FabNewport is a community agency with a mission of empowering students by “learning, making, and doing.” In addition to the golf program, they run after-school and summer activities, including classes in coding and Jóvenes Creativos – a bilingual maker program giving Spanish-speaking students exposure to careers in design, business, STEAM, and teaching.
A Newport program makes golfing accessible to youth across Aquidneck Island

A unique opportunity on Aquidneck Island, FabGolf is encouraging young athletes to take a swing at a sport they may not ordinarily be exposed to. Director Orlando Peace designed the program, which is sponsored by FabNewport, to bring the sport of golf to children of color in the area.
Teeing Up Young
Peace hopes to include more youth in the program, too. “We’re having conversations with the YMCA and Newport Parks and Rec reation and will hopefully spread it out across the whole island.” He expects numbers to grow to about 150 kids from ages five through high school. And it’s not just golf. “They get a lot of life skills and a career path,” adds Peace.
“We joined up with Newport Indoor Golf. We use simulators where we work on put ting and chipping. We also introduce kids to jobs in the golf business, which is an 84 billion dollar a year industry. The kids work with 3D printing, coding, and designing.”
It’s been a blessing,” says Peace. “We get a lot of support from di erent community agencies, including Salve Regi na Community Service Program, led by Kel ly Powers, who has four boys in the Jr. PGA program. Our local Kiwanis Club has stepped up, Newport Prevention Coalition, and more,” notes Peace. “Most of the kids don’t have clubs; they don’t have golf shoes. We’ve had a lot of people donate these things.”
The program has grown in popularity, and now includes a year-round component.
“We’re also looking to build a training facility but we need land – we got a lot of people out there looking.” To learn more about FabGolf, visit FabNewport.org

Peace, who serves on several communi ty service boards in the Newport area, has worked with youth throughout the region for over 25 years. He proposed the idea to his golfing partner and executive direc tor of FabNewport, Steve Heath. “He and I made an old-school deal underneath a bas ketball net in a gym,” explains Peace. “I told him about my idea and he said ‘let’s start it.’ We started with about 15-20 kids and now we have close to 80.” FabGolf calls the Green Valley Country Club in Portsmouth home. The course of fers kids the full experience, with 18 holes, a driving range, and putting greens. The club also hosts a Jr. PGA tournament, where the young golfers compete against other area clubs. Members and staff at Green Valley have received the program warmly. “We needed access to a golf course,” explains Peace. “Those guys have been the best. Ron Raposa, the owner, and staff love see ing the kids coming out to the golf course.
“I didn’t see any kids who looked like me playing golf,” says Peace. “Golf is a pretty lucra tive business; you hardly see any kids of color actually playing.” He wanted to change that.

Democrats running for RI governor start turning up the heat
With Rhode Island edging into what is ex pected to be the first heat wave of summer – and with just weeks until the September 13 primary election – the Democratic candidates for governor are turning on the jets.
The current fight for the state’s top job has so far featured few of the issue-oriented campaign events typical of years past. It’s not really clear if that’s due to COVID fatigue or other reasons.
Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, one of five major Democratic candidates, staged a news conference outside the Statehouse [in July] to call on Gov. Dan McKee to do more to extend abortion coverage for women on Medicaid or who have the state employee insurance plan. Without specifying particular actions, Gorbea called for McKee to be more force ful on the issue.
“I’m calling on all of my colleagues that are running for governor to stand firmly and to put pressure on the governor to exercise leadership and make sure that women in Rhode Island are able to exercise their right to choose whether or not to have an abortion and not be limited by financial reasons,” Gorbea said in an interview.

A recent Boston Globe poll suggested a tight race in the Democratic primary for governor between McKee, Gorbea, and former CVS Health executive Helena Buonanno Foulkes. Buonanno Foulkes called on McKee in May to do more to expand abortion coverage. She also went on the air immediately after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade to propose a regional coalition of states in strong support of abortion rights, McKee’s campaign called Gorbea’s criticism an attempt to grab headlines. An executive order signed by McKee earlier this month would shield women who seek reproductive health services here from legal liability in other states. But the coverage gap cited by Buonanno, Foulkes, and Gorbea has persisted despite

McKee became governor last year when his predecessor, Gina Raimondo, landed the job as US Commerce secretary. In another sign of a new stage in the race, McKee’s campaign unveiled its first TV commercial.

the introduction of bills meant to close it for the last three years – and that’s a sore point for many supporters of abortion rights. Legislative leaders have signaled the issue may get more attention when the next General Assembly session starts in January. (Rhode Island adopted a law in 2019 to ensure abortion rights.)
Two other Democrats, Matt Brown and Luis Daniel Munoz, are among the oth er candidates running for governor, and they’ve registered in the single digits in polls. There is also an Independent candi date, Zachary Hurwitz, who qualified for the ballot, according to the secretary of state’s o ce. The winner of the Democratic primary is expected to square o against Republican businesswoman Ashley Kalus in the November general election. Ian Donnis can be reached at idonnis@ripr.org

