“Forget about reading, writing and arithmetic. The five R's here are relax, reflect, revitalize, rejoice and renew. Kenneth Cote Renewal Center covers all the above bases. Experience pampering in the spa where you'll enjoy their day spa packages. The fashionable, diverse clientele, ranging from prom-going teenagers to socialites and everyone in between, can't seem to get enough of this place." –Rhode Island MonthlyVoted Best West Bay Salon 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011Best West Bay Spa 2010 & 2011Best West Bay Facial 2009

Facial Was Fantastic"Finding an upscale, clean, professional spa is a difficult task. After a few attempts at other "day spas" (beware any beauty parlor with a curtain and a foot bath that calls themselves a day spa) I finally discovered Kenneth Cote. Relaxed atmosphere yet professional! Very clean environment, well-versed employees, good products and product knowledge, spa area separate from salon area, peaceful and relaxing. No hard-sell of products though I did leave with a few of my own choosing. No pressure for rebooking though I scheduled another day package and also a few weekly appointments. Good hours, evening appointments are available and easy parking. I would recommend an hour massage… the halfhour wasn't enough for me. Facial was fantastic as well." –Christine M., Prov., RI

“People ask me where I get my hair cut all the time!” –Will M., NK, RI

The More You Know“After a disastrous coloring experience, I found myself in Rhode Island with hideous hair. I called and begged for a color correction appointment and they fit me in the next day. My stylist patiently stepped through the process of neutralizing the red color, recoloring and highlighting my hair so that it looked normal again instead of the one inch red band at my hairline and then dark ash blonde. I also appreciated that there was another colorist in the salon who made suggestions on how to best undo the coloring disaster she inherited. The more you know, indeed.” –Sue D., Arlington, VA

Found What I Was Looking For“My stylist is so knowledgeable and professional. Not only did she cut my hair expertly, she gave me lots of great advice and tips about products and styling techniques specifically for my hair type and style. After four years of trying salon after salon, and stylist after stylist all over Rhode Island, I finally found what I was looking for in both!" –Erica B., EG. RI

Worth The Trip!“My stylist is great and I always come out looking like a million and receive many compliments on my cut and color. I know that traveling to East Greenwich is a longer trip for me but Kenneth Cote is well worth the trip!” –Beverly C., NP, RI

Contributor

James Jones is a photographer

who was born in Japan, and

grew up between Tokyo and

Medford, Massachusetts. He

recently returned to the coun-

try of his birth to document the

devastation in the wake of the

earthquake and tsunami, work

that has been featured in both

Providence Monthly and East

Side Monthly, our sister maga-

zines. This month, he takes us

to Watch Hill’s iconic Ocean

House, where he photographed

our Fall Fashion cover story. “I

enjoy architecture. I enjoy some

fashion. But most of all I enjoy

photographing people being

themselves,” he says. “So, to

photograph boutique owners

in their own wares in a beautiful

building was a treat.”

Great Selection of Comfort Foods • Over 20 Specialties to Choose From

LettersThough we hated saying goodbye to summer, there’s so much we love about fall now that it’s here. The weather is still nice enough to be outside. The colors are gorgeous. The still-young football season and the World Series compete for our attention. So many wonderful foods are in harvest (more on that be-low). Perhaps our favorite part of the season, however, is the change in our wardrobe. Sweaters, light jackets, boots, scarves – fall fashion is really the best fashion. That’s why we’ve dedicated this month’s cover story to it. But instead of just picking our favorite selections out of the closet, we took some local bou-

tique owners down to Watch Hill’s chic Ocean House and asked them to show us their best for autumn. We think it will inspire you to dress up for the weather.

Elsewhere in this issue, we take you on some Halloween appropriate hikes to spooky local landmarks, and meet the new man in charge at the revital-ized Courthouse Center for the Arts. Of course, we couldn’t start the autumn off right without a nice, tasty slice of pumpkin pie – or four. You’ll find the best of the bunch in So Approved. Read on, and get ready to make the most out of one of our favorite months of the year. -Julie

So Happening | So & So

As URI’s academic year unfolds, its hallowed halls teeming with young intellectuals, scholar-athletes and pro-fessors, another species is at large: zombies! In the flux of humanity on the URI quadrangle, suddenly, out of no-where, a zombie may infect a human, before your startled eyes.

Before you pull your kid out of col-lege, note that campus zombies aren’t the rise-from-the-dead-to-eat-the-flesh-of-the-living variety. They’re part of Humans vs. Zombies, a well-orga-nized version of extreme tag played on campuses around the world.

You sign up on your campus’s ‘HVZ’ website to be a human. Humans wear orange armbands – as long as they remain human, that is. Zombies wear orange headbands. Strict rules apply to all the action.

Jake Bromberg, entering his sec-ond intense year in the game, says college campuses are ideal game sites, because all activity must be outdoors. Humans on campus must go to classes and dining halls. “They can’t hide,” he warns. “Zombies can blockade dining halls to starve out humans. But humans can move about in groups, stock up on food, even call for a rescue mission.”

And humans have zombie-fighting weapons such as foam shooters. Jake says, “Humans may have an edge in the game, because a zombie has to

make physical contact to infect.”Game administrators organize ac-

tivities ranging from simple scaven-ger hunts to complex evacuations “to keep things interesting,” Jake explains. Moderators ensure fair play and answer questions about “buffer zones,” “ghosting” and, of course, “how to log kills.”

The game restarts every Friday at

midnight, when there’s only one “origi-nal” zombie. Thus begins twilight time for humans, when they can’t even trust each other, because that original zom-bie? No headband. It is among them, pretending to be as human as you or me, lurking, skulking, waiting to infect.

