Carrying the Torch Naval Airman Bradley Vierkant of the Naval Academy Prep School carried a torch across the finish line in Monday’s Martin Luther King Day relay torch run. The annual relay run covers 8.2 miles from Patriots Park in Portsmouth to Thompson Middle School on Broadway in Newport. Runners competed in temperatures that hovered around 23 degrees. The cold breeze extinquished the torch during the course of the run, but did not quench the spirit of the runners, who began at 9 a.m. and finished shortly after 10 in front of the Middle School, where doughnuts and coffee were waiting for them inside.

Touro Beech is Named 2012 Tree of the Year By Katherine Imbrie A Copper Leaf Beech tree on Touro Street has been named the winner of the Newport Tree Commission’s 2012 Tree of the Year contest, which concluded Jan. 3. The tree’s central location in the city was seen as key to its taking 35.7 percent of the vote. Ballots included numerous comments about the tree, all of them including the word, "Beautiful.” (Votes were cast online through the Newport Tree Society website, NewportArboretum.com, and by ballot at the Newport Public Library.) Ten trees were nominated: a Little Leaf Linden at Washington Square, an American Elm at the Common Burying Ground cemetery, a White Oak on Narragansett Avenue, the winning Copper Leaf Beech on Touro Street, a London Plane Tree at Morton Park, a River Birch at Morton Park, a Weeping Beech at Salve Regina University's Library, a Willow Oak on Narragansett Avenue, a Fernleaf European Beech at Fort Adams, and a Gray Birch on Coggeshall Avenue. In second place with 22.5 percent of the vote was the Weeping Beech at Salve Regina University's Library. This tree also got many comments, including “We must salute the beeches of Newport - last of the Gilded Age,” “Wonderful,” and “Love the branch 'swing' under the tree.” In third place with 11.5 percent of the vote is the Fern Leaf Beech at Fort Adams. Voters said, “It has a nice view of Newport,” “Great Tree,” and “Nice Shape.” Photos of the winners will be displayed at the Newport Public Library through Jan. 31. Nominations will be taken for the 2013
Members of the Education Committee of the Newport National Association for the Advancement of Colored People want to increase diversity in the Newport Public School system through parental involvement, volunteerism, and reviewing the hiring process for teachers. The committee is comprised of Anita DeWitt, Victoria Johnson, Miguel Lopes and Cynthia Smothers. “There has to be a definite course of action and solution to hire administrators/teachers/staff that reflect the diversity of our community,” the committee wrote in a recent newsletter. Over the past 11 years, the school system has worked to develop a Diversity Recruitment Action Plan, but members of the NAACP Education Committee say the plan has never been fully implemented.

In other tree news: A huge European Beech tree that stood near the Edward King House Senior Center was felled by strong winds last weekend, Jan. 19-20. The tree toppled toward the mansion, but damaged nothing, “not even a pane of glass,” said the Center’s director Michelle Duga, who added thankfully that, “we certainly have an angel looking over this house!” The tree was among several beeches in Aquidneck Park (between the Public Library and the King House) whose age has caught up with them. One of them, which also happened to be the 2011 Tree of the Year, toppled in 2012, Copper Leaf European Beech at 122 Touro St. is and three others were scheduled for removal 2012 Tree of the Year. due to issues of root disease and interior rot.

Lower Thames Plan a Go
Weeping European Beech at Salve Regina University took second place.
Despite facing a concerns from residents and business owners, City Council members on Wednesday voted 5-2 to approve a proposal to reallocate $450,000 in state transportation funding from a pilot project originally intended to improve Lower Thames Street. The money, which city officials had feared would be revoked if it wasn't put to use, will now be applied to the highly anticipated Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project. Originally billed as a means of showcasing what an improved Lower Thames Street could look like, the Lower Thames Street Pilot project was intended to carry out various streetscape improvements from Memorial Boulevard to Ann Street. A total of $450,000 was given to the city by the state Department of Transportation more than two years ago, however the project never moved beyond the planning stages. And with the entire Lower Thames Street corridor now on the state's Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the city administration received permission earlier this month to reallocate those funds to more immediate needs surround-

