“The Play’s The Thing…”

By Gina Wesley-Silva For Martin Middle School English teacher and Theatre Director Judy DePerla, the play is definitely the thing that gets her excited! Selecting and directing student run theatre productions has been a serious passion of hers for over 30 years now and she says there is very little about this entire process that she does not fully enjoy!

An avid reader of “theatre stuff,” DePerla says she stumbled onto this passion by accident when the principal at a school in Brazil where she was teaching asked her to help out with a student production. “…It was in 1975. I was in the right place at the right time.

And, I absolutely fell in love with it!”

I recently met with DePerla during a rehearsal at Martin Middle School for the schools’ upcoming production of “The Princess Bride”. DePerla‘s passion and excitement over what she does was delightfully obvious as she launched into an enthusiastic explanation and overview of the who’s, what’s, why’s, and where’s’, of this production, the cast, her ambitions, etc.

“First of all, I am doing this show with Jessica Poore, who used to be a teacher here at Martin, but is now teaching at E.P. Senior High School. She and I started doing theatre stuff together here at Martin Middle School last year, and it was the very first time we used a combined cast of middle school and high school students, and it worked out very well!

So, this year we thought it would be good to do a combined production between Martin and E.P. again,” says DePerla.

East Providence News Briefs Locals Residents Oppose Expansion Of Pond View Recycling Plant Pond View officials say the business is trying to expand its state permit to handle three times the 500 tons of demolition material and other construction waste that it is currently approved to handle.

The Rumford neighborhood has voiced its opposition and the City Council has quickly produced a resolution objecting to the higher limit.

Councilman Robert Cusack, said the facility “is a public nuisance in that its current operation emits noxious odors and dust and produces loud noises which severely undermine the quiet enjoyment and quality of life of East Providence residents.”

The business was purchased from former owner and Rehoboth resident, Ken Foley in 00 by TransLoad America.

The plant located on Dexter Road handles a daily average of 3 5 to 350 tons of waste Since 003, the state attorney general and city officials believe a city variance allows the business to accept only up to 150 tons a day. In May, the state Supreme Court ordered the case back to the DEM.

City Council Approves Budget The East Providence City Council has given final approval to $140.6 million operating budget, as proposed by City Manager Richard Brown, for the fiscal year beginning Nov. 1. According to the plan, property taxes will increase to the city’s 3.5 percent cap, water and sewer rates will rise significantly and a state exemption on car taxes has been eliminated.

City officials offered an example of a East Providence resident who owns a home valued at $ 00,000, has two automobiles, a 009 Camry and a 000 Toyota Corolla, and average water usage of 97.6 hundredcubic-feet a year.

The resident’s new taxes and fees would increase a total of $671.

This would be a 13.7-percent rise from $4,900 to $5,571. $136 more in property taxes, $393 more in car taxes and $14 more in sewer and water fees.

According to Mayor Larisa, the property

-tax increase doesn’t make up the $ .4 million cut in state aid.

The state previously mandated that cities and towns exempt the first $6,000 of a car’s value when calculating tax bills. The state would then reimburse communities money to cover the difference. In order to balance the state budget, the General Assembly has decided not to reimburse these funds.

The sewer and water rate hikes will help pay for the much-needed wastewatertreatment facility improvements.

The City Council approved the $5 .5-million upgrade, based on the fact that a fee increase would be needed.

A $167 million Development Is Planned For East Providence Waterfront City officials have approved a $167million plan to build townhouses, condos and commercial space on the shore front site of a former oil-tank farm.

In the deal between the developers and the city, the city will help pay for infrastructure that will include sewer and water lines, a new road and other work for Village on the Waterfront. This project is the largest land development pending in Rhode Island in spite of the recession.

The project will include access to the city’s coastline with a fishing pier, marina, parking and an East Bay Bike Path extension.

Future taxes collected from the development will net more than $1 million of new tax revenue annually. Currently, the city receives $5 ,1 5 from the vacant, 5 acre property. Village on the Waterfront will be built in four phases with phase-one construction starting a year from now to be completed in 1 to 1 months. The entire project is expected to take to 10 years.

Light Up The Landfill The East Providence City Council unanimously voted to have City Manager Richard Brown begin negotiations that could bring a solar power project to the Riverside landfill. The landfill, off Forbes Street, has been officially closed for 30 years.

Mr. Brown recommended that the city partner with the Boston-based CME on the project. CME is an international project

development company specializing in creating renewable energy projects. CME President William J. Martin said the solar project is a “unique opportunity” for the “city to re-claim valuable” property.

The city would have to spend a substantial amount of money to cap the landfill but the project would have multiple benefits.

1. Capping the landfill would reduce any current safety concerns around the area. . Under a lease agreement the city would receive revenue from the property.

3. Energy created by the system would be sold to a number of potential buyers including the city, the state or the utility company.

Before the project moves forward, further study of the area will be needed to iron out more details.

“The Play’s The Thing…”

By Gina Wesley-Silva

DePerla went on to explain, “So, for this year we decided to take on “The Princess Bride”, she said with a smile. She then paused and asked, “Why?”, then answered, “Well, because it is a very well-known movie, and Jessica watched the movie and after she watched it, she sat down and wrote a script. So, we opened up auditions to both middle school and high school students, and soon we had a cast, and there you have it!,” she concluded.

DePerla talked about lots of assistance she and Poole have received from others in the community to help with all aspects of the production, “Through the theatre department at R.I. College, I was able to find a young man named John Lincoln, who has now taught our cast how to sword fight. We also are expecting to have a group of local elementary students who will be doing a little show between Acts One and Two. We also have Nate Melo, who is a freshman at R.I. College, who has been working with me for the last 3 years, and he does the music. He has created his own orchestra, which has students from Riverside, Martin, and E.P. High, who will be performing as part of the orchestra for the show. Also, a couple of parents have gotten involved too, which is really exciting! One Mom does costumes, another Mom is doing the program and getting the t-shirts organized, so there is lots of support that I am getting!,” DePerla said.

We hope you enjoy receiving our paper each month! We encourage you to continue to send us your news, letters, and announcements. We also hope you will support your local businesses because they make this newspaper possible!

DePerla‘s selection process for choosing a play is methodical and well thought out. She explained, “We choose a script that has a balance of characters, so that we can get as many students involved as possible. We try to open it up to a variety of students.

And we choose in traditional theatrical ways, you come, you try out, and you either get a part or you don’t. But anybody who does not get a part also has the option to do tech work or help out with something else. We also always have two casts, Cast A and Cast B, and both casts get to perform one night for dress rehearsal, and one night for the show, so they each perform twice. And we often have one cast onstage and one cast watching, so that we can give direction once, so it’s really very practical,” says DePerla.

I asked DePerla why being involved in theatre might be good for students? She explained that the benefits are too numerous to list, “I think it does everything good for them. They learn other pieces of literature. They learn to memorize and to work together as a team. They also have to be passing in all their subjects to participate, so that is another incentive to keep good grades, and they meet students who they otherwise wouldn’t be meeting, and that forms bonds that don’t get formed in any other way. And it is intense, hard work, and they take it on, and I just don’t see anything bad about it,” she said.

I then asked how theatre training might help students from a purely educational standpoint, and DePerla explained, “It teaches them in many ways. For example, a lot of the theatre exercises that we do are designed to develop focus, increase attention, and promote cooperation, and that can all be very helpful when the student goes back into the classroom,” she says.

Also, DePerla says the students run the entire production, which helps to enhance their self-esteem. “…The students do everything, they do the lights, they do the music, they do the scenery and stage stuff - absolutely everything,” she says.

