We are just as proud of the surgeries we never do. When you come to the Orthopedics Institute with joint pain, you might not get surgery right away. Instead, you might get a consultation with a nationally recognized academic orthopedic surgeon. You might then get access to leading-edge, minimally invasive treatments—some of them invented in the very hospital where you’ll be treated. You might never even hear the word “surgery.” At the Orthopedics Institute, we believe firmly in bringing people toward a full recovery, and away from unnecessary intervention. Visit orthopedicsri.org to learn more about our approach to treating joint pain, spinal injuries and other orthopedic disorders.

Do everything possible, humanly.

Editor’s Note Stars and Stripes Forever There are traditions, and then there are traditions. It isn’t news to any true Rhode Islander that the July 4 celebrations in Bristol are decidedly in the latter category. If you’re on the parade committee – which, there’s a decent chance, since the volunteer network required to pull off the oldest (and dare we say best?) Independence Day parade in the country is vast – then you won’t be surprised that I just said “celebrations,” plural. But non-Bristolians might not know about the road races, concerts, pageants, galas, festivals, dinners, breakfasts, pre-parade

gatherings and fireworks that are all part of the celebration. This issue of The Bay is dedicated to all of the July 4 celebrating that happens around these parts this time of year. There are a lot more things happening than just a parade. Happy Fourth!

E Pluribus Ice Cream These two kids got cones on the house by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at Eskimo King

July is a time to celebrate how awesome America is – and no one does the Fourth of July like we do here in the East Bay – but in Swansea, Eskimo King is really putting the “free” into freedom. Turn the page to find out how your kid’s patriotism equates to free ice cream.

My Cone-try ‘Tis of Thee

Eskimo King offers free cones for pint-sized patriots

July tends to bring

out the patriotic side in everyone. More than any other time of year, it finds us reveling in our nation’s commitment to truth, justice and meats cooked over an all-American propane flame. But for kids in particular, there’s a lot to be excited about. June is still too close to the previous school year, a time for licking academic wounds and steeling one’s self for skinned knees and sun burns, while August is the harbinger of a new school year yet to come, but July... July is the purest stretch of vacation. July is 31 days of true summer bliss, unstuck from the realities of homework, pop quizzes and Salisbury Steak Wednesdays.

Eskimo King makes July extra sweet for kids 12 and under. Every Monday from 4-7pm, kids who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance from memory (no helping, Mom and Dad!) will be treated to a free ice cream cone with red, white and blue sprinkles; the next best perk to citizenship until they’re old enough to vote or get a tax refund. Eskimo King – a monarch in name only, unlike that creep George III – is doing this alongside ice cream shops across the country, and has been participating in this national campaign since 2011. 29 Market St, Swansea. 508-379-0202, www. eskimoking.com –Tony Pacitti

A Revolutionary Exhibition Rhode Island was the first colony to rebel against Great Britain, and this month we will be first again, this time to see an exciting exhibit from the Museum of the American Revolution (MoAR) that will not otherwise open until 2017 in Philadelphia. Due to Rhode Island’s major role in the American Revolution, Dr. R. Scott Stephenson, Ph.D, the MoAR’s Director of Collections and Interpretation, has

chosen us as the first-ever audience of the exhibit Liberty Forever: Treasures from the Museum of the American Revolution which will be shown at The Newport Antiques Show. Highlights will include General Washington’s Headquarters Tent, British, French and American arms used in combat and personal diaries of soldiers during the war. The exhibit brings history close to home with an inscribed powder

horn made in Warwick and a 1774 mug that reads, “Success to ye city of Boston, Liberty For Ever.” As the first audience of this exhibit, Newport Antiques Show guests will get to enjoy first views of two 18th century portraits of British and French officers that have never been publicly displayed in the United States. The Newport Antiques Show begins with the Gala Preview Party on July

Give a Little Bit Susan Donovan connects with her community through volunteering Susan (Remieres) Donovan is the 2015 recipient of The Hattie Brown Award presented annually since 1987 by the Fourth of July Committee to a worthy Bristolian who demonstrates the same spirit of community service as that of the late Hattie Brown. A lifelong resident of Bristol – with the exception of a few years away – Susan has dedicated hours of service to numerous organizations. Chair of the local Habitat for Humanity Chapter and Chair of the Save Bristol Harbor Education Committee, her involvement stretches across the spectrum from schools to saving historic sites to fighting LNG. A retired physical education teacher who now works as an Education Consultant at the Brown University Institute of Community Health Promotion, Susan received both a bachelor’s degree and subsequently a Master’s degree in School Administration from Rhode Island College. She and her husband Glenn are the parents of three grown children and have three grandchildren. When not dedicating time and energy to issues, Susan enjoys gardening, painting, walking, kayaking and singing with a group of friends.

when I moved back to Bristol I was married with small children. Most of my childhood friends had moved away and volunteering was a way to meet people and develop new friendships. This was before Parents as Teachers and

playgroups. When I saw a notice that the Bristol Art Museum was looking to start up again and needed volunteers, I joined. Today most of my good friends are involved with non-profits and if I hadn’t started volunteering I wouldn’t have met them. When you volunteer you meet the best people!

we recently started to build a fourth Habitat home, our first in Bristol. Handing the keys over to a family is a very moving experience. The first hand stories about the difference a home makes in the lives of the children are so poignant. I got involved with Linden place and the Bristol Art Museum because I wanted people to appreciate those places as much as I do. Growing up I lived downtown and would bike with my friend to the Art Museum, drop the bikes in the hedges and visit the exhibits. The docents would welcome us and talk to us. They helped me appreciate the art and made me feel that it was important to learn something about it.