Proud Day for Portsmouth High Patriots By Pat Blakeley Without question, January 21, 2013 will go down in patriot history – Portsmouth High School Patriots’ history, that is. The PHS band, or “Portsmouth’s Marching 160” as they have been dubbed by Principal Robert Littlefield, was privileged to march in the Presidential Inaugural parade, the second time they have been accorded such an honor. The day was long, the parade started late, and they were on their feet for almost twelve hours, but when the band neared the Presidential viewing platform, all that was forgotten, according to band director Ted Rausch. “Everyone stood a little taller, had a bit more spring in their step, and beamed
with Patriot Pride as they played for the President of the United States,” observed Rausch. President Barack Obama clearly appreciated their “American Medley,” standing and clapping to the Patriots’ music. The Patriots might have been the only band from Aquidneck to march, but the other island bands were behind them every step of the way. In a quiet display of island solidarity, Middletown music students took up a collection to help the Portsmouth students’ fundraising efforts, MHS band director Phillip Statser said. Newport’s Supervisor of the Arts Alan Bernstein declared he was “proud of their achievement.” Twenty-nine teachers and parents paid their own way
to assist with the logistics and supervisory responsibilities. “Pulling this off has been a huge job and we have needed a lot of help,” explained music booster president Jim Wilkinson, noting that they are grateful for every donation. “This has been a community effort and will continue to be so,” he said, adding that the boosters will continue to raise funds post-parade to pay for the trip. Anyone interested in donating to the fundraising effort should visit www.portsmouthmusicboosters. org or email phsbandmusic@gmail. com or jdexwilk@gmail.com. A C-SPAN clip of the band performing in front of the president is available at www.c-spanvideo.org/ clip/4323840.

Middletown Considers Stop Signs, Radio Mast By Jonathan Clancy At its regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22, the Middletown Town Council heard recommendations from town administrator Shawn Brown regarding traffic-control issues on Wolcott Avenue. Brown recommended that the intersection of Wolcott Avenue and Reservoir remain a two-way stop, that the crosswalk be removed from the north side of the instersection, that the south-side crosswalk be repainted, and that two “Stop Here for Pedestrians” signs be added. Brown also recommended that the four-way stop at the intersection of Wolcott Avenue and O’Donnell Way be changed to a two-way stop by removing the northbound and southbound stops, and that the six "stop ahead" signs on Wolcott Avenue be removed. “I think it will greatly improve the flow of traffic in that area,” Brown said. “Also, it will result in reduced cost to the public works department to maintain those signs.” Signage would be added on Easton Terrace and O’Donnell Way stating that cross traffic does not stop. It was also recommended to trim hedges along Wolcott Avenue at the intersections of Wayside Avenue, Reservoir Road, and Purgatory Road to a height of no more than 36 inches. Before any of the recommended changes are made, two meetings and notification of neighbors is required. Also at the meeting, the council heard statements from residents Paul Nunes and John Ceglarski regarding the radio mast at the fire station. “It’s a prominent feature in an area we’re trying to preserve as open and natural,” Ceglarski said, noting that the mast could be moved to the back of the fire station. He also said that the 140-foot mast is currently located in the fall zone of neighborhood properties and that there had been no public input before the mast was erected.
Nunes asked why the mast was not held to the same standards as other towers in the town, such as cell towers and wind turbines. Councilor Paul Rodrigues also questioned why the mast was not held to the same zoning requirements as other structures. “There basically are no rules for it,” Brown responded. “It’s not a radio communications tower; it’s a radio mast. So under our zoning, it doesn’t go to the zoning board, and it doesn’t go to our planning board.” Because the fire station is town property and is managed by the town, it is not subject to restrictions by town boards, Brown said. Rodrigues responded, “I understand that… It just doesn’t seem right.” Brown replied that the fall zone had been considered, and that if the mast were to fall, it would land not on a structure but in a public right of way. Brown also noted that the footings of the structure are far more significant than those of the previous structure, and added that relocating the mast would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Earlier in the meeting, Probationary Police Officer Sean P. Twomey was sworn in by Town Clerk Wendy Marshall and pinned by his mother Karen. Twomey, 28, served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan for the United States Navy and earned the Navy Achievement Medal of Valor for his service. Pins of service were also given to employees of the town of Middletown. Mark Wilkey (Middletown Fire Department) and Bob Collins (Middletown Police Department) were recognized for 20 years of service, and Tom O’Loughlin, Public Works Director, for ten years of service. Other town employees pinned by the town administrator for five years of service included Karin Clancey (Deputy Town Clerk), James Gruczka (MFD), William Homer (MFD), and Bob Matose (DPW).
Senate President M. Teresa PaivaWeed, a Democrat who represents Newport and Jamestown, is one of the most influential members of the state's General Assembly, where debate has been heating up on issues ranging from the budget to samesex marriage. After Governor Lincoln Chafee delivered his State of the State address last week, reporters sought Paiva-Weed's opinion about it. “It’s a great starting point,” PaivaWeed said of the proposed budget, which includes no new taxes, a reduction in corporate tax from 9 to 7 percent, and a spending plan that includes more money for education and job creation. That the proposal includes no new taxes is, in Paiva-Weed's view, “very significant.” “That’s obviously very important for the business community not only statewide, but also in Newport,” she said. That fact that Rhode Island currently is tied with Nevada for the highest unemployment rate in the country at 10.2 percent does not sit well with the senate president. “Governor Chafee, House Speaker (Gordon) Fox, and myself have had numerous discussions on how to make the economy have a renewed sense of urgency and focus. This budget reflects that focus,” she said. Another hot-button issue on the General Assembly agenda is samesex marriage. Currently, nine states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex couples to marry. Rhode Island is the only state in New England that has not passed same-sex marriage legislation. On Thursday of this week, state lawmakers in the House of Representatives were expected to vote on a proposal to recognize same-sex marriage. Led by Fox, who is the state's first openly gay House leader, the House has been relatively friendly toward same-sex marriage and seems likely to pass the legislation. However, prospects for passage in the Senate appear less certain, in part because Paiva-Weed has stated her opposition to same-sex marriage. In 2011, Paiva-Weed voted in favor of Civil Unions, which allow gay couples some of the rights and benefits of married couples, but the option has proven unpopular among gay couples. In Newport, only five civil union licenses have been issued since the legislation passed two years ago. Proponents of same-sex marriage argue that it would provide a boost to the wedding industry in Newport, but Paiva-Weed said that’s not clear: “Certainly, advocates suggest that there would be an economic benefit to the state if the legislation is passed, but I’m not in a position to say whether that is true or not true.”

