New Touro Rabbi to Celebrate History at Chanukah By Meg O’Neil This December will mark the first Chanukah celebration for Touro Synagogue’s new spiritual leader, Rabbi Dr. Marc Mandel. He and his family moved to Newport in June after spending the last 16 years in Los Angeles, California. On Sunday, Dec. 9, Mandel, his family, and the members of Congregation Jeshuat Israel at Touro Synagogue will welcome all families to participate in a candlelighting ceremony commemorating the second night of Chanukah at the Levi Gale House, 85 Touro St. from 5 – 7 p.m. For those unfamiliar with Jewish custom, Chanukah is an eightday and eight-night holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt. Mandel explains: “Chanukah celebrates the miracles of the victory of the Maccabees, and how they were able to continue the Jewish spirit in a time when the Hellenistic influences were very great in trying to stamp out other faiths including the Jewish faith and practices, which [the Greeks] did not hold in high regard. The Maccabees were victorious and returned to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and located the menorah and found that the oil, which was supposed to last only one night, lasted for several days. It was a great miracle.” The menorah is a ninebranched candelabrum. Accord-

ing to custom, one branch is lit each night during the eight nights of Chanukah. The ninth branch is an auxiliary candle, used to light the other candles. Candles used in a menorah are typically blue or

white – the colors of the flag of Israel. Some menorahs do not use candles, but instead use small olive oil lamps. For Mandel and his congregation, the celebration of Chanukah

is of special significance at Touro Synagogue, which is the oldest synagogue in the United States. “This congregation was dedicated during Chanukah, so it’s a very special time of year,” he said. So significant was the opening night of Touro Synagogue in 1763 that the evening’s affair was documented in great detail by Ezra Stiles, a Congregationalist minister in Newport, who was a friend of the Jewish community, and who would later go on to become President of Yale University. Before the opening service, the Touro congregation invited community members of all faiths to join in their celebration. Of the service, Stiles wrote the following: “December 2, 1763, Friday. In the afternoon was the dedication of the new Synagogue in this town. There were present many Gentleman and Ladies. The order and decorum, the Harmony & Solemnity of the Musick, together with a handsome Assembly of People, in an Edifice the most perfect of the temple kind perhaps in America, and splendidly illuminated, could not but raise in the Mind a faint Idea of the Majesty and Grandeur of the Ancient Jewish Worship mentioned in Scripture … Dr. Isaac de Abraham Touro performed the service … There may be 80 souls of Jews or 15 families now in town.” Today, the Touro congregation

Changes are once again in store at Newport's historic Lower Thames Street Armory. City Manager Jane Howington and Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation Executive Director David McCurdy announced in a joint letter that RILF will be stepping aside as property manager effective some time in January. The building, whose lower level has undergone a significant transformation over the last year, with the completion of the Newport Maritime Center and upgraded utilities, has retained its use as an antiques center on the first floor. Some people don't see the antiques center as the building's highest and best use. Over the past 10 years, the condition of the Armory has been an issue of concern. As the last remaining city-owned property on

Welcome Center at Issue By Tom Shevlin

Members of the Bellevue Ochre Point Neighborhood Association continue to express concern over plans to construct a permanent visitors' center on the grounds of The Breakers. In a letter sent to the Preservation Society of Newport County, BOPNA board members wrote of a growing concern over the appropriateness of the proposed building and its potential to affect one of Newport's most historic neighborhoods. "BOPNA is very concerned that the size of the new building under current consideration will necessarily require intrusion into what is now open space in The Breakers' historic landscape design, thus changing the intended viewscapes from both within and outside the property," wrote James Moore, president and co-chair of the Bellevue Ochre Point Neighborhood Association. However, Preservation Society Executive Director Trudy Coxe responded by saying that while the neighborhood's concerns are understandable, it's still too early to have a meaningful conversation about aesthetics until a final design is prepared.

Tolls Likely on Sakonnet River Bridge By Meg O’Neil Board members from the Discover Newport Visitors Bureau met with Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority Chairman David Darlington on Tuesday, Nov. 20 to discuss the proposed tolls on the new Sakonnet River Bridge. The prospect of a toll on the new span has been a hot-button issue with the public over the last several months – especially those who live close to the bridge in Portsmouth, Tiverton and Little Compton. However, according to Darlington, despite public petitions against tolling and public statements in opposition from the Newport Chamber of Commerce claiming it would hurt local the local economy, new tolls are likely to be installed. Currently, the Rhode Island Turnpike & Bridge Authority has responsibility for the Newport Pell Bridge and the Mount Hope Bridge. When the state General Assembly approved the budget in June, it included the transfer of both the Sakonnet River Bridge and the Jamestown Bridge from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation to the Turnpike & Bridge Authority. According to Darlington, due to covenants with bond holders, the Bridge Authority cannot take an asset from the state if it does not have a dedicated revenue stream. “We have very little leeway as to where our revenue comes from,” Darlington told the board. “For us, it’s a toll. That’s our purpose, and it’s how we get revenues.” While state legislators and elected officials have offered alternative ways to generate additional revenue to avoid installing tolls, Darlington noted that the Bridge Authority does not have the ability to make those decisions. “We are a functionary in the process,” he told the Discover Newport board. “The state says to us, ‘You have these two assets, maintain them.’ We do that very well, and we’re determined to do it. Whatever the consequences are, we will maintain those structures.” The Newport Pell Bridge accounts for roughly 10 million transits a year. Darlington said that although the Pell Bridge is perceived as the main artery into Newport, the bridge is actually considered to be a “commuter structure” with 82

