The Look of Fall We’ve put away our beach towels and traded our lemonade for cider; fall is here, and we couldn’t be more excited to reach into our closets and unearth the stored sweaters and boots that we have missed ever-so-much. This month, we take a trip to The Tower at Carnegie Abbey in Portsmouth for a fabulous fall fashion photo shoot that takes glamour and elegance to the next level. From rocking the stunning feather-covered dress on our cover to posing demurely in a red dress fit for a
lady, our model (and former Miss USA contestant) Amy Diaz shows us what’s trending right now on the runway. So sit back with some mulled cider or a delicious cup of pumpkin spice coffee and enjoy as we celebrate a very stylish October.

Rock Out in Seekonk… eaT WeLL
It’s Johnny Cakes Season The autumn season is all about food – apple pies, pumpkin scones, mashed butternut squash and, of course, Johnny Cakes. While there are many statewide events this month where you can go to enjoy some there’s no better way to taste some old fashioned cornmeal treats than to head to Gray’s Daily Grind. Created in an old room where corn was once shelled for Gray’s Grist Mill, it’s now a café offering loads of charm as well as food and drink. In addition to specialty coffees,
dream has finally come to fruition, and not just on the silver screen. But unlike the 2003 comedy, the School of Rock in question staffs professionally trained teachers, offers five different programs of study and has a nod of approval from Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider, whose daughter attended the school in Long Island. This performance-based music school has opened 69 locations in the United States and Mexico, now including one in Seekonk. Teaching guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards and drums, the school runs on a basic philosophy: one-onone lessons plus real band experience. That’s right, kids form groups (bands) and perform for both peers and the local community, building skills and confidence in the young rockers. That’s what owner Phil Martelly and general manager (or “prin-
12
the Bay | October 2012
cipal”) Mike Weber are all about: a commitment to the local community and local music scene. From beginner’s Rock 101 to the advanced Artist Development program, there is always something happening at School of Rock. Talented youth can audition for the All-Stars program, a prestigious honor which allows the best of the best to tour for the entire summer and play alongside big names. (In the past, SOR All-Stars have shared the stage with Alice Cooper, Eddie Vedder and KT Tunstall, just to name a few.) Weber ensures that School of Rock students “get to feel that rush of being on a big stage in front of hundreds, maybe thousands of people cheering them on.” Now that’s not your typical music class. 1295 Fall River Avenue, Seekonk. 508-557-0213, www. s e e ko n k . s c h o o l o f r o c k .co m . -Emily Payne

Shopping with Sole Jamiels Shoes, the near fifty-year old footwear retailer in Warren, gave us a scare when it closed its doors this past April. With a year full of rumors and reports of closing businesses, we are pleased to report that Jamiels is reopening its doors as Savon-Jamiels Shoe World. Customers can expect a fresh and enlarged inventory with a focus on kids footwear and popular brands such as Nike, UGGS, Clark’s and more. No official date yet (they’re saying sometime in October), but we do know that Francis Jamiel, former president of the company, has agreed to stay on as manager of the store - so shoppers can expect a familiar face. Take that, economy! –Don Previe

Fun is on the Rise This year the folks at Tiverton Four Corners are celebrating Columbus’ infamous landing with the Balloon Bash Columbus Day Weekend Celebration, ensuring your long weekend is especially enjoyable. Happening October 6 and 7 from 10am-5pm, the event invites guests to pop prize-filled balloons stuffed with goodies from local retailers, offering an opportunity to experience the thrilling excitement of plundering into the unknown for loot and riches. Christopher Columbus would be proud. Four Corners is asking for a $1 donation per balloon popped, with all proceeds to benefit the Tiverton Food Pantry. The historic Tiverton Four Corners recently celebrated their 300th anniversary. 3852 Main Road, Tiverton. 401-624-2600, www. tivertonfourcorners.com. –Dale Rappaneau

Warm Coats, Warm Hearts Although we’re just beginning to enjoy fall, winter is around the corner. To ensure that all children stay warm, Aquidneck Chiropractic and Sakonnet Chiropractic are hosting a Coats for Kids coat drive. From October 22-26, new patients at either office can exchange a new or gently used clean coat for free first day services. If existing patients donate a coat, they can receive free adjustments on October 23 at Aquidneck or October 24 at Sakonnet. At the end of the drive, the Florence Grey Center and Lucy’s Hearth will distribute the coats to kids in need. “With today’s economy, the need for kids’ coats is greater than ever,” says
Dr. Donovan, who encourages those interested to contact either office to make an appointment. One coat could mean a world of difference to any of Rhode Island’s troubled children.

