Shining a Light on History As it turns 150 years old, the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse looks better than ever By Robert Isenberg When a young Dennis Tardiff was told he would be posted at the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, his first reaction was: “Where’s that?” The Coast Guard cadet had never heard of that little island in the Providence River, an 800-foot swim from the Riverside shore. When Tardiff, a Maine native, arrived there in April of 1971, he had no idea the lighthouse was just turning 100 years old. He didn’t necessarily expect to live in the lighthouse, staggering shifts with two other men, for three years and three months. He didn’t know he would be the last serviceman to live there before the Coast Guard shut down the lighthouse for good. In fact, he only learned it would close from the newspaper reporters who contacted him, asking for comment. But most striking of all, Tardiff never imagined his life would become so tied to that one islet. Today, he is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, which has successfully restored the building and its modest grounds. This year marks the 150th anniversary of its original construction, and despite the pandemic, the Friends intend to celebrate in style.

By Robert Isenberg
The handsome Victorian structure has a long and storied history, starting with its first lighting in 1871. A handful of civilian lighthouse keepers lived on site, often with families; the first, C.H. Salisbury, manned the island for 22 years. Conditions were rustic, even during Tardiff’s tenure; there was no plumbing, and all supplies had to be boated in. “Three years is a long time for that kind of work,” Tardiff recalls. “We had been working on that lighthouse two weeks on and one week off for a while. We worked three or four days by ourselves. That was getting pretty old. I was looking for a change.” Tardiff settled in Rhode Island with his
12

family, and he stayed with the Coast Guard for 26 years. But Pomham Rocks was shut down in 1974; a few civilians tried to live there, but the island was finally abandoned altogether. Exxon Mobil owned the island from 1980 until 2010, at which point the petroleum giant donated Pomham Rocks to the American Lighthouse Foundation. In 2006, after exhaustive fundraising efforts, the exterior was restored and a new navigational light was installed. Tardiff didn’t set foot on the island until 2016, a full 42 years after he was stationed there. The facility was largely intact, but the neglect was palpable. “It was quite a feeling, to go back there,”
remembers Tardiff. “The lighthouse was built very strong. The beams are nothing like we have today. The thing had great underpinnings. But the inside was in shambles. There was a lot of rot going on.” What’s more, the tower was leaning at three degrees – imperceptible from a distance, but guaranteed to collapse without structural aid. Today, the restoration is complete, and Pomham Rocks is equipped to receive visitors. All the floors are new, and power has been restored, thanks to a new cable that runs under the water. The island has a dedicated, 26-foot boat, which can ferry 19 passengers at a time. The Friends of the
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse now boasts 163 members from across the country. One of its newest members is Judianne Point, who grew up in Massachusetts and has a lifelong affection for nautical beacons. “Lighthouses are always in the best locations,” she says. “They’ve always fascinated me.” Point’s husband, Gary, grew up on the East Bay. As a child, Gary would visit the dentist, whose office had a view of Pomham Rocks. Later, the Points would ride the East Bay Bike Path, which offers the clearest vista of the island. After years of wondering what the lighthouse was like inside, Judianne learned about the Friends and signed up as a member. Now she is
a board member, chair of the 150th Anniversary Committee, and tour director for the organization. “We want to bring the lighthouse to the people,” says Point. She notes that the lighthouse is invisible from almost any drivable road, and only passing cyclists really appreciate its presence. By spreading the word, she hopes the Friends can raise awareness and encourage tours. “They have such a gem sitting out there. There’s so much to offer to people. We want to educate the public.” To this end, the Friends will host a Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Run on April 24, and then Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Day
on August 8 – the day after National Lighthouse Day. They also plan to hold a ceremony for the first lighthouse keeper, who is interred in a Warren cemetery, on July 27. Eventually, they hope to honor all of the keepers, likely one each year. COVID-19 may limit the number of visits that are possible, and there are still a few tasks left to do – such as the removal of a 2,000-gallon oil tank – but the landmark anniversary is sure to be bright. The lighthouse itself has returned to its 19th century splendor. Says Tardiff: “It’s better now than when I was there with the Coast Guard.” To keep up with anniversary events and get involved, visit PomhamRocksLighthouse.org.

