Kids Invited to Find Waldo on the Island By Esther Trney If you remember trying to find a skinny chap in a red and white striped tee shirt and black-rimmed spectacles when you were a child, you’re not alone. Waldo, that well-traveled denizen of multiple books, turned 25 last year. As part of the celebration, Candlewick Press, the publisher of the “Where’s Waldo?” books, initiated a “Find Waldo” contest last summer in bookstores around the country, including Island Books at Wyatt Square in Middletown. The event proved so popular that this year Island Books is again participating. Kids are invited to download a passport from Island Books’ website (islandbooksri.com) or stop into the store to pick one up. The passport gives directions to find Waldo at 25 locations on Aquidneck Island. Judy Crosby, owner of Island Books, said booksellers originally thought last year’s “Find Waldo” was going to be a one-time event. “But everyone had so much fun with it that Candlewick offered it again this year,” she said. Crosby said 60 to 70 children participated last year, and she anticipates a similar number this year. Paula Dugan, head of children’s services at the Newport Public Library, said she’s happy to be part of the event again this year. “We think it’s a great way for kids and adults to be able to play together and do a reading-centered activity,” said Dugan, who hinted that Waldo is located near some

special summer displays in the children’s area of the library. With their passport, children can visit various locations, including the Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth libraries, and local businesses, to try to find Waldo. After they’ve located him, they will receive a stamp or signature on their passport from the place where he was found. After finding ten Waldos, they can return their passport to Island Books to exchange it for a sticker and coupon for one dollar off any “Where’s Waldo?” book. In addition, during the month of July, all “Where’s Waldo?” books are discounted 20 percent. Children who manage to find 20 Waldos also are entered in a raffle to win Waldo books and other prizes. The event started last Monday, and will run until July 31. All passports are due back at Island Books by Aug. 1 to be eligible for the raffle, which will be held on Friday, Aug. 2. For more details, or to download a passport, visit Island Books’ website, islandbooksri.com.

At its regular meeting on Monday, July 15, the Middletown Town Council voted 6 – 1 in favor of developing a model for a regional high school for Newport County. Bruce Long voted in opposition. “It’s work that really suits the school department,” Long said. The model is to incorporate all relevant features and issues such as funding, personnel, curricula, athletics, enrichment, and facilities. The resolution was drawn up in response to a memorandum from Councilors Richard Adams and Barbara VonVillas. School Committee Chair Theresa Silveira Spangler asked council members to sit in on the school committee’s next meeting to help them come up with a plan. Spangler said they have had talks with other island communities about shared school services. “The ‘regionalization’ word is out there, but

Who’s Waldo? “Where's Waldo?” (“Where’s Wally?” in Great Britain) is a series of children's books created by British illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed doublepage spread illustrations depicting crowds of people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to locate a character named Waldo who is hidden in the group. Waldo's distinctive red-andwhite-striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses make him recognizable, but many illustrations contain red herrings involving deceptive use of red-and-white striped objects. The books have inspired a TV show, comic strip, and a series of video games.

City councilors on Wednesday are due to take up a measure that could permit Newport homeowners to keep backyard chickens. Currently, the ordinance reads as follows: "With the exception of household pets, no livestock or poultry are to be kept on any lot of less than three acres in size." It also provides that "Any building used for housing livestock and poultry or the storage of fertilizer or manure is to be located not less than one hundred (100) feet from any property or street line." Generally, only properties within the city's R-100 zones – like those around Ocean Drive – are permitted to keep chickens. In an ordinance revision set to be considered at their July 24 meeting, councilors will be asked to weigh in on a proposal that would more clearly define the city’s rules for the keeping of livestock. At the same time, the ordinance would create a basis for homeowners to pursue a special use permit for the keeping of chickens outside their currently permitted bounds. As noted in a memo to Planning Board members, an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance has been prepared for the purpose of establishing certain requirements

Public Welcome at Redwood Newport’s Redwood Library and Athenaeum, established in 1747, is the oldest lending library in the country. Although it is a privately-run library, it welcomes the public to visit inside and view its extensive collections.. To assuage any doubt that the public is welcome at Redwood, they have hung banners inviting guests to visit the illustrious facility. The library was designed by famed architect Peter Harrison, who also did Touro Synagogue and the Brick Market building; in addition to its literary and historic treasures, the Redwood also boasts an extensive portrait collection, including four by Gilbert Stuart. Visitors are welcome in the library at any time, says Communications Coordinator Gretchen Markert, and they offer a staff-guided tour of the facility every day at 2 p.m. for $5.

Hundreds Race in Newport Regatta

The Newport Sailing Week concluded last weekend with New England’s premiere one-design event – the Newport Regatta. Sail Newport public sailing center hosted the three-day event (July 12-14). A total of 148 races were run for the more than 260 boats that were competing on five courses on Narragansett Bay. Five countries (USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and New Zeland) and 17 U.S. states were represented by the 873 registered sailors. There were 21 one-design classes featured in the racing: 2.4 Metre, 12 Metre, 49er, 505, A Cats, Byte CII, Etchells, Farr 30, F-18, J/22, J/24, J/70, Laser, Laser Radial, S Class, Star, Sunfish, Swan 42, Vanguard 15, Viper 640 and VX One. Racing in the 17-strong J/24 fleet, local sailors Tim Healy and John Mollicone won their third consecutive Newport Regatta. They won all four of the races contested to take the victory by seven points over Mike Ingham of Rochester, N.Y. In doing so, the duo claimed the Dr.