My parents also volunteered in town. My mother worked with the Bristol Junior Women’s Club and church groups and my father helped form the Historic District Commission and served on the Harbor Commission. He felt strongly about giving back because he loved Bristol so much.

Susan Donovan

I was able to volunteer with a full time job while raising three children because my husband was so supportive. For me, volunteering is a huge part of my life. I have a desire to make things the best they can be. Bristol is a great place to live and I want everyone to really love living here. I just love the environment and I want to preserve it. I want the town to prosper but not at the expense of

the town’s beauty. I wouldn’t feel a part of the community if I wasn’t involved. Some people don’t know how to take that first step. I think scouting programs really plant those seeds for volunteering so when children become adults it isn’t a stretch to volunteer. Can you imagine how even more wonderful Bristol would be if everyone got involved? sdonovan@fullchannel.net –Nina Murphy

Inside Bristol’s Fourth of July celebrations by Jeanette St. Pierre Photography by Ron Silva, courtesy of the Bristol Fourth of July Parade Committee

hether you’re a longtime spectator of the parade or it’s your first year getting in on the festivities, we’ve put together everything you need to know to have the best 4th of July ever. From pre- and post-celebrations and parade traditions to the meaning behind the procession and where to eat on parade day, we’ve got you covered. Read on to discover all the ins and outs of the most historic (and awesome) parade the Bay – and this country – has to offer.

The Rookie’s Guide

How to survive (and enjoy!) your first Bristol parade

Get there early. Real early. The parade may start at 10:30am, but Fourth fanatics know to mark their spot before the sun comes up. You can officially put your blankets, tents and chairs down as early as 5am. With road detours starting at 7am, your best bet is to get caffeinated and embrace your inner early bird. Just imagine it’s a majestic bald eagle.

Pack a cooler. Then pack another. Depending on where you sit, the parade can run three or more hours. You’re going to need a ton of water, refreshments and food to keep you hydrated and fueled. All of the everyday rules apply about open container drinking today too, so Uncle Sam insists you keep it classy.

Or be free and go late. They say freedom lies in being bold, but in this case you’re not just being audacious, you’re being strategic. The 2.5-mile parade takes about 90 minutes to wind its way to the end, which is by the Town Common on High Street. That means you can arrive after 10:30am, head to the finish line, politely squeeze yourself in to the crowded viewing area and not miss a grand ol’ thing.

Park the American way. Open-to-the-public parking lots are fair game (think supermarket and strip mall lots). If you can’t find a spot in a free lot, check the residential side roads. On-street parking is legit, as long as you’re not blocking a driveway or fire hydrant, or otherwise parking unlawfully. USA! USA! USA!

Wear all the right colors. Parade-goers proudly sport their best red, white and blue, and they do it from head to toe. From spray-painted hair and face paint to artistically manicured toes that would make Betsy Ross blush, there’s no such thing as too much patriotic flair today.

Bring your own shade. Bristol is known for its tree-lined streets, so you might get lucky with a shady seat. If not, be prepared with wide hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, an umbrella, a tent or any creative way to beat the sun’s heat. Bonus points if your gear has stars and stripes on it.

Leave your dogs at home. If you’ve read the first six tips, then you know it’s going to be a long, hot and exhausting day. Yet totally worth it! But not for your pets. The loud noises from cannons, shotguns and marching bands might frighten your fourlegged companions. Do your duty and leave them in a cooled home.

Bring cash… or pay the price. As prepared as you’ll be, there’s going to be something that catches your fancy along the route that you’ll want to purchase. Maybe it’s the cherry lemonade or the oversized Dora the Explorer inflatable on a stick. It will most certainly be the hot dogs. Street vendors deal only with cash, so a stop at the ATM is critical if you’re going to do any impulse buying.

Have a Yankee Doodle Dandy of a time. Getting to and staying at the parade is clearly a lot of work, but it pales in comparison to what the truly brave have done for our country. Let’s stand united and salute the people that have come before us and those that continue to fight for our independence. May the Fourth be with you today, and everyday!

Ditto for bikes. You are prohibited to ride a bike alongside the parade, which year after year leads to cyclists awkwardly walking their bikes down the route. And let’s be honest here, rudely blocking the glorious view for sidewalk spectators. Instead of raining on the parade, find a safe place to lock your bike up if you pedaled to Bristol from the East Bay Bike Path.

Inside Bristol’s Celebrations Before the Parade Even Starts Think the festivities kick off at 10:30am on the corner of Chestnut and Hope? Think again. Here are four little known traditions that happen before the parade even takes its first step. Most of the churches in Bristol unite for The Ringing of the Bells at 6am. A tradition that’s been upheld for more years than anyone can seem to remember, it’s a peaceful and beautiful way to wake up to an otherwise loud and exciting day. You might know that ABC6 is the official broadcast partner of the parade, airing it live right near Leo’s Ristorante on Hope Street. What you might not know is that the station also airs a Pre-Parade Show at 8am. Those already in town can catch the

preview musical presentation for an ultimate parade sneak peek. The Patriotic Exercises held in front of the Colt Memorial School at 8:30am mark the official opening of the day. Open to the public, the fairly formal ceremony includes pomp and circumstance customs like the Pledge of Allegiance and the introduction of the Bristol Town Council. Bristol resident Dr. Donald Farish, who also happens to be the President of Roger Williams University, is delivering the

official patriotic speech this year. Another decades-long tradition is the morning’s Military Fly Over. While it doesn’t start before the parade (well, that also depends on where you’re viewing it), it does happen within 15 minutes or so of the start. The RI National Guard is doing the honors this year, and depending on the fleet that’s available that day, expect anywhere from one to four high-profile military aircrafts to zoom over Bristol in spectacular fashion.