Rhode Trippin’: Valentine’s Day Edition Winter delights for heart-y couples on the Hallmark holiday Some say that Rhode Islanders don’t like going anywhere more than 10 minutes from home, but with the travel bug biting, many of us are now looking for in-state ideas for an afternoon, day trip, or staycation. Each month, Bob Curley, author of 100 Things to Do in Rhode Island Before You Die, will share about places to go within our own state – this month, he gushes about getting romantic in Rhody. Whoever decided to put Valentine’s Day in February clearly wasn’t from Rhode Island. It’s actually hard to imagine a less romantic month in coastal New England, more likely to
produce sleet and freezing rain than anything as picturesque as snow. But take heart, lovers. V-Day 2021 may be the first one we’ll celebrate under COVID, but if ever there was a holiday built for social distancing (from others, not your honey, of course), this is it. Some goto romantic getaway options may be off the table, like overnight stays at the Rose Island Lighthouse, but couples can still string Cupid’s bow at some of my favorite Rhody resorts, restaurants, and snuggle spots. Any of the rooms at The Chanler resort will more than do for a romantic overnight in Newport, but I particularly love the three Ocean
Villas — named Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket — each with a hot tub and sauna on a private deck. These rooms also all have en-suite fireplaces for warming up after a brisk saunter along the adjacent Cliff Walk (I also recommend checking out the hotel’s decadent hot chocolate bar). Other City by the Sea cozy accommodations include Serenity Inn and Sarah Kendall House: B&Bs with working fireplaces in every room. Set the scene for a hearthside celebration with a stop at Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet, where owner Maria Chiancola will help you pair the perfect bottle with a spread of delectable cheeses and other

nibbles. For romance with a little relaxation, combine a stay with the Water Journey at Newport’s Bodhi Spa, a healthful series of soothing and invigorating hot and cold plunges. One of the bright spots of 2020 was the opening of a second Bodhi Spa location in Providence that’s even more spacious than the original on Lower Thames Street in Newport. Providence’s Christopher Dodge House is another small inn with fireplace rooms, while the King and Premiere suites at the Hotel Providence both have whirlpool tubs for a relaxing bubble bath (just add strawberries and paired flutes of bubbly). Both are close enough for hand-in-
hand strolls in Waterplace Park and the city’s ever-growing Riverwalk. If indoor dining falls within your comfort zone, the bright and airy Hemenways has high ceilings, well-spaced seating, and the city’s best raw bar. The perils of February weather aside, you’ll still have a few options for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner outdoors, too. Mare Rooftop restaurant and Providence G are among the local eateries offering igloo dining this winter, the ideal way to safely pod up with your pandemic bubble-mate. Other choices include Chaska for Indian food in Garden City and Terrazza in Smithfield, which offers Mediterranean shareables like stuffed
grape leaves and hummus. Stay tuned for possible romantic returns of the sucrée special at Gracie’s or VooDoo Valentines at Xaco Taco in Prov, and Westerly’s Ocean House will keep its Fondue Village open all winter for champagne and crepes served in a cozy ski gondola – enough to warm hearts even on the coldest (and, let’s face it, weirdest) Valentine’s Day.

Video Saved the Radio Star With live gigs on hold, local power pop quartet Jets Can’t Land delivers music and meaning in a new way In the bizarro world we find ourselves in, Rhode Island power pop rockers Jets Can’t Land took the newfound, show-free, ample time available to bring the song “Stranded on the Moon” off their As the Earth Shakes EP on 75orLess Records to vivid technicolor. That’s right, they made a music video.
With Apollo-era imagery and playful, cross-hatched notebook-doodle style animation, JCL singer-guitarist Eric Meier, bassist Michael Bilodeau, guitarist Kyle Jackson, and drummer Keith Swist, pulled the song out of storage in response to the state of affairs we find ourselves in.
“I know it seems timely since we’re all stranded inside – trapped,” Meier says, “and that desperation is a part of the song. But it was inspired by an article I had read about the original moon astronauts. Apparently, Nixon had written a speech in the event they weren’t able to take off from the