McKee’s 90-something mother, Willa, wearing oversized sunglass es, gets a co-starring role while helping to burnish his record on issues like the accel erated phase out of the car tax (a move led by the legislature), new investment in a ordable housing and the passage of laws imposing new restrictions on guns. “Not bad for a year and a half,” McKee quipped. To which Willa retorted, “Not bad for a governor that lives with his mother!” Gorbea and Buonanno Foulkes have al ready been advertising for weeks. Gorbea touts her record in the secretary of state’s o ce, while Buonanno Foulkes points to her management experience with a cor poration, CVS Health, with a much bigger budget and many more employees than the state of Rhode Island.

Recently, Los Duderinos released a mu sic video that encapsulates the close-knit, inside-joke community that orbits Pour Judgment. Their funky, jammy organ-domi nated track, “Something Else,” captures the band in their element at their hometown bar. The song showcases a once-around of solos that shows each member in their el ement, comfortable and truly enjoying the music they create.

“I’m speaking a bit here for [guitarist] At ticus [Allen] since he produced the video and it’s his original tune,” says Passafiume. “The process definitely helps you solidify specific parts of the song and forces you to make some concrete decisions. We mic’d the bar from front to back to capture the aura of our spot. There were literally mics
The summer crowds of Newport might come and go each season, but the band Los Duderinos isn’t there for that. Once a week at Pour Judgment, they’re around for the“We’velocals.been the PJ’s band for about 10 years or so,” says Los Duderinos drum mer Dave Passafiume, Jr. “Though we do play around New England and have toured from Maine to Virginia and points between, we’ve played in Newport at least weekly for a long time. It does feel special to survive the ebb and flow of the music scene and maintain a fan base that has supported and made possible such a long residency. We truly get to know a lot of the fans. There’s no physically separate stage, so we’re right there with these people each week.”
Over the years, Los Duderinos have fea tured a revolving lineup that has played a mix of covers and originals. The latest music for “Something Else” seems to mark a small shift in the long history of the Newport resi dence in the permanence of the group.
Los Duderinos performs at Pour Judgement (32 Broadway, Newport) on Sundays at 10pm.
What remains constant, no matter the line up, is the way Los Duderinos seems to tran scend being simply a band. Maybe it’s the location, maybe it’s the residency, or may be it’s just the o -season, coastal cool they carry themselves with, but it’s clear that Los Duderinos are more than just entertainment.

“It might be a lifestyle, but I think that may have come before the band and the band embodies that,” says Passafiume. “Having a fun shared experience with not much of a boundary physically and emotionally, for better or worse, definitely results in something special.”
You can check out Los Duderinos’ video, “Something Else,” on YouTube and be sure to make the pilgrimage to Aquidneck at least once this summer. As for what to do while you’re there, take it from a local. “You can’t go wrong with brunch at Cor ner Cafe or Stoneacre or Pour Judgment,” Passafiume recommends. “I hit the beach in Newport or Jamestown, come back to town for a drink on a rooftop or on the water. On Sundays, I’ll check out Fastnet for the weekly folk/traditional session to see friends play and warm up with some beers before loading in at PJ’s for the 10pm residency.”

DRAW, DRAW, DRAW: In studying sculpture, there was a high emphasis on drawing. If you can’t draw the sculpture, how can you expect to make it? You need to get the idea out of your brain onto paper and then into a 3D object, which I always found interesting. I think building your portfolio, really becoming an artist first and having lots of experiences, like working for my friend, made me stronger because the work is hard.