EDITORIAL Let's Rebuild Lower Thames
W
hen the city first proposed a pilot project that promised to improve the streetscape along a small portion of Lower Thames Street, the idea was received with hearty appreciation from business owners and residents alike. At the time, the street was badly neglected, scarred by potholes and plagued by chronic vacancies. Today, things are different. Last year, in advance of the America's Cup World Series, the city resolved (and achieved) what had seemed to have been impossible: they quickly, and with minimal disruption to businesses, laid down a new surface that has transformed the heavily trafficked thoroughfare into one of the smoothest rides in town. However, in the past, when it has come to Lower Thames Street, there has been an unfortunate tendency to take one step forward and two steps back. So, it should come as no surprise that when earlier this month the city signaled a desire to scrap that pilot project in favor of a more comprehensive streetscape improvement project that those same business owners and residents who welcomed the project so vigorously, would show concern. But given the council's recent track record, and its dogged fixation on following through on a host of infrastructure improvements around town, perhaps it's time that we give the administration the benefit of the doubt. At the same time, we would hope that the council commit themselves to nothing less than a full restoration of Lower Thames Street Corridor, complete with the under grounding of utilities, sidewalk enhancements, and if possible, the reclamation of the street's original cobble stone surface. For far too long, Lower Thames Street has been viewed as a secondary roadway, despite serving as one of the most visible areas of our great city for scores of visitors from across the globe. At one time the heart of the working waterfront, its place in Newport's history should not be understated. When the time comes to rebuild Lower Thames, let's do it in a way that's worthy of its past.
Hello to Hollywood
On the subject of showcasing Newport to the world, it is heartening to see the number of Hollywood types who have recently taken an interest in the city and its past. Of course last year, it was the filming of "Moonrise Kingdom" that set town abuzz with camera crews and celebrity sightings. Then, last month, it was the History Channel lighting up Touro Park as they filmed a documentary on the historic Old Stone Mill. And most recently, it's the news of the planned movie focusing in on Bellevue Avenue's Gilded Age that has people talking. Last week, in announcing the plans for the film, the producers singled out Salve Regina University for their role in getting the project off the ground. And that in itself is important. Beyond simple vanity, there are real benefits associated with these projects – not only for the local economy, but also for our collective psyche.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Party Before People To the Editor: What a good, timely editorial regarding the economic quagmire Rhode Island has become. I generally agreed with the ideas expressed, except for one citation. We can't count on Senator PaivaWeed to do anything positive. She will talk and propose, but she won't act. The only time the Senator does anything it is either to defend and justify the terrible behavior of one
of her cronies, or to keep bills in committee. I fear that Senator Paiva-Weed's loyalty is to the Democratic Party first and to the citizens of Rhode Island second. There is no progress possible when that is the case. The time for speeches is long past. Mary Weston Newport