One stop shopping for all-natural beauty products in Bristol
Photography: Amy Amerantes
Living in downtown Bristol, I had watched with excitement as the empty storefront at the corner of Hope and Bradford showed new life. Signs in the windows indicated that it was to be a “natural eco-chic beauty” boutique called Zenabelle, which only piqued my interest further. Ever since I entered my 30s, I have become more aware of ingredients in the things I put on, in, and around my body; I’ve found it difficult, however, to locate a one-stop shop for all my natural beauty product needs. Incidentally, that’s exactly the dilemma that led fellow Bristol resident Deborah Ventrice to open the store. While my interest in product ingredients stems solely from my desire to be closer to nature with the goods I use and consume, for Deborah it was her lifelong sensitivity to chemicals. Once the owner of her own interior design consulting business in the East Bay, she would turn her kitchen into a veritable lab on the weekends, concocting products from ingredients that wouldn’t irritate her skin. That proved to be time-consuming and ultimately, only beneficial to her-
self. Deborah was passionate about widening the availability of safe, non-toxic beauty products: “I wanted to open a place for people to find products that are good and healthy and pure,” she says. Nestled among the shops, restaurants, salons and studios on Hope Street, Zenabelle boasts a fresh, modern interior, but still fits in nicely among the town’s historic architecture. Deborah has a degree in Interior Design and Historic Preservation from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and just as she and her husband fell in love with Bristol as a place to live after leaving Manhattan, she was drawn to the town’s support for small, local businesses when choosing her boutique’s location. Zenabelle has a welcoming environment much like Bristol itself, which is very important to Deborah. “When people come to shop, I want them to enjoy themselves,” she says. There’s a sample bar for that very reason, so customers can “try any of the products - touch, feel, smell, see exactly what they do.” Deborah
and her staff are extremely knowledgeable about all the products sold, including makeup, skin care, body care, hair care, baby care - and even products for men. As consumers, it’s not often that we are privy to the inspiration behind the brands we use, but since Deborah personally researched each product line she carries, she can tell you the detailed back-stories of most of the brands. “Many of our brands are small, women-owned businesses that just care deeply about creating safe, gentle products,” she says. Beyond its product offerings, Zenabelle provides makeup application services for wedding or other special events. On a philanthropic level, Deborah and her team give complimentary “Meaningful Makeovers” to breast cancer patients at local centers on a regular basis. As for the name Zenabelle, it’s what came to Deborah when she was trying to put the concept of her boutique into words: “It’s all about Zen-ful beauty, and Zenabelle just captured that perfectly.” Indeed, it does. 573 Hope Street, Bristol. 401396-9603, www.zenabelle.com.

Second Helpings
Forgotten Treasures
A Bristol consignment shop is chock-full of unique finds Sometimes you are just looking for that perfect piece to finish a room and can’t seem to find it at the big chains. Sometimes the hidden gems have to be sought out by digging through junk at yard sales or searching your grandmother’s basement. The process can leave a shopper weary. The beauty of furniture consignment is that someone with a keen eye is sorting through the junk for you, and what you are left with is a shop filled with only the best items. At Second Helpings in Bristol you will see just that in their selection of furniture as well as household goods, antiques, architectural pieces, depression glass, chandeliers, records, books and much more. With an ever-rotating stock, there is plenty to see and purchase every time you visit. Owner Mary Tabor Tormey has been in business for nine years after losing her accounting job. Tired
of the office grind, she found something much more satisfying in consignments. She describes her shop as a “fun experience with great music and helpful and pleasant people.” She says that the overall experience can sometimes take you back in time – you see an item that you maybe hadn’t seen since you were in your grandmother’s kitchen as a child. To consign at Second Helpings, anyone can call the morning of and come in Wednesday through Saturday from 10-11:45am and 2-4:45pm. Each consigner can bring up to 25 small items or a photo prior to bringing in larger pieces. After turning in your no-longer-loved wares, shop around for something new. If furniture and home accessories are not your thing, you can also visit their newly-opened clothing consignment store, Thirds Resale Clothing, located next door. In one fell swoop, you can fill your living room
and your closet. Some of Tormey’s current favorite pieces include a large tile fire pit, a mounted deer head, an old brass ship compass and even a church pew. “You never know what or who will come into the store. I am always learning something new. Sometimes an item will come in and we will put question marks as to what it is. Soon enough someone will know,” Tormey says with a laugh. When it comes to hunting for that perfect treasure, some say the fun is all in the mystery and the find. But for Tormey, meeting all the people is what’s fun. It’s always refreshing to talk to someone who has not only found a job she loves but also a way to give back in some small way, even if that is just helping you find the perfect vintage lamp.