Aly Cat Sunshine’s deep appreciation for ob serving and rendering nature in her art stems from living for six years on and o a sailboat moored in the Warren harbor. When she dis covered a commercial rental in Middletown with panoramic views of the beach, she knew it would be the perfect spot to open her own tattoo business, aptly named Secret Beach Tat too. A 2006 Mount Hope High School gradu ate, Sunshine (then known as Aly Rego) began her journey to becoming a licensed tattoo artist when she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art. She worked in related arts fields for a while, but after spending a year caring for a 25-year-old friend who had been diagnosed with ALS, the unpredictability of life motivated her to make her dream of becoming a tattoo artist a reality. She landed an apprenticeship at a local tattoo parlor, where for six years she learned the craft while juggling other jobs. Sunshine took the leap and started her own business last Decem ber. No longer living on the water, the now War ren homeowner and newlywed harbors a deep appreciation for running hot water. She also recently made her tattoo artist moniker o cial and Aly Cat Sunshine became her legal name. SecretBeachTattoo.com
NURTURING THE DREAM: When I was kid, there was a show called The Adventures of Pete & Pete on Nickelodeon. One of the characters was around age 10 and got a tattoo on his arm. I was obsessed with it. I got my first tattoo at age 19. Life is epically chaotic and short and you have to find your happiness and joy even though sad things happen. When I was caring for my friend with ALS, I decided I needed to do my tattoos. It would be my therapy to get through that time in my life.
THE STORIES: As a tattoo artist, you get to hear the stories behind the tattoos – things you would never imagine. I can get emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted at the end of the day if it’s a heavy one. I am a wall that you can talk to, and I transfer the energy into the tattoo; that’s the healing part.
TATTOO 101: In Rhode Island, the health de partment is in charge of regulating the tattoo business. You have to work for a licensed tat too artist who is a mentor and who will take you on. You need to prove that you are ded icated and have the art skills to make it. The first 10-20 tattoos you do are possibly free. I was working at The Beehive Cafe at the time, and I had a lot of coworkers who said “sure” to getting a tattoo. My first was a slice of veggie pizza on a foodie friend.
INSPIRATION: The first rental space place I looked at was the most beautiful spot. It’s a sec ond-story space with giant windows overlook ing the reservoir, Cli Walk, and First Beach. I see blue herons, bald eagles, and osprey. It feels like you are on a ship. It was the sign I needed that it was time to go for it and open my busi ness. Being in that space has been so powerful, watching the wildlife while I work. My clients love it, too.

“Our wood-fired oven reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees, cooking pizza in five minutes with a thin, crispy crust,” explains Fritz. Before dishing artisanal pies, Fritz cut his teeth working at high-volume pizza restaurants. Now, he and an equally passionate staff let customers choose from a wide variety of toppings – from buffalo sauce or balsamic glaze to fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, jalapeños, and more – and cook up each custom creation on the spot. Tried-and-true favorites also include a fig pizza with arugula, goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey, or sandwich-inspired Philly Cheesesteak and Meatball Parm.

Traveling the Ocean State with a pizza oven in tow – most often posting up at breweries and farmers markets – W’s Wood Fired Pizza isn’t your typical food truck. When chef and owner William Fritz, freshly out of Johnson & Wales University, acquired a copper-covered wood-fired oven, he took it as a sign and started bringing fresh pies to the people.

“For private events, we have more to offer from our oven, including chocolate chip cookies and fresh-cut curly fries,” says Fritz, who aims to bring the ultimate pizza experience for thin-crust enthusiasts. Though the best way to try a slice is to follow the oven: W’s has been known to pop up at Twelve Guns Brewing in Bristol and will make appearances at Hope & Main September 7 and 18, along with other statewide spots.

“A clambake wedding creates a local and casual feel that’s very memorable for guests attending, especially if they have never expe rienced a clambake,” says McGrath, explaining that their event packages are fully customiz able. “A lobster baked in a clambake has a very distinct flavor and texture. The slow cooking process is similar to slow cooking a pot roast where the meat falls apart and is very tender and has a bit of a smoky flavor.” Di erent bakemasters have di erent indica tors of when the bake is done. Yawgoo Bakes judges by checking a test potato – and once it’s ready, guests can dig into steamers and mussels served with melted butter. Their sta split and cut lobster claws for easier access. Tradition often dictates the ringing of a bell to open the bake, which McGrath Clam bakes upholds. The bell tolls. Guests gath er for the unveiling. “The layers of canvas are peeled away,” says McGrath. “Billows of steam rise from the bake, along with a surge of delicious aromas.” Followed by “oohs” and “ahhs,” the feast begins.
Quintessential clambake catering experiences bring an Ocean State tradition to private events
22 The Bay • September 2022 If an authentic clambake is on the itinerary of your late-summer soiree or Labor Day get-to gether, chances are good a few members of the catering team are out on the water while you and your guests are getting ready in the morning.
The canvas is removed, signaling the start of a McGrath Clambake feast
“The bubbles in the rockweed burst when heated, emitting seawater that steams and seasons the food,” McGrath continues. “At this point, the bakemaster works very quickly to capture as much heat as possible under the canvas.” Racks of food – artfully layered to ensure ideal cooking times and balanced fla voring – are expertly nestled inside and cov ered with layers of canvas.
The whole process is part of a New En gland tradition dating back centuries. “A hot rock clambake is a unique experience,” says Lin Patty, event coordinator of Yawgoo Bakes and Barbecues, an Exeter company that trav els. “Many cultures have some kind of spe cialized cooking process involving hot rocks.
“A traditional old-fashioned clambake pro cess begins early in the day when we send our crews out to pick fresh rockweed, a dark green seaweed that contains bubbles filled with saltwater,” says event and o ce man ager Melissa McGrath of McGrath Clambakes & Catering, based in Newport. She describes the care that goes into building the bonfire with alternating layers of wood and rock, tending the fire to achieve a bed of very hot coals and rocks, and covering the base with mounds of rockweed – all unfolding at your venue while festivities take place.
Hot O the Rocks
For many businesses, it’s a family tradition, too. Now in the hands of third-generation bakemaster T.R. McGrath, McGrath Clam bakes has been in business for 53 years, con tinuing on the tradition of bakes and lobster boils while also expanding to include other catering o erings. Yawgoo Bakes, founded by Pat Murray in 1961, remains a family-oper ated business to this day with her grandson Andy Patty now a bakemaster.