percent of the traffic going over the bridge being commuters on their way to and from work. The Mount Hope Bridge carries about 6 million vehicles a year. By comparison, alhough it’s the shortest of the four bridges leading to Aquidneck Island, the Sakonnet River Bridge carries the most vehicles a year, totaling about 15 million. “What is proposed here is a four bridge system, paid for with tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge and Newport Pell Bridge,” Darlington told the board. “The money collected would help the four bridges. The proposal is not to have a toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge to help pay for the Sakonnet River Bridge. The toll is to have the four assets be able to collect money from two assets.” Before the Department of Transportation can completely transfer the two bridges to the Turnpike & Bridge Authority, the Federal Highway Administration requires that a modified environmental impact statement be completed that analyzes the effects the tolls may have on businesses, residences, side roads, and more. Darlington said that hearings on the impact statement will take place in Portsmouth and Tiverton on Dec. 3 and 4. During those hearings, Darlington said that public input would be taken into account. Once that process is completed, Darlington said the transfer of the two bridges would take place in January or February 2013. If it is determined that tolls are to be added on the Sakonnet River Bridge, they would likely be operational by June 2013. Because there is no room for toll booths, an arbor system will be installed above the bridge, creating what Darlington called a “video toll” that will read and deduct toll amounts from EZPass transponders, and read the license plates of vehicles that do not have an E-ZPass. For drivers who do not have an E-ZPass, Darlington said the penalty toll would be far less costly than it is for violators who do not pay the toll at the Pell Bridge. “The Sakonnet River Bridge toll system is an entirely different structure, because there isn’t a choice for drivers,” he said. There will likely be

a dollar added to the toll amount and sent to the driver’s registered address with a note explaining why they should get an E-ZPass, he said. Discover Newport President & CEO Evan Smith asked Darlington whether tolls might be added to the Mount Hope Brigde in the event that they are not added to the Sakonnet River Bridge. Darlington said yes, adding that if the Sakonnet River Bridge did not get tolled, it’s likely that there would be not only a one-dollar increase to the Newport Pell Bridge toll, but also a toll added to the Mount Hope Bridge. “If the Sakonnet River Bridge comes online and gets tolled, it takes pressure off of a Pell Bridge increase for some time,” Darlington said. A member of Discover Newport from Bristol asked Darlington if the environmental impact statement would look at the economic affect a Sakonnet River Bridge toll would have on a local municipality. Darlington said that part of the modified environmental impact statement is to examine economics. “The study of the economics is a macro study,” he explained. “It does not ask how does the toll affect Bristol in particular, but how does it affect the region. If you’re a small businessman, it won’t address the particular issues of Bristol Harbor, but it’s more of a regional look at it. My sense is it will not look as closely as business people may like it to.” A woman representing Discover Newport – Tiverton asked if tolling would take into account drivers who are on government-assisted programs, who may not be able to afford a toll. “I think it’s possible and something that can be looked into,” Darlington said. He then went on to explain that the Turnpike & Bridge Authority offers multiple E-ZPass options and that the organization would continue to examine new payment options to accommodate drivers. When asked if he knew how much the toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge would cost drivers, Darlington said, “I don’t have numbers right now. The answer is, ‘it depends.’ There’s a lot of preliminary numbers right now, and to discuss them here would be inappropriate.”

City and Union Close to Deal By Tom Shevlin City Council members appear poised to approve next month a contract with the union that represents the bulk of its service and maintenance workers. According to city personnel, a tentative deal was reached earlier this month with members of Council 94, the local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME. The union, which represents roughly 130 city workers including custodial staff, water plant operators, and other various jobs,

had been without a contract for the last three years. Union members met to vote on the contract during a Nov. 13 meeting, and are expected to hold a second vote on an amended proposal within the next two weeks. Last week, city councilors met in executive session to discuss the deal for themselves, and a formal vote is expected to be held during the council's regular meeting on Dec. 12. The five-year deal would be retroactive to 2009. According to several parties fa-

miliar with the discussions, the contract would mimic closely an agreement reached with the city's other unions, and include a series of defined pay increases over the next two years, while increasing the average amount contributed by union members toward healthcare to 15 percent. Further details on the new contract are expected to become available in advance of the council's vote. Once approved, the city will have contracts in place with all of its unions.

EDITORIAL Home for the Holidays

f Black Friday wasn't enough of a wake-up call, then this week's threat of snow and blustery north wind should be: Newport's "off-season" is upon us. As tempting as it may be to rush to the Big Box stores, let's not forget our small businesses. This year, as we have in the past, we're highlighting some of our favorite finds from some of our favorite stores. Though the summer months are generally good to our island, the winter can be harsh – particularly for those whose shops line our historic streets. In most of these shops, you might not be able to take advantage of "Cyber Week" sales, or double up on coupons, but you will find some surprisingly good deals. We hear much about the importance of shopping locally, but it needn't be a civic duty to frequent our small businesses. In fact, it might just save you money! As we approach Christmas and Chanukah, let's all resolve to do our part and keep things local. Speaking of local businesses, it's encouraging to see the number of storefronts still occupied into the off-season. Normally at this time of year, we're lamenting the "Store Closing" signs that begin to pop up around town – especially on Lower Thames Street. This year, some reshuffling is expected before Spring, but there seem to be more businesses hanging their shingles up than those taking them down. From Franklin and Spring Street, where a mix of galleries and retailers have popped up in recent months, to Lower Thames Street and Broadway, where new restaurants seem to be en vogue, small business owners are living up to their reputation as our economic backbone. Whomever the city brings on as its new Economic Development Director, he or she would do well to reach out to our existing small businesses; listen to their concerns and compliments; and then ask themselves: What can the city do to help build our local economy and foster our entrepreneurial spirit?

