Look for NTWon Wednesday, Next Week

By Jill Connors

The new seven-member town council that will govern Middle-town for the next two years took its oath of office Monday night dur-ing the regularly scheduled Town Council meeting held in Town Hall. Rhode Island State Senator Louis DiPalma administered the oath to four re-elected council members, Richard Cambra, Christopher Se-monelli, Edward Silveira, Jr., and Barbara VonVillas; and three newly elected members, Bruce Long, An-tone Viveiros, and Arthur Weber, Jr.

During Monday’s meeting, the new council voted unanimously to elect Arthur Weber, Jr., as Council President, and Bruce Long as Coun-cil Vice-Chair. Weber’s leadership on the town Planning Board was men-tioned in support of his nomination as president. Bruce Long’s commit-ment to public service (28 years in the Rhode Island General Assem-bly) was mentioned in support of his nomination as vice-chair.

Elected for a two-year term, the Town Council is the “policy-deter-mining body of the town,” accord-ing to The Charter of the Town of Middletown, and is charged with enacting all local legislation. Ap-proving the town’s consolidated budget (administrative and school)

Waluk to Serve as Mayor

Citing procedure,incumbent councilors

side with former mayor

By Tom Shevlin

Three-term councilor and former mayor Stephen C. Waluk, appears headed for another go at the helm of the City Council. Waluk, who earned the third-highest number of votes in the Nov. 2 election, has secured commitments from four out of seven councilors in his bid to return to the mayor’s office, a posi-tion he last held from 2006-2008.

Known for his precision in run-ning meetings, and his near ency-clopedic understanding of parlia-mentary procedure, Waluk said on Wednesday that he plans on calling a caucus of incoming council mem-bers for sometime in the coming two weeks.

Transient’s Vandalism Spree Frustrates Store Owners

See COUNCIL on page 3

By Lynne Tungett

Shopkeepers and business owners along Broadway were shaking their heads in frustration last Friday morning, Nov. 12, as they talked about their vandal-ized glass windows and doors, randomly etched with “X’s.” The police have documented 33 such marking incidents.

“It would have been devas-tating if our big windows had gotten it. I guess you could say we got lucky with just this,” said Brad Cherevaty, as he pointed to the small “X” on a standard size glass door. Cherevaty is one of the owners of Fifth Element on Broadway, that has used full-length glass panels all along the front of the soon-to-be-opened restaurant.

Further acts of vandalism on Thames Street and on Washing-ton Square led to the arrest of David A. Depue on Saturday, Nov. 13. at 6 a.m. by officer Matthew Clark. A witness reported to po-lice he saw Depue use a rock and scratch an “X” on windows and doors. In addition, Long Wharf Mall management reported sev-en damaged glass windows. Ac-cording to the Saturday police report, the ten combined acts of vandalism on Thames and Long Wharf was estimated at approxi-mately $35,000 in damages.

Depue was arraigned on Mon., Nov. 15 and sent to the Adult Correctional Institute (ACI) in

Warwick because of a probation violation. He was arrested in Sep-tember of this year for vandaliz-ing an auto in the Newport Hos-pital parking lot and sentenced six-months probation. Because he was picked up, again, on sim-ilar charges, Depue was held without bail at the Newport Po-lice Department until his arraign-ment in court on Monday.

Depue, a 50-year-old, white male, listed Ohio as his place of birth and 15 Meeting Street as his residence on the arrest re-

cord. The Newport Police depart-ment also said they felt Depue may have had “some mental is-sues.” Since the beginning of the year, 100 arrestees have listed 15 Meeting St. as their address for police.

15 Meeting Street, or The McK-inney Shelter, is the emergency shelter that is part of the housing complex known as 50 Washing-ton Square. The building complex also encompasses a transitional shelter at 4 Farewell Street called Emory Lodge and River Lane

Apartments, low-income units for 108 individuals at 19 River Lane. Police records do not reflect any arrestees with the River Lane ad-dress and only 12 arrests with the Farewell address.

Additionally, police records indicate 189 dispatch calls to 50 Washington Square since Jan. 1 of this year; 22 of those have oc-curred since Oct. 1.

It is not uncommon for ar-restees to list one of those ad-

AROUND TOWNBy Meg O’Neil

Stepping off the boat in the quiet fall air and onto the beach at Rose Island may just as well have been a world away. Consider it the ultimate staycation; a study in Rhode Island history; and still–after two decades –one of Newport’s best kept se-crets. As a local, it can be easy to take this iconic, yet somehow iso-lated, landmark for granted. A jaunt over on a recent Sunday morning, however, has cast this place in a new light. Perhaps, I say to myself, it’s time to rediscover Rose Island; Getting away from it all without ever actually leaving town.

Every Sunday through Thursday during November, in a deal that is going to be extended throughout the month of March, guests can stay at the Rose Island Lighthouse‘s first floor museum level for $100 a night. “What makes this place dif-ferent in the winter is that it’s so quiet. There’s no ferry running ev-ery couple hours, there aren’t con-stant crowds coming through do-ing tours. It’s great in the summer, but the offseason is really nice too,” explained Dave McCurdy, executive director of the Rose Island Light-house Foundation.

The offer is open to anyone who wishes to spend the night in one of the bedrooms on the first floor of

the 1870 keeper’s house. McCurdy continued, “We’re trying to get lo-cals to come out to the island. A lot of locals don’t go out in Newport in the summer; they try to avoid the crowds; they tend not to come out until the season ends. It’s nice to have the locals, because a lot of our business is word of mouth. We’re a small foundation with not a lot of money for marketing, so we try to get our local friends to tell their friends about their stay out here. I’ll ask people how they heard about us – and it’s all word of mouth.” There’s an even better deal start-ing in January for local businesses,” McCurdy explained, “Beginning in January, we’re going to be offer-ing a free night for industry people. Those who work in restaurants and bars around town. The deal is they come out here for a night, have fun, and they talk nice about us and spread the word. It’s worked out well in the past.”