Bristol New shack for casual Middletown faves Newport’s “Rivalry” continues into fall
The summer mashup of Diego’s and Wharf Southern Kitchen was a placeholder until owner Scott Kirmil could begin construc tion on his new concept: Wharf Pub Fish House.

Plant-based chef Peter Carvelli – who has a day job as an attorney – launched his cook ing career hosting a series of plant-based pop-ups pre-pandemic at Vinya’s Test Kitchen, Twelve Plants, in Providence, and later hosting Friday night dinners at Root in Newport. His o erings proved popular, selling out each month, so the Bristol res ident monitored the real estate listings for his first brick and mortar. Carvelli ended up finding a spot on State Street the Rhode Island way. “The person who cuts my wife’s hair cuts the hair of somebody who knew about this space,” he explains. Named Foglia, Carvelli’s focus is on Med iterranean dishes. The menu at the upscale farm-to-table restaurant changes weekly, depending on the produce available from nearby growers. With a full bar, Carvelli sources beer, wine, and spirits that use no animal products. He also plans to o er a five- to seven-course tasting menu, similar to his popular Providence pop-up menu.

While the Sailor Jerry (think, old school clipper ship tattoos) meets Polynesian fish house theme remains intact, “we’re going to make it a little crazier,” says Kirmil.
Owner Will Burgess, who started the eatery right out of college 12 years ago, says the old place was “burst ing at the seams.” Now nestled in the newly rebuilt Grange building on East Main Road, which underwent a gut renovation by J2 Construct, Bur gess and his team not only have more elbow room but an expanded menu and a liquor license to boot. Local food is the focus at Food Shack, but Burgess’ far-flung surf ing trips inspire its menu, with items like Ramen Loco Moco and Kalua Pig Sandwich, as well as a variety of fusion tacos. The vibe is more laid back than usual farm-to-table restaurants. “So much of the island is built around tour ism,” he says. “I grew up in Portsmouth. I wanted to make this for the locals.”
The Rivalry concept blended the menus from both eateries, while serving as a test ing ground for new recipes for the Wharf Pub. “We’re doing funky takes on tradi tional New England seafood, and test ing the waters with the raw seafood and higher-end plating,” he says. Well-received items like ceviche and scallop crudo will likely stay on the new menu. Rivalry con tinues its friendly competition through the fall before shutting down for renovations.

Just a bridge or a ferry trip away from New port is a burgeoning culinary destination on the bay – that’s right, we’re talking about Jamestown. After spending a day that turned into night at this underrated coastal town, we found an abundance of options to get your foodie fix. Here’s a taste of the date night adventure we elected.
After working up our lunchtime appetite, we settled into a cozy table at Narragan sett Cafe. Known locally as “The Ganny,” this spot has been a Conanicut Island sta ple since 1946 for quality pub fare, live mu sic, a relaxed atmosphere, and staff that make you feel as though you’re family.

SWEET SNACKS First stop was the Village Hearth Bakery & Cafe. The amazing wife-and-wife duo Stephanie and Lindsay Haigh are the owners and operators of this cute bistro, and they ooze passion about what they do. Scratch-made pastries, breads, sandwiches, and more, as well as local organic co ee from Dean’s Beans, are all created and curated with the utmost care. One step onto the ethereal property and we were immediately drawn to its charm. Secluded outdoor seating underneath a canopy of trees makes for the perfect in timate getaway, or a beautiful deck filled with private and communal seating options is perfect for friend groups. All of this is complemented by the aroma of freshbaked goods and coffee filling the air. We dined on a couple of delicious bites: avoca do on multigrain toast with all the garnish es and a breakfast sandwich with thick-cut bacon on a sweet Portuguese muffin. Then we grabbed some sweets and headed to Beavertail Lighthouse for a stroll, taking in the views of stunning Narragansett Bay.
When Cecelia Verta and Joseph Colon (both now in their 70s) learned that the downtown landmark was up for sale at the end of 2020, they were afraid that James town wouldn’t quite be the same without it. They set out to purchase the establish ment with the sole purpose of “keeping things the way they are,” they share, and to ensure there’s always “a safe place where