By the Numbers • The

Bristol parade is the oldest in the country, and this year marks its 230th continuous Independence Day celebration.

• The first Bristol celebration was on July 4, 1785.

• The red, white and blue painted stripes were

added to the parade route in 1969. It takes over 100 gallons of paint to cover the two and a half mile strip each year.

• The first Miss Fourth of July, Evelyn Lemaire,

was crowned in 1948. The first Little Miss Fourth of July, Ashley Ann Oliveiria, was crowned in 1997.

Local police and fire units along with local, state and city of Providence elected officials close it out.  Did you know: Only current elected officials are invited to walk. Division 1, Military: Active military from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard come through in this division.  Did you know: The Defense Department sets the order in which the forces march.

Bristol’s MVPP (most valuable parade people) It really takes a village to make this parade happen. An America-loving village of dedicated, unpaid committee members and volunteers that work year round. In fact, the first committee meeting for the 2016 parade is already set, and it’s happening a mere 12 days after this year’s celebration on July 16. “We do it because we believe in Independence Day,” says Ray Lavey, General Chairman. “It’s incredibly gratifying to be a part of it all.” One of the biggest (and most sought after) positions is that of the Chief Marshal. Hand-selected by the General Chairman, the honorary role is filled by a different Bristol resident each year. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a lifelong resident to hold the dignified title. “We look for individuals that are longstanding, upstanding and outstanding contributors to the good of our town,” Ray explains. Raymond Gallison, Jr, this year’s Chief Marshal, has a deep resume of doing good deeds for the community at large. From being an environmental advocate to serving on Senator

the Bay | July 2015

Reed’s Veteran’s Advisory Council, Raymond has an impressive list of accolades, achievements and awards (you can read his bio on www.july4thbristolri.com). You can spot Chief Marshal Gallison at all of the official Fourth of July events. You might be wondering, how can I be a MVPP? You can start by supporting the parade financially. From showing up at a fundraiser to purchasing a patriotic state license plate to throwing in some change when the hat gets passed around, there’s no shortage of ways to give back. You can even become an acknowledged Proud Sponsor of the parade. A tiered donation system starting at $30, the annual contribution gets you an official listing on the parade’s website. To make a donation, send a check made payable to the Bristol Fourth of July Committee, P.O. Box 561, Bristol RI 02809. Include your name, mailing address and email address with your donation.

Two if by Sea After the takeoff of their nautically-inspired rope bracelet company and the birth of their first child, one Newport couple was ready to settle down in the suburbs. With an eye for decorating

and woodworking experience caring for a â€™73 sailboat, they were able to turn a small summer cottage in Portsmouth into a beautiful oceanfront home. Turn the page to read more. July 2015 | The BAY

Elizabeth and Dave Norton’s love for the ocean has tastefully influenced their home’s decor

Nautically-Inspired Living Before they even knew each other, Elizabeth and Dave Norton had much in common. Both Rhode Island natives raised in Barrington, the two shared a love of the ocean. “We both grew up on the docks of Barrington Yacht Club,” explains Elizabeth. It only made sense then, that after the two met and married, they settled in the City-by-the-Sea. Newport was the perfect fit for the Nortons, and it’s where, in 2010, they launched Lemon & Line, a nautically-inspired bracelet line for men and women. The rope bracelets, made with marine grade materials, has grown to include an impressive selection of styles and colors. In 2014, the Nortons opened Lemon & Line’s flagship shop on Newport’s famed Thames Street and today, the brand has

the Bay | July 2015

expanded to include accessories like key fobs, belts, caps and totes. But after they had their daughter Elle, Elizabeth and Dave decided to look for a home with more room and space to landscape located in a quieter town. The couple discovered a unique situation in Portsmouth’s Common Fence Point, a cozy coastal enclave perched on the northernmost tip of Aquidneck Island in the middle of Mount Hope Bay. The home, built in the 1940s, had been considerably renovated, but still left some room for improvement. “[The previous owners] basically gutted the entire thing and added a substantial addition… they had a great eye for architecture and they were able to preserve some of the original

features like the fireplace,” explains Elizabeth. Unfinished details and a kitchen that demanded a complete overhaul gave them pause, however. Still, Elizabeth was all in. Dave needed more convincing. “I instantly fell in love with it. I think Dave was a little more reluctant… He was a little overwhelmed,” she says. But the couple has spotted diamonds in the rough before. In fact, when they first visited what would become their Newport home, it was Elizabeth who was the hesitant one. But together they made the house a loving – and beautiful – home. “We call it ‘Nortonizing’ it,” Elizabeth says, laughing, conceding that the tongue-in-cheek description means basically making the most of

every space. The Common Fence Point house’s enviable water view, and Elizabeth’s persistence, helped convince Dave this was “the one.” “I loved the bones of it,” Elizabeth says. Soon, the couple was hard at work on the summer-cottage-turned-permanent-home. “I think one of the challenges that we faced was that there were a number of unfinished nooks and crannies around the house. The previous owners were fans of using oversized armoires to fill these spaces. Dave and I prefer a little more of a purposeful and streamlined look, so we turned to custom woodworking. Years of maintaining a ‘73 Pearson sailboat has really honed Dave’s skills as a woodworker,” says Elizabeth.