You may have heard the rumor that staying at the lighthouse over-night must be booked three years in advance. Simply not true, Mc-Curdy says. “A lot of times on the harbor cruises, the guides will say something like, ‘Oh that’s Rose Is-land Lighthouse out there. You can stay there, but it’s booked for three years.’ It’s not booked up like that, not true at all.” Especially not

true for the off-season. If you want to book a night in the peak season of summer, McCurdy recommends you start booking a room now, but for a nice overnight in the winter, no need. Simply log onto to the website at www.roseislandlight-hosue.org and you can check on the room availability page to find out which nights are open. Find the night you like, and call them to book it at 847-4242. The best time to call is between 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Monday through Friday to talk with a real, live person.

“It’s kind of hard to describe what we are out here, but I describe it as

a Bed and Break-fast without the breakfast,” jokes McCurdy. Because there is no re-frigeration, guests are to bring their own food and drinks in coolers. And don’t think it will be too cold to stay out there this winter. “The winds can be rough, but it can be so calm too. Guests can have days out here in the middle of winter when you’re warm in a sweatshirt. The lighthouse itself stays incred-ibly warm. Guests may need a few extra blankets, but those are pro-vided for you.”

Having never been to the island before, I was able to take a few hours and explore much of the pic-turesque landscape that surrounds the lighthouse and feel as though I was a whole world away from New-port. With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, it’s sometimes

easy to forget that we have a place as beautiful as this in our own back-yard. With no televisions, or wireless internet to keep you company on the island, it’s a place where guests can focus on stepping away from the modern amenities of today, and slip back to a simpler time, with a panoramic view from the top of the lighthouse that is almost impos-sible to comprehend unless seen with your own eyes. One glimpse of the guestbook, and you can read the personal accounts of guests from states all over the country, who come into our town to spend their vacations. Why not take a break this winter, pack a cooler, a fa-vorite bottle of wine, your main girl or guy, and head out to Rose Island Lighthouse? A Newport experience like no other.

Current mayor Jeanne-Marie Na-politano had been waging an ag-gressive effort of her own to se-cure the needed votes to continue on as mayor, but ultimately fell one vote shy. Third Ward Councilwom-an Kathryn E. Leonard notified Na-politano of her decision to support Waluk prior to the council’s Nov. 10 meeting, and made her decision known publicly on Wednesday. She joined with Councilors Charles Y. Duncan and Justin S. McLaughlin to make up the four votes needed for Waluk to secure the post.

McLaughlin also made his vote known on Wednesday follow-ing a sit-down with Napolitano on Monday in which he shared his concerns over the processes of the council which he believes could be better served under dif-ferent leadership.

As the highest vote-getter in

each of the city’s last three elec-tions, Napolitano was shaken, but resigned to the news.

“The charter guides this whole process,” she said, adding that re-gardless of where she sits on the dais, “I believe I’ve been elected overwhelmingly by the people, and I’ll continue to do the work of an at-large councilor.”

Reflecting back on the past two years as Newport’s first female mayor, she added, “I found it very gratifying, and took it as a real honor to have had the job.”

Among Waluk’s priorities over the coming weeks: securing ap-pointments of key administra-tion officials and setting in place a strategic planning process to guide the council over the next two years so that the new council can hit the ground running when its seated in January.

MAYOR CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

The Eastern Ice Co. building on Brown and Howard Wharf has been the subject of redevelopment plans for the past several years.

By Tom Shevlin

Planning Board members on Monday gave their approval to a special use permit as part of a pro-posed mixed-use structure at the site of the former Eastern Ice Com-pany building on Brown and How-ard Wharf.

In a unanimous vote, the board found that the proposal by Newport LLC concurs with the city’s Compre-hensive Land Use Plan, with several members voicing their approval for the improved design.

It was the second time the proj-ect has come before the board for their review. An earlier version was also approved on the planning lev-el, but was sent back for revisions to comply with flood plain require-ments. Monday’s meeting centered around a request to incorporate a four-unit residential component to the proposed building – or two more than the site is entitled to un-der ordinance. It was the only as-pect of the new plan that required a special approval.

According to planning officials, as presented, the project required no other zoning variances. In addi-

tion to the four residential units, the project calls for the incorporation of retail, professional, and business space. Fifty-two parking spaces will also accompany the 20,764-square-foot space, including 23 spaces sur-rounding the building, and another 29 in a lower level parking garage.

If approved by the Zoning Board, the new structure would feature a stone facade with decorative cor-nice work, floor-to-ceiling win-

dows, and a 3 1/2-story entryway dividing the building into two dis-tinct wings.

Planning Board Chair Naomi Neville inquired into what impact the building would have on access down the wharf. Attorney Mark Bardorf replied that the improve-ments to the site should enhance access, adding that, “There’s been an extreme effort to make sure this is conforming with all zoning uses.”

is the most critical duty of the coun-cil in any given year. Per the Charter, the council can also “create, change and abolish town offices, depart-ments and agencies,” raise taxes and order assessments, and, in per-haps the most over-arching duty, it can “enact, amend or repeal ordi-nances for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, com-fort and welfare, and for the protec-tion of persons and property.” The Council is also responsible for hir-ing a Town Administrator, who ex-ecutes all policies.

Also sworn in at Monday night’s meeting were three recently re-elected Middletown School Com-mittee members: Michael Crowley, Jr., Liana Ferreira-Fenton, and The-resa Silveira Spengler.

The Town Council’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Monday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m., in Town Hall.

COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Twenty-two-year old Army Sgt. Michael Paranzino, who was killed in Afghanistan last week, was laid to rest Monday in his hometown of Middletown.

Hundreds of mourners turned out under cloudy, gray skies to St. Lucy’s Church where local and state police, as well as military person-nel, honored the fallen soldier as his casket was transported into the church for a traditional Catholic Mass of Christian Burial, shortly be-fore 11 a.m.

Sergeant Paranzino was a grad-uate of Middletown High School, class of 2006.

Dear Federico,My Sister inherited this pottery pedes-

tal from our Mother. It is about 40” tall. There used to be a matching flower pot but when I was a kid I ran into the pedes-tal and knocked the pot to the floor. It was very heavy and made a huge crash. Who made the pedestal and what’s it worth? Thanks, A clumsy kid.

