Newport Naked Fall 2013

from the editor Every year Newport plays host to hundreds of weddings.

Couples from all over the northeast invite guests from seemingly all over the world to join them in celebrating their union.

It is a credit to our fine city that these lovers choose it as a backdrop for one of the most important moments of their lives. They come here to create memories that will last a lifetime, stories that will forever be retold, photographs and videos that will be shown to children and grandchildren.

This fall will be no different. Newport will witness all kinds of weddings, from modest backyard affairs to upscale extravaganzas at Gilded Age mansions like Rosecliff on Bellevue. There will be beautiful sunsets and rolling tides.

Cakes will be cut, gifts will be offered, toasts will be made.

Chuppahs will be raised and wine glasses crushed under

foot. New friendships will be forged and old ones renewed.

Families will form and the cycle of life will continue to thrive.

I mention this not only as a testament to the allure of our city by the sea, but also because the Newport Naked family is about to witness a special celebration of its own.

In late September, the magazine’s founders, owners, and operators, Daniel Hwang and Cedar Poirier, will exchange vows and throw a party at one of the city’s wonderful beachside venues.

There are a million things to say to friends on such an occasion, and a million things that go into a successful marriage. One of the best pieces of advice, on both fronts, is to keep it simple, so I will do so here by quoting an old Latin proverb: Vive Valeque — live and be healthy.

had not been allowed to emigrate, its legend had spread by word of mouth, by the accounts of thousands of Muslims from distant lands who made pilgrimage to Mecca every year.

The outside world became keen to acquire this magical (some said evil) beverage. Sooner or later the monopoly had to be broken.

In 1670 the Sufi (Muslim mystic) Baba Budan is said to have strapped seven seeds to his chest and smuggled them into India, where the commodity soon began to thrive. From there it was not long before coffee made its way to Italy (making the advent of espresso a fait accompli) and then to the rest of Europe.

Once the Dutch East India and British East India companies got a whiff of the money involved, the brew quickly went global.

Coffee arrived in America during the Colonial period, but was not an instant hit. I suppose it is no surprise that the colonists, unfettered by the edicts of the Koran, preferred alcohol to the new drink, and of course they always had their tea. It was the Revolution that changed coffee’s status in our land. After the Boston Tea Party, many colonists boycotted that swill and switched to coffee, and during the war itself the popularity of the beverage soared. A British embargo on tea imports after the war of 1812 only strengthened coffee’s allure, and thus we eventually arrived at the situation we have today, where there is approximately one Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts for every 6 American citizens.

But it is not the big chains we are interested in around here. What we want to show visitors and Newporters alike is that there are some great local coffee shops where you can get a little high and exchange ideas, just like the clerics living in Mokha nearly five hundred years ago.

Empire Tea

Mokka Coffehouse

Mokka

476 Thames Street, Newport (401) 619‐1530 After decades of excellence and acclaim in the culinary field, owner Jack Corey opened Mokka last year. His aim was to provide a place where people could sit, enjoy fine coffee, and exchange ideas. And he has succeeded.

Mokka is an inviting presence in the downtown area. The interior is eclectic and whimsical, providing a television, ample reading material, and eye‐catching décor featuring enough giraffes, camels, and elephants to make one feel they are on safari. But what really puts the establishment on the map is the outdoor seating. The attractive courtyard is dot‐ ted with tables and umbrellas that face the hustle and bustle of Lower Thames, so even if you find yourself with nothing to say, or no one to say it to, you can always people‐watch – one of life’s most fascinating diversions.

It is no surprise that Mokka shares its name with the port city where the coffee trade began, where the locals loved to pass time in the ‘schools of the wise’.

Specialty: One look at online reviews will tell you that the espresso here is particularly good. You should also inquire about the flavor shots. But the most unique concoction is probably the Lebanese Lemonade.

Jack first squeezes the lemons, then covers the shells in sugar and heats them overnight to create syrup. He then tops it all with orange blossom water. I had some. It was incredi‐ bly refreshing. I could not escape the feeling that I was relax‐ ing in an upscale spa.

Empire Tea & Coffee

22 Broadway, Newport (401) 619‐1388 x 1 58 Aquidneck Ave., Middletown (401) 619‐1388 x 2 It has been almost a decade since Empire Tea & Coffee first opened for business. Its flagship location is on Broadway, just a few strides up from Washington Square, which means it is right at Newport’s historic and geographic center.