The couple rolled up their sleeves and, project by project, transformed one space at a time. But they also knew when to let the pros do the heavy lifting. The Nortons turned to JPS Construction and Design of Middletown to give the dated kitchen an entire new look and feel. The team added new cabinetry and installed a glass tile backsplash, both of which aesthetically complement dual built-ins in the kitchen as well. “We built a dining space in the kitchen with custom benches and a maple table,” continues Elizabeth. “We also created a recessed desk area in the kitchen. I call it the control center of our home. It’s where we keep our family’s calendar of activities, mail and

Elle’s most recent works of art.” This past fall, the Nortons decided it was time to address the seriously deficient mudroom. “When we moved in, there was already an entryway at the back door with a tiled floor, but it lacked storage. So Dave and I built a custom bench and installed shiplap on the wall with cleats to hang jackets,” says Elizabeth. The style and function of the spacesaving solution became one of Elizabeth’s favorites, as has the room itself. “I think I’d shiplap my entire house if I could, but for now it’s only in the mudroom.” Avid sailors, the space is ideal for all the gear, clothing and footwear traipsing in and out of the house this time of year, but the mudroom truly proved its worth early on. “To be honest, I don’t know how we lived

without a mudroom. It certainly came in handy this past winter when we all came in covered in snow and could just hang everything to dry,” says Elizabeth. The home improvements extended to the outside as well. The Nortons created a patio and devised a landscape plan for the property. “Besides interior design, I really enjoy landscape design and gardening. I absolutely love getting my hands dirty,” says Elizabeth. “I’ve learned everything I know about decorating and gardening from my mom, Linda. She has shared her passion for beautiful spaces with me and I can’t thank her enough. Even though she still gets on me if I hang a picture too high!” The Nortons took a cue from their coastal surroundings when it came to

the color palette and general aesthetic throughout the house. “I’m into clean lines, minimal clutter – tough with a three year old!” says Elizabeth. In fact, it’s Elle’s room that takes a bold departure from the otherwise muted tones as the three year old is surrounded by vibrant coral-hue walls. Despite all the beauty within, this time of year the view of the glistening Sakonnet River takes center stage, which is why the trio spends much time on the wrap-around farmer’s porch taking it all in.

Wrapped Around Her Wrist Meet Beecher Leonard-Fritzmeier, one of Alex and Ani’s lead designers

Photography by Ian Travis Barnard

Beecher Leonard-Fritzmeier is the vice president of design at Alex and Ani. We sat down with her to talk summer style beyond the bangle. You’ve got such a chic sense of style. I’d call your look bohemian minimalist. How would you describe it? I have never put a label on it. I like mixing feminine and masculine looks and I prefer a minimalist look, building interest with accessories. Your designer brand cred is through the roof. Tell me about your journey from Coach to Brahmin to Alex and Ani, and how your past experience influences what you do now. I love accessories, from jewelry to leather goods to hats to sunglasses. I am fortunate to have had a clear career path. My past experiences have

allowed me to realize that I prefer to be in an environment where I get to utilize both sides of my brain. I love collaborative companies where I am able to be both creative and business savvy. What’s an average day like at Alex and Ani for you? There is no average day. I always feel challenged. I have an amazing team and we touch every product category to ensure that we are giving our customer the best experience possible. I think most people only think of Alex and Ani as a bangle company. What else do you create? Right now, we offer expandable necklaces, earrings and rings along with leather goods, candles, room spray and body care. We always look forward and the future holds many

other exciting possibilities. We want to offer essential, high quality items that our customer will use and appreciate throughout the day. What’s the next big thing we can expect? Tell me about what’s on the horizon. Our precious metal assortment will be expanding as we move into 2016. Our founder, Carolyn Rafaelian, not only comes up with beautiful designs but is also focused on new functionality so we will be continuing to come out with new innovative pieces in the next year. How do you come up with ideas for new bangles when you’re working with such a popular brand? How do you distinguish new designs from what people already know and love? It is all about the connection and

offering our customers meaningful pieces that they can relate to. We have an incredible team who strives to create original artwork that ties to authentic meanings. What jewelry do you wear every day? I am obsessed with our Precious line. The pieces are comfortable and easy to wear so I never have to take them off and they are delicate enough so they never feel overpowering. They can be layered with other jewelry so they are truly the perfect staple pieces.

Dukes of Barrington presents itself as a seasoned, well-established business on Barrington’s County Road. Dukes is run by owner Sarah St. Jacques and general manager/buyer Shavoy Lawrence, who noticed a lack of menswear stores in the area and set out to do something about it. Together, they have created a concept boutique with a refreshing sense of style. Sarah and Shavoy have strict requirements for the items available in their store. Sarah states that their products are “high quality – nothing mass-produced in Asia – predominantly USA or European brands” that

abide by strict corporate responsibility procedures – hence their slogan “Do Good. Be Good. With Style.” You’re not likely to find these brands at the mall, as some are being established and others are up-and-coming. Dukes features an assortment of menswear brands, lifestyle goods and grooming products including leather goods, “athleisure” wear, denim, hats and sneaker bags to name a few. Diehard denim fans will enjoy the selection of raw denim by Baldwin, while the more classic type can enjoy the selvedge denim by brands such as Naked & Famous. Sarah and Shavoy aim to provide

clothing that is fun but of good quality. The quality of the clothes is apparent, especially in the assortment of jackets – a notable brand being Stutterheim Raincoats, handmade in Sweden with no stitches and worn by Kanye West. Other noteworthy items are custommade shoes from Italy. For unique styles for high school students to older gentlemen, check out Dukes of Barrington in the Prince’s Hill Plaza in Barrington. 1.