A Cap on Pedicabs? By Tom Shevlin
Citing concerns about traffic congestion and safety, the owner of one of the city's seasonal pedicab businesses is objecting to a request to increase the number of pedicabs allowed on downtown streets. In a letter written to city councilors appearing on the Jan. 23 docket, Benjamin Morris called on the council to limit the number of pedicab permits to 16. "Over the course of the past several years, pedicabs have been a vital and instrumental transportation option in the city of Newport for both locals and tourists alike," Morris said. "When we drafted the original pedicab legislation in 2006, the ordinance called for 12 pedicabs total, split amongst two companies." Already, we have seen this number increased to 16 pedicabs, causing increased traffic concerns and reducing drivers' ability to generate an adequate number of fares." Morris' company, Newport Pedicab, owns a majority of the permits, however as they have grown in popularity, so too has the competition for riders. Earlier this month, when the owners of Pirate Pedicab asked the council to increase the number of permits to 18, Morris found cause for concern. "Since the increase from 12 to 16 permits, we have had a more difficult time recruiting the 'best' pedicab drivers because, since the increase, drivers have had fewer fares and less revenue," he said. "We are at a point where there are current-
Council, General Assembly Delegation to Meet City Council members are scheduled to meet with their counterparts in the state's General Assembly delegation on Saturday, Jan. 26. The special joint workshop is a tradition for new councils, and is expected to lay out the city's legislative priorities for the new year. The workshop will take place in the Program Room of the Newport Public Libray, 300 Spring St., at 10 a.m., and the public is encouraged to attend.
ly too many pedicabs at the waiting areas looking for fares, and an additional increase to 18 pedicabs would only further exacerbate these problems. Soon after the last increase in permits, we had the management of Bannister's Wharf complaining about pedicabs causing congestion. We brought all the pedicab owners together to find a way to resolve the issue, and we realized then, the pedicabs cannot handle another increase." However, David Cass, the owner of Pirate Pedicab, sees the situation differently. In requesting the increase in permits, he said that the additional vehicles will not only allow him to expand his offerings, providing service for weddings, business conventions, and tours, but could also result in at least one new full-time managerial position. Currently operating a fleet of four pedicabs, Cass said that "pedicabs serve a critical need for transportation and entertainment in the City, and I strongly believe that such an increase is warranted based upon my operating history as well as the benefit to the community at large." "Newport's transportation network is becoming increasingly bike- and pedestrian-friendly – the addition of bike lanes on Memorial Boulevard is a great example," he said. "My hope is that pedicabs will continue to help Newport work towards its goal of becoming a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly city." Councilors have referred Cass' request to the city administration for a final recommendation.
Pier Public Workshop The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management invites the public to provide input to its plans to build a new pier at Fort Adams. Construction on the pier could begin as early as this summer and, once finished, the new facility could provide docking for the soon-to-be-complete tall ship, Oliver Hazard Perry. DEM will hold a public workshop on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council chambers in City Hall.

NAACP
COUNCIL
CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 A look at the numbers shows a drop in the percentage of minority teachers and staff relative to the number of students in Newport schools: In 2000, there was a 7 percent minority employment rate in Newport’s schools. That year, there were 2,807 students in Newport. Of those, 64 percent were white and 36 percent were minority; including 23 percent Black, 11 percent Hispanic, 2 percent Asian and 1 percent Native American. By 2011, the percentage of minority teachers and staff had fallen to 4 percent. A decrease in total enrollment meant there were 2,007 students in Newport, but by then, the amount of minority students had jumped significantly, making them 50 percent of the total. Within the minority total, there were 20 percent Black, 20 percent Hispanic, 7 percent multiracial, 2 percent Native American, and 1 percent Asian students. “The number of teachers that look like our kids within the school system is to a lesser degree today than it was 10 years ago,” said Victoria Johnson, former principal of Rogers High School. “We’ve reported this disparity for a number of years. We had a plan of action in 2000-2001 that worked to make sure teachers of diversity were hired into the school system within a minority recruiting program. It seems the decrease came once teachers left, that others were not hired to take their places.” Johnson said that most Rogers High School graduates who go to college don’t return to Newport for full-time employment: “It’s extremely expensive to live here. We feel there are other things that can

