to finish them off.

yourself, “What exactly is an ‘Experimental’ ale?” In this case, the ale in question here is simply the Summer Ale that the beer masterminds at Coastal Extreme decided to let age in an emptied Thomas Tew rum barrel. A very unique smell and taste, and slightly higher alcohol content, this “experiment gone right” allows the taster to see just how creative these guys can get. Visiting the Newport Storm Brewery is a must-see and mustdo for anyone who appreciates good beer and rum. Bring guests from out of town, go with friends, or what the heck, just go by yourself like I did. You will not be disappointed. The extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, and high quality beer and rum make the visit to the eye of the Storm one to remember.

Careers begin at CCRI. Discover yours.

To Go: When: Daily from noon – 5 p.m. Closed Tuesdays, self-guided tours all day, guided tour at 3 p.m. Where: 293 JT Connell Rd., Middletown How Much: $7 for a tour and beer tasting, $9 for a tour and rum tasting. The cost of the tasting includes a souvenir tasting glass.

Our Top 5 Places to Watch a Newport Sunset By Meg O’Neil Summer is almost over here in Newport. Dry your eyes. There is still plenty of good weather and sunshine to be had and what better way to enjoy these beautiful summer evenings than sipping a cocktail, or curling up next to a loved one while watching the sun dip below the horizon, bidding Newport adieu until the morning. The Lawn at Castle Hill – See how the other half vacation. The lawn at Castle Hill is the quintessential Newport experience. Peppered with white Adirondack chairs, the sunset view from here is like nowhere else. Sure, the drinks are on the pricey side, and you have to be dressed up, but that’s part of the fun! Rejects Beach – Taking a bike or scooter down to the “Reject” end of the ultra-exclusive Bailey’s Beach right before sunset is a beautiful experience. The water is warmest at the end of the day, so go float amongst the picturesque landscape and you’ll feel as though you are in paradise. Brenton Point – Probably the most well-known place in Newport to go see the sunset. The 10-mile trip around Ocean Drive is perfect at any time of day, but there is something special about parking the car and climbing down to the edge of the water and taking in the sight of the sun, quickly disappearing into the West.

NATURE

The Real Wonder of It All By Jack Kelly

Why choose Laurelmead? Ask Ruth and Jeff Freymann. Ruth: “I visited a number of communities, but none of them had the combination of things we fell in love with at Laurelmead. The biggest factor for me was the swimming pool because I’ve done water aerobics for years and it was an important health measure. The whole fitness center is a big plus.” Jeff: “One of our goals was to be in a pleasant neighborhood in a city, not out in the suburbs where you have to drive a half hour to get anywhere. Here I can walk to the pharmacy and the doctor’s office in fifteen minutes, and I like the exercise. There’s an abundance of activities too. We never thought we’d be this busy!” 355 Blackstone Boulevard, Providence, Rhode Island 029066

In the past tree short years, I have been introduced to some of the wonders of Nature. I have been blessed by the tutelage, friendship and support of many well-informed people. I have learned a great deal about the natural world and the environment that surrounds us. However, I still have much to learn and see. Every day brings new sights, sounds and adventures. I have witnessed remarkable displays of natural beauty, and the inherent dangers at hand for all creation. Recently, I was speaking with a group of young people, who asked why I was so involved with nature. My answer was simple. I opened my eyes one day, and saw things I’d never seen before. I had a moment of clarity that allowed me to see the world around me from a new perspective. It was at that moment, that I saw my place in nature, and realized that I had been missing some of the extraordinary gifts that exist all around us. As I began my exploration of this new world, I was astonished at the sights I observed. I began to establish a photographic journal, capturing as many birds and animals as possible on film. Along the way, I met men and women who, like me, had their own experiences with the natural world. They became guides and mentors who helped facilitate the growth and expansion of my own knowledge. Two years ago, I stood at Brenton Point State Park, among tens of thousands of migrating Monarch Butterflies. It was a warm, cloudless afternoon and the butterflies enhanced the already perfect day by the sea. They had put down to rest and eat on their long journey to Mexico. The covered every bush, shrub and tree in the vicinity. After about two hours, they took off, filling the air. Their brightly colored

A Red-tailed Hawk seen at Sachuest Wildlife Refuge (Photo by Jack Kelly) orange wings were a sharp contrast against the clear blue sky. This was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen and it is burned into my memory. In early September 2009, I was witness to the staging and migration of thousands of Swallows. I stood at the east end of the parking lot of Second Beach, while thousands of Barn, Bank, Rough Winged, and Tree swallows flew over my head and all around me. With the exception of the sounds of their wings, there weren’t any other sounds. Then, they moved toward the marsh and beach plants. The whole experience lasted less than a minute, but it will stay with me for the rest of my life. Oh yes, for the curious, not one bird committed any antisocial acts to myself or my clothing, amazing! I have watched adult birds and other animals feed, nurture and protect their young, in a manner similar to that of human beings. I have observed the mating styles of many animals and birds, and again, they’re a lot like us. Clumsy, inept, and territorial, but they get the job done. I have gained the trust of some of the wildlife, and they have allowed me to get close to them for photographs. One such bird is a female juvenile Red-tailed Hawk that took up residence at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge in October