Dear Clumsy,

I guess if you hadn’t knocked the ‘flow-er pot’ off the pedestal you might have inherited the pedestal! This pedestal is an excellent example of English Majolica, circa 1875-80, made by the Minton Fac-tory. If you look on the inside, you should find an impressed mark. Usually more de-sirable in pairs, it has a value of between $4,000 and $5,000.The Cachepot (flower pot) would have doubled the value. C’est la vie.

Cliff Walk Gets COA-CleanClean Ocean Access (COA) performed a Beach Clean in Newport,

Rhode Island along the entire cliff walk from Memorial Boulevard to Bai-ley’s Beach via the Public Access Right of Way at Marine Beach on No-vember 13th 2010. A group of 29 people, including 14 students from Salve Regina University and residents of the city of Newport, Bristol and Middletown, collected 7 contractor bags (100 pounds) of trash which was predominantly ocean-based plastics and fishing gear, as well as 8 mangled lobster pots.

This was the 7th cleanup performed by COA along the Newport Cliff Walk and is part of the bi-annual cleanup for the adopted Public Right of Way at Ruggles Avenue, which was adopted in the spring of 2008. The first cleanup at this location was on Nov. 10 2007 when the group collected 10 contractor bags of trash, including 12 lobster pots and numerous buoys.

This marks the 32nd coastal cleanup performed by Clean Ocean Ac-cess in the past 50 months and the next scheduled event is on Dec. 4 at Hull Cove in Jamestown, which is halfway between Mackerel Cove and Beavertail Point, five more events are scheduled each month from January thru May of 2011.

Clean Ocean Access is an environmental group concerned with safety, cleanliness and open access of the ocean and coastlines. The group was formed in the summer of 2006 as a result of access issues along the shoreline, water pollution at area beaches and a general interest of ocean enthusiasts. They work towards preserving the envi-ronment of today, for tomorrow and future generations and to allow us to continue to enjoy ocean activities.

OPINIONEDITORIAL

Finally. Three weeks after voters went to the polls to select a new slate of City Council members, Newporters are now given the chance to put the election behind them. The selection of the city’s mayor signals, not just a change in leadership, but as far as the coun-cil goes, the beginning of the next two years.

And while politics can be messy, governance needn’t be. We hope that the apparent resolution in the race for council chair can redirect the community’s attention back to the issues that really matter.

Mayor Jeanne-Marie Napolitano needs to be commended for her work over the last two years. With seemingly relentless drive and boundless energy, Ms. Napolitano represented the city well in her official capacity.

As mayor, she embraced her role as the face of the city, and the community embraced her back. For the fourth time (if you include September’s primary), Ms. Napolitano earned the highest number of votes out of any council candidate on the ticket.

It’s a record that’s nearly unprecedented in Newport’s electoral history, and is something to be applauded.

Two years ago, she succeeded then-Mayor Stephen C. Waluk, who had been re-elected by only a narrow margin after his first term as mayor and council chair. Over the last two years, Mr. Waluk has served on the council well as an At-Large representative. And though rivals of late, when Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin resigned his position as the council’s vice-chair, it was Mr. Waluk who stepped in to serve alongside Ms. Napolitano. It was a show of good faith on both councilors’ parts. So now, it is that Mr. Waluk has extended an offer to Ms. Napolitano to serve as his vice-chair.

We hope that she gives the invitation its due consideration, and that over the next two years on the council, we see more acts of good faith and less gamesmanship.

FOR THE RECORDThis week, 14,000 copies of Newport This Week were printed

and distributed at 302 locations in Newport, Middletown, and Jamestown.

To the Editor;

I wish to correct two noticeable errors in your newspaper this week. In the article about “The Glow on Bellevue”, Tom Shevlin tells us “to take note of the wide concrete slabs that make up the roadway’. Please have Tom take a spin in front of the Doris Duke house so that he may be able to appreciate the masterful patchwork of asphalt that has recently graced the area. Regarding the article about resto-ration awards, it was mentioned that “The Tavern” was “a rugged, rundown biker bar”. As the article

mentioned, “Longtime Newport-ers” will remember the bar–yes I do remember The Tavern–but nev-er as a “biker bar” The Tavern was a bar frequented mostly by locals who, contrary to your article, either walked or drove a car. I did not fre-quent the Tavern during the last 10 or 15 years of its existence, yet I never envisioned it to be anything more than a local bar catering to all walks of life–not primarily bikers.

Members of the city’s Historic Dis-trict Commission on Tuesday voted unanimously to deny a proposal to install replacement windows at the historic Waves compound at 61 Ledge Rd., saying instead that when you have an opportunity to restore a property to its proper his-toric nature, you should seize it.

Making their third appearance before the commission, represen-tatives for The Waves Condomini-um Association noted that roughly 40 percent of the windows at the property have been replaced over the years with Andersen-style units not dissimilar to the original metal-framed windows. Property Manag-er Ronald Grandchamp was seeking approval to replace the 24 remain-ing windows in a similar fashion. However commissioners were hesi-tant to continue down that road.

In a notable move, prompted by strong feelings over the historical significance of the building, HDC Chairman John Shehan recused himself from the matter, instead of-fering a formal letter of objection into the record.

“It is my opinion that this iconic structure has been compromised since being converted from a pri-vate residence into apartments and condominiums,” he wrote. It is, he feared, suffering “a death by 1,000 cuts.”

Built in 1927 by acclaimed archi-tect John Russell Pope as his per-sonal residence, The Waves occu-pies a prominent place in both the geography and architectural histo-ry of Newport.

Pope was responsible for some of the country’s most recognizable designs, including the Jefferson Memorial, National Archives, and National Gallery of Art in Washing-ton, D.C., and his Waves residence – perched along the Cliff Walk – re-mains regarded as one of the city’s true architectural gems.

HDC Denies Window Replacement Request at Waves Property

Gooseberry Bath Houses Clears Two Hurdles

By Tom Shevlin

A proposal by the Gooseberry Beach Association to construct a row of 22 new bathhouses adjacent to its clubhouse on Ocean Drive re-ceived the approval of two critical review panels earlier this week.