NEW NEIGHBOR Strolling through downtown Jamestown is a treat in itself; souvenir shops, house wares, and art galleries are all on hand. After a bit of shopping and watching the many sailboats in the harbor, we sauntered over for an early dinner at Beech, just steps away from The Ganny. Beech is a newcomer to Jamestown’s eclectic dining scene and aims to be an all-seasons gathering place built around a 150-year-old beech tree. If you’re familiar with the former Simpatico, the location is now the home of Beech, where you can find several romantic dining areas, including a lively outdoor bar and rooftop nicknamed “TheOperatingTreehouse.”partner Kevin Gaudreau and ex ecutive chef Eric Warren do a terrific job of showcasing the unique terroir of the region by using locally sourced produce and seafood to create imaginative yet familiar dishes. Because of the newness of Beech (we were lucky enough to be their first seated guests), we wanted to sample as much as possible. Highlights include the crispy fried Brussels sprouts with a green onion aioli and chili peppers; toasted clams with par mesan, oregano, and butter; and George’s Bank scallops with a lemon beurre blanc –we can’t stop thinking about this exquisite coastal risotto dish. A return trip to Jamestown may have to include a couple of repeat visits, but thank fully for us, there’s even more to explore along Narragansett Avenue that a single day out couldn’t contain.

A TRADITIONBYANNMARTINIPhotographybyElyseMajor For generations of East Bay potato farmers, it’s all in the family Grow g
Jason “Pete” Peckham in the potato field along Fogland Marsh Ferolbink is named for farmer Pete Peckham’s parents
W hen it comes to potato farms and farmers in Rhode Island, the premise behind the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon – that everyone can connect themselves to the actor through relationships with six other people – rings true. Except in the Ocean State, it’s Six Degrees of John Peck ham because most of the few potato farmers who grow spuds here can trace their lineage to him. Peckham was the Archbish op of Canterbury in the 1200s, and his descendants came to the Newport/Middletown area from England in the 1600s, where they became prominent landowners and prolific farmers, dig ging deep roots in the community.
Jason “Pete” Peckham is one such descendant. The 82-yearold has been growing potatoes since he was six and he’s never really wanted to do anything else. And who could blame him? His Ferolbink Farm in Tiverton is 300 acres along the east pas sage of Narragansett Bay. It’s been in the Peckham family since the 1940s and is named for his parents – his mother’s first name was Ferol and his father’s nickname was Bink. (On the subject of names, “Pete” is not Peckham’s name at all. “My sisters re named me when I was a baby,” he explains with a laugh, saying that they didn’t like his given name Jason, so Pete stuck for life.)
Peckham has been o ered millions for the farm time and again, both for its picturesque location among the salt marshes of Tiverton and its carbon-rich soil with water-holding capacity. But he’s always said no. “I enjoy working the fields and watching things grow,” he explains matter-of-factly.
There are seven types of potatoes: russet, red, white, yellow, blue, fingerling, and petite, and within those types there are mul tiple varieties. They are packed with minerals and every vitamin except A and D. With Rhode Island being the second-most “Irish” state after Massachusetts, many locals can trace roots back to ancestors who came here to escape the Irish Potato Famine in the 1850s. Potatoes are about as versatile as a food can get – that’s why the average American eats about 120 pounds of taters a year.
Peckham grows many things at Ferolbink, but potatoes are the star and the main crop is the Norwis variety – a soft, mild, yellow, all-purpose kind. Norwis potatoes were originally bred for use as Lay’s potato chips, the company Peckham grew for in the 1980s and ‘90s. He sold many tons to the Lay’s factory in Fall River, where it was referred to as their 657 potato. It’s pretty much the perfect variety for making mashed potatoes and French fries. “It’s flu y, so it absorbs the flavors of whatever you’re cooking it with,” he says.
Peckham in front of one of the farm’s tractors Red potatoes at Young Family Farm
Knowing the versatility of the Norwis and the fact that potatoes were one of Rhode Island’s larg est crops, back in 2009 Peckham and a few other potato farmers in Portsmouth, Little Compton, and Westport took a move out of Rhody Fresh Milk’s playbook, and began a potato cooperative, mar keting Narragansett Premium Potatoes – AKA the Norwis potato. They were sold directly to inde pendent supermarkets. Peckham also sells to lo cal schools and hospitals but is slowing his pace in recent years. “It costs about $3,000 to farm each acre of potatoes,” he says, making it one of the most expensive crops around, with the rising costs of labor, fertilizer, and other associated costs. Plus, harvesting potatoes is tough and dirty, he says.
Picking your own potatoes doesn’t say “family fun” the way, say, picking your own strawberries does.