There isn’t a morning that goes by where I’m not sucking down a coffee within minutes of waking up. Coffee provides the fuel for my day, but along with my other vice, red wine, it had wreaked ugly havoc on my teeth. My chompers were suddenly looking more yellow than white. So I made an appointment at Dutchman Dental for an in-office whitening treatment. Driving down Main Road, I was looking for a medical-looking building but instead pulled into a Dutch Colonial house. As I stepped on to the front porch, it didn’t feel like I was going to the dentist. Inside, I walked into the waiting area and was welcomed by antique sofas, a fireplace and a down-to-earth staff. Within minutes, Felicia, my dental hygienist, escorted me to the patient room. More homey surprises were waiting for me. Each of the seven rooms has a different theme, like beach or Midwest. My room was inspired by Native American culture and included art, antiques and tasteful details like colorful wall paint and light fixtures. Felicia was pleasantly informative throughout the two-hour process. First, a putty-like substance on a metal tray was placed in my mouth to make an impression for the molded trays for my at-home maintenance. Next was the Phillips Zoom process. With a mouth guard and protective eyeglasses in place, a prescription strength bleach gel was applied to my teeth followed by four 15-minute intervals under a UV light. Midway through, owner and dentist JP Van Regenmorter causally strolled in. He was so laid-back that I mumbled to Felicia, “Is that him?” JP, as staff and

patients know him, came to check in on my progress. “It’s looking good,” he said. Before I knew it, a mirror was placed in my hand. My teeth were so ridiculously white that I started to laugh out loud. “You’re at a B1,” Felicia said, explaining that mine was the lightest natural shade possible. “It’s all about comfort for my patients,” JP told me afterwards, as we sat on the front porch while birds chirped away at a nearby feeder. “The experience I want for my patients is the one I want.” After working in a practice that was in “a box within a box,” or a typical medical type office within a sterile medical building, he knew he wanted a completely different approach. With a mission to have “no white lab coats or bad attitudes,” JP created an easy-going environment where everyone calls each other by their first name. “I just wanted a simple approach to the very complicated,” he says. Though the family practice is about as chill as you can get, the equipment used is state-of-the-art. Single-visit porcelain crowns, advanced digital imaging, in-house lab technicians and a variety of progressive instruments allow JP to not only be the good, old-fashioned village dentist, but also offer the highest-grade options. For me, that was whiter than white teeth on my extended lunch hour. And a smile worth smiling about.

A Mediterranean Medley Fine dining meets local seafood at the Red Dory

Photography by Force 4 Photography

Although I was upset to see the Stone Bridge Restaurant close, I knew the space would not be vacant for long. The prime spot on Main Road in Tiverton offers beautiful views of the Sakonnet River and the northern coast of Aquidneck Island. While not truly waterfront like some dining neighbors to the north and south, I always thought the view was more interesting for its liveliness – whether it was beachgoers across the street at Grinnell’s or even the Sunday drivers rubber-necking on Main Road, there was always something to keep you interested until the next boat went by. The new occupant is The Red Dory, skippered by chef and owner Steve Johnson. A 25-year veteran of the Boston restaurant scene, Johnson most recently operated the award-winning Rendezvous in Cambridge’s Central Square. His long-time connection to Westport and the Tiverton/Little Compton area has now brought his culinary attention full-time to the Bay. The theme is casual fine dining with

Grilled Shellfish Salad

a Mediterranean flair that leans toward seafood. The restaurant has been transformed into an open, colorful and contemporary space with a large bar – all of which improve on shortcomings from the prior layout. A deck for outdoor dining was not yet open, but should be by the time you read this. Our group arrived early on a Sunday evening and the place was abuzz – a bit surprising for being so early in the season. We were starving and immediately buried our noses in the appetizer menu when our waitress surprised us with the special Sunday tapas menu – a dozen or so small plates in the $6-8 range perfect for sharing and experimentation. Choices ranged from the simple (Spicy Fried Chick Peas with kale and preserved lemon) to the more exotic (Grilled Chicken Livers with collard greens and smoked bacon vinaigrette), with a good mix of vegetarian options. We went with Cauliflower Gratin with Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs ($6). The dish was tasty and not nearly

Lemon Buttermilk Pudding with Huckleberry Sauce

as heavy as the description suggests, a sign of the Mediterranean influence that would pervade throughout our meal. We also tried a trio of appetizers from the regular menu. The Middle Eastern Meze Plate ($12) was a fresh sampling of eggplant and pepper relishes, goat’s milk feta cheese, olives and almonds. Although we could live without the hummus that’s so often included in these kinds of plates, we could not live without the bread and had to ask our waitress for a basket. The tender Grilled Spanish Octopus ($13) with Romesco sauce (a Catalonian nut and red pepper sauce) was easily the favorite of those who tried it, but warning – this dish looks the part. The octopus tentacles are served whole, so be wary of squeamish tablemates. Finally, the sautéed Salmon Cakes ($13) with sweet pea purée, mint and Berber spices were chock-full of fish, a great execution on an item that can often be overly fried. For entrées, I ordered the Pork and Veal Meatballs ($18) with crispy orecchiette, oyster mushrooms and piave cheese. The sauce is actually a broth, which puts this dish in a memorably good place – heavier than a hearty soup but lighter than most pastas. The Bucatini ($12) with cauliflower, garlic, anchovy, capers and toasted pine nuts was also on the lighter side. Steak and seafood completed the

round. The Grilled Peppered Sirloin Steak ($28) with French fries and roasted garlic butter was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table quickly devoured the lone serving. The Skillet-roasted Skate Wing ($19) with baby artichokes, capers and Meyer lemon brown butter was also a hit, though surprisingly it was one of only two fish options for entrées. It’s a wonder we had room for dessert, but we found the room for two to share. The Maple Sugar Crème Brulee ($7) was a solid offering, but was surpassed by the Jedi-mind-tricking Chocolate Terrine ($8) with espresso crème anglaise and hazelnut pralines. The chocolate terrine looks like a slice of pâté or foie gras, making your mind and taste buds expect savory until they actually getº sweet chocolate. The restaurant is a welcome addition to Tiverton, and its convenient highway access makes it an easy trip from almost anywhere in the surrounding communities. In your summer travels, make sure to dock for a meal at The Red Dory.