Robin Wallace Trophy for best performance in the regatta. Ten boats were on the starting line in the Farr 30 class which would see their North American Champion determined at the conclusion of racing. Winning two of the five races sailed, Newport’s Jim Richardson was successful in reclaiming the North American title he last won in 2010. Three points out of first place, Annapolis sailor Rod Jabin finished second overall with 16 points; Pieter Taselaar (Scarsdale, N.Y.) was third with 18 points. Winning the first eight races of the Byte CII series, 14-year-old Henry Marshall of Auburndale, Mass., won the Byte CII North American Championship at the conclusion of 11 races in a fleet of 15 boats. A second-place finish in the final race of the series earned him the title on 10 points after his two worst finishes, a sixth and an 11th, were dropped. Sailing the Newport Regatta for the first time, and the Byte CII for only three weeks, Marshall

was using the event to prepare for the Byte CII World Championships which Sail Newport will host in August, as well as to fulfill his goal of qualifying for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China. A seven-boat mixed fleet of sailors with disabilities and able-bodied competitors raced in the 2.4 Metre class’s debut appearance in the Newport Regatta. Britt Hall (Darien, Conn.,) won the 10-race series with 16 points, just one point ahead of Charlie Rosenfeld (Woodstock, Conn.) who is a member of the 2013 US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider. Third overall was Sandy Hayes of Scituate, Mass., with 22 points. “It was a good chance to do a lot of starts,” said Newport’s Betsy Alison, the Paralympic Coach for the US Sailing Team. “Because the courses were fairly short, the fleet was tight, and there were lots of changes in position.” Alison also pointed out that the event was excellent training for the 2016 Paralympic hopefuls.

Sailors Shine at Clagett Regatta Sailors with disabilities took to the sea recently at the 11th annual C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic & Regatta, demonstrating a “can-do” spirit, competitive edge, and skill sets impressive by any standards. The regatta, hosted by Sail Newport, prepped thirty-six international sailors for Paralympic and world championship racing. The competition is conducted in the same equipment used in sailing events at the Paralympic Games, next scheduled for 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. “The Clagett mission is to provide sailors with disabilities the opportunity to improve their skills

and reach personal goals through world-class coaching and competition,” said the regatta’s founder Judy McLennan of Portsmouth, explaining that a high-powered oneday clinic always kicks off the event, and the coaches involved work closely with the sailors throughout the following three days of racing. “This year, we saw not only top Paralympic hopefuls who have been at it for years, but also plenty of young people who are getting into the Paralympic classes for the first time. It was very special to see them getting so excited and gives us a lot of hope for the future of disabled sailing.”

Aaron: Your bowl is actually a tobacco humidor. It was made in Germany around 1905-1910 by the firm of Erhard & Sohne. The inlaid wood and brass is called intarsia. The factory produced lamps, desk blotters, boxes, cigarette objects, etc. with similar workmanship. The humidor has a value of around $600. – Federico Santi, partner, Drawing Room Antiques (The Drawing Room has acquired a collection of over 5,000 antique prisms; if you need some to replace missing prisms on a lamp or chandelier, feel free to drop by the gallery.

Thinking Outside the Box

uring the first six months of his term, City Councilor Michael T. Farley was relatively quiet. As a freshman council member among veteran colleagues, he seemed content to take things slowly. Throughout the spring and into the budget process, Farley weighed in occasionally on subjects like asking that area nonprofits contribute more to the city in lieu of taxes, and revisiting the adoption of a homestead exemption to encourage more yearround home buyers. But as the council closed in on approving their final 2013-14 budget, the freshman councilor began taking a more proactive approach. Last week, Farley proposed seven resolutions that set off a flurry of behind-the-scenes activity among his fellow council members. The resolutions included a number of ways to increase the city's bottom line – like reconsidering the city's lease arrangements with Discover Newport and the Newport Yacht Club for their properties, increasing mooring permit fees, and seeking an increased tax payment from the East Bay Community Action Program. Ultimately, Farley pursued only two of his proposals, but he promised to bring the rest back to the council at its first meeting in August. As an attorney, Farley revels in a good debate, and some of his proposals – or the way he presents them – have been controversial. Since he was elected, he has questioned the assessments of lowincome housing parcels in the city's North End, challenged the School Committee to get their fiscal house in order, criticized on a number of occasions the management of 50 Washington Square, and suggested that the city disband its Sister City program. Earlier this week, he provided councilors with an 18-page Powerpoint presentation entitled "Newport Yacht Club Lease – An Opportunity to Review Payment Terms." In it, he challenged his fellow councilors to take advantage of a "once in 10 year opportunity" to renegotiate the city's lease arrangement with the local yacht club by the October deadline. Farley's tact leaves much to be desired, but it's clear that, like the rest of the council, he's taking his responsibilities seriously. Earlier this month, he took the Internet to circulate a survey seeking the opinions of Newport residents on what the city should do about nuisance properties. More than 100 people responded, and the council subsequently directed staff to come up with a comprehensive approach to dealing with similar quality-of-life issues. Farley’s direct style is both intriguing and encouraging, and we hope that the rest of the council will learn from it. At the same time, we also hope that Farley will learn from his veteran colleagues how to build consensus within the council, whose overall effectiveness has suffered in recent years from frayed relations among councilors.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Tis the Season To the Editor: When I went outside this morning I found that the flower box had been stolen from my porch railing. The box was large and heavy and the flowers were beautiful so someone stole it during the night. To some, this theft is a small thing, but it's not. The idea that someone could enjoy stolen flowers is truly sad. No matter the object, large or small, the rule is always the same. If it isn't yours, you don't touch it.