be done to get out there and recruit former students back to the area and to make sure that surrounding communities and African-American colleges know when there are positions open here.” Newport’s student population shrank from 2000-2011, so two elementary schools in Newport were closed and plans were made to build a single school which would house all elementary students. The school closings affected employment demographics. “The minority staff gradually left,” NAACP Education Committee Chair Smothers said. “It could have been because of greater employment opportunities in other school districts, or better salaries.” With the new Pell Elementary Dchool scheduled to open in the city’s north end this September, the NAACP Education Committee wants to increase parental involvement and volunteerism through school groups and school committees. “We need the people of the north end to be involved and collaborate with the schools. The only way you know what’s good for your children is if you get involved in their education,” Johnson said. However, a Jan. 16 informational meeting that was held by the committee drew not a single member of the community. Undeterred, committee members promised to move forward with ways to raise community involvement. Said Smothers: “I know that a lot of families are so busy trying to work and survive from day to day. But if they are encouraged, they’ll hopefully feel more empowered to be involved.”
Paiva-Weed Backs Historic Tax Credits By Meg O'Neil Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed (D–Newport, Jamestown) threw her support last week behind a proposal by Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee to restore the state's historic tax credit. Paiva-Weed, who also endorsed a plan to lower the state's corporate tax rate, said in an interview that the re-instatement of historic tax credits will reflect well on Rhode Island as a whole and benefit all citizens in Rhode Island, not just those living on Aquidneck Island. She also said that she was hopeful a proposal in Chafee’s budget to extend $10 million in capital funding for a Local Roads and Streetscape Program will also win the favor of the legislature. If approved, Paiva-Weed said every town in the state would receive a portion of the funds. The amounts are allocated based on the number of road miles within each municipality. In total, Newport could receive $203,332 to repair local
roads. Jamestown would receive $107,929; Middletown $181,410; and Portsmouth $279,793. According to Bill Riccio, Newport's Director of Public Services, the $203,000 that Newport stands to receive could be used to improve "a number of small streets" or perhaps be applied to upcoming projects. While the prospect of tax credits and additional infrastructure funding is likely to be welcomed by investors and municipalities, there are also areas of concern. “Because voters did not approve table gambling at Newport Grand, there are no additional revenues (for Newport) built in to the governor’s budget," Paiva-Weed said, adding "what the budget does reflect are certain additional revenues for Lincoln from Twin River.” She said it would be “highly unlikely” for the state to help offset a loss in revenue for Newport if Newport Grand does begin to see a loss in revenue.
ing the Broadway Streetscape Improvement Project. Third Ward Councilor Kathryn E. Leonard said that while she understands the city's challenge facing the city, she wished the administration had been more forthcoming with where the project stood before seeking out the reallocation. Councilwoman Naomi L. Neville agreed, and asked that the city provide a complete description of how the city proposes to pursue a complete restoration on Lower Thames Street. Several members of the Lower Thames Street community were in attendance at the council's Jan. 23 meeting. City Manager Jane Howington explained the situation to councilors in a Jan. 14 memo. "As we move through the planning, design, permitting and construction of our multitude of projects, there are opportunities for modifications that will enhance our City and it's important to take advantage of these situations by being flexible," she wrote. "Additionally, staff was informed RIDOT had a 50/50 program for the under grounding of utility wires which would be a huge improvement to the Lower Thames area but if the pilot project was completed there wouldn't be enough money to bury that section of wires: we would have to tear up what we just constructed once we did the entire road reconstruction project." Instead, Howington suggested that the council approve a request to abandon the pilot project and apply the funds to complete Broadway with decorative lighting and other enhancements. She also said that the city is ready to begin reconstruction on Lower Thames Street in a much more comprehensive way, adding that the state was not going to authorize the city to conduct the pilot project and then embark on a more complete project. "We can start that in the immediate future," Howington said. Currently slated for a 2013 ground breaking, the Broadway project is perhaps the city's most eagerly anticipated public works project in years, promising improved pedestrian safety, a calmer traffic pattern, and various beautification enhancements. But, as Howington conceded, the city appears to be facing a shortfall that threatens the project's decorative lighting plans. "Transferring the enhancement dollars from the Lower Thames pilot project to the Broadway project would provide us with the ability to complete Broadway (including the lighting)," she said. City Council members pledged to ensure that Lower Thames Street receives the attention it deserves in future planning. The proposal was approved 5-2, with Councilors Michael T. Farley and Kathryn E. Leonard opposed.