Peckham’s nephew and niece, Tyler and Karla Young, did, however, start their Young Family Farm in a fashion that would make Martha Stewart proud: by selling their own strawberries in the front lawn of their Little Compton home. The couple purchased the land in the 1990s and their three daughters helped with those first years’ worth of fresh fruits and vegetables, growing a single table into an actual farmstand. Down the road a bit from Ferolbink Farm and close to a cous in’s Wishing Stone Farm, the Young family farms 300 acres of land, harvesting three seasons’ worth of berries, zucchini, corn, eggplant, squash, apples, and potatoes.
The Youngs grow roughly 20 potato va rieties over about 100 acres. Among those varieties, Norwis is the most prominent, just like at uncle Pete’s farm. Most of the Youngs’ Norwis potatoes are sent to a lo cal processor that peels and cuts them for restaurant use. Reds, yellows, and whites are shipped straight from the field to a fresh packer in Boston. Unlike many locally harvested vegetables and fruits, potatoes don’t come with the romance associated with a heaping container of blueberries or craggy heirloom tomatoes; they aren’t flying off the farmstand the way other produce might. Marketing them requires more work and cost, but spuds are still the Youngs’ jam. “I love growing potatoes,” Tyler Young says. “It’s an addiction.”

Start your day the Ferolbink Farm B&B way. Take a couple of large potatoes and slice them very thin, explains DeRego. Brown them, along with some thinly sliced onion, in a little oil in a pan. Layer them together into the buttered bottom of an oven-proof pan. Whisk a half dozen eggs in a bowl and pour the eggs over the potato/onion mixture. “Add whatever you want,” DeRego says, explaining that potatoes complement many flavors well, “like cheese, chives, or whatever.” Bake it at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Invert it onto a plate or board and “cut it like a pie.” DeRego says. “It’s great for a bunch of people and you can serve it alongside a salad or fruit.”

One of DeRego’s favorite activities is to cook on the beach. “We’ll get lobsters, clams, corn – all of it,” he says. “But it is the potatoes that people always rave about.” For this he uses small red whole potatoes. “Just go right down to the water and scoop up sea water. Throw the potatoes in and cook over a fire until they are very tender. Then drain them and leave them.” As they dry o a bit, the sea salt will form a salty outer crust on the potato that makes them addictive. “They are all anybody talks about,” he says with a laugh.
SURE, Julia Child elevated the humble potato with her Gratin Dauphinois recipe and McDonald’s made French fries a staple of the American fast-food diet. But Red Dory chef/owner Aaron DeRego says potatoes are best when they are treated lightly. Here are three treatments so simple, in fact, they don’t even require actual recipes.
CLAMBAKE POTATOES
FINGERLINGSMASHED POTATOES
“These are halfway between a roasted and boiled potato,” DeRego says. Take a pound of fingerlings and boil them in salted water until tender. Sautee a couple of cloves of chopped garlic and some rosemary in oil in a pan and carefully add the drained potatoes. “Gently crush them by pushing down on them” with a wooden spoon or fork. Let them brown well on one or both sides and top with salt and pepper. “Even served at room temperature, these are so great.”

A few years back, Pete Peckham opened a small bed and breakfast on his Tiverton property. The acres of farmland and salty breeze coming in from Narragansett Bay a short distance away create an almost Napa Valley-like atmosphere: just substitute po tatoes for grapes. Peckham’s son-in-law, Aaron DeRego, now the chef/owner of the Red Dory Restaurant in Tiverton, helped Peckham use his home crop in delicious ways, turning the potatoes into meals for the guests. Sure, B&B guests may love a glass of wine from grapes grown yards away, but a scrumptious Spanish frittata made with just-picked potatoes brings a lot of happiness, too, DeRego reasoned. And it was true. “Everyone should eat a potato every single day,” Peckham says. “I do. Baked or boiled and roasted – I get them in somehow.”

New co ee table book celebrates the timeless American luxury of Newport
The Bay • September 2022 41 Life & Style
Ruthie Sommers is an interior designer and painter. Her work has appeared in Town & Country , Veranda , House Beautiful , Architectural Digest , and many other magazines. She splits her time between Aspen; Goleta, California; and Newport, where she spends every summer.
Nick Mele is a lifestyle, fashion, commercial, and interiors photographer whose work has been featured in Town & Country , The New York Times , Vogue , Vanity Fair , and more, along with a roster of commercial clients such as Ralph Lauren, J. McLaughlin, and Lilly Pulitzer. Mele grew up in novelist Edith Wharton’s Newport house and divides his time between Newport in the summer and Palm Beach in the winter.