moon. I began to think of the song as an alternate history sort of thing, imagining what an astronaut might be thinking if they were stranded. I like those ideas in general; apocalyptic sci-fi has always intrigued me.” Using repurposed art from the EP, Meier created the video himself as a project to fill the musical void of not playing live or having jam sessions. As with all artists, creativity doesn’t disappear; it just changes form. The video itself has a cool, almost stop-motion feel to it and would have fit in perfectly in a ‘90s Saturday afternoon lineup on MTV. “I think the MTV vibe is pretty coincidental as I’ve always liked those sorts of images,” Meier says. “With the theme of the song being so Apollo-centric, it seemed like a thing to do that I could draw pretty easily – since I had to draw a ton of drawings. For animation, it’s 15 frames per second and the song is over five minutes long, so there’s over 3,700 frames in the video.” Behind Apollo rockets blasting off and JCL band members playing the song with scrawled lyrics, “Stranded on the Moon” is straight-ahead rocker with jangly, garage vibes reminiscent of REM or The Flaming Lips, playing to the urgency that comes from being solitary and stranded. The most miniscule of actions are consequential because that’s all there is. Despite having written the song pre-pandemic, JCL certainly picked a timely tune to give new life with a video; it was also a chance to reimagine and repackage the song with alternative layers of meaning and narrative. “Being an animated video, this gave me a chance to think about moments in the song that I’ve imagined while singing the song at our shows, and to illustrate those moments to the audience in a quirky and fun way.” Says Swist, “I just assumed that this is what is going on in Eric’s head all the time.” Find everything Jets Can’t Land at Linktr.ee/jetscantland.

Foodie-about-town Chuck Staton dishes on best bets for an East Bay Valentine’s Day
By Chuck Staton

Valentine’s Day in Rhode Island is a beautiful thing. If you can get through the bleak, gray days of January, suddenly everything becomes a little rosier when February 1 rolls around – helped along by the rows of pink and red greeting cards and candy packaging in every grocery store and pharmacy. While it might still be cold and even snowy, there’s nothing quite as warming as sitting down to a Valentine’s meal with the one(s) you love. And in the East Bay, there’s no shortage of restaurants that will come through in spades (and hearts).
Though Castle Hill Inn is set by the sea, it still makes for a cozy winter getaway
Chuck Staton is a writer at The Bay who focuses on food and the arts. He co-hosts The Chuck and Brad Podcast, is an independent filmmaker who does most of his film work with the podcast Tell ‘Em Steve Dave, and also the singer/rhythm guitarist for punk band Senior Discount.
The Dining Room is a sophisticated setting for a romantic evening Photos courtesy of Castle Hill Inn
Castle Hill Inn Newport With the added accolade of recently being named one of the Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America by OpenTable, Castle Hill is a bullseye for Cupid’s arrow. Newport’s reputation is that of an upscale, historic, seafaring community – awash with boat shoes, bowties, and seersucker suits. If pretending you’re a suave socialite from The Great Gatsby for the day is your Valentine’s style, there’s no better place to embrace the cultured aesthetic than Castle Hill Inn. Originally built as a “summer home” for Harvard marine biologist Alexander Agassiz in the 1870s, Castle Hill overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and allowed Agassiz to stay
close to the sea life he studied, while taking part in Newport’s burgeoning mansion scene. Over the years it morphed from a personal seaport sanctuary to a temporary Naval base during World War II, and finally into the glamorous and bougie coastal hotel that it is today. But the grandeur doesn’t stop at the hotel rooms. The dining at Castle Hill, led by Executive Chef Louis Rossi, is exquisite. Split between two areas – the Dining Room and The Lawn – the culinary intention is to take the elegance of the establishment and translate it into mouthwatering, upscale dishes. The Lawn is obviously more suited to the summer, providing a view of the East
Passage and a Terrace Bar focusing on cocktails and all the shellfish you can eat. In winter, and especially on Valentine’s Day, you’ll want to settle into the glowing warmth of the dining room. This year, with a three-course menu priced at $92 per person, we’re talking appetizers like rigatoni carbonara with red king crab, egg, and guanciale. Entree choices such as sauteed rose fish accompanied by kabocha squash with root vegetable minestrone and Rohan duck duet (pan-roasted breast and braised leg rillette) are on the table. For dessert? You get to pick between red velvet soufflé, passion fruit vacherin, and (my personal favorite) their chocolate tart.
Laid-back vibes at Revival
Revival Craft Kitchen & Bar Warren