First, Planning Board members on Monday voted unanimously to approve the application for a special use permit for the project, which they found to be in keeping with the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The following night, His-toric District Commissioners also lent their support for the project, deeming the 1,285-foot bath house space appropriate for the semipri-vate beach club.

But before members stake their claims to the new cabanas, the pro-posal needs to win the support of the city’s Zoning Board of Review, which last year denied a larger plan that called for the addition of 44 bath houses.

This latest scaled-down plan calls for one row of bath houses, plus interior improvements includ-ing changing facilities to be con-structed just north of the existing clubhouse.

According to the application, while simple in their construction – they are unheated and have nei-ther plumbing or electricity – the bath houses are essential to the op-eration of the club. Currently, there are 117 bath house units, however this number is far too inadequate to accommodate the demand on the waiting list.

The annual rate of turnover is only one or two per year, according to the applicants – and many of the members have been forced to wait “an unreasonable amount of time before a bathhouse becomes avail-able, if at all.”

Zoning Board members are ex-pected to take up the matter at their next meeting later this month.

Also of noted during this month’s Planning Board meeting, members voted to:

- Approve an application for a fast food permit for a new Subway sandwich shop to be located at 359 Thames Street

- And continued an application to allow an outdoor mobile kitch-en to be placed at 254 Thames St., home of Kilwin’s Chocolates until more details can be provided.

Paiva Weed to Lead Senate AgainBy Erik Thorsen

The Democratic representatives of the Rhode Island Senate en-dorsed the reelection of M. Theresa Paiva Weed as President of the Sen-ate at the Democratic Caucus held on Nov. 10. Weed has just finished her first two-year term as President of the Senate. The actual election of the President, by the full mem-bership of the Senate will take place on Jan. 4, 2011, which marks the first day of the new legislative session.

Weed has been a member of the Rhode Island Senate since becom-ing an elected official in 1992. She became the first woman in Rhode Island’s history to serve as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee, in which she served from 1997 to 2000. She went on to serve as Deputy Chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee’s Subcommit-tee on Public Safety and the Envi-ronment from 2000 until 2002. She then served as the Vice Chairwom-an of the Senate Finance Com-mittee from 2002 until 2004. She spent the next five years serving as Senate majority leader from 2004 through 2008.

Since becoming an elected member of the Senate in 1992 Weed has played an integral role in the reformation of various leg-islative issues including the State’s welfare system, property taxes, ed-

ucation reform, and environmental protection laws. While all of these issues are important, she be-lieves that her reform of the welfare system was her greatest success.

“I would say that my greatest achievement would have to be the restructuring of the welfare system in which I reenacted the family in-dependence plan” said Weed. The family independence plan was not only a success for Weed but also for struggling families across the state of Rhode Island. The Family Inde-pendence plan provides cash assis-tance and work preparation servic-es to families with children under the age of 18 years old.

Although Weed has been instru-mental in the reform of many of these legislative issues, she gives credit to her colleagues in the Sen-ate as well. “It is said that no leader ever suffers because of the talent and dedication of the individuals around that leader. In this regard, I am very fortunate to have a skill-ful, farsighted partner in Majority Leader Dominick Ruggerio, and a chamber filled with individuals who are working tirelessly to make Rhode Island a better place,” said President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed.

During her first two years in of-fice as President of the Senate, Weed saw the economic develop-ment of the State of Rhode Island as the most important issue to ad-dress and reform.

Although the overall economic state of Rhode Island struggling, Weed believes that Newport is far-ing better than the rest of the state. She attri-butes this to the pres-ence of the d e f e n s e i n d u s t r y here in Newpor t . “The pres-ence of the d e f e n s e i n d u s t r y, as well as the Navy, has helped N e w p o r t C o u n t y through this recession,” said Weed.

Weed represents District 13, which includes Jamestown and portions of Newport. As a resident of Newport, she is looking forward to two more successful years as President of the Rhode Island Sen-ate. Weed states that in the next two years she wishes to focus on a balanced budget, as well as economic development, specifi-cally work force development. “I am continuing efforts to change Rhode Island’s image,” said Weed. “I want Rhode Island to become known as a state that is friendly to do business in.”

dresses, even though they are not staying there. When Deb Johnston, director of 50 Washington Square, was asked if Depue lived there, she said she would have to check and call NTW back.

Registered with the Secretary of State’s office as a Domestic Prof-it Corporation, FWS Corp. has its principal office listed at 50 Wash-ington Square with Stephen P. Os-tiguy as president and Robert M. Sabel, ESQ. as the registered agent. Church Community Housing Cor-poration, a domestic non-profit corporation, also has its princi-pal offices listed at 50 Washington Square with Stephen P. Ostiguy as the registered agent and Tammy White as the president. (At the time of this report, neither Ostiguy or White had returned our calls.)

According to Sabel, who re-sponded to our inquiry about Depue’s residency, “The Middle-town Police brought Dupue to us on Nov. 8 because they were con-cerned about him being out in the elements. He stayed in the shelter on the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th.” Sa-bel went on to say that the shelter cooperates with the police depart-

ments and tries to find out what kind of services the individual needs. Sabel also stated that they do not process a criminal check un-less someone is applying to lease one of the apartments.

Bud Cicilline, Executive Director of Newport County Community Mental Health (NCCMH) and board member of 50 Washington Square, said he was unaware of Depue’s vandalism spree. He went on to say that NCCMH has a case worker at 50 Washington and they “maintain a presence in the building.”

Kate Leonard, Newport City council representative for 50 Wash-ington Square, stated, “I’ve talked to 50 Washington’s attorneys for years about seeing things change there. In my opinion, they need more pro-grams to help the people there.”

“I know that all the problem in-dividuals are not necessarily from here, we know that other facili-ties around the state hand out bus tickets to Newport. But, it seems like we are enabling these people and not giving them the assistance they need,” Leonard added

“I’ve met with Steve Ostiguy in the past,” continues Leonard, “I had

a philanthropist who would have provided enough funds to relo-cate everyone who lived there; all the building’s programs, and meet Steve’s long list of requirements, like being near a bus line and near their offices.”