ARMORY CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Newport Harbor, the former militia headquarters has long been viewed as ripe for development. In the past, the city has entertained ideas ranging from creating a Faneuil Hall-style marketplace to hosting a pirate museum. Still, the antiques center has prevailed. And after it was revealed that the former antiques manager had failed to pay the city rent, the building's oldest tenant took over. "For over three years, the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation has been managing the antiques business in the Armory building on Thames Street," Howington and McCurdy wrote in a letter to the antiques center employees and vendors. "As the City works toward defining long term future uses for this building, the time has come for RILF to cede management of this operation to a new entity." Promising a "smooth transition" through the process, Howington said that while there are no firm plans for the antiques center at this point, she does hope to incorporate the Armory into a broader discussion about the area in a planned Lower Thames Street design charette. The news is the latest in a series of episodes over the last few years concerning the ultimate fate of the landmark building, and comes less

than six months after RILF declined an offer from the city to operate the Lower Thames Street facility until the city was able to develop a longterm plan for the space. As we reported in July, RILF had initially indicated that it would have accepted a 15-month agreement with monthly rent set at $5,000 per month for the summer and $3,000 for the months of November through April, but the council ultimately chose to reduce the term by six months, and require uniform lease payments of $5,000 per month. Citing the challenge of operating through the winter, RILF opted to decline the offer, instead opting for a month-to-month lease to ensure the Armory remained open through the holiday season. Now, it appears RILF's involvement with the antiques business is indeed coming to an end. Howington said that she expects to put out a Request for Proposals by the end of the week to potential contractors who would be responsible for maintaining the building, while the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation is expected to remain in its second-story office space. At the Armory on Wednesday, vendors were busy readying for the holiday gift-giving season, which no matter what happens, is shaping up to be one to remember.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Public input Sought on Wind Ordinance To the Editor: On Dec. 5, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, there will be a workshop presenting the proposed Newport Wind Ordinance for community comment. This is the public’s opportunity to learn about and comment on the zoning regulations proposed to guide construction of wind energy systems. I am a member of Newport’s Energy & Environment Commission. It is our mission to advise the City Council and educate the public on energy efficiency and renewable energy, so it is our duty to gather public input to this ordinance that was created by the Planning Board, chaired by James Dring and staffed by Andrew DeIonno during this past year.

It’s the Marketing, Stupid! To the Editor: Like many Newporters, I have been following the search for a management firm to oversee the Thames Street Armory. The most recent reports have me somewhat concerned about a particular lack of emphasis on an area I have some expertise in. I have been selling timeshare in Newport since early 2001. I am responsible for 1,000 families visiting Newport every year. The Newport tourist is near and dear to me since tourists pay my bills. That enables me, via maintenance fees, to contribute close to $10,000 in Newport property tax revenue annually. The timeshare owner is of the highest value among tourists. They spend more on meals than the day trip visitor and impact the community less than the young person on the rent and drink carousel. The Armory has a tourist mission. One portion of that mission is providing the public restrooms that are furthest south in the restaurant zone. My concern is that as an antiques marketplace, the building has never performed to its potential, but this is due to marketing as opposed to “management.” However, the city seems to desire to hire a management company that knows how to rent spaces but knows nothing regarding selling goods in the marketplace. This would be a big mistake. Ideally, an antiques marketplace would be on Spring or Long Wharf or even Franklin where the other

antique stores are. Ideally, it would be a destination on Broadway to bring more tourists to the places Newporters own. Ideally, it would not be set in a traffic bottleneck south of Memorial. But because it is where it is, a major marketing effort is needed. Otherwise, as the saying goes, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten. In this case, it means you will get frustrated tenants in a building not performing to its full potential. One of two choices must be made: a.) Solve the liquor license conundrum by changing the law and/or making partners out of the folks attending St. Spyridon and/ or working with the state on a special “overlay” or b.) Commit to the marketing necessary to make the building a success. I am willing to bet that if I sit on the interviews/negotiations between our city and the “management company,” I will hear a heck of a lot about keeping the building “occupied” and very little about helping the renters in said building flourish. For instance, have any of the marketing companies who wish to be considered indicated they have a relationship with Wyndham? I would venture to say no. That means a synergistic marketing approach that would target some some 2,000 Newport families in the summertime alone is being missed. Robert T. Oliveira Newport

moment, we experienced gasoline shortages and limited use of our televisions, computers, refrigerators and the ability to charge our cell phones. As a community, we need to employ clean energy sources to help support our lifestyle. It is important to consider the effects of modern structures on our historic vistas, but we still have to adapt to the needs of tomorrow. If the planners of the Newport Bridge were asked if a bridge would be seen from historic Fort Adams – we might still be standing in line to use the ferry. There will never be a better time to take action. There will only be worse times. Kristie Gardiner Newport