out crowds. Restaurants she plans on sampling include Salvation Café, VanGogh Pizza, White Horse Tavern, Washington Square Cafe & Baking Co., Perro Salado, Mission and Mudville Pub. “Everyone loves good food and it shouldn’t be treated like an elitist activity. Chefs want you to experience their creative dishes,” says Paula. “So whenever you can share great regional foods in a communal setting while learning about the local history and culture, it’s a great experience and is fun for everyone.” Paula, a real estate agent, is very much in tune to happenings, trends and changes in local neighborhoods, such as the explosion of food businesses at Hope & Main’s food incubator, creative restaurants and food events popping up everywhere. As someone who eats out frequently, she also knows where the locals go and where the best food and prices are. The tour is geared toward locals and visitors alike. For visitors, Paula recommends they take the tour at the beginning of their visit so that they have some knowledge of where

to return to, and nine times out of ten they do return to have some of the signature dishes and cocktails they've sampled throughout the tour. For locals, you get a more indepth view of an area typically seen as a tourist trap, but chances are you'll come back during the off season or on a sunny weekend. Either way, it’s a win-win. “What a great source of pride it is when you’re sharing some of the principles on which Newport and RI were founded; it is so much a part of who we are as a country,” Paula beams. “Couple that with local and regional foods and you can learn a great deal about a place. Not to mention, after eating at six or seven places you will be happy to be walking it off!” 401-684-1110, psilva@rhodeislandredfoodtours.com; www.rhodeislandredfoodtours.com Oysters for the Masses Fans of Pizzico Ristorante’s Italian and fusion cuisine will be psyched to know that they’ve just added an oyster bar to round out their menu.

Although these half shell delectable delights are available all the time, take note to enjoy them Monday through Friday from 3-6pm and Sunday all night during happy hour – the half price appetizers during this time are sure to be a nice accompaniment too. To top it off, you can enjoy all of this al fresco, and really, what’s better than that this time of year? 308 County Road, Barrington. 401-2470303, www.stockfoodgoup.com Truckin’ in Flavor If you’re itching to try area food trucks but don’t have the time to go chasing after them, there’s a solution for you. Every other Wednesday from 6-9pm through September 23, the Residence Inn Marriot Middletown Newport hosts their Local Flavors Food Truck Series. It’s open to locals as well as hotel visitors. Expect to savor Mijos Tacos on July 1, Rocket Fine Street Food on July 15 and Acacia Café on July 29. 325 W Main Road, Middletown. www.foodtrucksin.com/organization/residenceinn-marriott-newportmiddletown

Attention history buffs and foodies: you no longer have to enjoy your passions separately. Since May, Paula Silva of Rhode Island Red Food Tours combined these two passions into a three-hour walking tour in Newport. “We’ll start at a restaurant like Salvation Café, [and talk] about the history of the building, its business and the food we are about to eat,” Paula explains. “Then we’ll walk down the street where I talk a little about how it has come along through history, pointing out other restaurants, businesses and landmarks on the way. We will do this at several other locations along the route and have a variety of sweets and maybe a local beer. Then we’ll wrap up at the White Horse Tavern for a wonderful bit of tavern history and of course something special to end the day.” Rhode Island Red Food Tours covers a diverse selection of restaurants, from cafes to pubs, to casual and formal dining on the tour. Paula has eight tours scheduled for July and is hoping for (and expecting) sell-

The Daily Scoop keeps ice cream at home and in the family When Bob and Deb Saunders, the husband-wife duo behind The Daily Scoop, were growing up in Barrington, the town did not have a local ice cream shop. Now, with 16 years of business under their belts, they realize that the teenagers who work at their shop have never known the town without The Daily Scoop’s delicious homemade ice cream.

Gallery & Open Studio Event 5:30-9:00

When did you decide that you would open an ice cream shop in town? My wife, Deb, and I had talked about opening a homemade ice cream shop in Barrington for years. We were boaters and would find great homemade ice cream shops wherever we went. How long does it usually take to perfect a new flavor recipe? It takes a few runs of a new flavor to get it right. I’ve also realized that what I like is not always what others like, so I also take suggestions. A few years ago a customer suggested that our coffee frozen yogurt could be stronger so I tweaked the recipe. I wished he had told me about 12 years earlier!

Photography by Force 4 Photography

Are you able to source any of your ingredients locally? I make early morning trips to Tourtellot & Company in Warwick and the staff there always give me the best of the best. If you like peaches, then you’ll have to try my peach ice cream. It’s a time-consuming flavor to make and there are no short cuts. The peaches need to be scrubbed, pitted, blended and marinated overnight – it’s worth it though. Deb would add that the most important ingredient at The Daily Scoop is our staff. We have amazing kids working for us each year and they are all local. I hear that your carrot cake ice cream has an entire carrot cake in it. Is that true? Carrot cake was a favorite dessert of mine for a while so I thought, “why not stuff it into an ice cream machine?” It’s really time-consuming and would sell out so quickly. When we make it now, we buy the carrot cake from Barbara at Billy’s Restaurant. It’s an amazing carrot cake that makes amazing ice cream.