I also had an exceptional mentor who showed me what an amazing specialty dermatology is as a career. Why did you choose to relocate your practice here from Las Vegas? I completed an internship at Brown University and fell in love with the East Coast. I am so fond of the beautiful seasons, sense of community, strength of education and breadth of activities available. In fact, our annual family vacations had been in Rhode e Island for the last 10 years; it was l du che t s easy to settle in immediately. r u ar • Yo Yo u r p u • o r gr cation u What do you feel is the most imporo Y r lo Yo u tant information the general public needs to know regarding skincare?

What can be done for skin cancer that people may not be aware of? If you are diagnosed with skin cancer, there is a specialized treatment available called Mohs surgery. Mohs surgery gives the physician a precise means of removing the affected atypical cells with the highest cure rate of any other type of skin cancer removal. It’s particularly important in critical areas where there isn’t a lot of excess skin, such as on the face, where great cosmetic outcomes are very important.
That’s interesting. Any other surprising facts we should know about? Another surprise to many is how much sun exposure you can get through car windows. We’ve seen many reports showing the greater the impact on the left side of a patient’s face from the window exposure in driving. This reiterates the need for daily sunscreen year round. Are there any projects that you are working on currently? I have spoken nationally and internationally on trends and techniques in cosmetic dermatology. My last presentations were in Chile and China just before moving to Rhode Island. Since relocating, my immediate focus has been on establishing my practice in the underserved areas around the East Bay. Our flagship office was opened in Riverside, and we just opened a second location in Newport for the people there. After spending all summer in the sun, do new patients file in during fall? I definitely see more patients after they’ve spent the entire summer outside taking in all of the amazing activities here with family. People tend to come in apologetically, but really it’s never too late to discuss how to reduce sun damage and prevent consequences further.
What is the must have skin care product we should have in our medicine cabinets? My favorite over-the-counter body moisturizer is Nivea Cream. My favorite over-the-counter sunscreen is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 55. I really like the physicianprovided Prescribed Solutions lines for photoaging and recommend Polysporin over Neosporin for cuts. Looking ahead to the colder months, how do I keep my skin hydrated? Coming from the desert climate, most of my patients in Las Vegas had dry skin, so I feel I know it well. It starts on the inside. Drink half your weight in ounces of water per day. Then, bathing habits are probably the most important component on the outside to staying hydrated. Bathe less frequently, take quicker showers with cooler water, and only use soap in the areas needed. Make sure you regularly lubricate your skin to maintain the oil layer it so preciously needs. And, I have to say, see your local dermatologist. 1525 Wampanoag Trail, Suite 203, Riverside. 401-865-6464; 51 Long Wharf Mall, Newport. 401-536-9598. www.aspiredermatology.com.

Live Well Home Style
by Andrea E. McHugh
A Leap of Faith Even an experienced interior designer like Linda Lee Butler could not have predicted that the architectural plan she and husband Ken Alves doodled on a piece of paper more than 20 years ago would have endured into the 21st century, but as sure as their Ledgewind estate stands, the open floor plan, spacious kitchen and room to move continue to be desirable amenities for today’s homeowner. “We bought it when we were young and stupid,” says Linda, speaking fondly of their plot of land in Newport’s desirable estate district. Even though Ken is a builder, the young couple was ambitious and put the cart before the horse, so to speak, by laying out how they wanted the home and surrounding property to look and feel before approaching an architect. “We kind of went the backwards way,” Linda ad-

the Bay | October 2012
mits. But with a solid idea and realistic goals, the architect was responsive (and assumedly impressed), and functionally kept Linda and Ken’s layout in-tact. Ledgewind, named for the home’s location and the ocean breezes that surround the property often, was built in 1991 and is located just steps from legendary Cliff Walk, the 3.5-mile path that traces the ocean’s edge. Set back nearly 100-ft. from the road and boasting eight bedrooms, the home evokes a European impression. “From the outside it looks more like a French Normandy style, but on the inside, it’s a little more English,” explains Linda. The style not only appealed to the couple’s aesthetic, but complemented homes in the neighborhood, many dating back more than 100 years. Among neighboring properties are The Waves, a
historic home built (and once owned) by famed architect John Russell Pope; Pelican Ledge, owned by Nuala and late Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell; and Land’s End, once the home of Edith Wharton. But don’t confuse “prestigious” with “pretension.” Linda admits that her priority at the time was her two young sons, evidenced by the formal dining room being used as a den and washable slipcovers de rigueur throughout. The den’s color palate, navy and white, was chosen purposely as to hide as much of a mess as young boys are capable of making. Furnishings in the room were equally chosen with active tikes in mind, including the Tibetian door-turned-coffee-table the couple picked up on a summer jaunt to the Hamptons. “They could never kill that table – and they tried!” she says, laughing. Open kitchens and dining
rooms were just starting to become a trend, and they worked out well for the couple. “I wanted that with small children; less formal,” she adds. Of course, Ken reminded her to keep resale in mind, so traditional rooms were included, just reinvented. When it came to furnishing the home, Linda is quick to point out that budget and patience played a pivotal role. “We were a young family. We looked for beautiful antiques at estate sales and antique shops,” she says. Pieces were acquired bit by bit, and those with good bones in less than stellar condition were reupholstered. As an interior designer, Linda speaks fondly of curating the home’s aesthetic. The thrill is in the hunt, she concedes, and a story goes along with many of the family’s pieces. “It took a lot of time to put it together,” she adds.