Gambling Happens To the Editor: In regard to the letter from Dave Wixted (Newport This Week, Nov. 15) titled “This Time, the House Lost,” I have played cards at the Irish American Club in Newport for money! Also, many clubs on Aquidneck Island hold gambling events for no apparent reason than to benefit the persons gambling. How many Rhode Island Lottery terminals are located on Aquidneck Island? Please explain to me the difference between this and table games at Newport Grand. Peter R. Bolhouse Portsmouth

ZONING BOARD

Board Approves Deck Addition By Tom Shevlin Zoning Board members gave their approval to a series of applications on Monday, including one from the owner of a popular Lower Thames Street restaurant who's said that he hopes to turn a failing property into an upscale Chinese restaurant. The application centered around the property at 472 Thames St., which over the years has been home to several short-lived restaurants. A low-slung two-story former residence, 427 Thames St. is set back from and slightly raised above the sidewalk. Most recently it was home to the Aegean Fair Cafe, and before that an Indian restaurant and Brazilian steakhouse. Charlie Pichetschote, the owner of Thai Cuisine as well as two other restaurants in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, told Zoning Board members that he plans to open an upscale Chinese restaurant, The Jade Cricket in the building. Pichetschote sought permission to construct a 450-squarefoot deck around the front of the building. The deck would not only provide additional outdoor seating above the 25 seats currently allowed on the patio facing Thames Street, but also increase the building's frontage. Asked by attorney Turner Scott to describe his plans for the space, Pichetschote said that he's hoping to attract diners from the Yachting Village and surrounding area with an upscale eat-in experience focused on mainland Chinese cuisine. Pichetschote also explained that an existing awning would be removed and replaced by tables with umbrellas. The property would be landscaped to include a mix of flowers and shrubbery. Neighbors, however, expressed concerns about the deck’s size and hours of operation. Pichetschote said that hours would be similar to those kept at the nearby Thai Cuisine, most likely from 10:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. during the winter, and midnight during the summer. He said he has no plans to serve liquor, and a single second-floor apartment will remain. Board members seemed pleased with the application. Lynne Ceglie said that she saw no reason to deny the application, and observed that, "There seems to be something with this building that inhibits businesses from succeeding. Chairwoman Rebecca McSwee-

ney added: "I think this will be a big improvement, both in the use of the restaurant and the access to the restaurant, as well as in terms of the looks of the restaurant." Martin Cohen said that he thought the plan is "reasonable" and said that he was in particular looking forward to seeing the space become handicap accessible. He further applauded Pichetschote for being willing to "undertake a restaurant at a location that has seen failure after failure" while also taking time to recognize the concerns of neighbors. "There is, inevitably, when we have a limited business zone adjacent to the residential, an element of conflict that invariably occurs – particularly here when the limited business zone is essentially one building lot deep along Thames Street," Cohen said. Still, he applauded Pichetschote for taking on the challenge of turning around the property, and added that it will make a welcome addition to the Lower Thames Street area. In other business, board members: Approved a petition by John J. Slocum, Jr. for a special use permit and dimensional variance to add 104 square-feet of additions to an existing carriage house and convert it into a second dwelling unit to the property located at 431 Bellevue Ave. Approved a petition by Steven Lawson to construct a second-story kitchen addition to the property at 37 Eustis Ave. Approved a petition by Francis Sullivan Real Estate Corp. to transfer approximately 1,500-squarefeet of land from an abutting lot to 181-183 Kay St. Approved a petition by Carolyn Fletcher to add a third story shed dormer at 26 Eastnor Rd. Approved a petition by Eugene Friedereick to place a generator 10 feet from the east property line at 229 Ruggles Ave. Approved a petition by Eoin Howlett to remove an existing deck and construct a new one-story addition to the property at 15 Harrision Ave. Approved a petition by James and Anne Kaczorowski to construct a third-story dormer to their home at 22 Connection St. Denied a petition by Edward Breakell to add an additional offstreet parking space to his property at 329 Spring St. And continued the petitions of Tarigo Properties, John Gullison, William and Diane Crowe, and Andew P. Seaman.

Child & Family to Manage Casey Services Child & Family has announced that as of Nov. 1, the organization has assumed management responsibility for Casey Family Services, Providence Division’s Child Foster Care Program. A pioneer in post-adoption services for children from foster care, Casey Family Services works with adoptive parents to address the emotional and psychological challenges foster children face during adoption. Child & Family and Casey Family Services share a strong commitment to move children safely from the child welfare system to permanent homes and to sustain that lifelong connection through post-adoption services, as well as support for birth fami-

lies reunifying with their children. The transition to Child & Family will sustain and extend the legacy of Casey Family Services in promoting positive outcomes for children and families. Throughout the transition, the leadership of Casey Family Services and Child & Family will work together to ensure that the programmatic shift is seamless with no disruptions. All children will remain with their current foster families and pre-adoptive families. They will be served out of the same building at 1268 Eddy Street in Providence, with a core of Casey staff remaining to make the transition along with the children and families.