DePerla says she loves how it all comes together. She says she explains her vision and her expectations to the cast and crew in the very beginning, “I explain that my view of the whole process is that the play is mine from the beginning through all the rehearsals. I own it, it‘s mine. But, on show night, the play becomes yours, you own it. I don‘t own it anymore, it‘s all yours!

DePerla then went on to explain, “The greatest thrill, and the most exciting thing for me is watching students - especially students who have never done theatre before, get up there and put on a slamming performance! And then they really know that they own it!”

As far as her own education, DePerla says she is primarily selftaught in all aspects of theatre. She has been an usher at PPAC for the past eleven years, and says she goes to see plays at Trinity Repertory and Second Story Theatre frequently, and she has even taken some acting classes locally. Also, recently DePerla played a small role in a show in Newport, and she says that experience has helped her immensely in understanding some of the challenges her student performers encounter.”

I asked DePerla what her theatre related goals are, and she replied, “I would like to see a theatre position in this district because I think there are a lot of theatre activities and theatre games, that can be brought into the classroom to help students in learning a lot of different things. And, I think it would be extremely positive for the district. It is the kind of thing that can be done from elementary through high school.

The Princess Bride runs from November 3 and November 4.

The show starts at 7 p.m., and costs $5.00 per ticket. Tickets can be purchased at Martin Middle School starting at 6 p.m. on the evenings of the performance.

response to City of East Providence Concerning the Car tax

Rhode Island’s cities and towns have a budgeting problem. It happens every year.

And every year, the municipalities attempt to shift the blame to the state due to funding cuts, this year it’s about the car tax. But there’s a problem with this dynamic. There is no more money and this situation was not unexpected. Cities and Towns were warned when the General Assembly put the Car Tax money back into the 010 Budget after the Governor had cut it entirely. The Legislature bailed them out then, and they were advised to tighten their belts, because there is no more money. Did they listen?

The simple fact is the state can no longer afford to pay for municipal over spending.

The car tax was created due to a budget surplus in (1994). There is no surplus projected in 011. And there isn’t likely to be one in 01 either. This should serve as fair warning, again.

How do I classify overspending? In East Providence, during a time when unilateral teacher concessions were forced due to the unfounded threats of bankruptcy, the School Department created two new assistant superintendent positions, $114,003 & $10 ,913 a year each, as well as giving the Business Director a $ 0,000 raise, the Superintendent a $14,000 raise, and not to mention the extra $375,000 budgeted for legal fees. Let’s also not forget the second supplemental retirement fund that goes to our city’s administrators. And this year, both the municipal and school budgets have increased again. I often wonder what ever happened to the Roger Williams Consolidation Report to save East Providence money?

The report stated action was needed yet currently none of the recommendations

have been carried out. I have sponsored legislation during the most recent legislative session requiring cities and towns and their respective school departments to merge duplicate functions. No one from the city or school administrations bothered to put their support or opposition on record. Why? East Providence City Manager Richard Brown recently stated in the Providence Journal on September nd that the General Assembly is unable “to do anything other than reduce support to local governments and effectively shift taxes from the state to the local level.” I am afraid Mr. Brown is mistaken. Here are two examples of what the General Assembly is able to do for the citizens of the Rhode Island.

The Income Tax Reform Package that I sponsored and was signed into law this year gives the citizens and small business owners of Rhode Island real tax reform that keeps more money in their pockets. In my District 14 alone, 0% of the residents will be paying less on their tax returns. And, speaking of extra money to the residents of East Providence and Pawtucket, the state will be giving you an extra $11 million due to the passage of an Education Funding Formula. The state has cut annual spending by over $500 million dollars over the past 5 years. Municipal budgets have grown roughly $467 million over the same amount of time. Yet, we are still to blame for your budget woes?

Two interesting facts came to my attention during the most recent state budget negotiations. First, 60 cents of every tax dollar paid within the State of Rhode Island goes to and is spent by the cities and towns.

Secondly, collectively, Rhode Island’s municipalities are currently sitting on cash reserves of over $100 million. These two facts lead me to one question for Rhode Island’s municipalities… when is it enough?

Help Support St. Jude Hospital

I am writing to you with some exciting news! On Saturday, December 4, 010, I will be walking in a 13.1 mile marathon to help raise funds for St.Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Joining me will be thousands of other walkers from around the country to participate in one of St. Jude’s major fund-raising activities. It will be exciting for me to take part and support a great cause as St. Jude continues its medical research to find a cure for cancer in children.

Your donation will help fund the research being done every day to find a cure for this terrible childhood condition. Significant progress has been made in the treatment of this disease and researchers at St. Jude’s continue to be optimistic that a cure may be found in the not too distant future. I am asking for your support by contributing as generously as you can to St. Jude Children’s Hospital on my behalf.

As I walk the 13.1 miles you will be with me in spirit and your partnership will inspire me to never tire or quit until I have crossed the finish line. Please join with me in this challenge by giving whatever amount you can, be it small of large.

Please try to send your donation by November 30, 010, so that I can monitor my fund-raising efforts. Of course, all donations will be accepted even after this date. Please address your check to St. Jude Children’s Hospital and mail to me at the address listed below. Thank you!

Sincerely, Delores Bliss, East Providence

Let's Get together and Have real townie Pride

Last night (October 5), I attended the City Council meeting armed with five minutes’ worth of brilliant remarks on the proposed budget. Three hours in, and we still hadn’t gotten to discussing the budget. Tired and damp from the soggy weather, I headed home, brilliant remarks unspoken. Today I’ll try a different tack and put my thoughts in writing.

There are three things about this budget that especially bother me.

One is that, despite what I thought I heard at the last Council meeting – that no city employee was getting a raise, there are certain high-paying city jobs where base pay has jumped $10,000 over last year, and many other city employees seem to be getting a 3% raise. This is just unacceptable. These are awful financial times for our city. Taxpayers are suffering here, as elsewhere.

Good people have lost their jobs or have been downsized and are struggling to keep their heads above water. Some of these good people, in fact, were employees of this city who lost their jobs outright, or have been privatized, or have been browbeaten into accepting pay cuts, reduced hours or benefits. This isn’t the time for a $10,000 increase for a few privileged positions; this isn’t the time for a 3% raise for any position in our city government. It’s just totally unconscionable.

Second, this proposed budget is a mysterious thing. Why does a line item jump up or down so significantly from year to year? Why in the City Solicitor’s office, for example, were “temporary salaries” budgeted at $13 ,000 last year, with zero allocation in 010-11?

And why were “outside salaries” at $30,000 in 009-10 and now budgeted at $156,000? What’s this all about? I strongly urge that any item above a certain dollar amount – a couple thousand dollars, say – that increases or decreases 10% or more from one budget year to the next be explained in writing in a note on the page where the figure appears. The citizens and taxpayers of East Providence

November 010 The Reporter deserve a full breakdown of where their hard-earned taxes are being spent. They shouldn’t have to guess or sit through a marathon session to hear the details.

Third, and with sadness, I see that the budget for the Recreation Department has zero funds allocated for “Public Celebrations” this year. This can only mean that there won’t be fireworks on the 4th of July. While there’s little reason to celebrate this year, a 4th of July without at least a few fireworks will be pretty dismal.

I hope with a little money-crunching – such as eliminating even one $10,000 raise – money can be found for a modest July 4th celebration. If not, though, let’s get together as a community with real Townie Pride and raise the funds ourselves. If you’re interested, let’s Save Our Fireworks and show what Townies can do when they work together. Contact me at candy_seel@mac.com.

An open Letter to the Politicians and Would Be Politicians of East Providence

Ladies and Gentlemen, have any of you observed the fact that Social Security will not be giving cost of living increases this year?

Are you also aware that there was no increase in Social Security last year?