The first thing to note about the establishment is the dizzying array of options. Empire offers tea and coffee in almost any newportnaked.com • fall 2013 11

variety, and thus can satisfy the most uncommon tastes and diverse palates. This makes it ideal both for the discerning single customer and for large groups with different urges to satisfy.

The second thing that makes Empire stand out is the fact that it is incredibly spacious. It is the largest coffee shop in Rhode Island, and is often filled with customers who like to stick around with their bever‐ ages and enjoy the collegial atmosphere. There are always students with heads buried in laptops, ipad’s, or books; social butterflies glued to smartphones while honoring their social gods on Facebook or Twitter; and larger groups who have found that Empire is the perfect place for a dozen people to get their fix and mingle comfortably.

Last year Empire expanded even further by open‐ ing a second location on Aquidneck Avenue, a shop that is almost as close to first beach as the original store is to Washington Square. Keep it in mind if you are in need of a jolt on the way to or from the sand and sea.

Rhode Island Magazine named Empire the “Best Coffeehouse in Newport County”, and strong Internet reviews show that customers agree. If you check out their website, EmpireTeaAndCoffee.com, you’ll find they also offer on‐line sales for delivery.

The menu is varied and impressive. Hard‐core caf‐ feine buffs can go for the Iced Coffee Addict, which is cold brewed for 24 hours, or crank it up even another notch by opting for the Zombie Killer, which is appar‐ ently the former concoction with super powers.

Espresso drinks are perfectly made and artfully pre‐ sented, and include a Macchiato, Café Mocha, and Café Americano, just to name a few. You can also score delicious frozen drinks at Custom House, like frozen hot chocolate, and the tea selections are just as mouth‐watering.

Speaking of mouth‐watering, Custom House is the perfect place for lunch or dinner. There are classic appetizers like nachos and jumbo wings, chicken ten‐ ders to satisfy the kids, and soups du jour, grilled Panini sandwiches, and calzones for those with more mature tastes.

When visiting the roaster to enjoy Mr. Mastin’s artistry, inquire about the live music, which usually takes place on Friday nights.

The Corner Café

110 Broadway, Newport (401) 846‐0606

Custom House Coffee

796 Aquidneck Ave, Middletown (401) 842‐0008 600 Clock Tower Square, Portsmouth (401) 682‐2600 Owner Robert Mastin Established Custom House in 2001 with the goal of providing the freshest coffee possible. After roasting his own coffee beans at home and realizing what a difference it makes, he installed a micro roaster in his new shop. He then received for‐ mal training from the roaster’s manufacturer, and began sharing the fruits of his labor with the local community.

Custom House’s original location is on Aquidneck Avenue, on the left just passed Green End Avenue if you are traveling from Newport. It is a warm and inviting space loaded with all sorts of fascinating gadgets that pay homage to Bob’s craft, from the roaster itself to the grinder and an assortment of beakers and flasks that make one think of a mad sci‐ entist hard at the work of chasing perfection. The place is stuffed with coffee beans and teas in all sorts of containers, from classic burlap bags and wooden barrels to an endless variety of smaller paper bags and tins.

If a good cup of coffee is a priority, but a good meal is an even more pressing need, The Corner Café can satisfy both requirements. Owners Jamey Simoes and Mary Odonahoe have fused Portuguese, Irish, and West Coast influences to create a diverse menu that offers gourmet meals in a hip and casual setting.

I try not to mindlessly list menu items in these articles, but the allure of the selections at Corner Café almost makes it compulsory. There are not too many places where your coffee can be accompanied by such culinary delights as The Victoria, an omelet with shrimp, bacon, avocado and provolone; the Wise New York Special, a bagel with smoked salmon, red onion, tomato and cream cheese; the Portuguese Sweetbread Scrambler, Portuguese French toast topped with scrambled eggs, chourico, onions, feta, and roasted red peppers; or the Elmerito, an angus burger topped with a fried egg, roasted red peppers, gorgonzola, and hollandaise sauce. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, an iceberg that includes an unusu‐ ally diverse kid’s menu and a ‘healthy zone’ for those looking either to shape up or just maintain what is an already glorious physique.

Try the Corner Café. Your biggest problem will be deciding what to order. The sentiments of one on‐line reviewer said it more succinctly than I can: “One of the best breakfast places I’ve been to. Atmosphere is outstanding. Food is deli‐ cious.”

the motor conked out. My two friends looked at me for reassurance, but in that instant, we all knew we were in real trouble.