“It’s really recreational,” says Jake. Well, encounters with the undead al-ways are. –Bob Cipriano

In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, hundreds of thousands of people were without power or – worse – run-ning water.

Walk! Ride! – For the Health of It!, at the Phoenix House Exeter Center on October 15. The marathon includes your choice of a walk, run or bike ride through the fall weather, while the fitness fair Fit for Recovery! will feature a visit from the Rhode Island Blood Center’s Blood Mobile, plus yoga, aerobics and strength training demonstrations. A bake sale and barbecue will also be held. Participants will receive free in-formation on bicycle safety, nutrition, blood pressure, drug abuse and other health and fitness subjects. $25 per adult, children under 12 free. 331-4250, www.phoenixhouse.org/Rhode-Island.

VolunteerGet into the Halloween spirit with the Bradford Jonnycake Center of Westerly, as they sell refresh-ments at the Bates Haunted Mo-tel at Misquamicut Beach during the month of October. They will need two to three volunteers to staff the concession booths from Thursday to Sunday (6–11pm) each week. All funds raised will go to support the Jonnycake Center. If you’re unavailable to volunteer, you can also purchase general admission tickets for the motel; a portion of the proceeds gener-ated from ticket sales will also go to the Center. 377-8069, www.jon-nycakecenter.org.

INSIGHT, a statewide nonprofit devoted to helping Rhode Island-ers with visual impairments, is looking for drivers to transport their clients to monthly socials held at churches and synagogues from October to May. Volunteer drivers may sign up to help either for a certain month or an entire season. They will be picking up one or two clients in their area, transporting them to the social, and returning them to their homes. Volunteers are also invited to stay for the social and be treated to a free meal. Finally, volunteers must be willing to transport clients in their own cars, and must have their own insurance coverage. 941-3322, www.in-sight.org. -Meagan Gann

The latest collections have just arrived!

The Courthouse Center for the Arts (CCA) in West Kingston has a new director, but not necessarily a new direction. “First and foremost this is a community center for the arts, plural,” says Richard Ericson. “The highest pri-ority of the board remains education.” Ericson feels his directive is to expand the center’s offerings and outreach to the community. “We are still developing our strategic plan,” he explains. “This fall will be for rebuilding and refocusing the agenda.”

The newly minted consulting artistic director has to build his staff, and among the new hires will be a development director, a comptroller/building manag-er, a press and marketing director and a full time music supervisor. There are also teachers to hire for classes and a roster of theater techs to put in place. In order to regroup, the previously planned fall theater schedule (put in place by former director Russell Maitland, who left the Courthouse in the spring) was canceled and there will be a limited schedule until next year, when Ericson expects to have a full program in place.

Ericson brings a wealth of professional experience to the Courthouse. He holds a BFA in Drama from Carnegie Mellon University, where he studied acting. “I enjoyed the attention I got as an actor, but never felt entirely comfortable in my skin on stage,” he admits. “I always had much more interest in pulling together the entire show.” Over the years he has

produced more than 75 shows on and off Broadway, in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Atlantic City, as well as in regional and national tours. With partners Renny Serre and Laura Harris, Ericson founded FourQuest Entertainment in 1988 and ran the historic Theatre By the Sea in Matunuck for ten seasons. He directed their large scale, multi-cultural produc-tion of Wizard of Oz, which toured North America, Mexico and East Asia. He also has teaching credentials as an assistant professor at SUNY Purchase, and instructor at Circle-in-the-Square and New York University (Tisch School of the Arts), Webster University in St. Louis and at the University of Rhode Island.

“The difference here is that I have

never worked for a not-for-profit, with all that entails regarding the financial aspects,” he says, ”I’m really hopeful and I want to do this. The job is stewarding it financially and reaching out to make it happen here.” CCA’s financing comes from a combination of grants, private donations and fundraising.

Born in Tokyo to an American diplo-mat, Ericson grew up all over the world. It was at age nine that he found his calling. His parents took him to see My Fair Lady on stage in London. “I remem-ber the music starting and the curtain going up and sitting forward with my jaw dropping,” he laughs. “My mother says that she knew at that moment I was gone.”

for the past 22 years, Ericson has been constantly on the road. “I was always bemoaning the fact that I didn’t feel a part of a community because I was always traveling.” He and his partner, Louis Raymond, a garden designer, live in an antique colonial in Hopkinton and co-own Renaissance Gardening. When the opportunity at the Courthouse came up, Raymond told him, “Stop whining and take the job! It will be good for you and good for them.”

One of the first things Ericson plans to do is to reconfigure the old courtroom in which the shows are held in order to expand the seating to 200. That will allow for more affordable ticket prices, something he deems very important. “I love this building and we need to offer programs that are available to everyone,” he says. He envisions host-ing a broad range of shows, including comedy, dance and music in addition to live theater.

He would also like to see an integra-tion of disciplines during a show’s run. A run of Sunday in the Park with George could be paired with an exhibit of local Impressionist’s paintings and a picnic lunch. A play about Vogue editor Diana Vreeland could be accompanied by a fashion show by local designers and a retrospective of old Vogue magazine covers and patterns. “I think it enhances the entire experience,” Ericson says.

In addition to producing original art and distributing it “in whatever form it takes,” Ericson would like to reach out and collaborate with other theaters in Rhode Island. “I think the Gamm Theatre [in Pawtucket] is one of the best the-aters in Rhode Island,” he enthuses, “but so few people from here go see shows there.” He knows the South County rule about not driving past the Towers, so he would like The Gamm and other groups to bring their shows here.