of 2009. Myself and other wildlife enthusiasts have watched her mature over the past ten months. In early July of this year, I pulled into the Third Beach parking lot and I saw her perched on the guardrail at the eastern side of the lot. I drove to within fifteen feet of her, hoping to take some shots before she flushed. She stayed put while I photographed her. I decided to be bold and try to get closer. My radio was on and a commercial was playing. As I slowly slid out of the car, the song “Red, Red Wine” by the band UB40 began to play. It’s a catchy song with a reggae beat. As I slowly approached my quarry, I was stunned to see her begin to dance! Her body swayed left and right, and her head moved up and down to the beat of the music. I snapped away as she danced. Caught up in the moment, I too began to dance. There we were, hawk and human, dancing under the early evening sky. When the song ended, she flew away. These are just a few of the sights and experiences that await you, just outside your front door. So, come join us, you never know what you might see. One experience can potentially change your life. What have you got to lose? Fall migration is underway and the swallows have begun to stage in the Second Beach area. You can see them for yourself. Locally, you can observe nature at the following wonderful places: Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, Norman Bird Sanctuary, Ballard Park/Gooseneck Cove Salt Marshes on Hazard Road, and Miantinomi Park.

REEL REPORT

Better Late Than Never, Big Bluefish Arrive!

g WYATT

SQUARE h

575 EAST MAIN ROAD, MIDDLETOWN, RI

By Captain Tim Flaherty The new moon delivered again, producing strong tides and great fishing this past week. Striped Bass can still be taken in shallow water as the inshore water temperature on the ocean side remains at 68 degrees. Block Island’s S.W. ledge has produced some big bass this past week, too. Anglers, using live eels, slammed fish over thirty pounds. The reefs off Brenton Point, Beavertail and those over Coggeshall Ledge and Seal Ledge are still producing bass to twenty pounds. There are also some decently-sized fish at the Pell Bridge and Gull Rocks. There is good news to report: Ledge monster bluefish have finally arrived. This is their latest summer appearance that we’ve ever recorded. The schools are well dispersed, but have taken up, both out in front and at the mouth of the bay. Some surface action was also reported off Clingstone and The Dumplings. The fish we have taken were very slim and their stomachs were empty, perhaps indicating their recent arrival after their long migration to our waters. Several ledge monsters we took this week showed signs of stress: One of these jumbo blues had the remains of a gill net around its head. It seemed this net had been there for years, as the fish’s body had actually grown around the net. This blue most likely succeeded in breaking free by chewing its way out of the net. Gill nets set close to shore are typically anchored to the bottom of the sea and floated toward the surface by buoys. Ocean gill nets, on the other hand, are set to drift. Fish and other types of wildlife run into these nets, tangling in the meshed webbing. Efforts to ban gill netting have increased, recently, as more scientists believe they are responsible for the decline in sea turtle populations and other endangered marine life. California, Oregon, Alabama and the Virgin Islands have effectively banned gill netting and North Carolina may soon follow. Fluke fishing continues to be slow, but some keeper-fluke were taken near Agassiz’s and Bailey’s beaches this week. Other fishermen reported that fluke were caught in the deeper water north of the Pell Bridge and at the mouth of Narragansett Bay, near Butter-

NUNES Tim, Chris and Parker Young, all of Darien, CT, did, indeed, catch the stripers they were hoping would be the highlight their Newport vacation on August 14th. ball Reef. We took several large fluke this week while drift fishing at the Fountain and south of the R2 buoy. We are still waiting for the onset of the fall fluke run which begins each year from late August through early September. Black sea bass and scup fishing have raged all week. Jumbo scup have begun to move out to deeper water but large schools remain in the shallows. Black sea bass fishing has also been good, the result of strong tides and favorable light breezes: ideal conditions to catch these tasty little devils. We took a few blueheads this week but many more large females were taken drifting stripped baits over rocky areas on the ocean side. Black sea bass are an interesting slow-growing species that feasts on young or molted lobsters. They are all born female, but after seven years, or so, they slowly begin to transform into males. As males mature their heads grow larger and a hump develops on the top of their heads. The scales around the head turn an aqua-blue color and white streamers form on the spines of their fins. The nickname “blueheads” refers to these large male sea bass. They are seldom found in our local fish markets and those that are caught here are shipped to Boston and New York, where a gourmet, sea bass dinner can bring up to sixty dollars a plate for just one of this tasty species. On Saturday the fourteenth, we fished with the Young family

of Darien, Connecticut. Each year they return to vacation in Newport and do a little fishing with us. Chris, Tim and Parker Young were clearly excited that morning with the forecast for nearly perfect sea conditions and clear skies. Instead of fishing the wrecks, as we usually do this time of year, we decided to stop at one of our favorite reefs. We set the anchor quickly and set up the rods for action. I tossed out the first baited hook and passed the rod to Chris. As I turned to rig another, I heard, “fish on.” Chris had already hooked into one! After a ten minute struggle, a striped bass appeared from the depths to the side of our boat, causing great excitement among the rest of the crew. Parker’s line was next to hit the water with a similar result. It wasn’t long before Tim joined in the fun, landing a nice striper of his own. This was pretty much the way the entire morning was spent and these lads really had us scurrying around the boat. Bass kept flying over the rails and after nearly four hours of action, we weighed anchor with the fish box nearly full of black sea bass, fluke, jumbo scup and stripers. We released more than ten other under-the-limit stripers that day, as well. A good trip, with a great crew! 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.