This is, I am told by federal government, because there has been no increase in the cost of living.

Perhaps if they lived in East Providence they would think differently. Home taxes were raised 3.5% last year and are being raised the same amount this year. In addition grocery bills have increased.

Health care costs, prescriptions, electricity, and many other things have increased. Very few paychecks in our area have increased and many other things have increased, and there are many more who are unemployed.

East Providence has a large population of Senior Citizens. We would like to be able to remain in our homes and pay our bills. How long do you think this will happen the way we are going? Can anyone give a solution to this problem? If so you will have my vote!

Happy 70+ Anniversary to Pierce Memorial Stadium!

Named after W. B. Pierce, the focal point of Pierce Field is the track, football stadium, and its adjacent recreation fields. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built the football field between 1935-39. Jones Pond, located south of the stadium, was enclosed in a cement wall. Between the two, a wide cement circle was cast for some unknown function such as entertainment and/or sports events. Numerous sidewalks were constructed throughout the surrounding area. During this time, many high school aged boys left E. Prov. to serve in World War II. Unofficial boundaries of Pierce Field are today’s Lyon Ave., Veterans’ Parkway, Burgess Ave., and Juniper St. Many changes have occurred within these borders. The Metacomet Golf Course replaced Lyons Stock Farm. Baseball fields along Lyon Ave. once were filled with military Quonset huts. Schools existed on the corners of Mauran Ave. and Sixth St. and on the corner of Juniper St. and Lyon Ave. A. B. Hennessey Elementary School was built on the site of the former St. Mary’s Orphanage. Two corner convenience stores and beauty salons once existed along Burgess Ave. Coastal railroad tracks became a bicycle path. Professional and medical

Repairing Your Shoes for 20 Years

Hiring Military Veterans is Good Business

By Bill Whitmore If your company’s diversity recruiting strategy fails to include military veterans, you are missing out on working with some of our country’s most outstanding men and women.

Organizations that fail to recognize the extraordinary leadership qualities that veterans bring to the workplace pass up the opportunity to work with results-oriented employees that have a strong sense of accountability and responsibility. It is time for our country’s corporate leaders to awaken to the reality that combat leadership and military discipline translate into dynamic employees who can enhance an organization’s productivity.

While the national unemployment rate hovers around 9.7% for civilians, the unemployment rate for young male veterans, including those returning from Afghanistan and Formerly of 2475 Pawtucket Ave Iraq, is more than double the national average at 21.6% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Isn’t it time to shine the employment spotlight on the brave men and women Now Accepting who serve our country?

What essential set of life skills do military veterans bring to corporate America that Drop-offs & Pick-ups at makes them an indispensable pairing? The military trains our men and women to lead 6 Convenient Locations: by example as well as understand the nuances of delegation and motivation.

News from the East Bay Community Action Program...

East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) offers a wide array of health and human services for area residents. Its upper bay headquarters is located at 100 Bullocks Point Avenue in Riverside. For information on services, call 437-1000.

East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) recently welcomed its second group of twelve AmeriCorps volunteers.

Speaking languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Creole, and others, the new group of AmeriCorps volunteers will bring their diverse backgrounds and experiences to the organization.

Dennis Roy, EBCAP Chief Executive Officer, welcomed the AmeriCorps volunteers at the organization’s new 70 Turner Avenue site and administered their oath of service.

Audrey Field, Director of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Foster Grandparent Program and AmeriCorps Program, also welcomed the volunteers.

As part of their first day with EBCAP, the AmeriCorps volunteers received a tour of the new 70 Turner Avenue site, which houses two Head Start classrooms, a playground for the children, and six service-enriched apartments for individuals and families.

The volunteers will be placed in programs such as Head Start, East Bay Family Health Care, Safety Net, Newport Family and Child Opportunity Zone, and RSVP. Two of the twelve volunteers are working in conjunction with the Rhode Island Homeless Coalition.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude.

Lets Spread the love around, East Providence!

Maria Correia Sales Associate EU FALO PORTUGUES

East Bay Center, Inc., has provided a wide variety of community and office-based mental health and addictions services for residents of RI and Southeastern MA for over forty-seven (47) years. Over the past year, EBC has faced challenges with respect to radically reduced funding streams, and an increase in the demand for acute/ higher levels of services. However, through the dedicated work of EBC’s Leadership, Staff, and Board of Directors, the Center has reinvigorated itself to face those challenges through the following initiatives: • Developed and strengthened local partnerships with East Bay Community Action Program (EB CAP) and CODAC to provide on-site psychiatric diagnostic and supportive services to their clients; allowing more seamless and holistic care, • Secured a license to provide Ambulatory Detoxification services beginning in the Fall of 010. This program will provide a highly structured, individually-designed clinical plan within a framework of medication, education, relapse prevention, and the learning of skills, which combine to help a person get back on his/her feet and live a life worth living; armed with sober skills that will serve them well on the road to recovery.

• Streamlined the triage process (the call you make for that first appointment) to better determine clients’ immediate needs and to get them into service more quickly, • Experienced a 50% growth in clients served by the Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization (IOP/PHP) Program. One hundred ninety-eight (19 ) adults and one hundred seventy-two (17 ) adolescents last year were provided intensive therapy, learned mindfulness skills, emotional regulation, how to live in the moment, and how to sooth themselves when stressed. The program will expand into evening treatment (to accommodate home and work schedules) for adults by December, 010.

• In support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQQI) Community, EBC joined forces with Hasbro Children’s Hospital in providing healthcare and education to transgender youth. Dr Michelle Forcier, an Endocrinologist at Hasbro, invited staff from EBC’s LGBTQQI program to attend and present at Grand Rounds at Hasbro, to educate their staff and interns, and to further collaborate in providing services to youth at their clinic.

• EBC has partnered with Genoa to institute an on-site pharmacy to improve medication oversight and provide individualized medication education to clients to increase compliance and safety.

EBC’s mission has remained the same for many years – to improve the lives of individuals and families within our communities by providing a broad range of high quality mental health and addiction services. Especially in the face of adversity, EBC will be here to help you, your family, and your community. We encourage you to visit our website at www.eastbay.org for information regarding services, employment, locations, etc. To speak to someone regarding services or to schedule an appointment, please call 401- 46-1195 and ask for “Intake”.

The economy continues to hit people all across America hard, but the City of East Providence has launched a program that will put money back in the pockets of its residents, and at the same time help ensure that they can purchase much needed medications.

The City of East Providence has sponsored a program that provides residents with a free prescription drug discount card that will save them an average of 15% on brand name medications, and 55% on generic drugs. Because more than 54,000 pharmacies are under contract nationwide, the “experience of use” savings are 10%- 5%. The bearer of the card is guaranteed the absolute lowest price available for medications. The card comes pre-activated, and is a bearer card, meaning no identification or personal information needs to be given in order to receive one of the discount cards.

Anyone can use the cards and there is no income or age requirement. No drugs are excluded and the card NEVER EXPIRES. The cards can be used by people with no or limited prescription coverage, senior citizens who reach their Medicare Part D benefit gap (donut hole), people with insurance that excludes certain medications or whose co-pays keep going up and those on Medicaid who require more than 5 prescriptions.

The cards are accepted at over 0% of pharmacies in the US and Puerto Rico and are a valuable tool in saving people money on needed medications.

Cards are available at the following locations throughout the city: East Providence City Hall, Fuller Library, Affirmative Action Office, City Clerks Office, Riverside Library, East Providence Senior Center, Rumford Library, East Providence Recreation Center, Weaver Library Residents can stop by to request a free card and a list of participating pharmacies. No personal information is needed. The cards can also be printed from the website www.FreeUSDrugCard. com.