If you’re looking for a more rustic, laidback date, Revival has you covered. Situated along the Warren waterfront, the craft kitchen and bar has made a name for itself over the course of the past three years with its locally sourced ingredients and unique takes on New England standards. Perfectly suited to be a warm refuge, the restaurant represents a welcoming neighborhood tavern – a place where you can cuddle up in a corner with pillows, or with a cocktail by the bar. Even the decor at Revival is built on comfort: rich browns, tans, and grays make

up the color palette, and the moody lighting beckons you to stay a while. Perfect when you’re looking to lounge and get lost in conversation with your date. On top of the dreamy atmosphere, the menu at Revival is, simply put, outrageous – and it’s awesome for couples because these dishes are built for splitting. The Burrata Slate is a combination of Maplebrook Farm burrata cheese, shaved prosciutto, fig marmalata, walnut pesto, balsamic reduction, and grilled Tuscan bread. The Revival Fall Mac and Cheese comes with roasted root vegetables and brown butter breadcrumbs. The roasted butternut squash pizza comes with goat cheese, caramelized fennel and onion, baby arugula, and truffle honey. The Marsala Braised Pork Osso Bucco is a monstrous shank, and comes with braised local greens, crispy bacon bits, and is contrasted with Vermont cheddar grits. Those four dishes together, split between two people, is a flawlessly balanced meal for a Valentine’s Day that breaks through the winter chill to leave you warm and satisfied (in stomach and in heart).
The Beehive Cafe Bristol The Beehive is consistently at the top of my list for breakfast in the East Bay. Straddling the line between downtown and the waterfront, the best word to describe the Beehive is “delightful.” For some, Valentine’s is more about the day than the night. When you walk into the cafe, be prepared to be overloaded with warm tones, blonde wood, and natural light. Immediately in front of you sits a bakery case that is brimming with temptation: banana bread, lemon squares, chocolate hazelnut biscotti, and all types of cookies ranging from gluten-free chocolate chip to straight up fudge – the list goes on, and has continually evolved. But bakery items are only a piece of the pie at the Beehive. The cafe has a coffee selection that ranges from traditional everyday offerings to special seasonal drinks like their Toasted Marshmallow latte. If part
of your evening includes cozying up with a warm, tasty, caffeinated beverage, they’re prepared to help you chase those winter chills away. For the past few years, they’ve been doing their “Hot Date Dessert Night” every February 14, offering up desserts like Black Forest Chocolate Torte or Lemon Blackberry Pavlova while also treating you to cocktails and tapas. This year, with restrictions constantly changing, plans aren’t yet set at the Beehive, but for a V-Day wake-up you’ll definitely be able to grab some of their top-notch hearty breakfast items. Whether it’s the Beehive Biscuits with grilled tomato, fried egg, arugula, and four-cheese sauce on their rosemary biscuit, or my personal favorite, the Butternut Cornbread Hash with tomato, spinach, cheddar, and two eggs on the side – you can’t go wrong with breakfast from the Beehive.

Norey’s Newport
Norey's food and decor is full of personality Photos courtesy of Norey's
Casually sitting on Broadway, Norey’s feels like they brought in a set designer to create a laid-back, artful, hip-and-homey bar where you can laugh with friends over good beer and good food. Norey Cullen originally opened Norey’s Star Restaurant for breakfast and lunch in 2000, and her son Tyler began working in the kitchen. By 2009, Tyler had his own aspirations about turning Norey’s into a hangout that would provide an enormous selection of craft beer to Newport and beyond. With mood lighting throughout and just the right amount of red neon lighting glow, this is the place for the romantic beer connoisseur, or just about anyone looking for some creative, thoughtful food in a casual environment. With fun picky dishes like Barbecue Pork Belly and East West wings,
Norey’s is a catch-all for every type of diner. If you just want to chat over some appetizers, you’re set, but if you want to leave with a (very) full stomach, they’ve got chicken and waffles that come with sauteed pears, onions, and sherry maple syrup. Other standouts are their oysters Rockefeller, truffle parmesan fries, Bolognese, and a beef stroganoff that will bring the house down. I stopped in for dessert on Valentine’s Day last year after hearing amazing things, and I was so impressed that I literally had to talk myself out of immediately ordering a second crème brûlée. The dessert menu is constantly revolving, but coconut cake, peanut butter and jelly bread pudding, and cream cheese-frosted banana carrot cake have all been known to make the rotation.