Naval Community Briefs Naval Station Wind Energy Open House Naval Station Newport will hold an open house on Thursday, Jan. 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Community College of Rhode Island auditorium to present the results of studies that were prepared to support the installation’s Environmental Assessment (EA) for the use of wind energy. The EA was initiated in January 2011 to evaluate Naval Station’s proposal to produce up to 9 megawatts of electricity for the station’s use. It examined the environmental impacts of siting wind turbines for twelve pre-selected sites on board the installation. Studies looked at environmental impacts related to noise, shadow flicker, birds and bats, marine mammals, historic properties, and archeological resources at each of the twelve sites. The Naval Station is pursuing alternative energy generation projects in an effort to meet the goals of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Executive Order 13423 and the Secretary of the Navy’s goal to produce at least 50 percent of shore-based energy requirements from alternative sources by 2020. Nearly 8,000 military and civilian personnel report to the installation daily to work and train at one of the 50 different Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S. Army Reserve Commands and schools that call Newport home. For more information, contact the Public Affairs Office at 401841-3538.

NUWC Newport’s Economic Impact on Area End of the year reports from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Newport delineate the command’s economic impact on the regional economy. NUWC is the largest federal activity in R.I. in terms of personnel and payroll and had a total funded program in excess of $935 million in 2012. Of its total operating budget, more than $581 million was spent on payroll, construction, facility support, and local contracts. NUWC Newport’s employee base includes 2,748 government civilian employees and 31 military members with a total gross payroll of over $296 million. Of the full-time government civilian staff, 74 percent are scientists or engineers. In addition to the government workforce, NUWC Newport contracted with companies located in R.I., Mass., and Conn., bringing its combined government and contractor workforce to nearly 4,700 positions. Money spent for contracts totaled approximately $421 million, with contracts obligated to Southern New England companies during the year exceeding $248 million. The breakdown included $200 million awarded to Rhode Island-based businesses, $38 million issued to Massachusetts-based companies, and $10 million obligated to Connecticut businesses. Construction contracts totaled over $17 million, with an additional $18 million spent on facility support contracts.

By Pat Blakeley Naval Station Newport’s longawaited new Fitness Center is nearing completion. Construction of the new gym is expected to wrap up in March when the property will be turned over to the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department for outfitting and equipment installation. The new, as yet unnamed facility is targeted to open in May. To the thousands of military personnel serving on the base who are required to be in peak physical form at all times, this is welcome news. Ground was broken in March 2010 on the $38 million designbuild project by Massachusettsbased Consigli Construction, with many local area subcontractors working on the project since its inception. The construction contract includes demolition of the old gym prior to the September contract closing date. The new, almost-67,000 square foot, energy-efficient gym will include an elevated indoor track, basketball courts, racquetball courts, fitness classrooms, and an extensive weight training and exercise machine area. As part of the contract, approximately $1 million in new equipment will be installed in the center. The gym will also feature a six-lane pool which will replace the deteriorating and energy-inefficient Pool 307. The current Quonset hut-style fitness facility, Gym 109, was originally constructed in 1942 as a drill hall, but it has served as the base’s primary athletic space for decades. With an average daily attendance
Gym 109, built in 1942, still serves as the base's primary work out space until the new fitness center is completed. Architects' rendering of new facility at top. of 950, two-thirds of whom are active duty, the gym is open weekdays from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. to accommodate base-wide work/ training schedules and operates at reduced hours on weekends and holidays. In addition to active duty personnel, the facility is also open to retirees, reservists, dependents, civilian employees and DoD contractors working on base. While the Navy embraced physical readiness programming in the 1980s, personal fitness training has taken on new importance in recent years and is considered integral to mission success. The focus is on the total body conditioning required to keep the fighting force deployment ready at all times. One year ago, the service implemented the Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS), employing a new methodology to keep personnel ashore and afloat in top physical condition. Based on world-class sports science training philosophies, NOFFS is designed to improve operational performance, decrease the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal inju-
ries, and provide sound nutritional guidance for sailors. The program is adaptable to every operational platform. Currently, only active duty personnel are offered the intense fitness classes. The Fitness and Sports staff offers multiple levels of training to accommodate all base personnel and has developed programming suitable for people across the fitness spectrum. While most classes are designed to meet the “needs of the fleet” with cardiovascular, cross, strength and functional training emphasized, all are adaptable to those with varying degrees of fitness. Classes run throughout the day and evening and encompass options from TRX® to Zumba®, Kettlebells to yoga, and Pilates to spinning – programming designed to attract participants of all ages and ability levels and to avoid boredom in the workout routine. Naval Station Newport’s new Fitness Center will ensure that all personnel have the opportunity to achieve and maintain the high standards of readiness necessary to optimize performance.