The day you open for the season in Barrington is practically a holiday. Are there any traditions you carry out year to year? We give free ice cream to moms on Mother’s Day and to dads on Father’s Day. These traditions are our ways of saying thank you to the parents who have made us a part of their family memories. While interviewing employees for this season, Deb and I were struck by how many employees were born in 2000. We realized that these kids don’t know Barrington without The Daily Scoop! That’s a big thrill for us. We didn’t have anything like The Daily Scoop growing up in town, and we’re happy to have been able to create something that is so special to so many people in town and beyond. What are your and Deb’s favorite flavors? Vanilla for me, I like fresh and simple flavors. I call the vanilla I use liquid gold. Deb’s favorite flavor is strawberry, because of how I make it. I use two flats of fresh strawberries. Similar to how I make the peach ice cream, the strawberries are scrubbed, hulled and marinated overnight. I’m not sure there’s a place around that makes it like I do. Why did you pick Bristol for your second shop?

Gallery & Open Studio Event 5:30-9:00 The location! We loved that it was across from the harbor and such a nice park. It’s such a thrill to see families stop at our Bristol shop and then spend time together in the park. We really love the surrounding businesses and Bristol has welcomed us with open arms.

October 22

Why did you choose the East Bay to run your ice cream shops? Because it’s home. We were both fortunate to have grown up in Barrington and I had been in business on County Road owning the Shell Station with my brother for 20 years. Going somewhere else never crossed our minds.

ArtNightBristolWarren.org

Can you describe your perfect Daily Scoop ice cream sundae? I’m a purist so my favorite is simple: Vanilla ice cream in a homemade waffle cone. Deb would probably say Banana Peanut Butter or Coconut Almond ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and nuts.

Bluewater Bar and Grill Hidden away on Tyler Point Peninsula, the Bluewater Bar and Grill was a well-kept secret for years. Dine on the patio in the summer, or go indoors to the full bar and dining room. Insiders recommend the Fried Yellow Tomato appetizer with prosciutto and cheese. Entrees include salads, seafood dishes and pastas, with standout selections like the Surf ‘n’ Turf, a bistro filet with lobster tail. Locals love the Mushroom Ravioli and the Sausage and Chicken Rigatoni. For dessert, try the Limoncello Mascarpone Cake, a lemon sponge cake with white chocolate curls. Bluewater recently opened its doors for lunch from Thursday to Sunday.

Lunch favorites are the Avocado BLT and the Watermelon Salad with mango vinaigrette. Eat on the patio, where entertainers perform on Sundays. Sip a Berry Mojito or the enticing Spiced Watermelon Cobbler. Craft beers rotate on draft and the wine list is bountiful. Families take note – kids under 10 eat free on Sundays. Weekly promotions include $10 pastas on Tuesday and halfpriced bottles of wine on Thursdays. Visit the Facebook page to reserve tickets for Bluewater’s monthly beer and wine events. For its vibe, location and treasured dishes, locals recommend Bluewater. Enjoy the taste of summer, anytime of the year, right on the water.

The Coast Guard House The Coast Guard House is a Rhode Island institution. The restaurant has reopened after being devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Sip on a Bloody Uprising in the new first floor dining room while taking in the sights of Narragansett Town Beach, watching the surf roll in and out. Visitors can enjoy a selection of a Chardonnay created by Newport Vineyards, a Mudslide made with Dave’s Coffee Syrup or other thirst-quenching selections.

Regulars ask about the organic chicken and scallops dishes that have been longtime favorites. New menu items include Shrimp Tempura and a Crab Mac ’n Cheese. The swordfish comes from local fishermen, while the produce is from Farm Fresh Rhode Island. Whether you’re in the mood for a post-swim cocktail or a seaside dinner for two, the Coast Guard House has what you need.

light in this environment are a constant fascination to me, and this is reflected in much of my work. I also strive to express observations about things that occur in the world around me, and continue to investigate materials and methods to make this possible.” One of his special lines is what he calls “devotional art,” which commemorates people’s pets and beloved animals in glass. “I have always enjoyed the reliable companionship of animals as do many others,” he says. “My designs for these pieces take into account the interaction that the owners had with their animal. They are meant to provide lasting positive memories for the owners.” His studio is quite spartan; the only standard pieces of furniture are a swiveling stool and three workbenches. One holds kilns as well as related tools and materials. Another has light boxes and supplies used for glass painting. The third is the largest, and is used for glass cutting and stained glass assembly with all related tools. There are also shelf units holding fasteners, tape and small pieces of hardware, hand power tools, sanding supplies and other small tools. A large divided shelf unit holds hundreds of pieces of glass in many

colors and textures. There are large shelves on the back wall holding dozens of antique stained glass windows that he owns, waiting for restoration. He sees things in glass that others cannot. Then, there are those who see things he cannot. “The strangest reaction I have had was when a lady was viewing my clear glass cluster pendants and said that she could see different animals in them. She purchased the ‘elephant,’” he says. His wife is his best model and salesperson, whose ideas have influenced his jewelry designs. “My wife has been completely supportive of my transition to the art world. She has volunteered for art organizations that provide opportunities for artists like myself to have more opportunities to show our work,” he explains. “She always provides honest feedback and encouragement about my work.” And it looks like her feedback is just the tip of the iceberg, as he has many more pieces to show the world, and much more art to create.