I wanted this list to cover fun, diverse ideas for Valentine’s Day, with an emphasis on “diverse.” I love getting dressed up with my girlfriend and going to fancy restaurants. I love prix-fixe meals prepared carefully by a thoughtful chef. I love the idea of attending a private pop-up Filipino dinner with new-to-me dishes like kinilaw ceviche. But I also absolutely love the idea of just grabbing some extra saucy pizza strips, a few fresh bakery calzones, and heading out on a too-chilly picnic to laugh with someone I love. Variety is the spice of life. There is no perfect Valentine’s Day. However, there is a perfect “pizza strip” and you can find it at Vienna Bakery in Barrington. Even though it’s more of a square, I am so sure of its perfection, that I’m willing to meet anyone who disagrees behind a Job Lot and settle this with a coffee milk drinking contest. Vienna Bakery not only makes delicious pizza strips, but also perfectly sized calzones with options like traditional meatball, buffalo chicken, and, of course, their classic spinach pie. They’re
about the size of your fist, so you don’t have to feel guilty grabbing two – or three, or four (because calories don’t count on Valentine’s Day, right?). Along with their savory options (which include their incredible stuffed eggplant pizza) Vienna Bakery pulls out all the stops for their beautiful Valentine’s sweet treats each year. Strawberry and chocolate mousse cake, red velvet whoopie pies, and their super rich chocolate-covered strawberries are all tantalizing, even to go. After you pick out all your baked goods, pull out of the Vienna parking lot, drive down County Road, bear right at Rumstick, and take a left on Chachapacassett. You will find yourself in the vicinity of Barrington Beach. Pull an old blanket out of your trunk, bundle up because it’s mid-February, have a seat with your favorite person, clutch those calzones, and just watch the waves crash on an empty beach. Taste the pizza strip. That’s amore.

Colorful Attitude A Newport condo is updated into a relaxing retreat It’s the classic love story set in the City by the Sea. Rob and Jo Anne Ferullo met one night at the Smoke House on Scott’s Wharf back in their 30s, got married at Castle Hill, and have returned to Newport each year since. “We rented every summer, and last year it was finally time to have a place of our own,” says Jo Anne. The couple decided on a condo for their second home within walking distance to Broadway to be close to its restaurants and shops, and the waterfront. “We loved the outside with all the original detail and the porch. The location was perfect.” One thing the couple doesn’t always agree on is how to decorate. Says Jo Anne, “Sometimes we have very different ideas and it is so helpful to have someone who can tie them together. Usually, we end up liking the same things when all is said and done.” The Ferullos began perusing Houzz.com, an online community connecting homeowners with professionals, including interior designers, and were always drawn to the “elegant coastal feel” of Kim Peterson of KEP Interior Designs in East Greenwich. Due to COVID restrictions, the first series of meetings was done using FaceTime and Zoom.

Want your home featured in The Bay? Email Elyse@ProvidenceOnline.com to learn more The first thing Peterson prescribed was opening up the condo, which she achieved by removing a solid stairway wall and installing a cable railing system and custom bannister in its place. Other switches included changing all light fixtures, adding a backsplash in the kitchen, and bringing in all new window treatments, which can be operated via remote control. “Kind of fun to push a button and have the room opened up and then closed up in one press!” says Peterson, who aimed to make this retreat as relaxing as possible for the Ferullos. Once the structural elements were in place, Peterson sought to outfit
spaces with furnishings ready for year-round comfort. In her signature style, most rooms begin with canvas-like walls framed by natural wood features and neutral trappings like barely-there shades, and then pow! – each area gets a bold splash of color in the form of a standout element – whether it’s a red sectional couch, bold accent wall, or lively patterned textile. Smaller spaces were also maximized with furniture that works double-duty like the master bedframe with built-in drawers for storage. “All furnishings are new and were selected and purchased to perfectly fill their space,” says Peterson. Jo Anne agrees, “This is why we have a designer!”
GET RHODY STYLE Tips and ideas for making your home a cozy retreat. HIRE LOCAL Love the cable railing system? Kim Peterson had it custom made and hired general contractors Tegan & Company, Inc. for the install and to rework the surrounding hardwood floors.