These cards are provided through a collaborative effort with Community Assistance Program, a neighborhood outreach program. This particular card saved the public over $35 million nationally in 009. Since the cards can be used Nationwide, you are encouraged to share them with family and friends in other states to help ease their financial burden.

EPtA Seeks Pledges from Council Candidates to oppose Car tax

Citizens group says city should not impose a new tax on the first $6,000 of automobile value on financially struggling residents at a time when it is not in compliance with numerous taxpayer protection laws. The group said the city should focus on achieving full compliance with fiscal responsibility laws and reforming public sector compensation practices before demanding more money from taxpayers.

(East Providence, RI – September 30, 010) – The East Providence Taxpayers Association (EPTA) is seeking pledges from all candidates for City Council to oppose the imposition of a new city tax on the first $6,000 in vehicle value.

November 2010 The Reporter EPTA spokesperson Bill Murphy said, “The EPTA is asking all candidates for City Council to issue public statements pledging that they will not vote to impose a car tax. Whether or not they make this pledge, we are requesting that all candidates immediately clarify their positions on the car tax by issuing public statements before the end of the week.”

The General Assembly recently passed a law removing the exemption of the first $6,000 of the value of a vehicle from the car tax.

The new law allows municipalities to levy a tax on the first $6,000 in vehicle value after allowing for a $500 exemption. The intent of the law was to provide municipalities with an opportunity to offset cuts in state disbursements of vehicle tax collections.

Murphy added, “It is not appropriate for the city to raise existing taxes or to impose new taxes at a time when it is still not in full compliance with a multitude of fiscal responsibility laws designed to protect taxpayers from government overspending. We are grateful for the progress the Council and School Committee have made in this direction given the financial disaster left behind by their predecessors. But we are no where near where we need to be from a legal compliance perspective. EPTA opposes the imposition of a car tax or any other revenue or fee increases until this problem is rectified. Taxpayers cannot afford additional car taxes and any such increases will further undermine the economic environment in the city.”

“The city also should focus on equalizing pay and benefits for public sector workers with those prevailing in the private sector.

This is vital to controlling overspending and balancing the city and school budgets. Our personnel costs are simply too high and we must make more progress in this area. It is wrong to continue to hit city residents with never-ending tax increases when the state and municipal pension systems are already crushing them. Taxpayers and elected officials must work together to push our representatives in the General Assembly to take bold action on these issues.”

Newman YMCA receives Grant from target for After School Art Program and Field trips

The Newman YMCA today announced a partnership with Target in recognition of its efforts in providing “Afterschool Story Art” an enrichment program for children in East Providence, Seekonk and Rehoboth. The grant will support a 6 week afterschool art enrichment program called Story Art which ties in with an existing educational program at the Art Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). The Y program encourages the creative development of artistic talent both as a means to an end (achieving education objectives) and as an avenue of expression. The participants learn how paintings tell stories throughout history. The Target grant will provide the field trips to the RISD museum.

“We are so thankful to Target and thrilled to be able to offer this program to children in our afterschool programs. Their work was displayed in a makeshift art gallery at the Y last week to honor National ART week. Through the RISD art museum field trips children gain an understanding of social studies, language arts and history through the stories told in paintings, reinforcing their own creative achievements”, states Jeanine Achin, Executive Director at the Y. This grant is part of ongoing efforts by Target to strengthen families and communities throughout the country. Since opening its doors, Target has given 5 percent of its income to organizations that support education, the arts, social services and volunteerism.

Today that equals more than $3 million every week.

“At Target, our local grants are making a difference in the communities we serve,” said Laysha Ward, president, community relations, Target. “We’re proud to partner with the Newman YMCA as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.”

Additionally, Target also gives through signature programs that are designed to inspire learning in children and families. Programs include: • Take Charge of Education®, a school fundraising program; • Target School Library Makeovers, a program that provides year-round volunteer opportunities for Target team members to get involved with their local school; • Target Field Trip Grants, a program that helps educators bring learning to life outside the classroom through the distribution of grants; • Target House®, which serves as a home away from home for families of children receiving lifesaving treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in Memphis and the St. Jude School Program presented by • Target, which is staffed with accredited teachers and helps patients stay on track academically while undergoing treatments that can last months; • Target Volunteers, a nationwide network of Target team members, retirees, families and friends who volunteer millions of hours to community projects.

About the Newman YMCA: The VISION of our YMCA is to become the most values resource for families and individuals seeking healthy lifestyles and wellness. Our Mission is to build healthy spirit, mind and body for all through programs services and relationships that are based on our values of caring, honesty respect and responsibility. The Newman YMCA accomplishes this through a strong focus on community involvement. We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and actively seek collaborations with local businesses and other non-profit agencies to provide full services not just for the children but for their entire families. By rallying the community to support the schools and the children we give them every opportunity to build the foundation they need to grow into well adjusted, successful, confident adults who will in turn support their own communities creating a legacy of caring and concern. The Newman YMCA has over 200 children enrolled in afterschool enrichment programs.

Festival Ballet Providence Comes to rumford

Festival Ballet Providence (FBP), Rhode Island’s largest professional ballet company and associated dance school, has just opened a brand new state of the art studio in the beautifully renovated Rumford Center located at 0 Newman Ave. The two room studio is located in “the barn” at the rear of the site, detached from the other large brick buildings. The new satellite studio will be a welcome location for both the students of the Center for Dance Education as well as the professional company. The 5 person ballet company is presently housed on the East side of Providence, along with the foremost ballet school in the state. The ever growing number of registered students was the impetus for the addition of the Rumford branch. Mihailo Djuric, the artistic director of Festival Ballet Providence and Mary Ann Mayer, the director of the school, are both very excited to have the studio in Rumford. “Having the additional studio space will help to alleviate the necessity to turn away prospective dance students, and is a culmination of hard work, many years in the making,” Ms Mayer has stated. Djuric sees the supplementary space as a wonderful setting for young ballet students as well a great opportunity for FBP Center for Dance Education to spread their wings and offer a broader range of dance styles. In addition to the daily operations, the new facility will be a welcome spot for the summer dance camps FBP has come to be well known for.

While fall classes have just gotten underway, registration is ongoing and there is room in many of the classes for new students.

The course schedule includes classes for adults, boys, and beginner to intermediate classical ballet as well as modern, jazz and creative movement for the very young.

The new business location has been warmly embraced by nearby residents and the staff of FBP is looking forward to serving the community in the same professional manner that the Providence location has. For more information about registration, please call the main FBP number at (401) 353-11 9. (The Seven Stars Bakery, located at both the Providence and Rumford locations, is a proud supporter of Festival Ballet Providence.)

Celebrating 1 year at our new location!

Exhibit by Local Artist Megan Jeffery Opens at Providence Children’s Museum

Providence, RI - Providence Children’s Museum announces the opening of I Live in a Small Town, an imaginative new exhibit featuring playful finger puppets and hundreds of intricate miniatures handcrafted by Providence artist and Rhode Island School of Design graduate Megan Jeffery. The exhibit will be on display through February 6, 2011.

I Live in a Small Town showcases a collection of finger puppet characters handmade using wool roving, fabrics and other materials in 17 small shops and settings in the Museum’s atrium walkway “window boxes.” Visitors of all ages are intrigued by the fascinating scenes and see what details they can discover in the shops of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker; at a jamboree featuring instrument-playing barnyard animals; at a Parisian picnic visited by ants wearing berets; and on the beach with sandcastles constructed by crabs. Each of Jeffery’s puppets has a unique personality, thanks to her thoughtfully selected materials and attention to the smallest details.