Wrong-Way Drivers Making REGIONALIZATION CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Hazard Road a Danger Zone By Jack Kelly According to some residents and visitors to Hazard Road, a public safety issue has been developing since April, when the road was opened for the summer season. The number of speeding and wrong-way drivers has risen in the past three months, they say. The north end of Hazard, from Wickham Road to Green Pasture Farm, is a wide, two-lane road. But the southern section, from Green Pasture (30 Hazard) to Ocean Avenue, is a single-lane, one-way road through the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes. Signs are posted to warn motorists of the traffic pattern. At the southern end of Hazard, two large traffic signs state “Do Not Enter.” There are two blind curves on the one-way stretch of road that obstruct a driver's view. Neighbors and others who utilize the road and marsh area for walking, running, biking and nature viewing say they have experienced a number of close calls with oncoming wrong-direction drivers over the past few years. Adam Kovarsky of Save the Bay, who has conducted programs with Rogers High School biology students in the marsh area for the past four years, says, “We have encountered wrong-way drivers on a number of occasions. Wrong-way drivers pose a specific danger because they aren’t expected to be going the wrong way. It is something that the adults in charge pay special attention to at all times.” Other Save the Bay staff members say they also have experienced issues with violators while doing restoration work in the wetlands. Lt. William Fitzgerald of the Newport Police Department commented, “We have stepped up patrols and enforcement in the area and will continue to do so while the road is open to traffic.” (The base fine for driving the wrong way on a one-way street is $85.) Newport Fire Chief Peter Connerton said, “We haven’t had any incidents in that area yet, but we

do ask the public to obey all the traffic rules because we use that road for emergency responses during this time of year.” This past Monday, the Newport Fire Department was called to a house fire alarm at the Nunnery, 181 Ocean Ave. The emergency vehicles used Hazard Road to respond. While the alarm was cleared, it demonstrated the timely access that emergency vehicles require from an unobstructed route to the Ocean Drive. Recently, two women who are neighbors of the Gooseneck area were walking their dogs on Hazard Road. One of them commented: “Most drivers travel at respectable speeds or even go slowly while they look at the beautiful view. But there are a few who use the road like their own personal race track. They leave precious little time to get off the roadway or to find a place to safely stand. Some of the wrong-way drivers also fly through here. I guess they figure that if they drive fast they won’t get caught. I worry about the firefighters who use this road to go out to the drive. Imagine the loss of response time when they have to wait for one of the idiots to get out of the way.” The second woman told a harrowing tale of a recent near-miss: “I was walking north on the road with my daughter, who was pushing my 19-month-old grandson in a stroller. We were near the southern end of the road when a wrong-way driver came barreling up behind us. It was a new car, so it was quiet, and we hadn’t heard him coming. He slammed on his brakes and starting yelling at us to get out of his way. I attempted to tell him he was going the wrong way, but he cursed at us and drove up the road at a high rate of speed.” Both women, who did not wish to be identified, agreed that they see the most infractions in the morning and early evenings and that it is the worst on weekends. As the two women walked away, a vehicle came down the road the wrong way and drove right by them.

Visitor Count for Year Down 7 Percent By Tom Shevlin It was cold, then it was rainy, and now it's hot. Normally, talk about the weather is casual – a way to break the ice and fill awkward pauses. But in Newport, where “summer” is a verb as well as a noun, and the weather plays an oversized role in local economics, our recent spate of extreme weather has left many small business owners on edge and tourism officials hoping that fairer skies lie ahead. Late last week, prior to the onset of a near-record heatwave, Evan Smith, the president and CEO of Discover Newport, was enjoying a break in the clouds and rain that had dominated June and the early part of July. The season got off to a slow start, he said. Or maybe it hadn't really arrived yet. "We watch regional statistics. We watch national statistics," said Smith. "We're performing as well as most any other place in America right now, but weather is the driving factor." From wildfires out west to record rains drenching the eastern seaboard, across the country it hasn’t been a normal summer so far. On Lower Thames Street on a recent Sunday, one storeowner reported that her sales were off by

roughly 30 percent from last year. Another merchant, who recently opened just off Bellevue Avenue, wondered when the foot traffic would pick up. But, said Smith, while business may have been slow for some seasonal businesses, because of the city's diverse attractions, no other tourist town is doing any better than Newport. "If we were just a beach destination, or just a golf destination, I think we'd be in real trouble," offered Smith. "Thank goodness for the strength of things like our event schedule and wedding business." Still, according to data compiled by Discover Newport, which tracks the tourism industry in Newport and Bristol counties, for the period January through June this year, the number of visitors traveling to Aquidneck Island and its surrounding towns was down by roughly 7 percent. It's too early to tell what effect the recent stretch of hot and sunny weather has had on those figures, but a break in the humidity and more seasonable temperatures forecast for next week. "We've had slow starts before," Smith said. "We've had times where we were down at halftime but have come out on top in the end."

nothing can happen until Middletown makes a decision on what’s going to happen with our property,” Spangler said. “Give us some options,” said Council Vice President Robert Sylvia. “This is a must-do. We can no longer support the services we have.” VonVillas said she believes that Middletown should be willing to take the first step to explore the option of regionalization. “The separate high schools on the island cannot be saved,” VonVillas said. “Our high schools are proud of what they do for the minority that are college bound, while they doom the majority to failure. We have to do better for all of our kids.”

"The separate high schools on the island cannot be saved." –Barbara VonVillas Middletown Councilor

Later in the meeting, a discussion was held regarding a request from School Superintendent Rosemarie Kraeger that an additional $58,000 be appropriated to the School Department so that they may avoid reducing the number of buses they operate. “The students will have to [walk] further,” said Spangler. “Instead of getting picked up in their driveways, they may have to walk to the next closest street.” Sylvia wondered why the School Department couldn’t come up with $58,000. No action was taken.