Band of Brothers Tyler & Ryan bring their sweet melodies to Bristol

Farm Market & Cafe

Bristol’s own Tyler & Ryan have racked up millions of views on their YouTube page, covering songs by Jason Mraz, Ellie Goulding and Taylor Swift, among others. They’ve been involved with America’s Got Talent and The Voice, and won a battle of the bands held by Ryan Seacrest’s website. Now the brothers are preparing for a series of live appearances in RI this summer. Cover songs have been key to Tyler and Ryan Falcoa’s success. They created their YouTube page in 2010 with the initial intent of uploading original songs, but it wasn’t until they began including covers that their view count skyrocketed into the millions. Their channel is currently holding steady at around 40,000 subscribers – not bad for two Bristol kids who can’t legally drink yet. “The boys started together in the basement of their home about ten years ago,” says Nicole Estrella, one of band’s biggest advocates. “Ryan started on drums and Tyler started on the electric guitar. Both are self-taught musicians and were inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s classic rock to get them started. About four years ago they started their YouTube page, DirtyTAR, which paved the path they are currently on.” Starting out on rock and making the transition to pop, the brothers honed their craft together. Tyler started out as the sole vocalist and remained so until 2011. Through the years he’s also learned to play bass, drums, piano, banjo, mandolin and ukulele. Ryan has since taken up the guitar and began singing at the time of their YouTube page launch. “Regardless of who sang, Tyler and Ryan always stuck together,” Nicole says. A year after launching their YouTube page, they began uploading covers and the view count climbed. Their popularity got them noticed by Ryan Seacrest’s website, which was looking to pit eight YouTube acts against each other to see who had the best rendition of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass.” Three rounds of worldwide fan voting later, Tyler & Ryan emerged victorious. A month later, they performed in front of 5,000 fans at Playlist Live at

They’ve also been involved with both America’s Got Talent and The Voice, receiving two audition requests from the producers and advancing to various production rounds. In addition to YouTube, Tyler & Ryan make their music available through iTunes. An incentive for fans to purchase songs is that a portion of the proceeds goes to the American Cancer Society, a cause near to the brothers’ hearts. “Their grandfather was diagnosed with cancer a couple years back,” Nicole says. “That incident opened their eyes to the opportunities they could create just by doing what they love. This was a shift in direction with their music. Their grandfather is now cancer-free and they continue to nurture that social responsibility in which they hold so high.” That shift to a pop-oriented sound increased the quantity of their fan base. “Tyler’s biggest influence was Steve Jobs,” Nicole says. “The way he brought people together, thought about ideas and set them forward plays a huge part in the way Tyler thinks when creating with Ryan. His brother Ryan also influences him. He pushes Tyler’s creative flow. Ryan’s biggest influence is his brother Tyler. Together they push each other to be the best they can be, thus creating music

that resonates well with not only their audience, but also themselves. ” While covers have gotten them noticed, they’re prepping original music that Nicole says stays in line with their current style. “As far as original music, the boys like to keep their audience happy. If you have listened to or seen their YouTube covers, their original music does not run too far from their cover sound,” Nicole explains. “They are a pop duo so they love to play around with beats and catchy melodies. They love acoustic music, so having an acoustic sound with a colorful tone is essential. If you love a lot of bass then you will enjoy their originals, which they plan on releasing real soon.” Now they’re getting ready to step out from viewers’ computer screens and onto Rhode Island stages. They’ve teamed up with Warwick’s Launch Trampoline Park and will be performing at a series of Teen Night shows on July 11, August 8 and August 29 at 7pm. “Tell anyone who loves to jump on trampolines and listen to music to come by Launch in Warwick, for those dates!” Nicole says.

July 2015 | The BAY

Taste Test

by Ali McGowan

Not Your Average Salad Easily versatile, fresh with the season and always packed with a textural punch, is there any reason not to love a well-composed salad? We knew the Bay was stocked with culinary talent, but salad geniuses? We couldn’t be-leaf it.

Pear-ed to Perfection

Mouthwatering Medley

Pizzico Ristorante in Barrington showed us that protein doesn’t always have to be a salad’s main event. Sliced, grilled pears brought their baby spinach salad with raw walnuts, smoky “mind-blowing” Gorgonzola and a maple balsamic vinaigrette to another level. 308 County Road, Barrington. 401-247-0303, www. stockfoodgroup.com

If you’re a goat cheese lover, you need to try Simone’s flank steak salad, tossed in a housemade goat cheese vinaigrette. Paired with fresh mixed greens and roasted red peppers, Simone’s lightly seasoned salad sat atop slices of savory focaccia. Thin slices of grilled steak incorporated seamlessly into the dishes bold, roasted flavors, so we spent less time cutting and more time noshing. 275 Child Street, Warren. 401-247-1200, www.simonesri.com

The Classic Greek

Getting Cheesy with It Christian’s, A Wood Fired Grille in Bristol, will get you excited about ricotta cheese, we promise. Their herbed ricotta was paired with fennel pollen, frisee and lemon thyme vinaigrette, and gave us a whole new salad craving. Sweet grapefruit and perfectly cooked beets complemented each other for a nottoo-tart, subtly earthy combination that we felt was expertly prepared. 382 Thames Street, Bristol. 401-396-9811, www. christiansri.com

The Cobb Graduate

Succulent Crustaceans

Eli Kitchen’s Ward’s Berry Farm Butter Lettuce Salad was topped with lightly salted but not-too-crispy bacon, thinly sliced 4 Town Farm radishes and perfectly hardboiled eggs. The house-made green goddess dressing highlighted the freshness without distracting from their simplicity. 40 Market Street, Warren. 401-2451809, www.eliskitchenwarren.com

Melville Grille’s Greek-style shrimp salad was a feast for the Mediterranean soul. Mixed greens tossed with vibrant vegetables were the perfect bed for shrimp. We loved the traditional Greek components of this salad; the lemon herb vinaigrette brought the whole dish together. 1 Lagoon Road # 10, Portsmouth. 401-6844400, www.melvillegrille.com

In Rhea’s Kitchen’s Greek salad, we could taste the freshness of ripe Campari tomatoes, English cucumbers, Kalamata olives and scallions and appreciated its lettuce-less character. Generous amounts of Dodoni feta cheese were balanced with a homemade dressing that didn’t oversaturate the dish. 120 W Main Road, Middletown. 401-841-5560, www. rheaskitchen.com