Steve Brady, a property owner on Broadway and the current lead per-son for the Broadway Improvement Organization, commented, “We want the clients and employees of 50 Washington Square to have a state-of-the-art facility for their programs and residents. It will take the ‘two sides’ to make improve-ments for a cleaner and healthier environment all around. This is the collective thought of many people, not just my own.”

Following a meeting last week on Nov. 11 at Channing Memori-al Church, a second gathering has been set for Dec. 9 to discuss relat-ed issues surrounding Newport’s homelessness.

First-time event brings 50 exhibitors, speakers to the Hyatt

Ballroom By Katherine Imbrie

At this time of the year, when waistlines tend to expand and ex-ercise programs fall by the way-side under an onslaught of holiday events and obligations, it’s good to know that there’s help out there. Staying well and happy through the holiday season is the focus of a new event, the Holiday Health and Wellness Expo, to be held Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Hyatt Re-gency hotel.

It’s hoped that the event will be-come an annual one, says Jessica Castiglia of Newport Marketing & Events, which is organizing the Expo. “Newport has a focus on well-ness and fitness, with all the mara-thons and the spas and the exer-cise places that there are here. And the city is also a destination for so many people. So it’s a natural loca-tion for a health expo. We’re hoping to see it get bigger every year.”

With 50 exhibitors from Aquid-neck Island and southern New England coming to the event, and with 500 to 1,000 people expect-ed to attend, the Expo is perfectly timed, adds Castiglia: “For so many people, the holiday season can be stressful and involve a lot of over-indulging. And a lot of people tend to wait until Jan. 1 to start clean. We want them to come to the Expo and find ways to stay sane, and stay healthy and happy right through the holidays.”

Among the exhibitors at the event are several fitness and exer-cise-oriented businesses in New-port and Middletown, including Innerlight Center for Yoga & Medi-tation, Train With Jane Athletics, Renaissance Fitness Studio, and Is-land CrossFit. There are also nutri-tion and food exhibitors, includ-ing Sakonnet Vineyards, The Daily Shake, and Juice Plus. The Hyatt’s

Windward Restaurant has a new chef, Kyle Ketchum, who will do cooking demonstrations of health-conscious holiday menus. Valley Primary Care will offer free glucose and blood pressure testing.

The keynote speaker for the event is Rhode Island author Dara

Chadwick, who will talk about body image and health in the con-text of her book, “You Would Be So Pretty If... Teaching Our Daugh-ters to Love Their Bodies — Even When We Don’t Love Our Own.” At noon, there will be a panel dis-cussion on dealing with stress, led by radio talk-show personality Pa-tricia Raskin, whose idea it was to hold the Expo in Newport. “I went to one at Twin Rivers, and I thought that I would love to do something in Newport with David (Rosenberg of Marketing & Events) and Susan Lataille (of DiscoverYou Wellness Expos). So the three of us worked on it and we think it will really catch on. Our target audience is age-35-plus people who are interested in health and emotional wellness and who understand that we have a re-sponsibility to ourselves and to our

loved ones to stay healthy so that we can come together in love and gratitude for the holidays. That’s what we really want to reinforce at this event.”

Participating on the stress-man-agement panel will be Newport corporate trainer and executive coach Terry Wildemann. As part of her business, which is called Winds of Change, she sees her role as “helping people to get out of their own way” and reduce stress. Wil-demann thinks the timing is per-fect for the Expo: “It’s a time of year when there is stress, yes. But we have to understand that there will always be stress in our lives, and it’s what you do with it that matters.”

Among several local fitness busi-nesses at the Expo is Train With Jane Athletics (www.trainwithjaneath-letics.com) of Middletown. Owner

and trainer Jane Beezer says she signed on for the event right away. “The Hyatt is a great venue, and it’s a good time of year to get people out and thinking about health and fitness. It’s a funny time right now, because people find they have to make choices: Hmm… Cocktails? Or workout?”

At Train With Jane, Beezer of-fers Pilates, resistance stretching, and personal training. At her Expo booth, she’ll be doing demonstra-tions of Pilates with a ring and foam roller. “We’ll also have dis-counted gift certificates, and we’ll have samples of Mila – which is a raw food packed with Omega 3s, and we’ll be raffling off gift cer-tificates and other goodies. It’s a great opportunity for people to get out and get a jump on their New Year’s resolutions.”

Cranberries are colorful, seasonal, and healthfulBy Portia Little

Who can resist those rosy red cranberries this time of year? Their bright color pairs so well with Thanksgiving and Christmas, ac-centing turkey, pork, or ham dishes with a luscious tartness.

Take advantage of super mar-ket specials on cranberries, buy-ing them up ahead to pop into the freezer for use later. In fact, cran-berries keep in the fridge for up to a month, or in the freezer for up to nine months, and you usually don’t even have to defrost them before using. To keep them at their best, don’t wash them until just before using. And chopping them in a food processer is the easiest way as they tend to roll away when you use a knife.

As for the health benefits of cranberries they’re loaded with tannins, which guard against infec-tions. Tannins are also antioxidents, which may help prevent certain cancers and also contribute to car-diovascular health.

So now it’s into the kitchen to whip up some delicious dishes with cranberries. We can use them fresh in a sauce or pie, or in dried form in cookies or an orange-flavored bread pudding.

Adding to our side-dish reper-toire this year will be a fragrant apple rice pilaf that’s studded with colorful cranberries. This dish can be made ahead and easily reheat-ed, which makes it ideal to take to a holiday dinner.

And we’ve got the makings of a festive cranberry liqueur in the fridge waiting to give as gifts in small decanters. Or to enjoy our-selves. Happy holidays!

FROM THE GARDEN

The Fall Checklist for your Yard and Garden!

By Cynthia Gibson

1. Rake all leaves: though a chore they have huge hidden value, as, mulch! Yes, with rake in hand and tall yard waste bags posted in vari-ous areas of your yard, you begin the great task of raking the leaves of fall.