In other business:

The Council awarded a contract to Bristol-based C.B. Utility Company for the sewer and drainage improvement of Forest Avenue. The project will cost an estimated $2,146,754, of which $1,480,262 will come out of the town sewer fund and $666,492 will come from the Capital Improvements Program Special Revenue Fund. Middletown has received a grant from the state Department of Environmental Management to explore the possibility of installing a stormwater utility plant. The grant requires the town to establish a Stormwater Management Steering Committee. At town administrator Shawn Brown’s request, the council authorized town clerk Wendy Marshal to advertise for three residents to participate on the committee to develop local support for enhanced stormwater management and financing for it. The committee would also work with the Project Management Team to conduct a stormwater feasibility study. The Council responded to Beth Larcom, a St. George’s School student who spent last summer at Camp Fullbright Korea. Larcom has been invited back and was requesting money from Middletown for her travel expenses. Council agreed to give Larcom $100 out of the President’s Discretionary Fund. The Council granted a special events permit to the Committee For the Arts for their Celebration of the Arts event to be held at Paradise Park Saturday, Aug. 13. Last year’s event attracted more than 500 people. Upcoming Meetings: visit midletownri.com for town council updates. Mid. School Committee–Aug. 15, 7 p.m. Oliphant Adminstration Building.

Navy Recognizes van Beurens Acting on behalf of the Chief of Naval Operations, Naval War College President Rear Adm. John Christenson recently presented Navy Meritorious Public Service Awards to Mr. John A. van Beuren and Mrs. Hope H. van Beuren for their exemplary generosity to the Naval War College and to the Rhode Island community at large over the past three decades. Christenson recognized the van Beurens’ exceptional dedication to the Navy and stated that funding from the couple, through the Naval War College Foundation, allowed the Naval War College to significantly improve its academic and research programs.

The van Beurens have been unfailing in their support of the Regional Studies Program to promote greater understanding of cultures, world views, histories, religions and philosophies across the globe. In an increasingly smaller world where forces interact with different societies on a daily basis, success at any level depends on a thorough understanding of the culture engaged. The van Beurens completed the Regional Studies Library Collections and funded the first of six Regional Chairs at the College, the John A. van Beuren Chair for AsiaPacific Studies, helping to spearhead expansion of the program.

Members of the Historic District Commission will take up on Aug. 13 a controversial proposal by the Preservation Society of Newport County to construct a welcome center at The Breakers. The Commission will hear arguments for and against the proposed structure during at least one special meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 13 with a back-up date also set for Thursday, Aug. 15. The dates were agreed upon on Tuesday. The fact that the matter will be heard in a special session reflects the simmering interest in the proposal, which is being opposed formally by the Bellevue Avenue Ochre Point Neighborhood Association. The August meeting will be the first time that the application will be presented to a local decisionmaking body. Design renderings show a meandering structure spread over 3,700 square feet and obscured by a heavily vegetated area inside The Breakers walls. The area at one time had been home to a series of romantic gardens. Drawing on inspiration from landscapes such as New York's Central Park, the new structure is meant to evoke the design ethos of the late 1800s, replete with expansive windows, a copper roof, ornamental metal work and plenty of natural light. According to the Preservation Society, the center is not only needed (currently, visitors are ushered into a large tent), but would reclaim a historic landscape. Turner Scott, who is representing the neighborhood association in opposition to the project, is expected to present expert testimony contesting that assertion. In other business, Commission members voted to approve the following applications: q A request by Ronald Lee Fleming for permission to construct a 1 1/2 story greenhouse building at the northeast corner of the estate at 304 Bellevue Ave. q A petition by Marsha Cohen to extend three rooftop dormers and add a one-story breakfast nook at the rear, along with various other improvements, to the property at 5 Linden Gate Lane. q A proposal to replace a rotten wood railing at 316 Gibbs Ave. at the property owned by Maureen and Jeffrey Singer q A request by Douglas Newhouse and Holly Bannister to reconstruct the original porte cochere at 740 Bellevue Ave. which was destroyed in the 1938 hurricane. q A petition by Richard and Janice Brown to complete significant renovations to the structure at 1 Sunshine Court. q A request by Robert and Mercedes Coulombe to replace an existing shed with a new shed of larger dimensions at 511 Ocean Ave. q A petition by Belcourt of Newport to install a 72-panel photovoltaic solar panel system on the roof of the north wing. q An application by the Newport Restoration Foundation to construct a new chimney at the property located at 88 Bridge St., replacing a historic chimney that had been removed. q A request by Trinity Church to construct a new columbarium wall. q An Application by Steve Rosenbaum for permission to reflash and repoint an existing chimney, along with other exterior improvements at 18 Bancroft Ave.