I pulled and pulled on the cord, and tried every trick up my sleeve to get the thing started. I played with the choke and throttle, jostled the gas tank – no luck. I thought of pulling the spark plug to clean and dry it, but figured I might make matters even worse if I dropped it, or if water from the waves swept into the cylinder. I just kept pulling, knowing full well that, in my anxiety, I might pull too eagerly and snap the cord. What none of us noticed during all this time was that the tide was going out and, with the help of a quickening northerly, we had drifted farther down the shoreline toward the open ocean.

Then, it happened.

The starter cord did not break, but it may as well have. On one of my pulls, the cord did not recoil into the motor, but just lay there lifeless. By that point we had drifted another mile or more, and taking stock of our situation filled us with despair. The seas had grown to full blown swells high enough so that, when we were in the trough, all we could see were walls of water on either side. Riding up onto the crests, the lights of Beavertail on Jamestown were shining brightly as if to mock us in our dangerous predicament. Still we drifted, not saying a word for fear that, in our voices, the others might detect the panic that was gripping each of us. The sea was pouring in now, and Albert and Nancy took off their shoes to bail the frigid water with the only tools at our disposal. I found a pair of vice-grips and thought that if I could loosen the screws on top of the outboard, I might free the recoil mechanism, retract the cord, and repeat the futile exercise of trying to start the motor that would not start.

I looked up at the peaceful moon. To this day I can still remember very well the sense of resignation that came over me as I thought (prayed) “if I’m going to die here, I guess this isn’t such a bad way to go” (only later did I learn that my companions were silently going through the same surrendering to our fates). The swells had again increased in height. They could no longer hold their charge of water, and began breaking. It was just a little at first, but each time more freezing water entered our tiny craft, more than we could empty with our shoes and my hat. I knew that after another dozen or so of these encounters, the boat would swamp and all would be lost.

One of the next waves must have hit us at a strange angle, because the boat suddenly lurched in a peculiar manner, bouncing the motor hard on the transom. I watched in disbelief as the

jolt caused the cord to suddenly recoil. I “willed” my now frozen fingers to close around the end of the cord one more time and, sweet ecstasy, the motor sputtered to life! I played with the choke as one might nurse the embers of a dying fire, and gradually got the revs to the point where we all let out a simultaneous scream of joy. After directing the bow toward the nearest point of land, I realized our jubilation might have been a little premature because the “shore” turned out to be a high bluff with 60’ cliffs dropping into a pounding surf. For a brief moment, I considered trying to motor up the coast to Bonnet Shores, or at least to a more survivable landing. But considering our condition, and not wanting to further tempt fate, I chose to crash the boat onto the rocks and deal with the consequences as required. At least we would have a chance with our feet on “solid” ground.

As we approached the shore, even the motor could not drown out the thunderous sound of the waves breaking on seaweed-covered boulders. Under any other circumstances, one would never deliberately do what we were about to attempt. But our motor could have failed at any moment, causing us to again be helplessly adrift. I slowed the motor as much as I dared and we were lifted by an incoming wave that “surfed” us toward land. We accelerated as the wave curled and broke with a fearful roar, and were miraculously deposited on a large flat rock. Albert leapt into the thigh-deep water to steady the boat while Nancy climbed out. As I was lifting the outboard off the transom the next wave hit, pushing the boat further into shore – right over Albert. Time stood still as Nancy and I looked for any sign of our friend. Then suddenly a figure sat bolt upright from the water and staggered toward the rocks and firm ground. I retrieved the outboard and we scrambled away from the surf.

A vessel much like the one that was commandeered

community of the same name. The houses were widely scattered and had spectacular views of the bay from atop vertical cliffs rising high above the water. As our continuing luck would have it, we came ashore very close to one of the few houses that had a long, steep stairway to the top of the bluff. Albert’s legs gave out during the climb and we had to carry him to the road, where he stayed with Nancy while I ran to get my car. When we finally returned to the house, we put Albert into a hot bath and took stock of what had just happened. Life could never be the same.

dream that he was on a wharf similar to those for Navy ships at Quonset Point. He was peering out into the darkness while helicopters scanned the water’s surface with searchlights. He ran into a building to solicit the aide of people at a party, but could not convince them to follow him.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Nancy Pitts, a graduate of URI around 1976, let her know that her shipmates would love to share a brew and rehash old memories.

Postscript: The next day either the boat was seen broken on the rocks below, or it was reported missing from the beach. When the police investigated the wreckage, they found a meal book from URI – with Albert’s girlfriend’s name on it. They escorted her from her dorm room to the police station, and questioned her at length about her possible connection to the events. She was really mad!