As important as the show sched-ule will be, more important is getting the format, structure and teachers in place for the educational component. Along with classes and workshops in traditional arts, Ericson would like to add digital arts and musical theater classes for children. The goal is to have some-

thing for everyone. “Eating is an art, cooking is an art,” he says. “There are so many avenues for us to explore.” One of the first things he did was to hold a focus group of 60 community members, adults and children alike, to hear what it was that they wanted to see happening at the Courthouse. To serve the com-munity right, he figured, required finding out what it needed and wanted. There is a lot of work ahead to get a full sched-ule in place for January. “It will come together,” he maintains. “It has to.”

Janet Innis, the President of the Board of Directors of CCA is thrilled to have someone with such a wide range of pro-fessional experience come on board as Consulting Artistic Producer. “The Court-house Center for the Arts is a unique cultural resource in our state and having Richard involved will enhance the qual-ity and variety of productions and arts events for our audiences,” she says.

Although the fall will be quiet, the show(s) must go on. The first is a ben-efit/fundraiser planned for October 22-23. The show will be a cabaret based on music from Pippin. Brother Michael of LaSalle and Dante Sciarra, a veteran Broadway performer from Johnston, will help bring the best performers in the state to sing, including Tom Gleadow, who recently starred in Hairspray at Theatre By The Sea and Naysh Fox, a RIC theater major who appeared in Arlene Violet’s musical The Family ear-lier this summer. The other show on the schedule is the holiday showing of The SantaLand Diaries, a play based on the sardonic essays of David Sedaris about his actual experiences as one of Santa’s elves at Macy’s.

“One of the most exciting things about the arts is that you never know what’s going to happen,” says Ericson. Now that he’s in place at the Courthouse, he will have something he’s wanted all along: to be part of a community. And our community will be enriched with him in our midst.

It’s the time of year to get spooked. If you’re looking for a spine-chilling experience this fall, you need go no further than your own backyard. With a history rich in folklore, superstitions and some grisly deaths, Southern Rhode Island is full of creepy spots that will make this spooky season memorable.

Witches’ Altar and Druid-sdreamNorthwest corner of Hazard Avenue and Gibson Avenue, Narragansett

Walk a little into the woods off Gib-son Avenue in Narragansett and you will see a mystical circle of smooth, upright stones, ringed around what appears to be a central altar stone. The circle of stones bears little trace of wear and tear, some of them offering pools of rainwater in the smoothly carved depressions at their top. This unusual spot can become a place for rituals and spells with only a small amount of imagination.

This antemortem tomb of Joseph Peace Hazard, a member of one of the oldest and most eccentric fami-lies in South County, was erected in the early 1880s. An avid traveler, Haz-ard was fascinated by the Druids and

upon returning from a visit to Stone-henge in England, constructed a tomb and monument to his family, naming it Kendal Green. He named the nearby stone house Druidsdream. He placed an unusually curved stone a little way off from the circle, calling it “Druids Chair.”

Although Hazard is not buried at the spot and it was not intentionally constructed for ritual use, the mystique of the stones and their placement has prompted countless ghost stories and spine shivers for decades. Take a walk around the circle and it’s not hard to imagine what might have happened at this spot.

General Stanton Inn4115 Old Post Road, Charlestown

In 1655, Thomas Stanton, an inter-preter for Native American tribes, was given a parcel of land by a Nian-tic Sachem. After brokering a deal between warring tribes for the safe return of an Indian princess being held hostage, Stanton was rewarded for his efforts and moved his house onto the tract of land, using it as a schoolroom for Indian children as well as his own. The building remained in the Stanton family for the next 200

years, and grew from housing a dairy business to being a busy coach stop between Providence and New Lon-don and a haven for gamblers. Well-known figures in politics and high society frequented the inn, which continued to thrive even throughout the hard times of Prohibition.

It’s been said that some inhabit-ants from the inn’s colorful past continue to reside there. Visitors and guests have reported noises and strange sensations, as well as actual apparitions. The Washing-ton Room seems to be a hot spot, home to a male ghost who enjoys tapping people on the shoulder as they wander through. The inn was featured on the SciFi Channel show Ghost Hunters in 2007, and people continue to report experiences both at the inn and in the nearby General Stanton cemetery.

Tours are available, as well as over-night accommodation for the truly adventurous. Any spirits who linger on from the inn’s past have so far been mild-mannered, lighthearted-ly bringing the past into the pres-ent. The possibility of their presence makes a visit not only exciting, but educational as well.

The Grave of Mercy BrownChestnut Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, 467 Ten Rod Road (Route 102), Exeter

In 1892, a solemn group of Exeter vil-lagers assembled in the graveyard at Chestnut Hill Baptist Church. After exhuming the bodies of three women, the villagers, under the direction of a Dr. Harold Metcalf, cut into their chests and examined the hearts. They found what they deemed “fresh” blood in the corpse of Mercy Lena Brown, a 19-year-old who had recently succumbed to a “galloping” consumption. The villagers, including her father George T. Brown, proceeded to burn her heart on a near-by rock in order to administer the ashes mixed with water to her brother, Edwin.

This grisly story is evidence of the superstitious folk traditions that lived on in rural parts of Rhode Island nearly into the 20th century. The exhuma-tion was preceded by the deaths of Mercy’s mother and elder sister, both of tuberculosis, or consumption, as it was known. With his family members quickly taken from him in succession, George’s desperation and the fear that the illness would spread through the

community prompted him to turn to a folk remedy. An evil spirit was suspect-ed of residing in one of the corpses, maliciously draining the life from the remaining living family members. As Mercy may have been stored above ground in a nearby stone crypt, await-ing the spring thaw for burial, it’s possi-ble that her heart might have held liquid blood when she was finally disinterred by her father months after burial. While drinking the ashes of her heart didn’t save Edwin, who died shortly after, it did establish Mercy’s legacy as Rhode Island’s most famous vampire.