Outside, Linda and Ken left their grounds in the hands of the late Allen Haskell, a renowned landscape architect (recognized by the Smithsonian Institute). His prolific vision and impeccable perfection won prestigious clients from the Kennedys to European royalty. Linda’s mother knew Allen, which led her and Ken to seek him out. “We didn’t know when or what he was going to do — you just had to trust him and go for it,” she recalls. “He was a character. He just said, ‘I’ll let you know’ and hung up!” Days later, Linda and Ken peered out their window to see Allen and a crew pulling up in the driveway. The end result was astonishing, and two decades later, the design endures. An English knot garden, one that is lined with hearty boxwoods, frames pale pink roses that bloom
each summer, in addition to trees including a European beech and red maple. “Those trees are 21 years old and just huge. He knew what he was doing. The garden has set the tone for the entire property. I used to cut those roses for Thanksgiving - that’s how long they lasted.” As the couple has downsized to a home in Portsmouth, Linda and Ken expect to soon add Ledgewind to a page in their family history. It’s a sentimental transition, but with new adventure ahead, Linda can’t wait to see what’s in store. “It’s all positive, or as my kids say, it’s all good.”

Taste Drink

Go apple picking, then enjoy the muddled and mixed fruits of your labor The leaves are starting to turn, the days are getting shorter, and there’s a consistent nip in the air. While many of us wistfully hope for a last burst of Indian summer, we can take solace in a few things the fall season brings us – our TV shows are back, we have an excuse to buy new clothes, our favorite restaurants unveil new menus. For the latter, it’s not just the food that gets revamped – cocktails undergo a seasonal transformation as well. For a taste of what fall has in store, I headed to the Vanderbilt Grace Hotel in Newport. Originally a mansion known as Vanderbilt Hall, built by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt in 1909, the Vanderbilt Grace went through an extensive renovation and opened its doors as a luxury boutique hotel in 2011. The new name reflects ownership by the Grace Hotels brand – a European hotelier with properties around the globe. Centrally located in downtown Newport, the hotel contains 33 rooms and suites, a spa and fitness center (including indoor and outdoor pools), two restaurants and a rooftop bar. Muse is the hotel’s fine dining restaurant headed by British-born and renowned New England chef Jonathan Cartwright - one of only 17 chefs in the U.S. with the Grand Chef Relais & Chateaux designation. Muse offers a popular four-course prix fixe menu in addition to a la carte options. Unfortunately I was not there to eat, but sampling some new fall drinks was not a bad alternative. Behind the bar was Bill Pietras, the assistant restaurant manager, a seven-year industry veteran and my guide for the evening. Bill described fall flavors and seasonal drinking patterns: “The flavors definitely include apple, pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and even blueberry. As far as drink orders, you see less of the Budweisers and gin and tonics and more of the hot chocolates and coffee drinks… things that remind people of home without actually being at home. Any type of brandy goes a long way as well.”
Winter Grace Cocktail
The first concoction Bill had me try was “Tequila Foliage,” made with tequila, agave nectar, grapefruit juice, fresh lemon juice and hard apple cider. (If last month’s column on cider piqued your interest, note that it works in a cocktail too.) The rim was garnished with cinnamon and sugar, which cut the slight tartness. The result was smooth – the kind of drink you don’t notice much until it’s time to stand up and go to the bathroom. The second drink was “Fall Breeze,” made with apple vodka, bitters, fresh lime juice, pear juice, hard cider and vanilla/nutmeg simple syrup. The sweetness of the syrup and the fallevoking crispness of the nutmeg made this my personal favorite of the session. Where was this drink in my college football tailgating days? I had not planned on finishing every sample at this tasting, but my glass of Fall Breeze was quickly drained. The final drink was fresh out of the laboratory and didn’t even have a name yet. It consisted of Hendrick’s Gin, muddled maple syrup, lemon, pear and a cinnamon stick garnish. Tangy, viscous and reminiscent of a dirty martini, it was a drink for flavor, though not necessarily volume. We were joined by Mathilde, the restaurant manager, and in an epiphanous
moment she christened the drink “Winter Grace,” a nod to it being a spin on the Vanderbilt’s signature “Grace Cocktail.” Created by awardwinning British bartender Salvatore Calabrese, the Grace Cocktail is made with Grey Goose La Poire vodka, apple juice, pear puree, lemon juice, muddled lemongrass and a dash of honey syrup. It is garnished with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemongrass straw – a MacGyver-like trick where a thin sheet of lemongrass is wrapped around a drinking straw using simple syrup as an adhesive. While all three drinks were made with fall in mind, they were obviously very different and covered a wide spectrum of flavor and style. The hotel will also be celebrating fall-inspired cocktails via their “Fall Apple Harvest Package,” through October 31. The package includes two nights deluxe accommodation, daily champagne breakfasts and transportation to and from Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown where you can pick your own apples and pumpkins. Head to Muse after you’ve collected your bounty and Bill may even use your freshly-picked apples to make your drink – as he notes in true hospitable fashion, “Anything we can do to give the guest that wow factor.” www.vanderbiltgrace.com