For quintessentially Newport experiences,
42 The Bay • September 2022 Life & Style HOME by Elyse Major Sommers met Mele when she was buying some of his photos at an art show. His aesthetic is often described as a “modern-day Slim Aaron” – a photographer known for capturing beautiful people in beautiful places. Sommers hired Mele for a photoshoot and shared her idea of showcasing everyday life inside glorious old Newport homes, but “shoot the unrenovated kitchens and decaying butler pantries that were servicing the houses just fine, outdated but functional.” The concept morphed into a book proposal which the pair shopped around, getting the green light from Vendome Press, a publisher of illustrated books.
“I’ve been taking photos during the sum mer in Newport for the better part of two decades, both for fun and work,” begins Mele. “I realized early on that there was something unique about the town and its people that set it apart from most sum mer resorts. A lot of the same families and homes have been here for generations. These families have a respect for tradition and a profound lack of pretense despite the large amount of wealth many of them possess. Having grown up here during the summers, I get to see and photograph a side of Newport that most people don’t.”
The result is A Newport Summer: Off Bel levue , a stunning collection of everyday life inside the grand Gilded Age houses that line Bellevue Avenue and top the city’s oceans ide cliffs. These homes remain largely un touched by contemporary renovation and taste, with family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation with Yan kee thrift. “We ran around Newport, asking, begging people to allow us into their lives,” Sommers shares.
Divided into months June, July, August, and September, A Newport Summer is composed of pairings of stunning images and text offering peeks into parties, lawn tennis matches, beach clambakes, and fam ily gatherings of the 1 percent.

To achieve a Newport sensibility, Sommers recommends embracing imperfections and owning your own style. “Whether it is on trend or not, the bravado and the hap piness of the homeowner trumps any furniture of pedigree or prov enance. Design-wise, make it com fortable for eight people at all times, add a game table, throw a bar in the living room with vintage soft drink floral napkins.”

For Sommers, it’s observing small moments: “Elderly friends share a giggle, sun set, tanned babies wrapped in towels, safe in their parent’s arms. Cooke House waiters racing around to serve people e ciently and kindly. Watching and listening to the hedge trimmers from Grasshopper [Landscaping Services] pruning our hedges as if they were painting a landscape – they are artisans, and the recipients of Newport get to be a part of the production daily.”
“To me, Newport is about community,” says Mele. “It’s all age groups commingling and socializing together. It’s about respect ing your history and having an appreciation for what’s come before. Not everything that is new and renovated is better. It’s curated chaos and timeless American luxury.” Want your home featured in The Bay? Email Elyse@ProvidenceOnline.comtolearnmore
For shopping around the City by the Sea, Mele lists Charter Books, CK Brad ley, Kristen Coates Gallery, Monelle, and Newport Lamp & Shade Com pany. Sommers adds Walker Interiors and Michael Hayes Newport to the list.
To eat, Mele’s go-tos are Bar ‘Cino, Bouchard’s, Castle Hill Inn, and Mama Luisa’s. For drinks, it’s Clarke Cooke House, the patio at The Black Pearl, the bar at The Brenton Hotel, and Cabana. Sommers’ favorites include Harvest for co ee, Power of Juice, and either Stoneacre establishment.