Today when you visit, you can see her grave, as well as those of her mother and sister, and the stone crypt in which her body may have been kept.

Look also for the nearby stone where Mercy’s heart was burned.

The Grave of William E. PeckhamOld Fernwood Cemetery, Route 138 near University of Rhode Island

The story goes that William Peck-ham (1860-1884) murdered his wife Nancy, whom he suspected of unfaithfulness. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. After his execution, new information revealed that he could not possibly of have killed her. Wrongfully accused and executed, the ghost of William waited for its chance.

In 1962, brothers of the Chi Phi fraternity at the University of Rhode Island went to William’s grave to hold a séance. Despite a strong wind, the flame of the candle they placed on the tombstone stood still and upright. As the séance began, one of the participants cried out loudly, shouting the name “Nancy” and cry-ing. After the ritual was over, the individual did not remember any-thing. Peckham’s ghost was said to

have followed him back to the fra-ternity house, and made its pres-ence known in the following weeks through loud noises and moved fur-niture. The ghost reportedly again used the same individual to cry out “No! No! Not anymore!” during an additional séance meant to banish it.

Although there are some discrep-ancies with the dates of William Peck-ham’s story (the last person reported executed in Rhode Island was killed 15 years before William was born), the promise of an otherworldly spirit has continued to lure people to URI’s campus. Remnants of candle wax in the grass by William’s grave are evi-dence of the continued interest in his story – and his ghost.

Most born in October know that their birthstone is Opal. However, tourmaline is also recognized as the birthstone of this month as adopted by the American

National Association of Jewelers in 1912.

A Tourmaline forms in many colors and no other gemstone can compete with the richness and depths of its varied colors. Ancient legend says that tourmaline is found in all colors because it travelled along a rainbow and gathered all the rainbow’s colors.

Some Tourmaline gems display more than one color simultaneously. Multi-colored ‘Watermelon Tourmaline’ is pink and green often with a white line delineating the two distinct colors. Tourmalines many colors are referred to by specific names. Pink to red or Ruby colors are called ‘Rubellite’. ‘Indicolite’ refers to all of the various shades of blue. ‘Schorl’ is an old mining term that specifies a black Tourmaline. However, tourmaline is also found in purple, lavender, yellow, and green verities.

Your Salon is Ouidad certified. Tell me about that. How did you come to spe-cialize in curly hair?I am the salon’s Ouidad certified styl-ist. Ouidad is a cutting technique and product line, developed by my aunt Ouidad. Having grown up in a family with curly haired people, I was natu-rally interested in this specialty, so I traveled to New York and learned the cutting technique and styling meth-ods to help curly haired people learn to love their hair. Even within your specialty, do you find that you need to deal with differ-ent hair in different ways?Every curly head of hair is differ-ent. That is what makes it so beau-tiful. Hair behaves according to its texture. The method used for kinky curls is the “carving” method, which carves along the curls, eliminating the triangular stacking effect. The method for wavy hair is the “slicing” technique, which slices along the curl pattern, allowing the wavy curls to bounce up as opposed to weigh-ing themselves down. The result of each technique is that the curls fit together like a puzzle.

How do you avoid crunchy, hard curls without having tons of frizz?Ouidad is all about movement and body; she does not believe in crunchy,

stiff curls. Her product line is moistur-izing and lightweight. The moisturizing compounds feed water to the dehydrat-ed curls that create frizz, while the light-weight components allow the hair to move naturally without drying crunchy.

What about people with wavy hair? How do you amp up their curls?I would use the “Slicing” technique; this allows the curls to fit together nicely. Then it is all about styling. I would style their curls with the prod-uct Tress Effects. This product actually has memory lock elements that when styled with a diffuser or crunched with a damp towel (never with your hands) remembers and locks in the curl pattern created, giving your hair amped up curls.

What else does the salon offer? Do you only see curly haired clients?We are a full-service salon. I am also certified in Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, Feather Exten-sions, color, highlights, makeup and hair for all occasions. In addition to me, Your Salon features our owner/styl-ist James Hannigan, along with styl-ists Kelli and Diana and nail tech Jes-sica, all with their unique talents.

So Stylish | What’s In Store

Searching for that one-of-a-kind, memorable gift for a loved one does not have to be a difficult pursuit. With the inventive designs of over 50 lo-cal artisans, Waves of Creation in Wake-field houses a copious collection of jew-elry, photography, glasswork, woodwork and everything in between.

Besides the slew of artwork from Rhode Island designers (and a few from Massachusetts and Connecticut), the shop also sells art supplies for inspired shoppers to create their own original crafts. Fair trade products are also being incorporated into the store in an effort to support local businesses.

The shop’s new site, just a few blocks down the street from its original loca-tion, has provided the space for a large studio, where owner Laura Winward and other local artists host art classes and other community-based events. Candle-making, soap-making and mo-saics classes are offered every month in the studio, and based on the availabil-ity of artists, other classes, like jewelry-making, card-making and polymers are offered. In the near future, Winward hopes to incorporate more art-based classes, such as watercolor, drawing and oil. At given times, the studio is avail-able for pottery painting, in which par-ticipants can choose between ceramics and acrylics. Aside from classes, Waves of Creation also hosts birthday parties, ladies nights, corporate team build-ing, private shopping parties and other

gatherings. The shop provides the ven-ue and the instructor, and you bring the guests, food and drink.

A craft lover for years, Winward recalls hand-making ceramics with her mother when she was around eight years old. In the last 12 years, after discovering her in-terest in the products at a craft show, she has actively created bath and body prod-ucts, soap and candles. “I did research, made my first batch, got hooked, and it has been a long journey since then,” she recalls. Her distinctive collection of hand-made bath and body products is avail-able in the store.