Adam Myers on fall comfort foods
Photography: Dawn Temple
Have you always wanted to work with food? I have. When I was five or six years old, my mother and I signed up for “cooking with kids” classes. They were just fun, easy dishes, but ever since then I have always had a passion for cooking. How long have you been working in a kitchen? I started washing dishes at the Acoaxet Country Club in Westport when I was 14 or 15. I was given the chance to start working with food a year later and loved it. I have been at Fieldstones since we opened in February of 2008. What’s the vibe at Fieldstones? It’s a very friendly, fun place. We have a great staff and ownership, which has established us with a huge regular customer base. With a wide range of age groups coming in, it gives us a comfortable, family-like feel.
Can you describe the menu? Our menu is very diverse. There is something for everyone. We have great fresh seafood, nice dinner salads, pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and vegetarian options. What do you most enjoy cooking when you’re at home on a chilly night? I usually go with soups and stews, or some type of baked casserole.
ting boneless short ribs on our next menu; people have really been enjoying them recently as a special. Do you have a favorite appetizerentrée combination? I really like doing a seared sea scallop appetizer. Sometimes over a little risotto or couscous – nothing too heavy. Then a nice grilled veal chop with a mushroom Marsala reduction.
How do you come up with ideas for menu items? I love trying new specials with different ingredients and always see what our regular customers and staff enjoy the most. We then try to get the best-received dishes on our menu.
Do you have any upcoming specials for fall? This is my favorite time for food. I’m excited to get into more braised items, pastas and sautés with heartier sauces. I think lots of people are looking for some nice comfort foods this time of year.
What is one menu item that everyone should try? The calamari is a favorite with lots of our customers. I am also put-