establishing certain requirements relative to the keeping of chickens throughout the city and “not just on large acreage lots.” Under the proposed amendment, a new section would be added to Chapter 17 of the city’s codified ordinances governing “Home occupations” – a section normally reserved for artist studios, home crafts, legal and medical offices, and tutoring providers. In brief, the amendment would provide for explicit conditions that would allow applicants to keep up to six chickens as a matter of special use. Those would include the stipulation that applicants keep no more than one hen per 800 square feet of total lot area; that “no person be permitted to keep any rooster;” that all hens be provided with an adequate hen house and fenced outdoor enclosure to be kept in a clean manner; that no chickens may be slaughtered on the premises; and that all chickens be confined between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. Additionally, the amendment would stipulate that chickens shall not be considered as “pets” and

may not be housed within residential structures. On Monday, Planning Board members found the ordinance changes to be consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and directed staff to forward their recommendations to the city council for a final review. Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin raised the matter of domestic chickens last year, but it didn’t get much traction. He brought the issue back to the fore earlier this spring after conversations with the city solicitor’s office over the number of chicken-related cases being prosecuted in municipal court. “It’s not a burning issue for me,” McLaughlin said. “But on the other hand, having our city solicitors down in court for something that is relatively benign, and is not a nuisance when you put all the safeguards in place, might not be the best use of city resources.” City Zoning Officer Guy Weston said his office has investigated and cited four homeowners for violating Newport’s no-chicken policy in the last year, with some cases going to municipal court, where

Council To Address Nuisance Houses By Tom Shevlin City Councilor Michael T. Farley last week proposed a number of initiatives aimed at increasing revenue for the city, ranging from renegotiating the city’s lease with the Newport Yacht Club, to reconsidering how the city’s Sister City program is funded, to increasing mooring permit fees. Only two of the initiatives were taken up for a vote: a resolution correcting what Farley said were “clerical errors” in how the city calculated its tax rate, and a request for the city solicitor’s office to more broadly define “nuisance” houses. Of the alleged clerical errors, Farley asserted that under the city’s adopted budget, the city stands to collect $34,000 more than the dollar figure that was used to calculate the tax rates. Although the amount is nominal compared to the overall $114 million FY2013-14 budget, Farley said that those funds could

be used to plug holes within the school department budget. First Ward Councilor Marco T. Camacho joined Farley in voting for the proposal. However, after a brief discussion, the motion failed in a 2-5 vote. Farley’s plan to provide the city with greater enforcement powers over so-called nuisance houses, on the other hand, gained wider support. The council agreed to ask that the city solicitor’s office craft an umbrella ordinance to more broadly define “nuisance” properties and to specifically allow for the city to pursue landlords for tenant-related issues. A final report is expected back before the council in August. As Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin observed, “This is a topic that’s been discussed for years, and if we’re going to do something, then let’s do it.” The remaining five items were withdrawn to be addressed at the council’s July 24 meeting.

homeowners who refuse to comply with the current ordinance face a $500 a day fine. Two years ago, Providence passed a measure that allows residents to keep a limited number of chickens for domestic use. At the time, urban farmers and immigrant communities heralded the decision. Others, including locavores here in Newport, were inspired by it. After all, proponents say, Middletown allows homeowners to keep chickens, as does Barrington, which recently voted to allow up to a maximum of three hens on any one lot. Observed McLaughlin, “If they can let chickens in Middletown, Barrington, and Providence, then we can have them in Newport.” But even if the ordinance passes, there are restrictions. Homeowners who want to raise chickens must be able to accommodate the birds as well as comply with setback requirements and structural specifications governing chicken coops. They also would have to register with the city and secure property authorization from the city’s Zoning Board.

Cliff Walk Repairs OK'd The state Coastal Resources Management Council on Wednesday gave formal approval to an amended plan to restore Newport's famed Cliff Walk. During their semi-monthly meeting at URI's Narragansett Bay campus, the council voted in favor of a series of emergency repairs designed to shore up the coastal trail, portions of which have been closed since suffering significant damage during Hurricane Sandy. Formally put forth by the state Department of Transportation, the project calls for work at a number of locations between Ruggles Avenue and Bailey's Beach. In addition to repairing the walk's concrete and masonry walls and walkways, the project also calls for the installation of new decorative railings, landscaping, and at three locations, the construction of "underwalls" to mitigate future erosion. Not included in the plan are a series of "temporary" jetties that surfers had feared would destroy the celebrated Ruggles Avenue surf break and put at risk the area's marine eco-system. Stakeholders that led the fight against those jetties, including Waterbros. owner Sid Abbruzzi and members of Newport-based Clean Ocean Access, were on hand for the vote. It was their public advocacy campaign, which earned national media attention, that galvanized opposition to the original plan and led to what CRMC officials described as "substantial" modifications to the state's original application.

The Best Blueberry Buckle

Serves 8 Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 cup butter (unsalted) 3/4 cup sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup milk 2 ½ cups freshly picked blueberries 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

By Cynthia Gibson It is summer raspberry season and the beginning of pick-yourown blueberry season. Farmers’ markets started selling their own berries this past week. The season for early red and golden raspberries only lasts about two and a half weeks. (The fall crop of raspberries, August through September, is more abundant.) Blueberry season generally lasts from now into August. Pick-your-own berry farms provide a fun outing. You can pick enough berries to make jam to last the year, or just enough to make one pie. Blueberries freeze better than most fruits. They hold their shape well. Raspberries should be frozen right after you have picked them, and I mean immediately. If you wait an hour or longer, they will turn into mush. They will not, however, lose their taste! Sweet Berry Farm’s fields are now open for pick-your-own summer raspberries and blueberries. Raspberries are $7.50 for a pint, and pick-your-own blueberries are $5.25 a pint (about $7 a pound). A favorite off-island pick-yourown berry place is Schartner’s Farm in Exeter. Their fields are vast, and they have different varieties of blueberries to pick, all of them huge. Take your own freezer baggies to use for picking. The farm stand at the blueberry field will weigh your berries, and you will pay a per-pound price of $2.99, which is about $2.25 for a pint. The berries will need a quick rinse once they are home, then whip them up into something delicious, or pop them into the freezer. I freeze at least six to seven pounds of these berries for use during the winter. What could be better than a fresh