CENTER

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 "A proper welcome center at The Breakers offering attractive and accessible restroom facilities, the opportunity for family and friends to share a cold drink and a snack, and a space to acquaint our annual 400,000 museum guests with Newport's history and architecture will go a long way in meeting visitor needs," Coxe wrote. "Our primary imperative has been to create a design that complements the iconic nature of The Breakers – one which inspires guests to want to return to Newport." The Preservation Society is hoping to build a roughly 4,000 squarefoot structure on the eastern edge of The Breakers property where a tent currently serves a similar purpose. In addition to serving as a general information center, the building would also provide ticketing space, restrooms, and a cafeteria. As to the design, several iterations have been circulated within the Preservation Society, however BOPNA noted that to date, they have yet to see any formal plans. Among BOPNA's primary concerns is the potential loss of the property's historic landscape. Noting that the group has been supportive of the Preservation Society's efforts at The Elms and Marble House to introduce limited food service, and also of the tented ticketing structure at The Breakers, Moore said that BOPNA is "concerned that this structure would permanently alter The Breakers' landscape and impose a visual element that is inconsistent with the best practices of historic preservation." After all, Moore said, in many ways, the grounds of The Breakers are just as important as is the manse itself. In addition to containing several species of rare trees, Moore said that the grounds represented an important collaboration between Richard Morris Hunt and noted landscape architect Ernest Bowditch. Without firm plans in hand, Moore said that he fears the new building would inalterably affect the property. In the spirit of compromise, BOPNA offered a two-pronged alternative, with ticketing functions housed in a 2,000 square-foot structure in The Breakers parking lot, and food service facilities located in the historic Breakers boiler hall, in what Moore described as "an exciting adaptive reuse of this large empty space." However, Coxe assured him that the Preservation Society is "working to move the Welcome Center project forward with as much transparency as possible." "Once the Preservation Society's Board of Trustees approves a final design for the new facility, a rendering will be prepared and, as discussed in many meetings with you, the Bellevue Ochre Point Neighborhood Association will have a chance to see our plans, as will the many other interested parties in Newport with whom we have been in contact over the past two years." She concluded: "Harry Truman was President of the United States when the Preservation Society assumed responsibility for the upkeep of The Breakers. For the past 64 years, we have done just that and we are looking forward with pride to the next 64 years and to many generations to come. Thus, everyone should be assured that the Preservation Society will continue to always fulfill our organizational responsibilities to The Breakers and all our properties as we have done since the day we were founded."

TOURO CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 is roughly 105 families, and Mandel says the historic significance of synagogue was one of the big draws to the area for him and his wife, Jackie. “I think many Jewish people are familiar with the history of Newport. Maybe not all the details, but certainly that it’s the oldest synagogue in the United States,” he said. Originally from the East Coast, the Mandels spent the past 16 years in California with Beth Jacob Congregation in Beverly Hills, before moving to Newport this summer. “It’s very nice here. We’ve been here only a short time, and we’re learning more about the community each day,” he said. With five of their six children grown, only their 12-year-old son Carmi lives in Newport full-time and attends Providence Hebrew Day School. “The day after we arrived in Newport, Carmi ran to take a tour of Touro Synagogue,” Mandel said. “He was very excited about the fact that this is a historic congregation. He’s a young boy, but somehow the significance really resonated with him.” During the event on Dec. 9, guests will watch as the rabbi lights the second candle commemorating the second night of the festival of lights. Visitors will be offered refreshments, including potato latkes (pan-fried cakes). Fried foods are part of the Chanukah tradition as a reference to the olive oil that miraculously kept the original menorah lit for eight days. Other treats will include chocolate Chanukah gelt. Gelt is Yiddish for “money,” traditionally a small amount of coins that are considered tokens of gratitude. In

the 1920s, American chocolatiers picked up on the coin concept, and began creating chocolate gelt for children. While Chanukah is considered a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish faith, Mandel said because of where it falls in the calendar, it’s celebrated as a festive event. “Chanukah has become more important because we’re surrounded by other faiths that have their holidays around this time, but in the scheme of things, it’s not really on the same level as Yom Kippur or Passover. Chanukah is not even mentioned in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. It took place after. But it still has very great importance to people.” Mandel said the symbolism of the eight candles stretches far beyond the miracle of the oil lasting eight nights. “People find comfort with the idea of lighting the candles in the middle of the winter,” he explains. “The menorah radiates warmth and encourages hope for the future – and always looking for a glimmer of hope in Jewish history. For several periods of time, where there wasn’t much hope, the menorah stood as a symbol of that hope.” Plans for next December call for the congregation to mark its 250th year with a reenactment of the 1763 dedication ceremony. “We’ll recreate the entire program as far as we know how it occurred,” Mandel said. “ It’s not just going to be a candle-lighting, but a march to the sanctuary followed by special prayers and a service in the sanctuary.”

Happy Holidays

Accept the Challenge, Shop Locally First As the holiday season leaps into full swing, there are sure to be parties with friends and co-workers or neighborhood gatherings where you want to say thank you to your host or hostess with a small gift of appreciation. We all want our hosts to know just how much we treasure an invitation – and their company – and what better way to show it than with a gift purchased from one of our local island merchants? Many of the ideas for gifts that follow would also be appropriate for teachers, coaches or other adults a child may wish to thank. Hint: Resist the temptation to snap up anything with “World’s Best Teacher” on it; they have dozens at home already! This is the time of year when it’s a good idea to have a stash of small gifts wrapped and tucked away in a drawer or closet, ready to go with you to a last-minute party or gathering. Perfect for this is an ornament, pretty and personal, and sure to please any holiday hostess. Cottage & Garden has lots of lovely ornaments, including vintage-style glass frogs ($20), squirrels ($15), small pine cones, whales ($20) and fish ($15). A clipon cardinal for a Christmas tree branch is $12, and snails are $15. Eye candy, literally, for any holiday table is a candy cane or ribbon candy tree from Cottage & Garden. These hand-crafted gifts come in three sizes (8 inches tall - $15, 11 inches tall - $20, 15 inches tall -$25). One by itself is fine - all three are quite the festive forest. Other hostess or teacher gifts at Cottage & Garden include boxed note cards by Rifle Paper (8 cards for $20) or heavy brushed pewter cheese picks ($7.50). Any host or hostess would appreciate a gift of Sweet Berry Farm’s jarred vinaigrette dressings (made by Portsmouth’s Cory Farms, $6.95 for a 16-ounce Mason jar). Choose from Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette, or a more tradition-