Post-postscript: A few days later, when I drove to Providence to visit family, I recounted the story to my brother, who then proceeded to tell of a remarkable coincidence. On that same night, during the height of our ordeal, Richard was awoken by his son fussing, and walked over to his room to console him. “What’s wrong?” he asked, to which the boy replied, “Dad, there’s someone in the house…” Later, when Richard returned to his room, he stood at the window, stared up at the moon, and said aloud, “There’s something weird going on.”

At the same time, my brother Charles was having a

Hurricane Gates

in Rhode island? by

christopher plamondon

Rhode Islanders were not ready.

It was September of 1938, a full 123 years since a major Hurricane had hit our state. That monster was known as the Great September Gale of 1815, and it appeared a full eleven years before both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same July 4th.

Therefore it is safe to say that no locals could recall feeling the wrath of the type of storm that was heading their way.

What became known as the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 (the current naming system was not initiated until 1950, to eliminate confusion when two or more storms were simultaneously active) had formed off the coast of Africa, then steadily made its way across the Atlantic while building itself into a Category 5 beast. It was still a robust, deadly Category 3 when it impacted Rhode Island.

There was very little warning. Modern meteorology, which is still, even in this technologically amped world, widely derided for its inaccuracies, was only in its infancy. There were no satellites, no Doppler radar, no radio buoys, no television sets. The only notice people received were in vague radio reports of a storm along the Carolinas, or from Grandpa grousing because his bum hip was giving him fits. There were certainly none of todays asteroid-impact-imminent scenes we see at grocery stores in advance of every big storm, where

the old tradition of buying extra bread and milk has turned into a hoarding exercise so thorough it can effect the Gross Domestic Product.

On the afternoon of September 21st, the maelstrom suddenly slammed into Southern New England.

In Providence, sustained winds of 100 mph were

28 fall 2013 • newportnaked.com

recorded, with gusts up to 125. But it was not the wind that did the greatest damage. It was the water. The tempest’s arrival coincided almost exactly with high tide, and hit New England with such fury that a seismograph in New York registered the collision as a tectonic event. Narragansett Bay had storm surges of 12 to 15 feet, as the sea rose and destroyed property all along the coast.

Right here in Newport, the devastation was widespread.

The damage at local beaches told the story. Consider Easton’s, which until that fateful day boasted a boardwalk, dance pavilion, dining hall, and even a roller coaster that had been in operation since 1913. All were swept away with the wind and the tide. At Bailey’s, the original clubhouse, a place that once catered to luminaries named Vanderbilt and Astor, was leveled, and eventually replaced by the much more modest structures of today.

But Providence itself was perhaps the hardest hit.

Narragansett Bay steadily narrows like a funnel as it heads north toward the city. During hurricanes, this geography pushes surge water higher and higher until it reaches the mouth of the Providence River, an eight-mile tidal that runs through the downtown area before spilling into the bay. This downtown section, which houses the business district, is situated on a low-lying basin only ten feet above sea level. The storm surge inundated the entire area, causing flooding as high as 13 feet and well over a hundred million dollars in damage.

In one fateful day, a killer storm the likes of which no Rhode Islander could recall or scarce imagine had become a costly, deadly reality they could never forget. And sixteen years later history repeated itself, as Hurricane Carol, another Category 3, barreled through, again flooding downtown and causing tens of millions in damage.

By then the citizens of the Capitol had had enough. They determined to do whatever they could to help assuage the destruction caused by these major events. The result was the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier, the first of its kind in America.

The Flood Control Act of 1958 authorized the project.

Construction began in 1960 and lasted until 1966, at a cost of 16 million dollars. When it was finished, the barrier consisted of two dykes, canal gates, vehicular gates, a pumping station, and three massive river gates.

The dykes are 25-foot walls of earth and rock that bolster the waterfront area. The canal gates are on the west side of the river, and help control the water used to cool the nearby power plant. The vehicular gates are located at the plant, and at Allens Avenue, Benefit, South Water, and South Main streets. They are usually open to allow the passage of traffic, but are closed and sealed with sandbags in the face of a major storm.

The pumping station is a 213-foot long behemoth that runs from the west bank toward the center of the river. It contains five pumps that, when working in

Hurricane Gates

unison, can displace over 3 million gallons per minute, pushing water through the barrier and into the bay. This is rather crucial, of course, because the act of blocking out the storm surge also seals in the river. Without the pumps, the area would still flood, and the whole project would be an expensive waste.

The final, and most striking, aspect of the barrier is the gates.