We like the bustle of the summer but also the quiet and calm of the winter,” says Jo Anne Ferullo. SHOP SPRING STREET “One shop that we’ve been to numerous times is Wald & Sea. Kim Wald does a terrific job of bringing in new work and always seems to have what we’re looking for!” says Jo Anne.

Storied Romance A local photographer shares her love of interesting architecture around the East Bay Julia Barber grew up in an old house – you know the kind – with an ongoing list of DIY repairs and marks on the wood trim from previous inhabitants. Reflecting, she says that with all its “nooks and crannies’’, her childhood home felt like a time capsule just for her to explore. Today she makes her home in a little triangle-shaped garret in Providence. An art and architecture historian, self-proclaimed consummate nerd, and photographer who still loves scouting old houses, she earned her PhD in the history of photography from Brown University in 2018, and says that ever since she’s been brainstorming ways to make that education accessible to a wider audience.
“So much of our cultural history – good and bad – is built into these structures, including systemic racism, class divides, and xenophobia, so for me, it’s not just about the beauty of the houses I find. In many ways, architecture is a useful lens to learn more about our history on a very personal level,” says Barber. While at Brown, Barber explains that she craved a creative outlet outside of academics and began taking long walks around the city to clear her head. “I began to notice door knobs and knockers and then broadened my focus to the many other details that tell the story of a house.” She created an Instagram account and named it Sea of Steps after a

1903 photograph by Frederick H. Evans of a stone staircase in England. “Other people seemed to appreciate my photographs and before long I was hooked on searching for and sharing the beauty around me.” At last count, “other people” numbered close to 16 thousand followers: an engaged group that enjoys regular posts like #MansardMonday and #TriangleTuesday along with near-daily uploads of colorful properties captioned with historical tidbits, information about features like gables and turrets, and her own musings. When she’s not traversing the entire state or nearby Massachusetts for subjects, Barber is busy at work writing a guide to old

SHINGLE STYLE, NEWPORT Although they can be found throughout the US, shingle style homes feel particularly rooted in New England to me. There’s something about a weathered cedar shake with Nantucket blue trim that’s an essential part of our vernacular architecture here.

homes titled How to Read a House. “The historian in me loves a perfectly preserved old house; the realist in me appreciates that old houses have to live in the present. These buildings are often prohibitively expensive to maintain to historic standards, and I’d always rather see a house lived in and loved than standing empty. At a time when our country is facing an unprecedented housing crisis, it is imperative that we invest in adaptive reuse strategies that allow old houses to serve the needs of today’s communities.”
Structural issues aside, when it comes to aesthetics, Barber loves “an outrageous Queen Anne house: towers, decorative woodwork, stained glass, and a paint color scheme that shows off all the intricate details.” She is also drawn to houses mid-renovation where passersby can witness a homeowner thoughtfully restoring the structure one part at a time. “The stretch of 114 running through Warren and Bristol has some extraordinary houses. Bonus points if it looks obviously haunted,” she says with a smile. @SeaofSteps
BARBER’S TIPS FOR LANDMARK STYLE “You absolutely can’t go wrong with an anchor-shaped door knocker in Rhode Island. For the more daring, there are knockers shaped like octopi, horseshoe crabs, and of course, Cthulhu. IMHO, the best way to give your home a Rhode Island sense of place is to direct visitors there using only businesses that have been closed for 20+ years as landmarks.”