Megan Jeffery, a Seekonk resident, received a BFA in Illustration from RISD and has been a children’s illustrator for over 20 years, specializing in educational material. Her captivating creations will be on display at Providence Children’s Museum for the next 4 months.

Visit Megan Jeffery’s website, http://www.megillustrations.com/, to learn more about her work and background. Visit the Museum’s blog to learn more about I Live in a Small Town and about Megan’s previous puppet exhibit at Providence Children’s Museum.

If you love animals and are looking for an opportunity to reduce the suffering of feral cats in your community, please support PawsWatch’s upcoming Cats Alive! Annual cocktail party and silent auction.

PawsWatch is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping Rhode Islanders provide spay/neuter and vaccinations for neighborhood feral cats. The organization is funded by community donations which are applied directly to providing vet care and shelter for feral cats and kittens. PawsWatch has provided crucial veterinary care to thousands of feral cats since it was founded in 1997. By working with local veterinarians and concerned neighbors, we are able to spay and neuter, vaccinate and treat injuries and illnesses. In addition to the necessary vet services, our hardworking volunteers help Rhode Islanders learn and apply humane methods to improve the lives of the feral cats in their neighborhoods. This includes facilitating vet care and making sure that the cats have adequate shelter and an ongoing food supply. Additional information is available at www.alleycat.org, the national leader of Trap-Neuter-Return-Monitor (TNRM.) To donate or to learn more about PawsWatch, visit www.pawswatch.org or email to cats@pawswatch.org.

Festival Ballet Providence Casts Nutcracker and Expands its Doors

Sugar plums will be dancing in the heads of over 150 children in Rhode Island this December. These young hopefuls auditioned for, and then subsequently earned a role in the ever popular holiday tradition, The Nutcracker. Festival Ballet Providence puts together the annual production with local children in various roles from the youngest angels to the coveted part of Clara.

Festival Ballet Providence (FBP), Rhode Island’s largest professional ballet company is presently housed on the East side of Providence, along with the foremost ballet school in the state. The 33rd season commenced in September and was marked by the opening of two new satellite studios, one in Rumford and the other, East Greenwich. The busy 5 member company, along with the ever growing number of registered students was the impetus for the addition of the new branches. Mihailo Djuric, the Artistic Director of Festival Ballet Providence, sees the supplementary space as a wonderful opportunity for the professional company to spread their wings while the large cast of Nutcracker children rehearse throughout the fall.

This December there will be the usual hustle and bustle backstage at Providence Performing Arts Center that is required to mount such a huge production. Young girls in frilly Victorian dresses will stand still while an army of volunteers careful curl their hair into the typical 19th century banana ringlets. Soldiers will stand guard in the wings of the stage ready to battle the ever menacing Rat Queen and her army of mice. And of course, Clara and her Nutcracker Prince will dance through the snow flakes into the Christmas Eve night to meet with the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy and all the candy dreams of childhood. Call (401) 353-11 9 for more information.

The Community Players Perform "oklahoma!"

November 5-7, 12-14 and 19-21 Jenks Auditorium, Division Street, Pawtucket, ri

The Community Players celebrate their 90th Anniversary Season with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical, Oklahoma!

With a record-breaking 1943 opening run on Broadway, Oklahoma! ushered in the “Golden Age” of American musical theatre, inspiring the Oscar-winning film adaptation and countless revivals over the years, winning the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Awards and several international awards along the way. Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.

Filled with lively dance numbers and familiar show-tunes including Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, Surrey with the Fringe on Top and People Will Say We’re In Love, Oklahoma! will leave audiences smiling and humming along. Directed by Timothy Reid, with musical direction by Ron Procopio, Oklahoma! will be presented November 5-7, 1 -14 and 19- 1 at Jenks Auditorium, Division Street, Pawtucket, RI (across from McCoy Stadium). Fridays and Saturdays at p.m., with Sunday matinees at p.m. Tickets are $1 for adults and $15 for students through high school. Reserve online at www.thecommunityplayers.org or call (401) 7 6-6 60.

November 7 –December 28 • Winter Plumage Art Exhibit by Gordon D’Arcy

Audubon Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge Smithfield, RI • 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

In the natural world, people tend to focus on what scientists call ‘charismatic megafauna’. Massive animals like whales, cute animals like giant pandas, and fierce animals like eagles or lions get all the attention - and humans rally to the cry when their survival is in jeopardy. But what about the ugly, tiny and, dare I say, stinky animals? Aren’t they important too? What about the carrion beetle, the skunk, the snapping turtle? Why should I care about tiny sea snails? Surely ticks and mosquitoes must be useless! Come and find out about these ‘unhuggables’ and how vitally important biodiversity is to ecosystems, medicine, and the survival of all.

How to Give And Know You’re Doing Some Good (ARA) - Making a charitable donation during the holidays isn’t just an act of kindness, often it’s also an act of faith. As you mail your donation check or drop some bills and loose change into that collection bucket outside the grocery store, it’s only natural to wonder just where the money is going, who it’s helping, and if it’s really helping anyone at all.

Wouldn’t it feel good this holiday season to know your contributions are really making a difference? Knowing who your donation benefits can help make the act of giving even more enriching for you and the recipient of your generosity. Fortunately, there are ways to do good that you can also feel good about, knowing the real effects of your efforts. Here are two ideas for holiday giving that you can know will make a difference:

Everyone is busy during the holidays, but if you want to be confident your charitable giving is really making a difference, donating your time to a worthy cause is a good option. Not only will you enjoy the spiritual nourishment of actively helping others, you’ll be able to see the actual results of your contribution. The options are virtually endless and you can find a way to give that fits your schedule and personal preferences.

Are you handy around the house? Contribute your time to an organization that builds or repairs homes for those in need. Perhaps you’re a good cook or a deft server? Volunteer to prepare or serve meals at your local soup kitchen. Do you get along well with kids? Contact churches or homeless shelters in your area and volunteer for their child care programs.

(take Warren Ave., off Rte. 6, Seekonk- at Cumberland Farms)

No matter how you choose to do it, donating your time costs you nothing more than a few hours, but can deliver the reward of seeing firsthand just who your contribution is helping.

Money is often what people in need require most. Yet if you believe the old adage “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” you may feel hesitant to just hand over cash without knowing your donation will help the recipient build a better future for themselves. Funding a microfinance loan for a small business owner in a developing country is a great way to ensure your donation not only helps someone immediately, but helps create a better future as well.

Organizations like World Vision provide micro loans - ranging from $ 5 to $5,000 - to small businesses in Mexico, the Philippines, Kenya and Rwanda.

Through the organization’s website, www.worldvisionmicro.org, you can

fund a loan - entirely or partially. What’s more, you can select the entrepreneur you would like to help and designate exactly how much to loan that person. The website provides details on business owners, why each needs a loan, and how they will use the loan. After you’ve made a loan, you’ll get reports on how your chosen entrepreneur has spent the money, how his or her business is faring and how the entrepreneur is re-investing profits.

Your loan is recorded as a tax-deductible monetary donation. When borrowers repay their loans, their funds go back into World Vision’s local community bank and the money is loaned out again to help other entrepreneurs in the same community.

The repayment rate for World Vision loans is nearly 99 percent. Microfinance loans foster small-scale entrepreneurship and foster long-term solutions to poverty by helping individuals and communities transition from poverty to independence.

Log on to www.worldvisionmicro.org to learn more.

When you make a charitable donation during the holidays - or any time of year - your heart is in the right place. You’ll feel even better about your contribution if you know for sure you money is ending up in the right place as well.

Spice up store-bought. Adding an unexpected, tasteful touch to storebought foods and beverages is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to wow your friends and family. For example, just a dash of cinnamon-citrus Tastefully Simple Warm Up! Mulling

Spice mixed with your favorite apple cider can turn an ordinary drink into a heartwarming holiday experience.