Winward opened Waves of Creation almost three years ago with encourage-ment from friends from Ocean State Artisans, of which she is a member. She began with the artwork of only 15 or so designers, but it wasn’t long before oth-ers heard about the store and wanted to be a part of it. Winward also occasionally approaches designers that she encoun-ters at craft shows about selling in the store. She currently participates in large craft shows, like the Scituate Art Festival and the Big E, and sometimes smaller lo-cal shows and fundraisers.

As the market for one-of-a-kind, lo-cally produced gifts grows, Winward proudly supports other artisan-based shops and receives that cooperation in return. “We don’t see each other as com-petition, we see each other as support,” she explains. 271 Main Street, Wakefield. 284-3844, www.wavesgifts.comP

So Stylish | Life/Style By Andrea E. McHugh

Scores of Rhode Islanders have turned to designer Kim Norton-O’Brien, principal of North Kings-town-based Norton-O’Brien Design, to reinvent their interior spaces. So when it was time for the designer and her family to tackle a renovation and redesign in their own home, the possibilities seemed endless. Fifteen years of experience plus a blank canvas let the designer make that long-edited wish list a reality. “It’s totally different because you don’t have to consult with anybody,” she says. The construction for the kitch-en and bathroom renovation was completed just over a year ago, after the family had already lived in the home seven years and re-evaluated their needs.

Nestled in a charming coastal en-clave in North Kingstown, Norton-O’Brien’s Wickford Point neigh-borhood boasts 81 acres of single family homes built to resemble what a modern day Nantucket fishing village might look like. Charming street lamps illuminate the welcom-ing brick sidewalks and manicured lawns are found throughout. At the end of Norton-O’Brien’s street is an expansive park that gives way to peaceful views of Fishing Cove, ad-jacent to Wickford Harbor. “We basi-

cally bought the house because of the neighborhood,” she says. “We’re really lucky; we are about 100-yards from Narragansett Bay.”

Though the neighborhood, schools and location were ideal, the interior and layout of the home, built in 1997, left much to be desired. “The old design of the kitchen had pan-eled walls with wood and a gas burn-ing fireplace with fake wood logs. I mean, it was very rustic, which was odd, and had peach walls to go with it, which was very interesting, but the people loved it and that’s okay,” Norton-O’Brien explains.

What confused her was that noth-ing inside the home paid homage to its unique and enviable coastal en-virons. Though she doesn’t neces-sarily like overly nautical-design, as there is a fine line between coastal and kitschy (“I didn’t want it to be rope-accented everything,” she laughs), the designer knows that in most cases an interior gives a nod to its surrounding environment.

Their biggest challenge was in the kitchen, which for a young fam-ily (the Norton-O’Briens have two children, eight and six) is easily the most used space in the home. “The kitchen was… odd. That’s the best way to put it. The way that they had

it laid out originally, it was nice. It had all the accoutrements: the dou-ble oven, extra sink, all those things – the fancy things.” But its unique T-shaped layout wasted valueable space and made poor use of existing square footage. “From the first time we opened the refrigerator with my husband standing there, it was like, ‘Okay, we need to do something about this,’” she recalls.

The kitchen’s architecture, Nor-ton-O’Brien says, simply didn’t make much sense. “There was a closet, a pantry, a door to the garage, the back door – basically four large doors in a row and that just drove me crazy. Why all the doors?” she laughs. “I knew I wanted to get rid of the back door that just went out into the driveway. Once I decided that, everything else went quickly, so I was able to create a version of that traditional work triangle with-out too much trouble.”

They brought the kitchen down to the studs and reconfigured the space to not only be beautiful, but functional. Sometimes that means compromising on first choices. For example, Norton-O’Brien adores marble, but with a young family (read: spaghetti sauce), it is sim-ply an impractical surface. “It’s the

most unforgiving,” she says. “You really have to decide that it’s fine if it gets completely trashed in liter-ally the first three months, or you just don’t cook; you showcase your lovely kitchen, then just walk away.” Instead, she chose a granite (the “White River” design, specifically), which invokes a marble look but also has subtle hues. “This worked out perfectly because it has some blue in it which picks up the wall color. I love it still,” she notes.

Norton-O’Brien said beyond re-tailers, she looked to distributors and the internet to find the perfect slab. The internet also served her well when it came to finding glass stick tiles at an affordable price. “I

looked everywhere locally,” she ex-plains. “I saw some tiles that were as much as $160/square foot, which is crazy. I got a super deal. You just have to be willing to look. There are great products out there for very little money.” She invokes the same policy when designing her clients’ homes as well. “I don’t want people to spend more than they have to; there’s absolutely no point.”

Through the paint samples, tile searches and finding the perfect fur-nishings, Norton-O’Brien is thrilled with the end result. Gazing at the space, she says, “I’m really, really happy with how this turned out.” For more on the designer, visit www.nor-tonobriendesign.com.

Quick! Before the dough runs out, get down to La Strada Café and Pizzeria in Matunuck. That can easily happen with all the locals stopping in regularly for La Strada’s specialty pizzas. They are posi-tively addictive. When asked what hours they are open, the staffers always say, “Until we run out of dough.”

Pizza is all you get at La Strada. It’s the only food offered on the restaurant’s printed menu. The blackboard might list a couple of salads, and sometimes that ubiquitous Italian dessert tiramisu is avail-able. But most customers aren’t there to eat healthy or to satisfy their sweet tooth. They are hooked on the pizza and in need of a fix.