They are each 40 feet square, weigh 53 tons, and curve outward toward any potential surges. They weigh 112,000 pounds, are lowered in about 30 minutes, and can be raised in two hours.

Since becoming operational, these gates have been utilized on many occasions, including twelve times in 2011 alone. But the most notable cases were during a gale in 1978, hurricane Gloria in ‘85, Bob in ’91, and Sandy just last year. In each instance the barrier spared the city from massive flooding, property damage, and monetary loss. In fact, it is estimated that the structure has saved several hundred million dollars, and operates at over a 2 to 1 cost-benefit ratio.

Though the barrier’s construction was unique at the time, flood guards of some sort have long been built at other locations around the country, and indeed all over the world. The nearby New Bedford Hurricane Barrier was started in 1958, and is the

largest stone structure on the east coast. New Orleans has had a series of flood defenses for hundreds of years, but in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Congress authorized the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in 2006. At nearly two miles long, it is the largest structure of its type in America. The Delta Works, in the low-lying Netherlands, took fifty years to complete and is the biggest flood barrier in the world. And the rotating gates of the Thames Barrier, just downriver from London, have protected that city from storm surges and high tides since 1982.

These last two examples work well today, but may have to be strengthened or modified in the future, since the North Sea is expected to rise a whopping four meters by the year 2200. The world’s other great bodies of water will experience similar trends, so we can expect more and more of these engineering marvels to sprout like hothouse flowers.

Well, at least the city of Providence is secure. As for the rest of us, our grandkids might be tooling around on catamarans like Costner in Waterworld.

as quickly as possible. We had bred our dogs earlier in the year, and while we were told it was a pseudo pregnancy that would yield no pups, it had become quite obvious by Twiggy’s belly movement that the veterinarian was wrong. We did some research on our way back, and learned that within 24 hours of going into labor a dog would have a temperature of 99 degrees. We stopped at the CVS on Bellevue to pick up a thermometer, and sure enough, when we got home she was at an even 99. So many thrilling emotions were engulfing us. Grabbing a bottle of champagne, we rushed over to my sister Harmony’s house where family was gathered, including her husband Jamie, baby Bellewyn, my brother Ethan, his wife Jackie, and Mom Kim. We burst in,

bubbly raised, declaring, “We’re engaged, and we’re having puppies!” After a quick round of congratulations we rushed back home and set up a whelping space for twiggy in our downstairs bathroom. We wanted to stay near her, so we spent the first night of our engagement happily sleeping on the kitchen floor.

At 7am the next morning, on Christmas Eve, Twiggy gave birth to 7 miracle puppies.

I can’t begin to explain the incredible wave of emotions that filled me this past holiday season. I felt like I was in a Lifetime movie special, and was so blessed to have my best friend, now fiancé, to share it with.

o you look out your cottage window and wish the hummingbirds would come to your home? Do you think, well it’s to late to start now? It is never too late, even if you are only at your cottage for a week or weekend.

I went with some friends to a hunting lodge on 6th Lake, in the wilderness of Nova Scotia, Canada. When I say wilderness - well if you don’t have 4-wheel drive and a GPS, you will not make it to our destination. After parking our trucks we had a 30-minute hike down a small trail to reach the lake. The camp was across the lake, not too far a paddle for our kayaks and supplies.

This location is occupied for a few weekends in the summer, but is mostly used as a fall hunting camp.

Deer heads with big antlers hang over each bed (a bit unnerving when you first wake up) and fishing nets cover the outside walls to keep black bears from tearing the shingles off.

The fellow who owns the camp put out a hummingbird feeder a few days before we arrived. Where did the hummers come from! There were no honeysuckle bushes or trumpet flowers, just the wilderness with spruce, pine, birch, and beech trees. But the hummers were there, in the middle of the wilderness, doing their mating dance, sipping at the feeder, thankful for the sugar water . . .

Hummingbirds: These creatures are from the family Trochilidae.

They measure only 3-4 inches long from bill to tail, and fly incredibly fast. They hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12-80 times per second! This rapid beating actually creates a hum, which is where they get their name. They can fly at speeds exceeding 34mph, and can fly backwards. At night their heart and breathing rates slow down to conserve energy. The average

arts & entertainment Photographer Matthew J. Atanian has just shown a collection of his work at Newport’s Egg & Dart gallery, featuring scenes from the International Polo Series. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the artist’s work will benefit awareness for Young-Onset Parkinson’s disease, a matter close to Atanian, who was diagnosed with the illness in August of 2011.