Seize the day (before). Many hors d’oeuvres can be prepared in advance and simply heated - or reheated - in the oven or microwave on the day of your holiday party. Try combining precooked crab meat, cream cheese and a packet of cheese dip mix the day before your party, and all you’ll have to do on the big day is bake it for 5-7 minutes until it’s golden, bubbly, and so good your guests will never guess your secret.

Give chopping the axe. This year, there’s no need to wipe away tears as you chop and mince onions and garlic for recipe after recipe. Instead, take help from dehydrated seasoning blends, like Onion Onion from Tastefully Simple, which can be substituted for fresh ingredients in your favorite recipes or mixed with sour cream for a delicious dip in seconds.

Make your ingredients multitask. When you’re stocking the pantry prior to your holiday party, choose a lineup of flavorful products that offer more versatility than other one-note wonders. For instance, a jar of cranberry-pomegranate preserves can easily do double-duty. First, use it as a tasty glaze for beef or pork, and then serve up the remaining spread with toasted English muffins on Christmas morning.

Do homemade in a hurry. Nothing says “home” like the smell of bread baking in the oven â�¦ but who has time for mixing, kneading, rising and so on? It’s easier than you might think to have your homemade bread and enjoy it, too, with Tastefully Simple’s signature Bountiful Beer Bread Mix. This versatile bread mix can be prepared with any carbonated beverage and takes just 30 seconds to mix together before popping it in the oven.

Add life to leftovers. Rather than reheating the entire holiday spread for an encore presentation, try using up leftovers in creative yet quick recipes. For example, beef roast can be shredded and added to your favorite just-addwater soup mix, while mashed potatoes are perfect in warm, cheesy casseroles.

State House – Rep. Joy Hearn has earned the top score in the General Assembly on the Environmental Council of Rhode Island’s biennial Green Report Card.

Representative Hearn was one of only five legislators to receive an A+ grade, with the top score in the General Assembly of 10 .

The council, a coalition of people and organizations who advocate for responsible environmental legislation and policy, rated lawmakers’ records on environmental legislation this legislative term, and recently released the results.

Representative Hearn, a Democrat who represents District 66 in Barrington and East Providence, received the top score from the group for her support of environmentally conscious legislation in the 009 and 010 legislative session.

The measures she supported include:  A 009 law creating green building standards.  A 009 law requiring National Grid to procure at least 9% of its load through long-term contracts for renewable energy.  A 009 measure ensuring that Camp Meehan remains as open space.  A 009 law raising the daily fines for environmental polluters from $1,000 to $ 5,000.

November 010 The Reporter  A 010 law to codify the Attorney General’s authority to enforce conservation easements that protect open space.

A 010 law requiring the state’s diesel-powered construction vehicle fleet to be retrofitted.

“Restoring and preserving our environment must be among the top priorities for our government,” said Representative Hearn. “It is an honor to receive the highest score in the General Assembly on the Green Report Card and I look forward to continuing to work with the Environmental Council to make Rhode Island more environmentally-friendly.”

traffic Light Needed

Bruce DiTraglia, Councilman from Ward 4 – East Providence said that “while walking our district it has come to my attention that there is a definite need for a traffic light at the intersection of Forbes Street and Rte 114.”

The Councilman further stated that he felt it should be fairly easy to open up the median strip in that area and allow traffic to proceed both north and south onto Rte 114 as long as the state approves the use of a traffic light in this section.

Mr. DiTraglia said there have been many accidents at this intersection and I plan to make a formal request to our State Representative and State Senator from Riverside and ask of their support of such a project to benefit the people of the Fourth Ward and all the citizens traveling that road.

Councilman DiTraglia stated that we all represent the same constituency and we need to work together for the benefit of the people.

rep. Hearn Participates in international Walk to School Day

State House – Rep. Joy Hearn (D-Dist. 66, Barrington, East Providence) took part in International Walk to School Day, which aims to enhance the health of students and improve air quality and the environment.

“We had a great turnout this morning and we could not have asked for a more beautiful autumn day. I’m so pleased to have been a part of such an important event,” said Representative Hearn.

“International Walk to School Day focuses on all the reasons that walking or biking to school helps students, parents, neighborhoods, schools, and towns.”

“At Hampden Meadows School we combine bike to school with our walk to school day. Pencils and stickers with our school pride logo are given out to all walkers and bikers as they enter the school grounds. This recognition sends a positive message and encourages participation in future events,” said Lauren Graham, an educator who serves as the event coordinator for the school. “Our school holds a second walk/bike to school day in May coordinating with National Health and Fitness week. In addition we hold a bike safety program and invite local police to talk about rules of the road and helmet laws.”

In 1997, the Partnership for a Walkable America sponsored the first National Walk Our Children to School Day in Chicago, modeled after the United Kingdom’s lead. By 00 , children, parents, teachers and community leaders in all 50 states joined nearly 3 million walkers around the world to celebrate the second annual International Walk to School Day. In 005, new legislation recognized the value of Safe Routes to School programs and provides funding for states to establish programs. Lawmakers and other government officials are now paying closer attention to the importance of safe walking and biking to school. Obesity, concern for the environment and the effects of urban sprawl on communities has led to the joining of efforts among those that care about these and other related issues like school siting and traffic congestion.

This year, 34 schools across Rhode Island held Walk to School events to encourage walking to neighborhood schools.

Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® Pass it on

BRIGGS FAMILY

Use the Extra Hour to Remind Your Friends, Family and Neighbors to Change Their Smoke Alarm Batteries and Make a Positive Change in Your Community.

Daylight-saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 7, and marks the 3rd anniversary of the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program, created by Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), which reminds people to check and change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors during the fall time change. This message is simple, and the habit can be lifesaving. Forty percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes without working smoke alarms, while 3 percent occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate.* Firefighters work tirelessly to help reduce the risk factors by educating their residents on the importance of having a working smoke alarm. In many communities, fire departments are able to distribute free batteries to citizens in need as a result of the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program.

“Each year, thousands of lives are forever changed due to the devastating effects of a home fire, especially when home fire fatalities are a factor,” said Chief Jack E. Parow, EFO, president and chairman of the board of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. “A working smoke alarm is a family’s best defense for surviving a home fire.”

This year, the public can play an important role in helping to spread the life-saving message.

Celebrate The Spirit of the Holidays with a Christmas Carol trinity rep’s 34th Annual Production runs November 19-December 31

Providence, RI: Trinity Rep is celebrating its 34th year of presenting Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, adapted by Adrian Hall and Richard Cumming, presented by Cardi’s Furniture Superstores. Performances begin on November 19 and run through December 31 in the Chace Theater. A timeless tale of forgiveness and hope enjoyed by generations of Rhode Island families, this classic earns earns rave reviews from audiences and critics year after year – “…there is no better Carol than the one that Trinity Repertory Company puts on every Christmas season,” lauded The Boston Globe after last year’s performance.

This annual New England holiday tradition will be reimagined for local audiences by director Michael Perlman, a 010 graduate of the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs.

This year’s production features only one adult cast lead by Mauro Hantman in the role of Scrooge, who will be joined by an ensemble of many Trinity Rep acting company favorites.

Tickets may be purchased by phone at (401) 351-4 4 , on line at www.trinityrep. com, or in person at the theater’s box office.

Adult ticket prices for A Christmas Carol are $40-$65, with best prices available for all November performances. All children’s tickets (age -14) are only $15. The first performance on November 19 at 7:30 p.m. is Pay What You Can (PWYC). PWYC tickets go on sale in the box office at 6:30 p.m. that evening with a limit of one ticket per person.