Finding Indoor Fun in Winter
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND KHoliday AROL RICHARDSON! Sales Event
By Shawna Snyder
Rain, snow, slush, wind, and cold are the elements of a typical New England winter, as famously described by Mark Twain: "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a minute." On a stormy day, when my girls and I can't go to the park, we will bake cookies. Then, with full bellies, we'll work on making our own book, which is about a wily dinosaur who creates problems for our hero, the unicorn. We color the scenes of this dramatic tale, place them in order, and bind them together with a few staples. Just like that, half the morning is gone. Next, we might play dress up with our tolerant black Labrador retriever. At first, she's eager to please us and doesn’t mind wearing fairy costumes. But finally, she lies down with a whimper, resting her tiaracrowned head on her paw, and tells us with her sad face that this is not fun for her anymore. So, we stop, but that just brings us to lunch time, and we still have all afternoon to fill. We need to find someplace fun to play indoors! Here are a few fun places we’ve found: Library: Many programs for children are planned for February at local public libraries, such as Pirate Party Palooza, Chinese New Year stories and crafts, Super Cold Science for kids, a live reptile presentation, and a space program. We recently attended a live exotic animal program and had some thrilling moments, including when a boa constrictor was draped around my neck. We also snuggled with an adorable chinchilla. Some library programs require pre-registration, but all are free. Check the “Newport This Week” calendar for upcoming events, or visit the library websites. Kidventure Play and Party

Hunter • Jack Rogers • Osprey fledgling feeds on breakfast of fish atop pole at Toppa Field. (Photo by Jack Kelly) fledged. The Rhode Island breeding population produced an average of 1.83 fledglings per successful nest and 1.40 fledglings per active nest. There were 59 inactive nest sites and 15 ‘housekeeping’ nests, meaning a nest with Ospreys present but no observable incubation of eggs. Often these nests are built by sub-adult Ospreys.” Walsh continued, “In our region, studies reveal that the breeding rate needed to balance adult mortality is 0.81.0 fledged young per active nest. Rhode Island had a 1.4 fledged young per active nest in 2012, indicating that population growth is likely to continue.” Young Ospreys require about two years or three winter seasons to mature. They usually return to their region of origin to mate, breed and nest. The Ospreys from our area normally migrate to various regions of South America in early October. Aquidneck Island had a number of active nesting sites during 2012. Newport’s lone active nest is located on the cell tower at Toppa Field/Freebody Park, and produced three fledglings this past season. My friend Mark Anderson and I have co-monitored this site for the past three nesting seasons as the mated adult Ospreys raised
a total of seven fledglings. We have witnessed the intricate courtship rituals of these unique raptors, and have observed them as they fed, raised, educated and protected their young. We have met the birds’ human neighbors, who also marvel at the actions of these dynamic creatures, and are happy to see the adult Ospreys return annually, usually in mid-March. All of us are awaiting their safe return in a couple of months. The Audubon Society is seeking volunteer nest monitors for the upcoming 2013 nesting season, particularly in southern Rhode Island. Interested parties should contact July Lewis, Volunteer Coordinator, at jlewis@asri.org or call 949-5454 x3044. The 2013 orientation meeting will be held Mar. 9 at 10 a.m. at the Audubon Society’s Environmental Education Center in Bristol.

Winter Blow Out
S a r t o • FSNY
In 1978, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management began an Osprey Monitoring Program to record the breeding success of the species and to evaluate its recovery after the devastating effects of the pesticide DDT. That first year’s efforts revealed only 12 active nests in the state and only 13 Osprey fledglings. However, as the effects of the pesticide dissipated over time, this resilient species’ population began to slowly grow and expand its nesting sites across the state. Ospreys are the only birds-ofprey that eat fish exclusively. The average Osprey is about 2 feet long and has a wingspan of about 5.5 feet to almost 6 feet. The female of the species is approximately 1/3 larger than the male. They have a dark brown plumage above and white below. The underwings are a mottled brown and white. The birds have a dark eye-stripe and a short crest on their heads. The adults have yellow eyes, and fledglings have reddish eyes. Ospreys hunt by hovering over the water, then plunging down to grasp fish with open talons which are lined with retractable barbs called spicules. They also have an opposable rear toe that allows for grasping or perching. In 2010, the Audubon Society of Rhode Island took over the monitoring project with the cooperation of the DEM. Utilizing data gathered by the state agency, the staff biologists, interns and volunteers of the Audubon Society launched themselves into this new endeavor. Volunteers conducted a survey of known nests in the state and searched for new ones. First-year results revealed 115 successful nests with a total of 171 fledged young. In 2011, Audubon volunteers and interns began a program that would precisely locate every Osprey nest in the state through the use of Global Positioning Satellites (GPS). This remarkable effort was completed during the 2012 nesting season and has been recorded on Google Earth maps. A separate website for the monitoring program was also established, streamlining information, instructions, maps and updates for volunteer monitors. According to Eric Walsh, Audubon’s Osprey Monitoring co-manager, “In 2012, 70 volunteers monitored 200 known nest sites. Of the 126 active nests, 96 produced at least one fledgling. A total of 178 young Ospreys successfully