All over the island, the roads and side roads are dappled with wonderful farm stands. The owners sell produce direct from their own gardens and farms. You will find beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers, home-grown vegetables and fruits, and in a month or so, you will find corn. Here is a list of some of the farm stands and markets in our area: v Decastro Farms and Market, 1780 East Main Rd., Portsmouth v Mello’s Farm Stand, 364 Boyd’s Lane, Portsmouth v Peckham Farm, 1299 Wapping Rd., Middletown v Simmons Farm 1942 West Main Road, Middletown, RI v Hodgkiss Farm, 305 North Rd., Jamestown v Bally Machree, 704 Jepson Lane, Middletown v Aquidneck Growers’ Market, Memorial Blvd., Newport every Wed. afternoon v Aquidneck Growers’ Market, 909 East Main Rd., Middletown every Sat. morning.

Topping: 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup butter softened Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. The secret to making this cake is to have all of your ingredients at room temperature. I get everything ready on the kitchen counter the night before baking. Cake Batter: Butter and flour a spring-form pan. In a large mixing bowl, sift the two cups of flour, baking powder and salt. In a different, smaller bowl, cream the butter, sugar and egg with an electric hand mixer. Mix these ingredients until they are light in color and very fluffy. Gradually add the milk and continue mixing. Then add the flour mixture and mix for another four minutes or until all ingredients are well blended and the batter is stiff. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, then spoon it into the spring-form pan. Topping: In a small bowl, place the flour, butter, sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. It should be crumbly in texture; you can mix it with your fingers. First, sprinkle the topping on top of the batter, then very gently press it into in batter, making the top of the cake rather flat. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The standard knife or toothpick test for doneness is a must. However, in this case, you want moist crumbs stuck to your knife or toothpick. If either tool is totally spotless, the cake will be overbaked. It will still taste great, it will just not be as moist. When done, place the cake on a cooling rack, and do not remove from the pan it until it has cooled to room temperature. Cynthia Gibson is a gardener, food writer and painter.

MAINSHEET

Newest Star on Newport’s Horizon The stars came out in Newport last week, stars of the maritime world that is, in celebration of the much anticipated dedication of Rhode Island’s first official sail training vessel, the tall ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, named after Rhode Island’s famous naval hero – and the ship drew a hero’s welcome. An opening night gala held at Newport Shipyard kicked off a weekend of festivities, drawing luminaries from around the country for a peek at the soon-to-be finished ship. The 196’ vessel was most impressive; in an arena of more than impressive yachts, it was a standout. Vice Admiral Thomas R. Weschler, the driving force behind the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry project and every Rhode Island Tall Ship event since 1976, was fêted at the gala, which featured dockside dining by Blackstone Caterers, drinks and dancing, all under the lee of the vessel. The ship was dedicated the following morning pier-side at Fort Adams, where it will be based when finished. Over 1000 visitors toured the yet-to-be completed vessel over the Fourth of July weekend, before it returned to Senesco Marine in Quonset to continue construction. When it is launched next year, the three-masted, square-rigged tall ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry will be the largest civilian training vessel in North America and the first oceangoing, full-rigged ship built in the United States in more than 100 years.

Located within the Montaup Country Club in Portsmouth, the Montaup Grille is headed by William Aguilar, 35, a native of El Salvador who came to the U.S. at age 18, attended Johnson & Wales University, and has worked at Newport restaurants such as the old Christie’s, Fifth Element, and Scales & Shells. In my country we cook everything fresh right out of the garden. Peppers, tomatoes, onions – we pick all that, cut it small, and make a sauce we serve with chicken and rice. My favorite variation on a classic recipe is my seafood paella. I use clam juice to give it a different flavor and make the rice mushy. I’ve been in a lot of Spanish restaurants, and the paella is not juicy, it’s too dry. My ultimate goal is to own a fine dining restaurant that specializes in Spanish and Italian food. A kitchen utensil I cannot go without is my tongs. I feel like I always have them in my hand. I don’t have a favorite pair, but I can’t stand when they open up too far. I use tongs for everything. When I’m entertaining at home I love to grill outside. We grill vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, and corn on the cob. Then, we’ll grill some meat that has been marinating in our own seasonings from El Salvador. In our free time my wife and I like to go out to eat in Providence. We go to Federal Hill a lot. We also like to go to Boston to the Top Of The Hub. Around Newport, we like

Chef William Aguilar is a native of El Salvador who worked at many Newport restaurants before coming to the Montaup Grille. (Photos by Jonathan Clancy) to go to Bistro 162, and 41 North is my favorite. I’m more of a red wine guy. I don’t drink a lot of white wines, and I’m not a big fan of beer because it fills me up too much. Most of the wines at my home are from Argentina and Chile. I love seafood, especially here in Rhode Island. Everybody comes to Newport to eat the seafood. Sometimes for dessert I like to make Tres Leches, which means three milks. It’s a vanilla cake made with whole, condensed, and skim milks. You mix them up together

Lose weight, quit smoking, de-stress, achieve peak performance

and make a sauce and bake it with the cake so when it comes out of the oven wet, and you cut it, the cake is still dripping cream from the inside. My last meal on earth would be lobster and filet mignon with grilled asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes.