A quick side note: The everyday garden rake we use has not really changed in over two centuries. The size of the fan-shaped portion of the rake varies, but other than that, it is quite the same. For homeown-ers who lived on Aquidneck Island in the mid-1600, their tools were as valuable as a car is today. A man’s profession took the symbol of tools over many years. They were expen-sive and handmade. A stolen rake or spade could land a chap in jail for two weeks. Handsome rewards were given for the return of the sto-len items.

Now, back to the raking of leaves with your luxurious rake! Should you own a leaf shredder, you are a very lucky person indeed. It is a great machine for the thousands of leaves on your lawn, as the shred-der turns the leaves into mulch, or as some gardeners refer to it, ‘Black Gold’. If you do not own a leaf shred-der, a lawn mower will to the trick.

Simply run your lawnmower over small piles of leaves until they turn into bits, then, rake and pile your shredded leaves into a heap behind a shed, or garage. Or, an out of the way place in your back yard is fine ,too. Using chicken wire to make a very simple, very inexpensive bin is a great idea for storing, your new mulch. Use at least enough chick-en wire to create a three-feet in di-ameter circle and fasten both ends together with strong non-rusting wire. The chicken wire should also be at least three-feet tall. Place your new circular garden bin in an out of the way area as it is not very pretty. Place your newly shredded or mowed leaves into the bin. Turn the leaves once a week with a small pitchfork for about two weeks. This chore takes very little time. Then, leave the pile until next spring. In the spring, you will turn the leaves once again, but most of them will be pitch black. This is one of the finest mulches, commonly referred to as ‘Black Gold.’ Your gardens and flowers will love you for giv-ing them a dressing of this mulch in spring. If you are not a recycler/mulcher, skip that step and toss the leaves into your waste bags. Do not leave leaves in your flowerbeds or under shrubs and trees for win-ter. If they have not taken a trip to the shredder, the wet, icy, snow-

covered leaves will keep in mold, nasty insects and let in no air to the earth below. All good mulch allows for good air filtration.

2. Pull all weeds! There is a great old adage, “Seven minutes of weed-ing prevents seven years of weeds.” These are words to live by. Our long summer into the long, warm fall season is ending. The summer pro-duced buckets of seeds and weeds that even the birds will not touch. The weeds will, however, rest for the winter, and give you twice as much trouble next spring if you do not remove them this month.

While the ground is still damp, use your trowel and dig up all weeds. Pull, as many as you can by hand, as many of them are an-nual and have very shallow root systems. A few very horrible weeds

will take ‘Round-UP’ to remove next spring. Those weeds are the worst: Goat-Weed, Pokeweed, and Sting-ing Nettle. At least try to pull and dig out as many of the latter as pos-sible. Stinging Nettle is very tricky, as it is true to its name. It will really sting you, so wear leather garden gloves. Stinging Nettle can sting right through gloves made from fabric.

For animal lovers, you should know that every bit of the Poke-weed plant is toxic. It can grow into a small tree. Its trademark is clusters of dark purple berries that create stains one cannot remove. Many Native Americans used this berry for purple dye. Pokeweed has a very large root and grows very fast. It is not easy to kill once it is established, so nip them when you first see them coming up in the

spring. Goat-Weed, the next worst weed to the “pokester,” has a huge underground network of roots. It can grow for yards! If you have the patience of Job, go right ahead and pull up its roots and weed until your fingers fall off. However, ‘Round-Up’ will do the trick in the spring. Goat-Weed dies back in the win-ter, but its ‘subway system’ of roots does not move all winter long. Wait for their tiny green buds to appear in the summer, then spray them. Spray only on still days, and always remember that ‘Round-Up’ is a sys-temic weed killer and can kill any plant whose leaf it touches. Use this herbicide with great care.

Rake all flowerbeds and beneath shrubs after the weeds and leaves have been removed.

3. Now, is the time of year to give your plants something to live on all winter. It is not too cool yet for fall feeding of all shrubs, perenni-als, bulbs, trees, and lawn. All of the proper fertilizers you will need are available in all ‘home’ stores, hardware stores, or garden cen-ters. Specific fertilizers are meant for the sole purpose of feeding plants, shrubs, or trees. Do not mix them or use them with abandon, or you will not get the desired re-sult next spring. Slow release fertil-izers are ideal for autumn feeding. With snow falling then melting, the fertilizer can continue to penetrate the ground throughout the winter.

After raking, and feeding, one can mulch flowerbeds, gardens, trees, shrubs, and vines. It is a gar-dener’s woe to rake leaves and pull fall weeds, as it is the last symbol of harvest before Thanksgiving. How-ever, you will be giving thanks for the work you completed this fall for a clean, healthy garden in spring.

Leave your pile of shredded or mowed leaves until next spring. Most of them will turn pitch black. Making one of the finest mulches,

commonly referred to as ‘Black Gold.’

Serving Lunch In The Tavern7 Days A Week From 11:30 On

By Patricia Lacouture

Mountain climber Aron Ralston (James Franco) thinks he can take on any challenge and conquer any mountain. The film “127 Hours” chronicles the actual events of his encounter with the mountain that almost claimed his life. When a boulder breaks loose and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah, Aron faces his mortality and takes the only out left to him—amputat-ing his own arm—to save his life. This aspect of the story has been so widely publicized that its mention here will not act as a “spoiler.”

Directed by Danny Boyle (“Slum-dog Millionaire”), the film utilizes flashbacks and a mix of what looks like authentic home video footage with dramatic film footage that cap-tures the majesty of Utah’s starkly beautiful mountains, deserts and canyons. The cinematography is simply breathtaking. The film looks so polished in places, that one can almost forget a major truth: Aron Ralston is a real person.

In 2002, Ralston left a secure job as an engineer to pursue his passion—mountain climbing. His initial goal was to climb all of Col-orado’s “fourteeners,” peaks that exceed 14,000 feet. Having built up his conquests and his confi-dence, Ralston took off to the wilds of Utah in 2003. He was so confi-dent, in fact, that he told no one—no friends or family members—his plans or destination.