This is a humble, no-frills restaurant with a smattering of tables and chairs in-side and a counter where customers line up to place their orders. Large picture windows offer views of the outdoor piz-za oven and the sunset. Most folks pre-fer to eat outside where the mismatched outdoor furniture and picnic tables are in high demand. That’s where the show takes place: the making of the pizzas in a copper-clad wood-fired oven. The large, dome-shaped oven is positioned on a trailer rig so it can be hauled away ev-ery night and stored in a local garage for safekeeping. La Strada, which is Italian for “the road,” started out last year as a mobile pizza business for catered parties and corporate events. Their new brick-and-mortar location in Matunuck offers fans some hope that La Strada may re-main open year round.

The co-owners are an interesting pair. Nick Schneider comes from pizza roy-alty (his father used to own Fellini’s in Providence). He divides his time between

Matunuck and New York City, where he is a firefighter. Jenny Olbrich is a serious athlete, specializing in rowing and biking. They are both committed to “keeping it local” by using ingredients including Nar-ragansett Creamery cheeses and fresh produce from Carpenter’s Farm.

Their wood-fired oven can only ac-commodate 12-inch pizzas, so 18-inch versions are made inside the restaurant in gas ovens. We were a gang of 10 people, from tots to senior citizens, and we tried and liked both types. Most of us felt the wood-fired pizzas, with their smoky fla-vor and slightly charred crust, were supe-rior. With the wood burning at 800+ de-grees, the pizzas cook in a minute and a half. It’s fun to watch the youthful kitchen crew tossing pizza dough into the air to stretch it into shape, and then slide the pies in and out of the oven on large pizza peels. Three-year-old Michael was fasci-nated with the process.

Our many pizzas started landing on our long table, with the Carpenter up first. Named after the nearby Carpen-ter’s Farm, this pizza was topped with that farm’s beef sausage, spinach, moz-zarella, San Marzano tomato sauce and caramelized Vidalia onions. Lots of good stuff was going on here – the sausage was flavorful, and the onions were sweet. Whenever I see San Marzano tomatoes on a menu, I know that someone in the kitchen really knows what they’re doing. Most chefs will say that San Marzano are the best tomatoes in the world.

Ben, who can be a grumpy teenager at times, was so impressed with this partic-ular pizza that he stopped texting. Now that speaks volumes.

Next, we had probably the most radi-

cal pizza on the menu: the Notorious F.I.G. A classic study of less being more, this pizza was dotted with slices of Italian soppressata, Black Mission figs, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, with a sprinkling of coarse black pepper. This was my fa-vorite, with its salty and sweet flavors and soft and then chewy textures.

The older Michael at our table (father to the tot named Michael) liked the wood-fired fig pizza the most, but he noted that every pizza we sampled was good and that their common denominator was the delicious tomato sauce, which is also available for sale. He had high praise for the quirky staff and the ambiance of this seaside pizza shack with its open doors and windows that allowed an ocean breeze to keep us cool.

Michael’s wife, Karen, liked that La Strada was so kid friendly. It was easy for her to watch her younger children play-ing outside while we waited for our food to arrive. She preferred the pizza from the gas oven, admitting that she liked “boring” pizza. She too loved the sauce and the “super nice” staff who made her feel welcome without being invasive. Next time, she said, we should sit outside later in the evening so we can enjoy the atmosphere.

Of course, Brian the traditionalist had to have his Pepperoni pizza, a simple pie topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and thinly sliced pep-peroni.

The Margherita is pizza at its most ba-sic level, and many experts say this clas-sic pie has no rivals. A peasant pie in Italy, it was created in honor of that nation’s

19th-century queen Margherita, who adored the simple combination of vine-ripe tomatoes, fresh shredded mozzarel-la cheese, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and fine olive oil, all on a puffy, golden brown crust. With a garnish of fresh basil, this pizza offers the red, white and green colors of the Italian flag.

The 12-inch wood-fired pizzas cost between $12 and $16. The 18-inch piz-zas baked in the gas oven are priced be-tween $14 and $20.

La Strada was recently granted a li-cense to sell beer and wine, which al-lowed me to sip on a crisp Pinot Grigio in between bites of pizza. Everyone else at our table ordered Cokes, which are in glass bottles at La Strada. Wines are served in clear plastic cups. Plain white paper plates are passed out when the pizzas arrive at a table. It may be a no-frills restaurant, but it’s a dining experi-ence unlike any other.

Just when you thought you’d heard it all, someone comes up with a new twist on dining out – in this case, a pretzel twist. The Malted Barley at 42 High Street in downtown Westerly is an upscale beer bar with 35 craft beers and a menu of gourmet pretzels.

The optimistic owners are a young couple, Colin and Stephanie Bennett, who both have experience in the restaurant business and brewing industry. They met while working at a brewery in Honolulu, and eventually returned to Stephanie’s hometown to open their labor of love. The Malted Barley has 62 seats plus a 16-seat patio along the Pawcatuck River.

The very affordable menu honors the soft pretzels, offering them as savory ap-petizers ($3 to $6), as sandwiches ($8) and in desserts ($4 to $5). For starters, the pretzels come simply salted or fla-vored with asiago and parmesan chees-es, jalapeno and cheddar or mozzarella and tomato with pesto on the side. Dip-ping sauces are also available, from a warm blue cheese to a spicy brown beer mustard to an aromatic apricot butter. The pretzel sandwiches feature turkey and havarti, roast beef and goat cheese with sliced pears and arugula, served with seasoned kettle chips. You can cap off a meal with a sugar and cinnamon pretzel or a waffle pretzel with Nutella and ice cream.

In addition to micro-brews, they of-fer 30 domestic and imported bottled beers as well as beer flights and beer by the barrel. Instead of a pitcher, you get a pour-it-yourself barrel for your table. If a trendy craft beer is not your thing, you can order cocktails or wine. The Malted Barley is open Wednesday through Mon-day from 3pm to 1am. Call 315-2184 for more info.