Trinity Rep continues to offer affordable $1 seats on the Chace Theater’s 1 th row bench for all performances. Additional discounted and rush tickets are also available; call box office for details. For information on group rates (parties of 0 or more) contact Group Sales at (401) 351-4 4 .

Appealing to young and old alike, this heartwarming story of the power of forgiveness shows us that anything is possible – and hope is always just around the corner. Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted on Christmas Eve by the eerie apparition of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley.

The ghost bears a stern warning that he has one last chance to mend the errors of his ways. Three spirits visit him that Christmas Eve — the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Through their magical travels that night, Scrooge greets Christmas morning with newfound joy and seizes the chance to redeem his ways.

Trinity Repertory Company’s artistic staff takes great measures each year to present the show as a fresh vision while staying true to its beautiful message. In his Carol, Director Michael Perlman says he plans to ask the audience to take the leap of aligning

themselves with that venerable (sometimes) villain, Ebenezer Scrooge. “This is going to be a Christmas Carol about Scrooge’s experience and how he transforms. We’re trying to create a world where anything can happen – there are surprises. From the very beginning, we hope to get a glimpse inside Scrooge’s head, how he experiences all the mysterious events that unfold over the course of the evening.”

Thinking about the Everyman in Scrooge – and the Scrooge in all of us – will help the audience engage fully in the play, hopes Perlman. There’s a reason this story is so timeless, he said, and the substance behind this continued on page 63...

The Reporter November 2010

November 2010 The Reporter continued from page 61... favored fable is all about our own relationship to the holiday spirit: “There’s a little bit of Scrooge in all of us, but there’s also a little bit of Tiny Tim in all of us. The fun of going to see A Christmas Carol is to see how far Scrooge can go and how far Tiny Tim can go, and to revel in both of those extremes. We can be our conflicted, three-dimensional selves, in the audience.”

Perlman is happy to share that he is trimming his Carol with a couple of traditional favorites: There will be lots of snow, and an impressive bit of flying.

Trinity Rep has assembled a talented design team to create the labyrinth of doorways in this magical reincarnation of this classic tale – Perlman envisions the set as an extension of Scrooge’s mind as he opens each door to find possibility, feast, famine, and ultimately, to choose the direction of his own fate. The production team includes Patrick Lynch (Set Designer), William Lane (Costume Designer), John Eckert (Lighting Designer) and Peter Sasha Hurowitz (Sound Designer) along with Michael Rice (Musical Director) and Jude Sandy (Choreographer).

Following in last year’s footsteps – and to allow for the run of It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play in the Dowling theater downstairs – this year’s production has only one adult cast, which features many Trinity Rep resident acting company favorites. Mauro Hantman is back this year for his second turn in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, and the cast includes company members Rachael Warren (Ghost of Christmas Past), Janice Duclos (Mrs. Partlet/Mrs. Fezziwig), and Joe Wilson Jr. (Ghost of Christmas Present 2); featuring guest artists Matt Clevy (Marley), Richard Donnelly (Fezziwig/Topper/Old Joe), Rebecca Gibel (Lucy), Jude Sandy (Ghost of Christmas Present 1) and Monica Willey (Fan).

Alongside the resident company are Brown/Trinity MFA program actors Brandon Drea (Fred), Madeleine Lambert (Belle), Zarina Shea (Mrs. Cratchit), and Richard Williams (Cratchit). Back this year is the lively music of Trinity Rep’s “house musicians” Kevin Fallon, Steve Jobe, Chris Lussier and Chris Turner.

Trinity Rep is also proud to welcome ten talented local children to the stage as they join in the magic and wonder of A Christmas Carol. Out of 156 children that auditioned, the following were chosen for the rotating children’s cast: Cranston resident Jonah King, 9, as Tiny Tim; Lincoln resident Julianna McGuirl, 12, as Belinda/ Young Belle; North Providence residents Nigel Richards, 11, as Young Marley/Peter and Peter Medici, 12, as Tiny Tim; Providence residents Elliott Peters, 10, as Turkey Boy/Young Scrooge, Kateryne Nelson-Guerrero, 12, as Martha/Young Fan, and Emeline Herreid, 12, as Belinda/Young Belle; Warwick resident Brian Roque, 12, as Young Marley/Peter; Foxboro, Mass. resident Abby Spare, 12, as Martha/Young Fan; and Rehoboth, Mass. resident Liam Clancy, 10, as Turkey Boy/Young Scrooge.

Michael Perlman’s directing credits include Time of Your Life, Uncle Vanya, Hamlet (Motif Award: Best Director), A Doll’s House (Brown/Trinity MFA Programs); Dog Park, Life Science (Brown/Trinity Playwrights Rep); We Are Proud to Present a Presentation…, Exquisite Corpse (New Plays Festival); Oklahoma (Maples Rep); Love, I Hear (Stephen Foster Productions); Iphigenia and Other Daughters (Temporary Theatre Company); The Last Five Years (Stamford Center for the Arts); Winnie-the-Pooh (Hangar Theatre Kidstuff); Emperor of Ice Cream… and Romeo and Juliet (Hangar Theatre Lab Company.) Assistant directing credits include King Lear (Public Theatre, Director James Lapine), The Laramie Project (Matthew Shephard Foundation Benefit, Director Moises Kaufman), Cabaret, The Importance of Being Earnest (at Trinity Rep). In addition, Michael’s one-person show Flying on the Wing was presented at the New York Fringe Festival, where it was the winner of Outstanding Solo Show of 2006. Michael is proud to be a Drama League Directing Fellow, and holds a BA and MFA from Brown University.

riFPA and DCYF recognized For innovative Public-Private Partnership East Providence, RI - The Real Connections Program, a publicprivate partnership between the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association and the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families has been selected as one of 173 Bright Ideas Programs recognized by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. Bright Ideas recognizes and shares creative government initiatives around the country with interested public sector, nonprofit, and academic communities. This year’s cohort of Bright Ideas was chosen by a team of expert evaluators made up of academics, practitioners, and former public servants. Selected from a pool of nearly 600 applicants nationwide, the Real Connections Program promotes permanency for youth in foster care through the identification and cultivation of adult mentors. It is one of only two Rhode Island programs chosen for the honor.

“Real Connections is an innovative public-private partnership that would never have been possible without the leadership of DCYF Director Martinez and funding support from the private sector including the Rhode Island Foundation, the O’Halloran Family

Foundation and the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative. The program’s designation as a Bright Idea is truly a testament to the enormous impact that can be achieved through coordinated partnerships and investments,” said Lisa Guillette, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association.

Real Connections was launched in 006 as a small pilot program serving forty (40) youth in DCYF care who were most in danger of ‘aging out’ of foster care without permanent adult supports in their lives. Real Connections quickly became a vital resource to DCYF’s Permanency Support Teams. In 009, the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association and DCYF, together with seven other agency partners, received a three year, $ million federal grant to demonstrate and expand this permanency work for over 500 additional children and youth in DCYF care.

“Real Connections represents the comprehensive nature of Rhode Island’s system reform effort which is based on a shared vision that nothing is more important than providing each child with a safe, permanent home and a real connection. We have come together as state agencies, community providers, families and the philanthropic community to embrace this system reform which would not have been possible without the strong community partnerships. This recognition by the Ash Center for Democratic Government and Innovation validates the work we have undertaken and the goal to ensure every youth needs and deserves lasting connections to support them as they leave the structure of the more formal child welfare system,” said Patricia Martinez, Director, Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth & Families.

“Real Connections has made a real difference in the lives of children across Rhode Island. The Foundation and our donors seek to support innovative public-private collaborations like this because of the long-term positive impact in our communities, and this recognition rightly celebrates the success of this program.