Sullivan performed at age 6 on the Ellen DeGeneres television show and has since released two albums. He has shared the stage with blues legends such as B.B. King and Buddy Guy. At the opposite end of the age spectrum is Matt “Guitar” Murphy who will be performing with Rick Russell & The Cadillac Horns. Murphy, 85, has worked with such acclaimed artists as Howlin’ Wolf, Memphis Slim, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, and many more as a session musician. Also performing that day will be Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters. Earl began playing lead guitar for the popular blues band Roomful Of Blues in 1979 and formed

his own band, the Broadcasters, in 1988. He is a two-time Blues Music Award winner as Guitar Player of the Year. Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes have been tearing up the blues scene since 1977. Prior to that, Southside Johnny (John Lyon) released three solo albums featuring songs written for him by Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt. Lyon has been dubbed “the Grandfather of the New Jersey Sound.” During a recent phone interview with Newport This Week, Lyon described this sound as “working class, blue-collar music.” Lyon has released more than 30 albums, many on his own label, Leroy Records. Taking it all home will be legendary harmonica player James Cotton. Cotton has been nominated for three Grammy Awards and won in 1996 for Best Traditional Blues Album for his record “Deep In The Blues.” He has also performed with Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King, as well as Janis Joplin, Freddie King, Steve Miller and Carlos Santana. In between main stage sets, the Big Cat Blues Band will perform on the Point Stage. Tickets are $45 in advance at newportwaterfrontevents.com, and $55 at the gate. A separate $30 BBQ Alley pass, which includes a choice of four different tastings of BBQ specialties, is also available.

Lily Tomlin Makes Newport Comedy Debut By Meg O’Neil For the past 13 years, the Newport Summer Comedy Series has brought some of the biggest names in stand-up to the Newport Yachting Center. This year, comedy legend Lily Tomlin takes the spotlight on Friday, July 26. Tomlin first rocketed to fame on the 1970s’ sketch comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In” where her characters such as Edith Ann, a precocious five-year old in an oversized rocking chair, and telephone operator Ernestine made her a household name. Tomlin played Violet Newstead in the 1980 film “9 to 5” which also starred Dolly Parton, and she has won two Tony awards, a Grammy, and six Emmy awards, in addition to the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, over her 50-year career. Newport This Week recently caught up with Tomlin by phone from her home in Sherman Oaks, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles. “Amazingly, Rhode Island could be one of the few states I’ve never played,” she said. “I’ve been to every state around it – I’m very excited to come to Newport.” Tomlin and her partner, Jane Wagner, have been together for 42 years. Their secret? “I just think it’s wanting to be together and not wanting to be apart,” said Tomlin. “It’s all the old things that people say: respect and humor and a commitment to share a life together.” Tomlin said she and Wagner have been getting pressure from friends to marry. “We’ve got to seriously start thinking about making honest women out of each other, I guess.” Tomlin said fans still regularly approach her and ask her about her “Laugh In” characters like Er-

For instance, Ernestine, the AT&T telephone operator, has switched careers. “Today, she works for health care companies and denies people healthcare coverage … She won’t pander to anybody, and she’s going to give them hell.” The characters that made Tomlin famous will be part of her Newport act, which will include answering audience questions as her characters in what she describes as a “very informal, intimate” setting. “I figure if people don’t like me, they might like one of the characters.” Tomlin attributes her sense of humor and love of comedy to her upbringing in Detroit, where she

lived in an apartment building filled with characters. “I grew up in a very mixed inner-city neighborhood. I hung out with so many different kinds of people. I saw them in their raw state – both fabulous and awful.” When she’s not on the road, Tomlin is still acting. She was most recently seen as Tina Fey’s mother in this year’s film, “Admission.” The ABC show “Malibu Country” ran for one season featuring Tomlin as Lillie Mae MacKenzie, the mother of Reba McEntire’s character. Also on the small screen, she plays Lisa Kudrow’s mother on Showtime’s “Web Therapy.” Tomlin also recently lent her voice to the documentary “An Apology to Elephants,” which she produced with Wagner. She also narrated the new anti-bullying documentary “Teach Your Children Well,” which will premiere at OUTfest LA later this month. At home, Tomlin likes to relax in one of her two larger-than-life chairs. One is from the set of her 1981 film “The Incredible Shrinking Woman,” and the other is the rocking chair that belonged to her “Laugh In” character Edith Ann. “I love those big props,” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m Alice in Wonderland.”

REEL REPORT

Stripers Feasting at the Reefs By Tim Flaherty Last week’s new moon made for some excellent fishing on Oceanside despite the low pressure system that stalled over our area. Dense morning fog kept many recreational anglers at their dock this past week. But those who were able to pick their way through the fog to the reefs were well rewarded. Every morning, large schools of striped bass could be seen between Butterball Rock and Seal Ledge. The bass were driving huge pods of sand eels to top water. The schools were easy to spot as hundreds of gulls and common terns fed on the remains of sand eels that had been stunned by the slaps of bass during this feeding frenzy. Our first cast resulted in a hookup to a 27-inch striper that fought like he was a bluefish on our light spinning gear. We used our favorite plug – the 7-inch, 2-ounce Yozuri swimmer. Although most any plug works during a feeding frenzy, we prefer weighted swimmers that can be cast much further than conventional plugs. Casting a plug accurately is a skill that takes years to develop. My mate T. J. Harris is deadly accurate with a plug and is able to hit a target 120 feet away, repeatedly. With good, accurate casting skills, an angler can hook up with almost every cast. Another skill required for successful casting is the ability to spot fish on the surface. Successful plugging requires keen visual perception which is developed over time. A break in the surface tension of the water caused by a bass wake is very subtle, but detectable. Spotting the swirl caused by a bass tail is difficult but can be learned with practice. One of the required tools for successful plugging is good quality polarized sunglasses, a whippy rod for distance casting, and a quality spinning reel. This week, we were witness to the striper migration from the