You have lived and taught all over the US and the world including Namibia and The Netherlands. What brought you to Rhode Island? I came to Rhode Island to start my PhD at Brown University. I am a student in the Theater Arts and Performance Studies program. I made some good friends here very quickly so I felt comfortable almost immediately. I like the communities that I’m part of here, like my youngest daughter’s school community on the South Side, the other graduate students at Brown, and the artists I’ve met. Your most recent work, children’s book Layla’s Happiness, was awarded the Ezra Jack Keats Honor for writing, a prestigious award given to writers and illustrators whose work reflects diversity. In a year like 2020, did this achievement have a special significance – personally, culturally? Being awarded the Ezra Jack Keats honor for writing means a great deal to me, not so much because of the devastating year we just had but because of my journey. I’ve been writing for over 20 years. I had three books published before Layla’s Happiness. They all were well received, but even if you put those books together they would not match the reach of Layla’s Happiness. The Ezra Jack Keats honor meant that my work was being seen and being recognized in a way that had not happened before. As much as I’d like to pretend I don’t care about having my work acknowledged, the honor touched me. Now I feel like my journey has been useful in some way.

As a poet, writer, educator, student, and wife and mom, you are someone with many balls in the air, any tips for finding balance? I often say I don’t balance them. My goal is to be present in whatever I do. Also I’ve had a lot of support. My parents supported my dreams of being a writer early. They used to go to all my poetry readings in New York. My mother used to proofread my cover letters and poems before I sent them out to journals, contests, and residencies. Now my husband is a great encouragement. He often sees possibilities where I don’t and he is always telling people about my work. The point is no artist is an island; community makes my work possible and it makes it worthwhile. What are some of your favorite local places? Going to the beach has really helped me through some stressful times. We went to Barrington Beach a lot last summer. My husband and I also like to go on nature walks with our five-year-old daughter. He picks places and we go and walk on trails. I am not a hiker but as a New Yorker, I love walking. And being able to walk in the forest is perfect. Learn more at EkereTallie.com

The Gem of Confections Classic macarons from The Perfect Sweet Shoppe will help break the ice this Valentine’s Day They come in small boxes, they’re perfectly shaped, and one can choose from an infinite number of stunning colors. Macarons really are the jewelry of the confectionary universe. Even if you’re not yet ready for the small box, macarons make a perfect gift on the day we celebrate love. At The Perfect Sweet Shoppe, owner Tracy C. Woodard has chosen a muted, elegant palette of quintessential heart-day hues for their holiday macaron offerings. All shells and fillings are lovingly handmade and include the classic almond shell with vanilla or strawberry buttercream filling. Woodard then puts a modern spin on the tradition with flavors like red velvet filled with cream cheese frosting. For the ultimate Valentine cookie, Woodard has gone all out: chocolate filled with a gooey circle of handmade caramel and a luscious center of dark chocolate ganache. No one says that sharing these is mandatory, but with their buy-five-get-one-free macaron deal and even some vegan versions available, consider gifting these to your significant other, parents, BFFs, or even the person who delivers your groceries (admit it – you’ve been a little in love with at least one delivery person this past year). Pre-order for pickup or delivery at least a week in advance. Warren, ThePerfectSweet.com | By Ann O’Neill Photo courtesy of The Perfect Sweet Shoppe The Bay • February 2021 37

Shaken Not Stirred The virtues of attending a virtual mixology workshop Zoom log-ins. Based in Rhode Island, Messina was among thousands in the tourism industry put on furlough due to COVID-19; she most recently managed a large portfolio for Marriott’s Luxury brands. It was during her downtime that she thought about her own skills, her wide network of talented connections, and the realization that nothing quite like this type of packaged service delivered remotely seemed to exist. “I had always wanted to start my own business,” says the cheerful Messina. “I’m excited to leverage my hospitality background and the passion of my furloughed industry colleagues to curate virtual experiences that connect individuals with professionals to
create engaging and sophisticated gatherings from the comfort of home.” Next, I received a confirmation email with an attached PDF of clear instructions formatted like an elegant menu of what I would need to do to prepare. There was a shopping list of simple items like sugar and honey, lemons and limes, English cucumber, and fresh mint. There were recipes for making simple syrups the night before the workshop, details about our instructor – a noted mixologist and author – even best Zoom settings for participation. One afternoon, Aviation Gin and a six-pack of ginger beer arrived at my doorstep. I emailed Messina directly with questions and a panicked