Working as a photographer since 1988, Matthew is known for his spontaneous lifestyle approach to photography with a cinematic edge. An athlete with a love for sport, Matthew focused his attention on some of the most eclectic and visually engaging sporting events, including the Men’s and Women’s Pro Tennis Tours, The World Cup and professional ski racing circuits, equestrian events, and the hugely challenging yacht racing world.

While covering sports in South Miami Beach in the 90’s, Matthew was enticed by the new challenge of shooting fashion and beauty. After receiving a contract with Marie Claire, he moved to New York and Paris to further his scope of work, which has since appeared editorially in over 70 worldwide publications including Sports Illustrated, Outside Magazine, Elle, Mirabella, Marie Claire, Surface, People, Time, and Newsweek. Matthew has won numerous awards, including a Graphis, and his work is part of the J. Walter Thompson permanent collection.

Mr. Atanian returned to Newport to rediscover his artistic

roots through shooting polo, and became the official photographer for the International Polo Series. “The beauty of equestrians and their mounts in the sport of polo,” the artist explains his attraction, “it’s such a tough sport to photograph. It’s challenging and somewhat dangerous. To get a great shot you have to put yourself in harms way . . .

8 horses galloping toward you at 40 miles an hour that don’t easily apply their breaks when they see someone standing between the goalposts.” He finds the next great shot is always eluding him, and that keeps him going.

Having been diagnosed just two years ago with YoungOnset Parkinson’s, Matthew decided to use his career in photography to raise awareness of the limitations of young patients and what they have been able to overcome. “I began to notice that my symptoms would dissipate while working. Whether hanging from a helicopter or on a boat shooting the Americas Cup, my symptoms would lessen. I’ve received several explanations for this, the basis of which is that I’m using a different part of my brain, a part of the brain that wasn’t afflicted with Parkinson’s. So my photography remains unimpaired . . . that’s my way of helping . . . creatively.”

Matthew’s recent Newport show featured a series of large format limited edition photographs, as well as a collection of smaller prints, postcards, and posters. You can see more of his work and learn more about his efforts through his website MJAPhoto.com.

mike rohner

M

ike Rohner lives just outside New York City in Hoboken, New Jersey, but the inspirations for his paintings are clearly from his travels. He and his family started visiting Newport more than 20 years ago, and coastlines and seascapes have crept into his work ever since. Mike’s paintings also have scenes from city life in New York and sandy beaches in Florida. His works can be found in restaurants and offices in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.

At a young age Mike enjoyed drawing, and in high school he would craft caricatures of his teachers. The first meaningful painting class he took was at Muhlenberg College. While there he did some wall murals, but it was not until after graduation that he first painted on canvas with subject matter that appealed to him. As he became more involved with photography, he began painting off his photographs.

Since then Mike has developed and cultivated his personal style and continues to evolve as an artist. He has participated in juried exhibitions at the National Art Gallery in New York City and the Butler Museum of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. He is also the current Director of Oils for the Allied Artists of America, which is one of the oldest art organizations in the country.

Finding inspiration in well-made quality products and thoughtful design, Mike has established his own style. “Crafting a high quality painting is a process,” he says when asked about his work. He typically makes all of his canvases, which can take several weeks to stretch, prime, and sand. He also makes his own painting mediums and floater frames, taking pride in hand crafting his pieces from start to finish. This is especially helpful for the custom work Mike does for commissions. When making a piece for a client, he can size the work to fit a very specific space while working on the fine details through the surface of his primer and painting mediums.

Mike feels a custom made piece of art can make a big difference, can change an entire room, and every stage in the process offers an opportunity to do something unique that defines the painting as his own. He enjoys taking an image and adding his interpretation through sketching. Then he works from both the sketch and the original to bring the final painting to the canvas. “Ultimately I’m trying to produce a high quality piece of art that creates emotion for the viewer.”

Continually honing his craft, Mike usually has a few pieces he works on at the same time – a Newport painting, a beach scene from Florida, a New York

arts & entertainment cityscape, and some silkscreens. In addition, he has recently updated his website, MikeRohner.com. “I think a website says a lot about an artist and it is another way for me to convey that I’m serious about my work,” he explains. “I’m working on presenting my art in the right way while connecting with my audience.” Along with a portfolio of work, Mike offers affordable, limited edition, museum quality framed prints. He believes making the work accessible, while keeping each series of prints to a limited number of pieces, is important. The artist looks forward to adding a blog to include video and other updates as well.