Sprinkled with some “wild crazy child” encounters, Ralston’s jour-ney, in the film version of the story, includes a number of wild daredev-il stunts: He lets loose of a canyon

perch where he has ventured with two young women and invites them to share the thrill of letting go of solid rock to plummet into a serene and unspoiled pool of wa-ter. He wipes out on his bike and simply laughs at the folly. Not until Ralston is literally wedged between two pillars of boulder does he pon-der the wisdom of his mission and the power of nature over man.

The film uses multiple close-ups to capture us as partners in, or pos-sibly, witnesses to, his dilemma. A series of flashbacks bring us fur-ther into his consciousness—he knows he’s trapped and, initially, he resigns himself to a slow death. Tight close-ups reveal his wan-ing bravado and escalating fear as he uses his functioning hand to explore the contents of his back-pack—sunglasses, keys, a watch, a digital camera, headphones, rope and a credit card. He stacks these items on a ledge of rock like totems or candle offerings in a Catholic church. However useless they may be, they serve the paradoxical pur-pose of the safe and familiar, rep-resented in objects that have be-come useless.

The unraveling of Ralston’s or-deal is handled with cinematic fi-nesse by director Boyle, who has a great eye for detail. Techniques like split screen allow us to enter Aron’s world—past and present—as he conducts a life inventory—thank-ful to his parents and cautiously respectful of his father’s encour-agement to revel in the wonders of nature. In one flashback Dad (Treat Williams) wakes young Aron up to see a sunrise over majestic mountains. Or, that’s the way the

scene reads as we watch. Ralston has stated, in one interview that ,the child he sees is his own son and that this gives him the will to live, at any cost. He now does pub-lic speaking engagements where he stresses safety measures.

James Franco’s performance is generating serious Oscar buzz, and a wondrous performance it is. Franco telegraphs Ralston’s brava-do and how that cover gets literal-ly blown in his entrapment within the earth. Franco’s facial expres-sions, which are all we have to go on for a serious portion of the film, reveal an awe of nature, mixed with a terror worthy of his dilem-ma and a poignant mix of rever-ence for nature with regret over his inflated bravado, a trait clear-ly evident when he meets two young girls who are also exploring the cliffs and canyons.

“127 Hours” looks unflinchingly at the human desire to conquer the forces of nature while unveil-ing the folly of a mere mortal to mess with nature.

Aside from telling Ralston’s sto-ry, “127 Hours” reminds us that we cannot afford to take the wil-derness parts of nature—or any of it—for granted. As blizzards, hurricanes and any large storm system has proved, nature wins when in conflict with the whims of humans.

Patricia Lacouture currently teaches film studies at Salve Regina

University. She also taught at Rhode Island College for ten years. She

completed her graduate studies in film from Boston University.

The Mountain Strikes Back

“127 Hours” is rated R for some violence in the form of bloody images. James Franco’s filmography includes “Eat Pray Love,” “Milk,” Pineapple Express,” “In the Valley of Elah” and the “Spiderman” flicks. He also played James Dean

in the made for TV movie of that same name.

A first name and a gift idea are placed on a star and then placed on a tree located at Clements Market-place in Portsmouth.

Donors Needed for Thanksgiving Food Baskets and Toys for the Holidays

Child & Family is offering two traditional programs this holiday season to support families in need. Do your party by lending a helping hand to those in need.

Child & Family is looking for do-nors to contribute to this year’s Thanksgiving Baskets and Holiday Giving Program. Each donor will be matched up with a family to put a food basket together at Thanks-giving or give toys and gifts during the holiday season.

These donations essentially con-stitute their entire Thanksgiving meal and gifts for the holidays. So far, there have been requests for 130 Thanksgiving baskets with only 20 donors signed up. The numbers are similar for the holiday gifts. Please call Landa Patterson at 848-4210 or e-mail her at lpatterson@childand-familyri.com to receive more details and sign up as a donor.

Wreath Sale Fund-raiser10th Annual Lucy’s Hearth De-

signer Wreath Sale will be Satur-day, Dec. 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rotunda at Easton’s Beach. This is the Hearth’s major fund-raiser of the year and has become their sig-nature public event. Holiday deco-rations for sale, besides wreaths, decorated by creative artisans, gar-deners and designers, will include tabletop trees, candle rings, sprays, topiaries and centerpieces.

Traditional Dinners at Seamen’sOn Thursday, Nov. 25, the board,

staff and friends of the Seamen’s Church Institute will once again of-fer a traditional Thanksgiving Din-ner from noon to 2 p.m. “We also offer a community breakfast buf-fet on Christmas Day morning and again one morning during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

NATURETurkeys, Thanksgiving, and Sister Mary Rita

By Jack Kelly

A friend of mine once told me that ninety-five percent of life in-volves simply showing up. The oth-er five percent is what you do with it. That principle is true in nature photography, as well. If you make yourself available, nature will find you. However, you need to be cau-tious because nature can bite, claw, or peck when you least expect it.

It was a warm and sunny spring day in late April of 2009, and I was driving on Wapping Road, in Mid-dletown. I was heading to Sandy Point Beach, in Portsmouth, be-cause a flock of twenty migratory Horned Grebes, in full breeding col-ors, had been reported in the wa-ters, just off the beach. As I passed the intersection of Peckham Lane and Wapping Road, a mature fe-male Red-tailed Hawk flew low over the road in front of me. She landed in a tree in the adjacent field, not seventy-five feet from the roadside stone wall. I quickly pulled over and parked as close to the stone wall as possible. My eyes stayed on the hawk. I was excited, because it was hawk mating season and I was hoping that she might be building a nest.

I grabbed my camera, leapt from my car, and in one motion vaulted the stone wall. I had swiftly walked about eight steps into the field when I realized that this was the beginning of several tactical er-rors. I was standing about fifteen to twenty paces from a group of Wild Turkeys. There appeared to be eleven of them and they were emerging from the tall grass to my left.