Ooh la la A taste of France in an inviting waterfront location Tucked away on Thames Street
Photography: Rupert Whitely
in Bristol, with a beautiful view of the harbor across the street, lies Hourglass Brasserie. As the second half of the name would suggest, it’s French, and when you enter the elegant dining room full of dark wood tables and high back cream-colored suede chairs, you are certainly reminded of the relaxed, upscale setting a French brasserie is supposed to project. The first half of the restaurant’s name is extended into the décor with a large hourglass on a table by the entrance, the flowing red sand reminiscent of a little of paprika or cayenne or another fine red spice. On each table sits an engraved hourglass. There’s a small bar to the right and the room is lined with vintage French beverage posters for vermouth, absinthe and the like. Overall, it’s a very inviting space. It seemed appropriate to start the evening with something off the wine list, especially since it grabbed me at first glance. I’ve gotten so used to seeing the same wines on so many local wine lists – a tribute to the wine salespeople in the area, but a bit boring for the consumer. The list at Hourglass wasn’t expansive, about 40 or so bottles in all, but there was some good variety from many regions around the world. I didn’t intend on sticking to France, even in a brasserie, but I love Cru Beaujolais and knew the 2009 Georges Duboeuf Fleurie would work
well with the range of dishes we were going to order. The list was nicely priced too with the added feature that any wine by the glass could be had by the bottle for only $28. The meal began with some very good light, crumbly focaccia and we were served an amuse bouche of red pepper gazpacho with basil oil and basil chip. As soon as the small cups of soup were set down in front of us we could smell the bell pepper. Coupled with the basil oil, this made for a very aromatic few sips of the bright red soup. My wife and I couldn’t decide on which appetizers, soups and salads to split and in the interest of the review we decided on getting one of each. I first tried the Hay-Smoked Scallops ($12) with garlic and anchovy relish, garden greens and lemon dressing. The scallops were perfectly cooked, but the standout for me was the garlic and anchovy relish. It was like a salad dressing on flavor overload without overpowering the scallops. The taste of the two main ingredients lingered on my palate in a very good way. I had to try the Lobster Bisque ($8) with sweet poached lobster knuckle, mascarpone, vanilla bean and tomalley dust. It just sounded so good and the combination of mascarpone and vanilla bean was almost like a little kick of vanilla ice cream. There was much more sweetness in the dish than I was expecting, but it was nicely countered by the
Seared Duck
Slow Poached Lobster
briny richness of the bisque. The Beet Salad ($10) with whipped goat cheese, raspberry leather, orange supremes and hazelnut vinaigrette was a big wow of a salad and might have been the favorite of my both myself and my wife. I love raspberries and this salad didn’t disappoint on that front. The beets were excellent and the vinaigrette tied everything together very well. After the first course, we were brought a watermelon consomme as a palate cleanser. It was well seasoned so that it wasn’t just a sip of watermelon. For dinner I had the Rump Of Lamb “Cuit Sous Vide” ($26) with chickpea polenta, goat cheese panna cotta, harissa, olive oil poached tomatoes and cumin jus. My wife ordered the Spring Pea Risotto ($18) with edamame, lima beans, crispy arugula, truffle essence and parmesan foam. The risotto was light – much lighter than I expected for such a traditionally creamy dish. All of the green items in it made for a great combination and as vegetarian entrées go, I would be more than happy to eat meatless if that was my choice. But I went with the meat and was very glad I did. The lamb dish was a stand-out, with lamb presented two different ways alongside a plate just loaded with some ingenious accompaniments. Lamb leg was served as a compressed rectangle
of meat, underneath the chickpea polenta with seared lamb on top. That polenta had almost a hummus taste to it, but yet still came across as a traditional Italian polenta. The harissa and cumin jus brought out the feel of the Mediterranean and the goat cheese panna cotta was a rich, delicious kick. For dessert we had a traditional crème brûlée, which came with a non-traditional side of plum compote. Our first thought was crème brûlée doesn’t need anything added to it, but then we tried the compote and proceeded to wipe it out. The evening was capped with another treat from the kitchen – lemon madeleines, which were excellently baked. Hourglass Brasserie served us a wonderful meal with great wine surrounded by a very enjoyable atmosphere. It’s well recommended for a fine dining experience in the East Bay.

Kathy Kittel at Don’s Art Shop
duced me to many of the RISD teachers, such as Richard Merkin (the answer to one of the great trivia questions of all time, ‘What Rhode Island artist was on the cover of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album?’), who we later asked to judge our Summer Festival Art Shows.” The last five decades at Don’s included Wednesday night critiques of artwork and once weekly meetings to opine on a colleague’s work-in-progress. “Things would get pretty heated back then,” laughs the always jocular Don. The shop also hosted Christmas parties every year for many years, with as many as 25 people, held at different restaurants. Additionally, there were many times Don would be in heated late night discussions and friends would get hungry. “Even if it was past midnight, I would whip up a spaghetti sauce and we would have our late supper, or early breakfast,” he says. Kathy began working at Don’s while a Warren High School student in 1973. After graduation, she attended RIC and still worked there after school. “I knew early on that she was talented because she came to children’s drawing classes on Saturday morning, which we still run. Kathy has worked very hard at her painting and does wonderful, beautiful work. I have great respect for her
as an artist and person,” says Don, her lifetime mentor. “After I was diagnosed with chronic leukemia in 1991, I decided I should retire and Kathy bought the business from me in 1993.” Kathy attended RIC, CCRI and BCC, but says her real-life letters of education was through Don, painter to painter. “I would describe my style as realistic, surrealistic. I love color!” says Kathy. “As a child, my father would take us on many road trips. I was always looking at structures and infrastructure, American gathering places. They were always vibrant to me. So now, my subject matter is documenting and painting vanishing America. I like to capture the light. I am also fascinated with birds and nature. My medium is mostly oils and watercolor.” In 2006, Kathy put an addition on the upstairs back of the building, which is now their studio. They hold classes, paint and restore paintings there, have open studio tours and Bristol-Warren Art Night. But computers and the cell phone, ironically labeled the “Social” network, have caused isolation instead: changes felt directly at the shop. “We long to keep it the same as it’s been for 40 years. But in the last 10 years or so, everything changed. The computer took away people’s time. They were no longer painting as much,
or visiting for that matter,” says Kathy. “The business changed, too. Mostly because of the economy, but a lot of people order, do drafting and even paint online. We hardly ever sell a T-square these days. The friends that visit are all strapped for time, it seems. We used to play ping pong for hours on end, sit on the front steps, and discuss art, politics, love and war.” Still an oasis for many people, the pair tries to keep artistic natures and creativity alive. “Whoever walks through the front door on any given day is bound to be interesting,” adds Kathy. Like late actor-artist Anthony Quinn, a Bristol resident who in the last decade of his life became one of Don’s good friends, invited Don to his home on secluded Poppasquash Road and asked Don to help him with his art in his home studio. Or the rather large fellow, all dressed in fur, who came in and asked Kathy how far it was to Newport. “I told him about 30 minutes. He said, ‘No I’m walking.’ Turns out he was from Australia and had just walked from Providence and wanted to continue on to Newport,” she says with a smile. “I love my job because every day holds something new. I think that art keeps you young. And we still have the endless pot of coffee going all day long.” 245-4583, www.donsartshop.com.