We congratulate the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association and DCYF for this positive, good news story which reminds us that there are unsung heroes in our state working every day to make a difference,” said Neil D. Steinberg, president and CEO of The Rhode Island Foundation.

“For over 0 years we have been honoring the country’s most creative public sector initiatives through our Innovations in American Government Awards Program,” said Anthony Saich, director of the Ash Center. “The creation of Bright Ideas was a natural next step to shed light on an even greater number of noteworthy programs and practices across our nation and to encourage practitioners to make these ideas work in their own backyards.”

The 010 Bright Ideas will be showcased on the Center’s Government Innovators Network, an online marketplace of ideas and examples of government innovation for policymakers and practitioners. The inaugural group of Bright Ideas will serve as a cornerstone of a new online community where innovative ideas are proposed, shared, and disseminated. The Ash Center also envisions that these Bright Ideas have the potential to become future Innovations in American Government winners.

Bright Ideas is an initiative of the Ash Center’s Innovations in Government Program, which spotlights exemplary models of government innovation and advances efforts to address the nation’s most pressing public concerns. Throughout its history, the program has generated a wealth of research based on award-winning government innovations and the study of how innovation occurs.

About the Rhode Island Foster Parents Association The Rhode Island Foster Parents Association provides education and other forms of support to families who provide substitute care, and to the community at large, in order to further the cause of children who are unable to live with their parents.

The phones will either be recycled for their precious metals according to EPA standards or be refurbished for use in developing countries.

Who’s Who & What They Do Profiling Local Businesses new Business opens in Rehoboth

Located in Winthrop Commons on Rt.44, Quarry Brothers Inc. is the areas newest supplier of natural stone and hardscape products.

Most of you were used to seeing the antique barn sitting in front of a vacant lot. Well look again! They kept the exact structure but have done a board for board restoration on the barn. The outside has the classic Rehoboth look that we all know.

The inside is finished in rough pine, original exposed beams, a stone hearth and mantle, pellet stove, and soft saddle leather furniture.

The Quarry Brothers lounge is the ideal spot to browse their catalogs and speak with the knowledgeable sales staff. We found this the best way to shop when making the decision on our backyard patio.

“We wanted to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere here at our yard. We wanted to make our yard, your yard,” said Adam of Quarry Brothers. It was also nice to see that the employees are native to Rehoboth. Adam and Shawn were both born and raised in Rehoboth and plan to stay here for a long time to come. This was a great help to us knowing that they were familiar with the local landscape settings.

They have an excellent variety of products ranging from natural stone, paver patios, and retaining walls to outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and wood pellets. Don’t forget to stop in and ask them about their weekly specials. We’re glad we did and we will definitely be back for the pizza oven! ~Richard & Virginia from Lakeville

Recipe from Chef Erin...

Winner, winner turkey dinner! Are you cooking the Thanksgiving meal? I’m not.

That’s right, my mom insisted that she host and cook. You’re probably thinking, “She’s a chef. She should be cooking the turkey.”

Well, my mom insisted, and besides, preparing and cooking the turkey is pretty simple.

I think most people who have prepared a Thanksgiving meal will agree. It is all the side dishes and timing of them that make cooking and serving of the feast so involved.

While I won’t have to prepare the brunt of the meal, I will bring a couple of side dishes and some surprises.

Please note: My side dishes will not be surprises. Like most holiday traditions, there are certain expectations for the food at holidays. There are some food items that are always included and their preparation cannot vary. Maybe some of you have had the experience of visiting a roommate or inlaw’s holiday dinner and being shocked that your favorite side dish is not represented, or that the stuffing tastes nothing like your grandmother’s. I went to one Thanksgiving dinner where there were no mashed potatoes, that was especially alien to me.

I read about people being adventurous at the holidays and cooking all kinds of unique and exciting new turnip dishes and such. I think this only happens in culinary magazines, because whenever I have made the slightest change to the menu or method of preparing a food item for my family gathering, it has been met with contempt. I’m not saying my family won’t try new things.

They are, in general, very adventurous.

They love ethnic and interesting food, and they love to try new things, but not at Thanksgiving!

I know this because I made the mistake of trying something new a few years ago.

Everyone was polite, but I could tell they were disappointed. I know the roasted butternut was just as tasty as the mashed butternut, but I guess it didn’t look the same.

It wasn’t what everyone was used to, and it wasn’t what they were looking forward to when they thought about the meal. So if you are lucky enough to be invited to a holiday meal, bring what is expected. Bring what you are told to bring. Don’t mess with perfection. I learned my lesson.

If you want to bring something extra, a little surprise, bring a dessert, or snack or some nice compliment to the meal that can’t go wrong. This month’s recipes reflect that idea. This time of year I make Spiced Pecans all the time. They are super simple to make, healthy, and can be munched anytime of day. I fill mason jars with these, and often bring to gatherings for a nice hostess gift.

Does your family serve bread or rolls with the meal? Parker House rolls are the tradition in my family. My grandmother has been making them since I can remember.

My mouth literally starts to salivate just thinking about the buttery flavor and the light flaky dough of the roll. My mother has taken over the task of making the rolls, and I have begun to at least watch how it’s done. I will probably inherit the job myself someday. As you will see it is a time-consuming process

and a labor of love, but very worth it. If you are a dinner roll fan, you must try this classic and time-tested recipe from the Parker House Hotel in Boston.

You can’t go wrong bringing a dessert. I am featuring another excellent recipe from Gale Cardoza. Her original recipe for S’mores Cookies sound fabulous! I am making them to bring this year.

Thanks again Gale. The recipe follows.

Let’s all be accepting of new things at Thanksgiving dinner this year. Let’s all eat each other’s cooking and say it was good.

Give thanks for good food. Still asking for recipes to share. Please send to chefchicks@yahoo.com.

Come on, sharing is nice.

Parker House rolls

Yield: @36 rolls cups milk 1/4 cup butter + 3-4 TBS melted butter for brushing ¼ cup sugar tsp salt packages ( TBS) yeast ¼ cup lukewarm water 5 ½ - 6 cups sifted flour Bring the milk to a boil. Add butter, sugar and salt and cool to lukewarm.

Stir yeast into lukewarm water and let soften 10 minutes. Add to the milk mixture.

Add about ¾ of the flour, mix and beat well.

Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn out onto a floured board, let rest about 10 minutes, then knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Brush a large bowl with melted butter.

Place dough in a buttered bowl, covered with greased plastic wrap, and let rise, preferably in a warm place ( 0- 5 degrees) until doubled in bulk (@ hours).

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead lightly until the surface is smooth.

Roll dough to ½ inch thickness and cut into 3” rounds. Using the dull edge of a knife, make a crease slightly off center across each roll. Invert roll, brush with melted butter and fold larger “half” over smaller half.

Place rolls 1 inch apart on greased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled in bulk, 30-40 minutes.

About 10 minutes before rolls have risen, preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Brush rolls with a touch more melted butter and bake 15- 0 minutes until golden brown.

National Park Service Ranger John McNiff, noted anthropologist, historian and actor, will lead a lively discussion on Roger Williams’ travels, including a brief stay in East Providence, before heading across the Seekonk River to settle in Providence. We’ll learn more about the life of Williams who is known as a champion for religious freedom and why a 4.5 acre tract of land along North Main St. in Providence was chosen as the site of the Roger Williams National Memorial. If you haven’t been to the Memorial you’ll be surprised to learn about the “happenings” and new plans for this beautiful park-like destination. Mark your calendar!

The East Providence Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the heritage and enjoying the history of our city. http://www. ephist.org.