A lovely story about Mike’s paintings involves a client seeing his work on the website. “I have a print of a painting of Pope Street hanging in the Lobster Bar. I get a lot of comments on this piece and how it captures the feeling of Newport. I remember taking the photo that I worked off of on the Fourth of July. The person on the bike is actually my wife,” the artist explains. After seeing this print in the restaurant, a Newporter with a home in Brooklyn contacted Mike to have him paint live at his wedding. “It is always special to have someone hang your artwork in their home. And to paint at an event that is a major milestone in someone’s life, and represent that event in a painting for them to appreciate for a lifetime, is very satisfying.”

Check out Mike’s work at MikeRohner.com or see it in person at the Lobster Bar on Bowen’s Wharf, Newport.

gallerie ellipsis

C

hristine Manory, mother of two, portrait photographer, and huge supporter of emerging artists, also holds the title of owner of (gallerie ellipsis).

This charming one room gallery sits tucked away just off Bellevue Avenue on Prospect Hill Street. You can easily spot its whereabouts from a few clever flags, placed strategically on Bellevue, that announce exhibitions and upcoming shows.

Originally from Chicago, where she attended Columbia College, Christine now lives in Middletown. She found her way into the art world as a photographer who enjoyed taking portraits of her children. That quickly led to taking

favorites as both artist and art appreciator.

Christine draws her own inspiration from portrait photography greats such as Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist, Annie Leibovitz, and Mario Testino.

Her exhibit space, (gallerie ellipsis), was founded in December of 2012. The gallery was conceived when she noticed how many emerging artists were only being seen in classrooms and at craft fairs. She wanted to find a way to bring unknown talent to her gallery walls in an effort to share their work with Newport. Her gallery supports artists of all ages and in all media by showing art you might not find in other local establishments. (gallerie ellipsis) exhibited the work of Heather Berthelette and Alexandra Bruno, both from Massachusetts, in August. The show, consisting of paintings and charcoal drawings, was the Newport debut for both young ladies. September will bring the photography of Victor Peppercorn-Janes, a Met School student, and pottery by Lawrence Timmins from North Kingstown.

For the gallery, Christine finds inspiration in the fruits of artists’ labors. “Even though the payday is crappy, every artist from middle school to middle-aged continues to be inspired, encouraged, motivated, and exhilarated by their ability to exhibit,” she explains. Always looking for talented individuals to feature in (gallerie ellipsis), Christine encourages you to email her at c.manory@yahoo.com.

Sometimes secret Rock & Roll history isn’t hidden in the shadows of long-forgotten music halls, nor is it among the concert field ghosts of festivals past. Sometimes it’s in plain sight, with a smile, a handshake, and a laugh that everybody knows.

Such is the case with Earl and Timmy Smith of the late-sixties Soul group powerhouse, THE SHOWSTOPPERS. Best known for their classic hit ‘Ain’t Nothin’ But a Houseparty’, the Smith brothers endured an often-turbulent five year career that took them from their beginnings in Philadelphia through triumphant tours of Europe and back again, finally landing them in Newport, where they would become two of the most recognizable personalities in the community. Sadly, Timmy Smith passed away this past May. He will always be remembered as a funny and intelligent man with an immense talent. An infectious personality, he will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have been within his gravity. He’ll never be too far away though. Whenever you miss Timmy, just put on a SHOWSTOPPERS record and listen to he and Earl do what they do, as good as anybody ever did it. That is the magic of music.

The Smith brothers were raised in Philadelphia, where Earl remembers, “We always sang. When we were young, I’d stand on a milk crate drying the dishes and our sister Barbara would sing with us and teach us to harmonize. In the evenings everyone would gather around the piano, my mother and my uncle both played, and we’d sing to entertain ourselves and we loved it! We’d sing up a storm! And that’s where it started.” It was a trip to the cinema, however, that would illuminate the path of the Smith brothers’ destiny.

Upon seeing the Rock & Roll musical camp-classic ‘Rock Around The Clock’, things became clear. Earl states, “When I saw The Platters on the screen, that was it. I said, ‘That’s my occupation.’” Earl immediately knew he wanted to form a group of his own and began searching for other gifted singers. It was when he met Elec and Laddie Burke, younger brothers of Soul legend Solomon Burke, that he knew he’d found a lineup with chemistry. Adding Timmy’s baritone completed the group and now, with two sets of brothers, they had the voices and the presence to make an impact on the local Philadelphia scene.

Making the rounds to the groupsinging competitions in the recreation centers all over the city, Earl fondly remembers, “When we came together, there was no stopping us. Everybody knew what was happening. Elec was a whiz at choreography and we just blew it up.”