al balsamic, including a delicate white. In their gift shop, Sweet Berry also has packages of paper plates in opulent designs from Michel Design Works. Square “lobster” plates are especially fun: 8 plates are $4.50. Michel Design Works also makes decoupage wooden or glass trays

in a variety of handy sizes: A large “Island”-themed tray is $32; smaller ones range from $8 to $17.50. For a special treat, consider giving a beautifully wrapped bar of English Shea Butter soap ($10 for fragrant Peach Raspberry). Newport Vineyards’ Mary Ellen McCanna has a store full of gifts for any “hostess with the mostess,” but she predicts that a new item, the “Corkcicle,” – straight off Oprah’s “Favorite Things 2012” list – will be their hottest seller this year. This season’s must-have gadget

perfectly chills your favorite bottle – and keeps it at just the right temperature. These “wine icicles” come in clear or trendy hot colors. ($25) Hot tip: Pair it with a bottle of one of Newport Vineyard’s signature wines. You can even purchase wines with holiday custom labels illustrated with Santas, Snowmen, winter scenes, or scenes of Trinity Church and Bowen’s

Sturdy wooden fireside matches with color-coordinated tips available at Spring Fever. Wharf by Newport artist Eveline Roberge. The wines available for purchase with custom labels are Rising Tide semi-dry white, Gemini red, Bellevue blush ($11.99 – $15.99) Or, consider bringing your host or hostess a bottle of Newport Vineyards’ Vidal Ice Wine, 2010 vintage ($29.99). Harvested after the third hard frost in November/December, the grapes are pressed

2012 Lighthouse Snowßake Ornament Our Fortieth Anniversary Snowflake is a tribute to the Lighthouse whose warning beacon has guided sailors safely home across the centuries. Engraved with the years 1972-2012 in celebration of our forty wonderful years of making jewelry in Newport.

while still frozen to capture the richest nectars of the Vidal. The seductive bouquet of fresh peaches and apricots makes this a truly unforgettable dessert wine. For after-dinner, a gift of port wine is always welcome. Newport Vineyards sells White Cap Port, 2011 vintage ($24.99) to enjoy with dessert or even with a cigar. An elegantly simple wooden cutting board with cheese-cutting tools that store underneath is a real find in the Newport Vineyards shop. By Picnic Time, the set sells for $24.

hostess on your list, including unique creations by local artisans. If you are looking for something that’s not available at the mall, you need look no further than The Beach House, where you’ll find hand-blown glass sailboat, fish, crabs and starfish ornaments ($12 to $18). They’ll add a special touch to a Christmas tree, but also can be displayed year-round as an accent. What busy hostess doesn’t need extra tools for entertaining? Check out the extensive collection of cocktail napkins ($5), spreaders ($5), and ever-so-Newport-style serving dishes ($21). Gift-warpping is also available at The Beach House. The Newport Historical Society’s Brick Market Shop has a fine selection of Newport-inspired hostess gifts for sale, including a boxed set of 6 coasters with a delicate pineapple design from Jason of New Zealand ($15.95) and histori-

cally inspired Newport tile coasters and trivets (originally $12.95 and $42.95, now half-price for the holidays). You might think you know olive oils and balsamic vinegars, but once you enter Virgin & Aged on Thames Street, you will realize that there is a whole lot more to them than you might have thought. Owner Beth Remy imports her oils and vinegars, mostly from Italy and South America, and keeps them in stainless steel vessels called fusti that dispense samples for you to taste. Once you find your preference – perhaps a fig balsamic, or a cranberry pear balsamic, or a blood orange olive oil – it is dispensed by a spigot into the bottle size of your choice: 200 ml or 375 ml.; $14.95 or $18.95. Virgin & Aged will also package up a gift basket of a choice of oil and vinegar, along with a set of pourers for the tops of the bottles. (Gift baskets $49.80 or $57.80) Any home cook will welcome a gift of these oils or vinegars. They would make wonderful hostess gifts as well. Another gift idea: Beautiful clear glass cruets ($25) that allow you to keep your vinegar and oil together, but separate in the same glass vessel, so that you can mix them fresh when you top your salad or other dish. “Dear Santa, Define Good” and

“Choosy Moms choose chardonnay” are just two of the silly sentiment embroidered linen tea towels ($8.95) that owner Aletta Cooper of Spring Fever says are flying out of her home boutique shop on, yes, Spring Street. Cooper has owned Spring Fever for nine years. Before that, many may remember her fine taste in home furnishings and decor as the proprietor of A.M. Cooper Antiques on Franklin Street. Another item she says has been very popular are the bridge sets ($27.50) by Michel Design Works. The set includes two decks of cards with matching score pads. “Dear Santa, Define Good” and “Choosy Moms Choose Chardonnay” are just two of the silly sentiments embroidered on linen tea towels ($8.95) that owner Aletta Cooper of Spring Fever says are flying out of her home boutique on, yes, Spring Street. Another item she says has been very popular are bridge sets ($27.50) by Michel Design Works. The set includes two decks of cards with matching score pads.