HOW SWEDE IT ISNancy Swanson and Patti Reslow are using the state-certified kitchen at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Greenwich for six months to see if there is a market for Swedish coffee bread and other baked goods. The women say they will be doing their baking on what was once known as Swede Hill. They plan to donate some of their product to the church’s food pantry. NYLO REOPENSRhode Island’s unique loft-style hotel in

Warwick, NYLO, has reopened after more than a year of reconstruction to the first floor that was damaged by the historic floods in March 2010. The Loft, a stylish bar and restaurant, is part of the major renovation. Serving modern American cuisine in a casual setting, The Loft, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, has a new chef and a new menu.

Nicholas Dadona is now the chef de cuisine. Previously, he worked at Eleven Forty Nine in Warwick and Meritage in East Greenwich. His new menu offers creative regional dishes with bold fla-vors. The Crispy Calamari ($9) is tossed with a choice of balsamic reduction or ginger-garlic butter. No ordinary burger, the NYLO Burger ($14) features grilled onions, smoked bacon, roasted garlic aioli and jack cheese with hand-cut fries. The Overnight Braised Beef Ravioli ($20) stars a cremini mushroom and sherry pan sauce, truffle oil and shaved asiago cheese. The ever-evolving menu is built on farm freshness using seasonal ingre-dients from local growers and purveyors.

For a glimpse of the entire menu, visit www.nylohotels.com/warwick. The kitchen is open until 10pm during the week and midnight on Fridays and Sat-urdays. Reservations are recommended (call 734-4460), and walk-ins are always welcome. Make sure you check out what the restaurant staff is wearing: their entire wardrobe was designed by Daniel Voso-vic, a star of Project Runway.

FALL INTO FALLSadly, it’s time to close up our little house near Scarborough Beach in Nar-ragansett. But there are plenty of fall

activities to keep us busy. Newport Gourmet Tours has added a

chef-led walking tour of Broadway to its schedule. Every Thursday from 2-4pm, the tour makes its way up Broadway with a half-dozen stops at gourmet shops, restaurants and hotel kitchens. Participants sample food or a bever-age at each location with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the culinary world and a chance to meet chefs. The tour begins at the White Horse Tavern and proceeds to Donick’s Ice Cream for savory ice cream, then it’s on to Pour Judgement for a Thomas Tew rum tasting, Pan Han-dler’s gourmet shop, The Fifth Element, Mad Hatter Bakery and finally Perro Sal-ado. The original Newport Gourmet Tour explores Bellevue Avenue. Tickets are $45 per person for either tour and can be purchased at www.newportgourmet-tours.com. Questions? Call 787-4058.

Try 20 different Oktoberfest and Pumpkin brews at Mews Tavern (456 Main Street) in Wakefield. Every Wednesday is pint night: buy a fea-tured beer and get a free pint glass.

The 10th annual Harvest Festival at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington, Connecticut, is set for October 1 and 2, from noon to 6pm. Gourmet food vendors, live music, a grape-stomping contest, hayrides, an artisans’ tent and, of course, wine tastings will be offered. For details, call 860-535-0202, or visit www.jed-wardswinery.com.

Meet Clark… part of The Seasons family.

Hi My name is Clark and I am 7 years old. Until recently, I was roaming the streets of

Ohio. A concerned citizen found me and contacted the Save A Lab Rescue which found a temporary home for me with a loving foster family in Rhode Island. My family interviewed many who wanted to adopt me, including The Seasons assisted living community in East Greenwich, which had been searching for just the right dog for the past 6 months. You see, in September, 2010, their adored black lab Boomer, had passed away from cancer leaving quite a void in the lives of the residents and staff.

Arrangements were made for me to visit The Seasons. When I walked through the front door I knew this would be my new home. Residents and staff were so welcoming. Lots of smiling faces and lots of beautiful, spacious common areas and outside grounds for me to explore. I was sold! So I moved into The Seasons in May and I couldn’t be happier or better cared for. I am now part of a large, loving family. I invite you to stop by and meet me. I’ll be the one with some gray around my snout and a wagging tail.

October 22-23When Roger Williams happened to pop by the Native American com-munity for dinner, no one scolded him for not giving any advance no-tice so they could go to the grocery store. Nope. Steaming hot fresh deer meat or not, they were graciously prepared. The Natives stocked their pantry with ground corn, created by rubbing it between two flat stones. Mix in a little water and presto, a fill-ing, readymade meal, literally. Go ahead and give thanks to the original convenience food at the Johnycake Festival, showcasing diverse harvest goods from over 75 vendors, live music and storytelling. You can also tour the mill, responsible since 1886 at its current location, but dating to 1696, for producing this staple, using traditional methods that maintain the nutritional integrity of the grain. 10am-5pm. $2, free ages 5 and un-der.

Behind the Scenes

October 22-23: Oh, Hollywood. You’ve done a number on how the art world is perceived by the general public. The sterile formal gallery. The high-brow collector. The pristine work-space. Newsflash: artists are completely human. You can use the West Bay Open Studios as an opportunity to prove this to yourself. Granted, the amount of talent exhibited by these paint-ers, potters, ceramists and many more inside the workspaces of 22 of the finest artists in this neck of the woods may be a tad intimidating. But look around you for signs of the mortal, like an empty coffee cup, a half eaten sandwich or some junk mail piling up. When you see them, there’s no need to name names. Just smile, knowing it’s all part of the creative process. 11am-5pm. Free. Locations in North Kingstown, East Greenwich and Warwick. Get map online. 714-5328, www.westbayopenstudios.com

Been awhile since your last toga party? No need to start draping sheets. Just make haste to the Granite Theatre in Westerly and see A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. This musical comedy cracks up audi-ences as much today as it did back in 1962, when it debuted on Broadway. In fact, similar storylines have tick-led funny bones for over 2000 years. Writers Larry Gelbart (creator of TV’s M*A*S*H) and Burt Shevelove (a Brown grad) drew inspiration from the works of Plautus, an ancient Roman play-wright known for his irreverent farces and now-classic characters.