“Want to attend a cocktail party?” the email began. “It’s virtual.” Even as someone who admittedly loves breaking plans as much as making plans, this invite was intriguing. How does something like this work in a pandemic? I don’t even know how to make a cocktail. I don’t have fancy glasses or a muddler, jigger, or that crazy strainer thing that looks like a Slinky. But, I accepted the invite and as instructed, provided my address. Turns out this was more than a party but a cocktail crafting workshop, and the premiere offering by Damaris Messina to launch her new business, YAY Concierge, where she packages at-home experiences complete with instructors, instructions, supplies, and
“I don’t have a shaker!” and she promptly responded with, “Don’t worry, Tupperware is fine!” The day of the event, I cleared a space on a table in my home office for my laptop and a little space to the side for mixing and muddling (using an iced tea spoon). In lieu of cocktail glasses, I grabbed canning jars. In typical Zoom fashion, we all joined in one by one, said our hellos, and “met” Messina and our instructor Marshall Altier. Soon, all eyes were on Altier in his Las Vegas workspace leading us through the steps, all of us with our volumes on, giggling and joking our way through mixing three cocktails: Bee’s Knees, the East Side, and a Gin Gin Mule. Suddenly the hardware trappings faded and it didn’t feel as much like me sitting in my home office shaking drinks in jars; it felt like getting tipsy with a group of friends. The best part: no designated driver required. This month, find details on a chocolate tasting event, held virtually on Friday, February 12. Visit YAYConcierge.com for details.

The big cheese in Tiverton
New DEM website feature perfect or finding local fish
Your neighborhood cheese shop in Tiverton Four Corners has grown, doubling its footprint but not detracting any from its homey atmosphere. The Cheese Wheel Village Market is a family-owned staple known for not only their selection of quality cheeses, meats, and deli products, but also a commitment to sharing their expertise in fine charcuterie fixings with anyone who visits. Now, owners Bill and Diana Bothelo will be able to expand their collection of specialty – and often local – goods with a larger retail floor to allow for a streamlined experience and more space for coolers. The expansion comes just in time for mid-winter cravings. “In addition to the homemade soups, chowders, and stews we’ve been making, we will also have some marinated meats ready to take home and prepare as well as several other dishes that will be ready to heat, cook, and serve,” Diana explains. “What we carry and prepare will be driven by our customers and the season. We’ve got several ideas that we’ll be starting with but ultimately we’re willing to try anything and keep what works.” Tiverton, TheCheeseWheelRI.com
The RI Department of Environmental Management’s SeafoodRI.com website now puts enthusiasts even closer to the catch with a weekly updated landings page. The new feature makes it easier to have fresh seafood, just landed by local fishermen, served up for dinner in a splash. Under the “For Consumers” tab, see what kinds of fish, lobsters, and crabs came up in the latest haul and then find retailers – whether directly off the boat from fishermen or local markets and restaurants – carrying the variety you’re hankering for, from butterfish and fluke to classic quahogs. For the abundance of fish harvested right here in Rhode Island, you might be surprised by the amount of seafood that’s imported to meet the demands for popular species in our restaurants and markets. Wakefield-based organization Eating with the Ecosystem partnered with DEM and the RI Seafood Marketing Collaborative to help increase awareness of local seafood retail with the new landings webpage. The only thing closer to the catch is reeling the line in yourself. SeafoodRI.com

Rejects Beer Co. sidled into its Aquidneck Avenue digs in December once the finishing touches were made on the taproom, which owner Leigh Kirmil describes as “industrial garage meets casual vintage wood-paneled basement from the ‘80s – with a water view.” The name shouldn’t drive you away from their quality craft brews – “Rejects” refers both to the beach off of Ocean Drive in Newport and the counterculture way of life the brewery embraces. “We love our slowly developing strip near the beach,” Kirmil explains, “and the fact that you can stare out at Easton’s Pond, sipping an ice-cold beer after a long day of surfing, skating, or whatever, without all the craziness of downtown Newport.” Watch for the surprisingly crushable Mole Stout along with plenty of flavorful brews, like a blackberry vanilla kettle sour and winter warmer barley wine, in the works from brewer Justin Tisdale. Kirmil recommends their popular 12 O’Clock High, a New England-style IPA: “The name is based on a local cliff diving spot some still take their chances on.” Middletown, RejectsBeerCo.com