The temperature in the upper bay is 73 degrees, and on Oceanside it is 65. Bass always prefer the cooler water during mid-summer. At this time of year, there are plenty of sand eels and molted lobsters at the reef, which are the favorite food of striped bass. We always check the stomach contents of the keepers we filet to determine what they are feeding on. This information helps us plan for the next trip. The striper bite this past week has been excellent, and we landed many undersized school-size bass, a few in the high teens and others in the low twenties. On our light tackle, it is a challenge to land one of these big boys. With little room for error, the skills of experienced anglers were tested last week on our 15-lb. test line. On our most successful trip, more than 14 bass came over the rail in three hours. We know that this is the peak of the July bass run at the reefs. As soon as the water temperature at the reefs hits 70 degrees, the bass will head for deeper, cooler water

farther out on the sound. Black sea bass catches are down this season for unknown reasons. The ones being caught most abundantly are small, under-sized females about six inches in length. Big “bluehead” males have been strangely absent this season, compared to 2012 when they were plentiful and widespread around the bay and the ocean side. Big scup are now feeding at the reef form Ledge Road to Castle Hill including the beaches. Last weekend we landed a few scup that were well over 3 pounds. These voracious feeders provide plenty of action for the kids. Always use squid and circle hooks for quick release of undersized fish, and try chumming to keep them under the boat. And don’t forget Lynn Spingler’s recipe for “Scup Cakes,” which are always a hit. Tight lines! Capt. Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island native who taught high school and college-level history. He has been angling for more than 50 years, following his father, Frank Flaherty.

Stone-Moving Threatens to Undo Marsh Restoration By Jack Kelly The Gooseneck Cove salt marsh system, located adjacent to Hazard Road in Newport, is undergoing a multi-year restoration project under the guidance of Save the Bay. But recent incidents of vandalism are threatening to reverse some of the progress at the cove. Over the past decade, Hazard Road was raised four feet over a specially designed roadbed of crushed rock, gravel and smaller stone. It was bordered with stone rip-rap as part of the fortification process that would allow tidal and storm waters to pass over and under the roadway causing minimal damage. The project was completed and dedicated in the late summer of 2009. However, the size of the rip-rap chosen for the roadside reinforcement soon became an issue. The stones are small enough for people to pick up and remove. The eastern side of the culvert sustained a severe loss of stone as people who were crabbing or fishing in the marsh used them to make footpaths across the mud to the water’s edge, or simply threw them into the water. Stones tossed into the culvert began to impede the tidal flow into and out of the east marsh, which stunted the restoration process. Save the Bay staff and interns removed the stones on a number of occasions to keep a steady and healthy flow of tidal waters. Last summer, Save the Bay and the city developed a plan to replace the rip-rap with much larger stones that would ensure a better reinforcement of the roadbed and the marsh. Before the plan could be finalized, however, Hurricane Sandy’s tides and waves last October damaged the rip-rap and the road. According to Wenley Ferguson of Save the Bay, “The alteration of the rip-rap had already started before Sandy, but it made it easier for Sandy to cause erosion damage to the roadway and marsh culverts.” Newport city engineer Eric Earls explained the city’s role in replacing the rip-rap. “The city is working to upgrade the rip-rap on Hazard Road. While the marsh area is susceptible to erosion and wave action, the new stone will inhibit these actions. Human interference with city infrastructure is vandalism. The vandalism to the Gooseneck Cove area has been costly and counterproductive to the restoration process.” The most recent incident of vandalism occurred in the past week as approximately 20 large stones were dumped into the culvert on the east side of the marsh, altering the tidal flow into this area. Said Ferguson, “If people are purposely attempting to manipulate the flow for fishing or crabbing, they should know that they are negatively impacting the habitat that sustains the fish and crab populations. This manipulation of flow will cause vegetation die-off, which will create algae blooms that will threaten the life in the marsh.” Ferguson also addressed other issues that are threatening the wetlands. “The dumping of lawn, plant and other cuttings, as well as litter and household articles, has occurred along the road,” she said. “Last summer someone dumped a lawnmower right into the marsh. The mower was removed but it left an oil and gas slick on the water. This spring a large console television was dumped by the side of the road.” In the past three days, a city crew cleared the stones obstructing the east culvert. According to ordi-

nance, vandalism to city infrastructure is an offense punishable by arrest and fine. Save the Bay is seeking local volunteers to help with the continuing restoration program. For more information on Gooseneck Cove or the restoration project visit: www. savebay.org or call 401-272-3540.

By Meg O’Neil After 60 years, the final season of the Fifth Ward Little League officially came to a close on Monday, July 15, after the All-Star team lost in their final game against Bristol-Warren, 9-2. Next year, the city’s two leagues, Fifth Ward Little League and Newport Little League, will merge. The leagues got an early start on the merge, as this year’s All-Star team was comprised of players from both Fifth Ward and Newport league teams. “We essentially ran a pilot program for what is going to happen next spring,” explained Antoine Lavigueur, president of the Fifth Ward Little League. “The result was fantastic. The kids all made new friends, and they respected how each person played the game. It really has me even more excited about next season than I was before.” The All-Star team featured players that were selected by a committee of team managers from both leagues, as well as the Player Agent and the All-Star Managers. The end of Fifth Ward Little League is also the end of an era for the tight-knit neighborhood in the city’s south end. “What was special about Fifth Ward Little League was our size, but it was also our curse,” Lavigueur said. “Having a small league makes it much easier to get things accomplished. However, times change, demographics change, and above everything else, it’s about preserving the opportunity for kids in our area to play in a solid Little League system for years to come.”