It has been an art haven, a conversational oasis, a bastion of ideas, a balm for the mind and artistic spirit, a salve for an aching psyche, a comic cushion to rest your weary feet. For some 50 odd years, Don’s Art Shop at 543 Main Street in Warren has been so much more than pastels on a pallet. The eclectic store and studio has welcomed artists, students, the famous, the infamous, the familiar and the stranger. It is still the actual live-in home of its original owner and creator, Don Primiano, 89, and present longtime owner Kathy Kittell, 55, and her 13-year-old daughter Katie, a working collaborative ‘marriage’ of teacher-student trust, loyalty and longevity. Kathy started working there in high school and has never left. Primiano, who has brewed a bottomless pot of coffee for guests since the 1960s, was educated in Warren public schools. He entered the military in 1943 (First Airborne Army), fought overseas for the better part of three years in England, France and Germany, served in The Glider Corps and earned the Three Battle Star for Ardens, Central Europe and the Rhineland. He then attended RISD for four years under the GI Bill of Rights. The iconic, laconic Warren figure, with his unmistakably angular profile, walrus mustache and sardonic wit, adapted quickly from battles on the front lines to establishing vanishing points and other lines on canvas. “My artistic style has evolved over 60 years from what I thought was realistic to primitive, abstraction and semi-abstraction,” says Don. “The shop where I live at 543 Main Street is a comfortable, private place. It is also a wide open place, where I receive visitors who may be former students, other artists or friends I grew up with. Besides a central room and my room, kitchen and bathroom, I also share the upstairs studio with Kathy and Katie,” he explains. “Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, artists would come in and smell the coffee, which led to an invite to the back room for a cup or two,” Don says. “Many then became very good friends. They would bring in paintings to show me, which led to discussion of art. Dave Manzella, an art professor from RISD, was one of the most frequent visitors. He intro-