44 The Bay • September 2022 Life & Style INFLUENCER By Elyse Major Photo by Stephanie Bernaba, courtesy of Anika Denise Meet Anika Denise Barrington’s own phenomenal author prepares to release her latest – a children’s book on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
This month your latest book Phenomenal AOC: The Roots and Rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be released. Are there any special events planned with AOC for the book launch or tour?
Yes! The o cial launch will be hosted on Sep tember 10 by The Bronx is Reading, a nonprof it organization curating community literary events, book clubs, and festivals throughout the Bronx. Locally, I’ll be at Barrington Books for a hometown launch on September 17. You and your husband are among a cadre of children’s book author and illustrator all-stars living in Barrington. How did this sleepy community become such a hub of children’s literature talent? I think our close proximity to the Rhode Island School of Design, which has a renowned chil dren’s illustration program, has to be a factor. Beyond that, many of us are essentially free lance artists and writers, and while Barrington might not immediately leap to mind as a mec ca for the self-employed, it has great public schools, a charming town beach, and easy ac cess to anywhere in the state and beyond. Plus kid-lit folks tend to share resources and chat with one another. We ended up in Barrington after our friend Mary Jane Begin (author and il lustrator of Ping Meets Pang) moved here with her young family. As a city kid for most of my life, Barrington is the first place I’ve lived that doesn’t have sidewalks! But it has a beautiful sparkling bay at the end of our street. How did A Girl Named Rosita: The Story of Rita Moreno: Actor, Singer, Dancer, Trailblazer! come to be? Did you get to meet Ms. Moreno? Was it life-changing? I did meet Ms. Moreno, but interestingly, it was 10 years before I had the idea to write the book. I was visiting my aunt’s house in upstate New York the same week Rita was honorary chair of the New York City Ballet’s summer gala. A friend of our family worked for the venue hosting the gala and asked my aunt – who happened to have ac cess to a boat and a stunning lake view – to take Rita and her husband for a boat tour of the area. Since it was impromptu, I was entirely unprepared to meet one of my childhood idols while swim ming o the dock with my kids. I remember shak ing hands and blurting out an awkward, “I’m such a big fan, and so is my dad! We’re Puerto Rican!” Rita was kind and gracious, of course, but I did look back and wish I’d been more eloquent. Years later, when I pitched my publisher the idea of a picture book biography about her, I told them that story, and how I’d put into the book all the things I didn’t have the presence of mind to say in that starstruck moment. The truth is, Rita changed my life long before that day, by showing up proudly and authentically at a time when Latinos in Holly wood were mostly absent or misrepresented. What are some of your favorite East Bay destinations and why? Any given weekend, you are going to find me browsing (and my teenagers working) at Ink fish Books in Warren, and at Barrington Books. Inkfish is a true small-town gem with a beauti fully curated book selection and artisanal local ly made gifts. Barrington Books has everything – books, toys, gifts, and even vinyl. Our favorite farm-to-table eatery (hands-down) is Bywater in Warren. Visit their bakery window for delicious co ee and pastries in the morning and then loop back later for fresh oysters and tasty seasonal dishes on their lovely outdoor patio. One of our favorite hikes is the gorgeous Sachuest Point Na tional Wildlife Refuge in Middletown, a 2.4-mile oceanside nature trail where you can glimpse seals warming themselves on the rocks as waves crash and retreat in the distance. You are known for school visits – both virtual and in person. What is your favorite thing about talking with students and what do you hope they take away from your visit most? My favorite part about school visits and talking to students is when we get to create space to gether for creative writing, creative thinking, and whatever whacky fabulous idea they have in their brilliant little heads. One thing I often hear from teachers is that they don’t always have enough time in their schedules for open-ended creative writing. When I’m able to do a workshop that encourages students to honor and follow their curiosity, embrace imperfection, and see where it leads them, I’m always impressed and delighted by what comes up for them. I also love when I’m standing in front of a room of kids who look, sound, and have families like mine – and see themselves reflected back. What I most hope they take away from my visit is a sense that their ideas and voices are worthy. That they matter.

Little Compton’s popular historic tour returns with nine unique properties Architecture lovers in the East Bay know the Historic House Tour organized by the Little Compton Historical Society is a can’tmiss event this fall. Featuring nine historic properties, the tour explores the town’s rich architectural heritage, building on decades of research by dedicated sta and volunteers. The nine properties covered by the tour include the Kempton Clark House in Warren’s Point; Manton Property Archeological Dig on Mullin Hill Road; Samuel Church Mansion in Adamsville; Sea Bourne Mary House just south of Commons Road; and the Friends Meeting House, Mill House, Brownell Farm, Wunnegin, and Wilbor House Museum, all on West Main Road. A separate ticket allows visitors to attend a lavish brunch at Dancing Oaks in Pequahonk, a historic Little Compton horse farm featuring buildings dating back to the 1600s. Several of these properties are rarely open to the public, so the tour is a chance to see inside these pieces of Rhode Island history. One notable property to visit during the tour is painter Sydney Burleigh’s studio Peggoty, built on top of an abandoned catboat ferry salvaged by the artist – its keel sunk into dry land on the Burleigh family property. (If Burleigh’s name rings a bell, you might know him as one of the designers of the eye-catching halftimbered Fleur de Lys Studio on Thomas Street in Providence.)
HISTORIC HOUSE TOUR September 17 from 12-5pm, rain or shine. Tickets are available for purchase on the Historical Society’s website, LittleCompton.org, by phone, or at the door for a small additional fee.

Visitors can also enjoy the Historical Society’s two long-term exhibitions, “Everyone Was a Farmer,” which explores agricultural history in the area, and “Terra Nova, Vita Nova,” covering the Portuguese community in LittleAugmentingCompton.

the tour is the release of a new book by the Historical Society, The Stories Houses Tell: A Second Collection of Little Compton House Histories . The book is the result of intensive research undertaken by volunteers and staff into the Historical Society’s properties, yielding previously overlooked stories and intriguing historical tidbits about the inhabitants and worshipers. Visitors seeking more information about these extraordinary properties should consider attending the lecture “How to ‘Read’ a Historic Building,” given by Clark Schoettle, historic preservationist and executive director of the Providence Revolving Fund. The talk will be held at the Little Compton Community Center on September 1, and will also be live-streamed via Zoom. See LittleCompton.org/events for more information.