For perfectly chilled wine without waiting, the Corkcicle is a “hot” new item available at Newport Vineyards. Recommended by Oprah Winfrey as one of her “favorite things” this year, it’s a gel-filled spear with a cork attached that you place inside a bottle of wine to chill it and keep it chilled.

FROM THE GARDEN Choosing Greens for the Holidays By Cynthia Gibson

The hustle and bustle of holiday shopping is just beginning, so the time to either make or select your wreath for Christmas is now. Hands down, nothing smells better than pine in your home at the end of November and all of December. Yes, you can buy pine-scented candles and essential oil of pine, but the fragrance of a real Balsam fir is the true essence of Christmas. A wreath made from Balsam fir is a wreath you really want indoors and not outdoors because of its holiday scent. You can buy greens for wreaths at many local farmstands, or purchase one that has been pre-decorated at a wreath sale. Even a pre-made Balsam wreath from a supermarket works well. They smell so good. The history of the wreath goes back to Roman times, when a wreath of any material was a symbol of victory. The wreath was placed on the head of the winner of a race or placed on a door of a hero after a victory in war. The invention of the wreath as a Christmas symbol was a German Catholic creation during Advent in the early 1900s. Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve, although there are variations on this period.

Look around your yard or garden for plants that make colorful berries in late fall and early winter and for those with foliage in interesting shapes, colors and textures. Here’s an example of some plants to look for:  Hollies  Cypresses, junipers and similarevergreens (look for stems full of berries)  Nandina  Magnolia trees  Pine trees  Eucalyptus trees  Japanese maples with red or yellow branches  Winterberry  Native and ornamental grasses  Beech trees (the leaves stay brown through winter)  Boxwoods

mature. Select your holly, boxwood, bay laurel, fir, or pine. Buy a spool of thin-gauge wire if you are using a wire wreath form. All craft shops carry these wreath-making supplies. Cut your greens with sharp scissors, and wire them to the form. Repeat the process until the form cannot hold one more sprig! Styrofoam is far easier to work with than wire. Simply cut your greens and poke them into the round wreath shape. Again, repeat the process until you can no longer see one bit of Styrofoam. Make sure you have affixed a hanging device on the back of the wreath form before you begin making your wreath.

The traditional Christmas or Advent wreath was not hung on a door, but placed on a table. On the wreath were placed three candles, and one candle was placed in the center of the wreath. A new candle would be lit each Sunday, but the candle in the center of the wreath was always the last to be lit. Symbolizing the birth of Christ, it was always lit on Christmas Eve. The green of the evergreens symbolizes the permanence of life, as pine and fir trees keep their color all year long. The circle of the wreath is from the inspiration of never-ending hope for a bountiful new year. Making your own wreath for the holidays is really quite simple. You can purchase a wreath form made of Styrofoam or a wire wreath ar-

Create a natural holiday look with berries and colorful foliage from your garden.

Take a day in the kitchen to do this with your children or grandchildren. They will love making wreaths. Many of the fir and pine greens will have resin blisters on them. The resin is not kind to wood furniture, so make sure you have plenty of newspaper in layers over your kitchen table. What to decorate your wreath with is purely up to you. Some of the most fashionable wreathes only use a variety of greens. Deep green Frasier fir, variegated holly with bright red berries, winterberry, and of course, Balsam fir for fragrance – these are the best greens for wreath-making. The wreath is a gift of nature. The simpler the wreath, the more magnificent it is. Cynthia Gibson is a gardener, food writer and painter. She gardens passionately and tends her miniature orchard in Newport.

Parents of young children know that getting them ready for sleep can be a lengthy process, especially during the holiday period, when all they can think about is toys, toys, toys. To deal with this, our family has something called “dream ofs.” Once the lights are out, I whisper in my children’s ears three things to dream of, such as eating strawberries and ice cream at a teddy bear picnic, and this helps them look forward to sleeping and dreaming. The holiday season, though joyous for most people, often means irregular schedules, which may lead to poor sleep, poor diet, stress and an overall feeling of being run down. This is true for children as well as adults. Our bodies are phenomenal machines if given enough quality sleep, relaxation, food and exercise. Among these fundamentals, sleep is one of the most necessary for a healthy mind and body. According to the National Sleep Foundation, toddlers require 12-14 hours per day of sleep (including naps). Kids age 5-12 years need 10-11 hours, and adults need 8 hours. Studies have shown that the brain consolidates its networks for memory and learning during sleep, and that kids, especially, who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to act impulsively and to score lower on cognitive tests. Sleeping through the night can be a dream come true if you take the time to make it a priority. Especially for children, but also for adults, it’s important to create a consistent bedtime ritual and to quiet the mind after a long day. Here are a few ways that you and your loved ones can stay healthy and energetic through the holidays. Limit caffeine and sugar Are you someone who needs a fresh cup of java to coax you out of bed in the morning? Or perhaps you prefer an afternoon jolt of cola or candy? For a better night’s sleep, start by limiting your afternoon pick-me-ups. A diet high in sugar and caffeine can deter sleep. It may give you the false sense of an energy boost to get you through the day, but in actuality what you need is a better quality night’s sleep. As part of your sleep ritual, make a pot of herbal tea before bed for the family (my favorite is Traditional Medicinals Chamomile and Lavender tea). Another option is a cup of warm milk with a drop of vanilla extract added.