‘Relay For Life’ Gears Up By Jack Kelly The American Cancer Society recently held a kickoff event for its May 17-18 fundraiser, the Relay for Life, which will be held May 17-18 at Gaudet Middle School in Middletown. The Relay is an organized, overnight team walk in which members of each team take turns walking around a track while other team members camp and participate in food, games, and team-building activities. Relays are held annually in more than 5,000 communities in the United States, as well as in 19 other countries. According to a statement from the Society, “The Relay For Life gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, to remember loved ones lost, and to fight back against the disease.” This year’s Middletown Relay will be held Friday-Saturday, May 17-18, from 4 p.m.-10 a.m. at Gaudet. Teams must have a minimum of eight members and should have at least one member on the school’s track at all times during the event. Team campsites are established for those who will be spending the night and walking or running in the early morning hours. According to Jen Kneeland, co-chairperson for this year’s event, “Teams can be formed at any time. We have a number of planning meetings that anyone interested in becoming involved with the Relay are invited to attend. All of the meetings will be held at the Middletown High School library.” Liz Sharpe, who helps to organize the Aquidneck Island Relay,
said that last year’s event surpassed its fundraising goal of $100,000. “We raised $121,279, and we are establishing a goal of $100,000 for this year’s event,” she said. One team that has been deeply involved in the Relay is “Charlie’s Angels,” Team captain Kelley Lynch said that her team is deeply rooted in family, with three generations participating this year: “My mother Paula Lynch, and my grandmother Pat Petrie, have been involved with the Relay for ten years.” Petrie and her husband Ron are both cancer survivors. Petrie said, “We had four generations involved for eight years, because my mother June Vickers was part of our team. She prepared baked goods for our fundraising table and gave great moral support to our team. She passed away in March last year at the age of 91.” Charles Lynch, Paula’s husband and Kelley’s father, was diagnosed with cancer and died in November, 2011. “We stay involved to honor Charlie’s memory and to help raise funds,” Petrie said. The next Relay planning meeting is scheduled for Feb. 6 at 6:45 p.m., in the Middletown High School library. Anyone interested in volunteering, entering a team, or joining a team is welcome to attend.

Islander Boys Rebound Against Mounties – Win 68-42 After suffering their first loss of the season, by only one point, at undefeated North Smithfield High School on Thursday, Jan. 17, the Middletown High School boys’ basketball team bounced back into the win column with a 68-42 home victory over Mount St. Charles Academy on Tuesday, Jan. 22. Led by junior J. D. Bailey’s 18 points (including a dunk) and 16 rebounds, the Islanders got off to a slow start, trailing by as many as 11 points mid-way through the first half, before gaining control over the aspiring Mounties and running and gunning their way back to a 38-26 halftime lead. Middletown never looked back on their visitors from Woonsocket and are now 10-1 in Division III-East (15-1 overall). With the loss, Mount St. Charles’ record dropped to 3-8 in Division III-North (3-11 overall). The Islanders also received significant offensive contributions from senior Randy Butler and junior Connor Russ, who scored 15 and 13 points, respectively. MHS next opposes Johnston High School on the road on Friday, Jan. 25, and returns to their home court to tip-off against East Greenwich on Tuesday, Jan. 29. Both games start at 7 p.m. – Kirby Varacalli
The Islanders’ J. D. Bailey, #40, soars above Mount St. Charles defenders on a tip-in attempt in the first half. The Middletown junior finished with a game-high 18 points and 16 rebounds.
Islanders’ senior co-captain David Brown, #32, stops a fast break by leaving his feet and poking the ball away from Mountie Casey Ryan, #31, in the second half.