A Haunting Ballet
Dracula dances his way through an iconic mansion
Photography: Whitney Lucey
Vampires have never been more visible in pop culture, with the popularity of Twilight, Vampire Diaries and True Blood. However, the quintessential vampire is the debonair, charismatic and hauntingly seductive Count Dracula, from which all the fictional vampires - from Barnabas Collins to Edward Cullen - take shape. Dracula, the fictional character created from myths and legends and written by Bram Stoker in 1897 in the novel of the same name, spawned not only movies and stage plays but also other interpretations. This month’s ballet performance by Island Moving Company, Newport’s premier dance troupe, is just one beautiful example of the latter. Continuing its 30th anniversary season, Island Moving Company will reprise artistic director Miki Ohlsen’s site specific Dracula, A Dangerously Close Dance, which premiered in 2009 at Belcourt Castle. It’s being reimagined at a new location – Seaview Terrace – to be presented from October 17-21. If you, like me, were a fan of the cult classic ‘60s TV series Dark Shadows (featuring the aforementioned Barnabas Collins), then this turreted location may be familiar to you as it was the backdrop for the series. Working a site-specific ballet includes paying attention to the piece, the music and the location. Ohlson enjoyed collaborating with composer Felex Ventouras. “Most of it was done over the phone as he would play a piece of music,” she says. Ventouras will also tweak some the music composition to work with the new setting. Ohlsen explains that a site-specific ballet is more of an experience for the audience as they move from room to room with the dancers and musicians. There is no need for a set, as they work within the mansion. The rooms used at Seaview fit within Stoker’s description of the rooms in Dracula’s castle. Of course, they will remove more modern furniture in cooperation with the site coordinator.
Island Moving Company
Like Dracula, who relocated his coffin from his castle in Transylvania to a new abode in London, the Seaview moved to Newport in 1923 from Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. The largest home to be relocated by road and rail, the event was immortalized in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Inspired by Stoker’s novel, Dracula the ballet features new cast member Jason Stoltz in the title role of the suave vampire. Stoltz recently moved to the East Coast and performed with the company during this season’s Great Friend’s Dance Festival. It also features company regulars Christine Sandorfi (as one of Dracula’s brides) and Shane Farrell (as Jonathan Harker) as well as several members of the Junior Dance Company as succubi and gypsies. Sandorfi, in her sixth season with Island Moving Company says, “We’re excited to be in a new location to rework the ballet to fit the nuances of the place.” She continues, “For a dancer, a site-specific ballet is very different from doing a ballet set on a stage. There are always a lot of challenges, as
well as opportunities, to take advantage of things that wouldn’t be available in a traditional theater setting. An old Newport mansion such as Seaview already contributes a lot to the atmosphere just by way of its architecture.” In addition to dance, this multi-faceted ballet also incorporates film and trapeze work. Ohlsen explains: “The film is used to allow the audience to see what is happening outside of the mansion, as when Harker arrives at the castle.” The trapeze work involves silks hanging from the ceiling. Sandorfi explains the scene: “There will be four succubi and two of us [brides], myself and Meredith Baer, who will start by coming down from the ceiling above Harker’s bed.” This in itself presents several challenges. “Silks are obviously very different than ballet. We can be dancing full-time but still not be ‘in shape’ enough for them as they use completely different muscle groups.” The other challenge is the aesthetic. “The aerial work is difficult, but in ballet we always try to make things look easy,” says Sandorfi. So that the ballet is an intimate ex-
perience, guests are limited to 85 for each of the seven performances. There are also some special opportunities to dine and dance with the count, including a gala Masked Ball on Friday, October 20 and a post-show supper with the count on October 21. Coincidentally, 2012 is the centenary celebration of Stoker’s death. As some of you may know, a few Rhode Island vampire legends are said to have provided some inspiration to Stoker’s Dracula. How appropriate to reprise this ballet within such a fitting setting. While children start donning their capes for Halloween parties this month, Dracula, A Dangerously Close Dance may be the perfect seasonal treat for adults.

Just Add Water
by Dave Nelligan
Hook, Line and Sinker Fishing has been around
for a very long time and will probably stand to be a lasting tradition for even longer – so it’s no surprise that there are many, many different views and opinions on the sport. Some say it is a combination of skill built upon years of practice and passed-along tricks of the trade; a tranquil art form that connects one with nature and clears the mind. Then, on the other hand, there are those that say it is boring and mundane; it’s only out of sheer dumb luck that people catch fish in the first place. This duality begs the question, is it skill or is it luck?

the Bay | October 2012
From the casual observer’s point of view, the fish itself does not seem to be a particularly smart creature. Unable to tell a lure from its real prey, videos on channels like Discovery show salmon jumping directly into the mouth of bears. The people in favor of fishing will argue the careful craftsmanship, elegant engineering and in-depth studies of natural prey is what made the lures work so brilliantly; those not in favor will simply point to the videos. Then, the in-favors will tell you it boils down to much more precise factors like where you go, when you go, what you use and how you use
it. Everyone seems to have a spot where the fish run wild. They head out on the water at a time when no one else is around, employing their great-grandfather’s casting technique as a surefire way to always come home with a mound of fish to fill the table. The not in favors will once again point to the videos. Fishing advocates forge on, claiming it’s about how you work your reel: let it sit and troll behind the boat until the one worthy of a wall mount hooks itself, or throw a bob on the line and wait for the signal to start reeling it in. (Just be careful in a de-
bate, though, because those naysayers will probably just suggest you stand on the edge of the shore with your mouth wide open.) Whatever your opinion of fishing may be, the sport and the debates will continue forever; to fish or not to fish, that is the question. The feud carries on in regards to the best way to catch the prize-winner, and who is dumber, the salmon or the people filming the wild bears in the first place. To those who fish, enjoy and cast away. To those who don’t, just smile and nod whenever those fish tales make their way around your living room. To each his own.