As fate would have it, Timmy and Elec were harmonizing their way down the street one afternoon when they caught the attention of a prominent area businessman named Bruce Weinroth. After rounding up Earl and Laddie, they auditioned and impressed their suitor, who immediately wanted to take hold of their career. About Weinroth, Earl says, “Right away he wanted to become our manager... wanted to

ness otherwise had started to slow. Samuel was keeping the boys idle, patiently waiting for the right time to strike. Being young, hungry, and anxious to move forward, frustration was beginning to set in.

During a group meeting, and in front of Timmy, Elec, and Laddie, Samuel brazenly told Earl he wanted to release ‘Pick Up Your Smile’ as a single, but with Earl as a solo artist. Wanting to preserve the unity of the group, Earl refused, but the seeds of dissent had been planted. The boys felt the label was losing interest in them as a group, and with Milton’s talk of Earl going solo, tension arose between the members. A few weeks later, Timmy and Elec, who were the representatives of the group in business matters, had a meeting with Milton that turned heated. Samuel interpreted their verbal attack as a threat, and THE SHOWSTOPPERS were asked to leave England. Angry and frustrated on the long trip back to the States, sides were taken and it had become apparent that the rift between the members was insurmountable.

When they landed at Kennedy Airport, they said a final goodbye and parted ways. Other than a brief meeting Earl and Timmy would have with Elec in LA, the Smith brothers and the Burke brothers would never see each other again. Jerry Ross peeked his head out of his hole in the ground one more time.

In the wake of the break-up, and still having usage rights to the name, Ross put an entirely different group of singers out on the road as THE SHOWSTOPPERS, in an attempt to again profit from their name.

The Smiths would soon find their way to Newport. Earl had fallen in love with the city as a teen, having spent some time here living with his sister, “I first came here when I was 15, my sister Linda was in the Navy and stationed here. Spent a summer here, and man I thought I’d died and gone to heaven, it was the loveliest city I’d ever been to.

And especially in the sixties, Newport was rockin’ in those days! I went to Rogers High School for a year before heading back to Philly, and then I got with THE SHOWSTOPPERS.” After a brief stint in LA, Earl and Timmy came back east, settling in Newport. It was here that the Smith brothers planted their roots. Earl got married. Both men had children, then eventually grandchildren. Surrounding themselves with family and friends made Newport a real home.

After a five-year run of chasing the harlot that is stardom, the Smith brothers were able to reflect on their experiences, only to find that the most lasting memories were sometimes the purest even something as sim-

ple as seeing pride in the eyes of your loved ones.

“The most emotional moment I’ve ever had on stage, and I’ve had a couple of those, was at a gig we were playing at the Uptown Theater in Philly when we were first getting hot. We were young and hungry, in gold suits, and looking clean! I look down and, there in the front row, I see my mother and father. And we are rockin’ the house, I mean just killin’ it! In the middle of ‘Houseparty’ the power in the theater goes out. We all grew up singing a cappella so we keep going, as does the drummer and the conga player, not missing a beat. The power came back on at just the right time, the rest of the music came back in, and the room went crazy! I think the crowd thought it was part the act! I look down at my parents and they’re just beaming.

Wow, what a feeling!”

“I’m so blessed to have had the experiences I’ve had, and so blessed to have been able to do it all with my brother. I miss him. I miss him a lot.”

Two years ago, fate would again come-a-knockin’ on Earl’s door. He saw a TV commercial advertising an old friend and the composer of his biggest hit, Carl Fisher and The Vibrations, performing at the Park Theater in Cranston. Earl attended the show, and was taken backstage to say hello. “I hadn’t seen Carl in 43 years. I hadn’t seen him since I left the studio after doing ‘Houseparty.’” The two reconnected and began to discuss working together again. Timmy was able to get Earl in touch with Kev Roberts, the promoter who’s keeping the Northern Soul scene alive and well by throwing ‘allnighter’ and ‘weekender’ dance parties all over the world.

When Kev heard what Earl and Carl were up to, contracts arrived and just like that, Earl was back in the business. As a member of The Vibrations, but of course still doing his signature hit, Earl performed this past March, at Prestatyn in Wales, to a massive and adoring crowd. With more shows in the works and international interest in 60’s Soul music still going strong, Earl shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

“It was a beautiful, beautiful life... and I’m trying to get some more of it.”

Much thanks to the great Earl Smith for taking the time to revisit his career and share so many great stories. He provided me with much to work with. He’s a gentleman whose star shines bright.