Toddlers need 12-14 hours of sleep a day. Get moving Exercising every day is another great way to improve your quality of sleep. Exercise also improves mood and decreases stress levels, which may be what’s keeping you up all night. Sleep experts recommend exercising at least three hours before bedtime, and the best time is usually late afternoon

Studies have shown that the brain consolidates its networks for memory and learning during sleep. so that your body has time to wind down. Studies have also shown that the body needs adequate sleep to lose weight. De-Stress Kids and adults can benefit from a couple of simple de-stressing techniques such as stimulating specific acupressure points, deep breathing, and aromatherapy. These can help to transition to peaceful slumber. Two of the important pressure points to work on are on the feet: the space between the first and second toe, and the area directly below it on the sole. On the body, another pressure point is located in the center of the sternum between the nipples. These pressure points should be massaged for 30-60 seconds before bed. Toddlers and babies can also be calmed by having their belly rubbed in a clockwise circular direction using a soft and slow motion. Taking deep belly breaths helps to relax the nervous system. As you lie in bed, rest your hands over your belly, and take slow, deep breaths. You should be able to see your hands rise and fall with each breath. Take 10 deep breaths like

this, and feel the stress melt away. A warm scented bubble bath is an antidote for almost anything. Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on mood and energy, and a good soak relieves muscle tension. If you’re using essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, vanilla, or rose which promote relaxation, mix 5-10 drops with some shampoo and then pour it into the bath. I also put a few drops of the oil into a diffuser in the living room, which relaxes the entire family. Limit technology It’s hard to escape the nagging need to go on the Internet, play video games, or stay up late to watch television, but these stimuli can keep you from falling asleep. Also, sleep is regulated by lightness and darkness. Our bodies produce melatonin (a hormone related to sleep) as our environment darkens, but this natural reaction is suppressed if we remain stimulated by light. So, falling asleep with the television on, or checking your emails before bed is not conducive to getting a good night’s rest. Make time for sleep Having a sleep schedule is critical in creating a good sleep habit. Your body will naturally adjust to become sleepy at the same time every night. A toddler who is put to bed at 10 p.m. doesn’t necessarily sleep until 10 a.m., however a child who goes to bed at 7:30 p.m. will often sleep until 6:30 a.m. and won’t be cranky, making for a refreshing morning for the entire family.

Hurricane Sandy caused extensive damage to one of Newport’s treasures. The southern part of the Cliff Walk was severely overwashed and undermined by the storm’s tidal surge. As a matter of safety, the City of Newport has closed the affected areas until repairs can be made. The closed area stretches south from Ruggles Avenue to Ledge Road. However, the northern section of the walk and the area south of Ledge Road remain open to walkers. Last weekend, I accompanied a group of friends along parts of the Cliff Walk that were still open to check on the wintering bird population. We started at the end of Ledge Road. We were immediately rewarded with the sightings of a number of wintering waterfowl including Harlequin Ducks, Buffleheads, Red-breasted Mergansers, Common Eiders and Black Scoters. In the waters between the shoreline and the large rock island approximately 50 yards offshore. They were diving for fish, crustaceans and shellfish in the area close to the island. As we were observing the waterfowl, a flock of 12 Purple Sandpip-

Exposed by low tide, the seaweed contains small marine animals that the birds feed on. Purple Sandpipers are about 9 inches long with a wingspan of about 18 inches. They nest on rocky upland tundra in the Arctic Circle and spend winters on storm-swept, inhospitable rocky shorelines of the East Coast from Canada to Florida. In optimal light, purple tones can be seen on the bird’s back, wings and tail. This colorful, plucky species can be found along Newport’s rocky ocean coastline through April. A short stroll south and up a set of stairs led us to a high point which gave us a better view of the surrounding waters. We set up a telescope and scanned the calm waters for other species. The small bay that lies off Bailey’s Beach was active with a number of seabirds. We were able to view Common Loons, Red-throated Loons, Horned Grebes and Red-necked Grebes diving for prey. There was also a small group of Surf Scoters within 100 yards of the beach. On the walk back to the car, we were treated to another surprise. In a pine tree at the southeast corner of Ledge Road, we observed three White-winged Crossbills feeding on pine cones. (See NTW edition Nov. 21, 2012). These unique birds quickly flushed and flew north towards other pines situated on private property. As we walked further up the road, we observed a number of songbirds flying between a large, 150-foot-long hedge on the east side of the road, to a scrub brush habitat on the west side of the road. We observed Song Sparrows, White-crowned Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows and

a Savannah Sparrow moving back and forth. The hedge was alive with Northern Mockingbirds, House Finches and other songbird species. A Cooper’s hawk flew through the area and finally perched on an electric pole up the road from the hedge. It was eyeing the flying smorgasbord and biding its time. As we left the area, we sighted a pair of Red-tailed hawks soaring and circling over the spacious lawns of the Ledge Road homes. A trip to Brenton Point allowed our little group to observe a small flock of Snow Buntings. As we followed their flight path, the flock was joined by three Horned Larks. These two species often flock and feed together on their wintering grounds. They landed in the grassy field near the point and were foraging for seeds. The Horned Lark is the only native lark that nests in North America. It breeds in diverse open habitats such as fields, dry tundra, shortgrass prairies and airports from the far northern United States up to the Arctic Circle. The average Horned Lark is about 7.25 inches long with a wingspan of about 12 inches.

There was total agreement that Aquidneck Island holds not only a richly diverse collection of habitats, but a great collection of bird species.