Six males, or “tom” turkeys, turned towards me and began to advance, fanning out their tail feathers and emitting loud “gob-bles”. I was amazed and joyfully be-gan to take picture after picture of these large, colorful birds. (Note: at this juncture of my photographic and nature experience I had never seen wild turkeys before, and I was

naïve to their habits.) I was enjoy-ing myself so much that I failed to realize that the turkeys were sur-rounding me.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp, piercing pain in my backside. I turned to face my attacker and felt a second attack in almost the same spot. I realized I was in trouble and tried to remember my wildlife train-ing from Boy Scouts. “Don’t panic – Don’t show fear – Drop and curl into a ball”. NO! NO! That was for bears! A third attack was imminent so I did what came naturally. I ran like the dickens and jumped to the top of the wall, with the turkeys in hot pursuit.

As I stood at the top of the wall, I had a flashback to first grade at St. Augustin’s School, and my teach-er Sister Mary Rita. The Sister had us trace our hands to make turkey drawings for Thanksgiving deco-rations. I remembered that I gave mine to my grandmother that Thanksgiving and she hung it in her kitchen. I couldn’t believe that I was remembering something like that, at a time like this.

In the meantime, the turkeys were flying over the wall to the grassy area by the roadway. They were taunting and mocking me, with loud “gobbles” and wing ges-tures. I attempted to step down from the wall, in an effort to get to my vehicle, but one large, evil look-ing bird, kept trying to peck at me. I decided to climb to the roof of my car and drop into the driver’s side to make my escape.

As I crawled across the roof, I started to have flashes of the tele-vision, evening news trailers; “New-port man pecked to death by tur-keys” – “film at eleven”. Or that the “Animal Planet” or “Discovery” channels would do a documenta-ry on “Killer Turkeys” and that the poor, sordid tale of my ignomini-ous demise would be the lead sto-ry. The turkeys were surrounding my car by now. I raised my camera to take a photo of the birds at the

rear of my automobile, and I was mortified by what I saw.

There was a vehicle at the stop sign of Peckham Lane and Wapping Road. The mature-looking couple in the car were laughing, point-ing, and waving to me. I realized how ludicrous I looked. I gathered what was left of my dignity and I dropped to the street and scram-bled to the driver’s door. I grabbed the door handle – it was locked! As I fumbled for the remote lock key pad on my key chain, I suffered an-other attack on my backside. The turkeys had vicious, malevolent looks about them and they were closing in for the kill! I finally got

the door open and escaped the tur-keys’ wrath. I heard an automobile horn and, looking in my rear view mirror, I watched the couple depart the area. They were still laughing and waving as they disappeared down the road.

I started the engine and, sound-ing my horn, forced the turkeys away long enough to leave the area. A biologist friend of mine later explained to me, that I’d prob-ably wandered into a nesting area. You can’t negotiate with an angry parent defending its’ young. As I drove away, I flashed back to Sister Mary Rita, and how she taught us about the Wild Turkey. She told us

that wild turkeys had been part of the early colonists’ diet and that it had helped to sustain the colonists during their first harsh year in the New World. She also taught us that Benjamin Franklin had wanted the Wild Turkey to be the National Bird and symbol of our country. He felt that it was a “noble bird,” and that the Bald Eagle was a scavenger and not worthy of being our national symbol. Then again, Ben was the one who had coined the phrase “look before you leap”. If you don’t, you may wind up with a pain in your behind.

Review By Chris Szepessy

Madstreak is the story of Ston-ington, CT sailor Clay Burkhalter’s quest to win the 2007 Transat 6.50 Race. The title is from a statement by Jonathan McKee, who nearly became the first American to win the race, popularly called the Mini Transat, before losing his rig 700 miles from the finish in 2003. “It takes a madstreak to race across the Atlantic Ocean in a 21-foot boat,” said McKee. This 4,240-mile, singlehanded race from La Ro-chelle, France to Salvador de Bahia, Brazil (with a stop in the Canary Is-lands) is indeed dangerous: scores of boats have been destroyed in its 30-year history and seven sailors have vanished.

We’ve eagerly anticipated the release of this film since Clay an-nounced, at a presentation at Ston-ington Harbor Yacht Club, that his journey would be documented on video. Unlike most of his 88 rivals in the race, Clay built his own boat. US 575 Acadia was designed by his uncle Rod Johnstone, with valu-able input from one of the world’s best Mini sailors, his friend Isabelle Joschke. Clay and Rod laid up the carbon hull at Composite Technol-ogies in Bath, ME, and the boat was completed at Dodson Boatyard in Stonington. “Nobody quite knew what I was up to,” said Clay. “People would come in and ask a few ques-

tions, and I’m sure they went off saying, ‘He’s out of his mind!’”

Director of Photography Digby Fox and the Campbell & Co. team compiled over 100 hours of foot-age, including plenty of onboard action. Three lenses (in the cabin, at the masthead and one that Clay could position around the boat) captured moments both tense (a squall and a too-close-for-comfort encounter with a cruise ship) and mellow (“Burk” groovin’ to Toots & the Maytals with Bonnie Raitt as dolphins pace Acadia in the mid-Atlantic).

Mini Transat sailors experience loneliness, terror and continual sleep deprivation, catching 20-minute naps on wet sails or a mat in the cockpit. Clay hallucinates at one point, searching frantically for his personal trainer, Jennifer Lang-ille, who he believes has fallen over-board. Savoring watermelon on the dock after finishing 12th, he quips, “I don’t think I could ever eat anoth-er freeze-dried meal or PowerBar!”

“Clay is an amazing man and it has been my pleasure to do this film,” said Producer/Director Nancy Ogden. Paul Cayard provides in-sightful commentary and there are interviews with Joschke, McKee and race winner Yves Le Blevec. A well-produced film about a remarkable achievement, MADSTREAK is inspi-rational and highly recommended.

High School FootballBefore the playoffs are set to begin, another

Aquidneck Island tradition needs to occur. It’s time for the annual Thanksgiving Day football ri-valry games.

A new rivalry begins this year, as Rogers takes on Tiverton playing for the first time on Thanks-giving Day.

A rivalry game that started in 1965, contin-ues this year, with Middletown taking on Ports-mouth. Portsmouth has won the Thanksgiving title game 26 times, compared to Middletown’s 17 victories. The teams have tied twice; Once in 1977, and again in 1985. Last year, Middletown prevailed for the first time since in 1995, by a score of 19-13.