Forum revolves around Pseudo-lus, an enterprising slave. His young master, Hero, loves the girl next door and wishes to woo her. Hero prom-ises Pseudolus freedom if he can win him the favor of this virginal vixen. The slave’s task proves difficult when the gal turns out to be a courtesan in training, already sold to a wealthy captain. All manner of hilarity and hi-jinks, lies and disguises ensue. To re-ally knock you off your sandaled feet, the show boasts clever lyrics and catchy music by master composer Stephen Sondheim.

Granite’s artistic director, David Je-pson, helms the production. He first directed the play 13 years ago at City Nights Dinner Theatre in Pawtucket, to great success. Though a veteran performer with over 100 shows under his belt, Jepson won’t be acting in this one. He notes, “I can do that in some of the smaller shows, but when you’re moving about 18 people around on-stage, you really have to stay in front.”

Some of the players, however, take on double duty. Musical director Diana Blanda also plays Domina, a shrew-ish wife. Choreographer Lisa Clough sashays onstage as a courtesan. And Jepson’s wife Beth, the stage man-ager, creates many of the costumes with Rochelle Weinrauch, who plays the virgin.

Jepson cast the show a few months ago, at which point the part of Pseu-dolus gave him some trouble. With auditions winding down, he still hadn’t found his leading man. Enter Larry Wilson, a member of the Mashantuck-

et Pequot tribe, who stopped by dur-ing the last 20 minutes and sat quietly in the back of the house. He had come out of curiosity and wasn’t sure if he’d try out, not having acted since his col-lege days. Jepson spotted him and encouraged him to step right up. To his delight, Wilson’s voice was terrific. Even better, as Jepson recalls, “He had a different flair and a knowledge and understanding of the humor that was needed for the show.”

As the opening song “Comedy To-night” promises, Forum features “old situations, new complications, nothing portentous or polite.” Jepson believes it has universal appeal, even for those who think they don’t like musicals. The slapstick, vaudevillian style of the play is new to some of the younger cast members, but Jepson reports, “The actors are having a great deal of fun with it. It’s a show that lends itself to adding a lot of comic detail.” With loads of physical comedy and jokes requiring rapid-fire delivery, he notes, “The cast will definitely be exhausted by the end.”

The Granite Theatre is housed in a restored Greek Revival church, but the

design for this play, Jepson says, will appear “whimsically Roman.” Due to the relatively small size of the stage and the lack of wing space, Jepson of-ten looks for dramas with single sets. Forum fits the bill, with an exterior view of three neighboring buildings providing the backdrop. Even still, he finds his main challenge in directing the show is to keep the large cast from bumping into one another. Of course, with a comedy like this, a few bumps only add to the laughter. So hitch up the chariot and high tail it down to Fo-rum. You don’t want to miss any of the funny things about to happen.

Trattoria SimpaticoTrattoria Simpatico opened its doors in 1993. Over 17 years, proprietor Phylis Bedard has dedicated countless hours to establish-ing an enjoyable, casual and welcoming atmosphere for her patrons. This is accomplished with an outstanding and professional wait staff, warm and inviting ambiance and an innovative menu.

As one of Jamestown’s most renowned restaurants, Trattoria Sim-patico is the perfect setting for a romantic evening out or just an intimate dinner with close friends and family. You can enjoy outdoor seating all year round courtesy of the heated tent area, or take your pick of the elegant dining room and the lovely garden room. This is also a popular spot for parties, wedding receptions and bridal show-ers. One happy father of the bride said, “My daughter’s wedding re-ception was perfect — the ambiance beautiful, the bar service effi-cient, and the food outstanding. I was particularly impressed with the friendly yet highly professional staff. It was a pleasure to work with Phyllis in planning the reception and the wedding service itself.”

Executive Chef Chris Carruba creates a luscious menu using lo-cal and natural ingredients. Many of the items on the menu are farm fresh, including various all natural meats. Calamari has never looked so good mixed with prosciutto, hot peppers, capicola, Peppadews, Nicoise olives and red onion topped off with white balsamic vinai-grette, and that is just one of the many delicious appetizers to choose from. Entrees range from $12-36, or you can always inquire about the three- and five-course chef’s menu, available only to a full dining table. You can end your meal with some mouth watering desserts such as summer berry romanoff, cheesecake purses, chocolate sushi or even the classic and delectable tiramisu.

Trattoria Simpatico opens its doors at 5pm every afternoon for dinner, and you can also head over for lunch on the weekends (and certain holidays) starting at noon. If you’re looking to unwind after a long day of work, you can take a seat at the bar, open at 3:30pm for drinks and appetizers. Throughout the fall you can also look forward to live music from some of the areas best musicians. Noted as one of Rhode Island’s best for al fresco dining, you will not be disappointed with the rich menu, phenomenal service and general atmosphere of Trattoria Simpatico.

This pie, adorned with sugar cookies, was our favorite of the bunch. The spices were well balanced, with just the right hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, and possibly even a little ginger. The texture was excellent, and the crust held its own while still let-ting the pumpkin be the star of the show. 47 Railroad Avenue, Westerly. 348-7055

“You can taste the homemade love,” proclaimed one taster. The pumpkin fla-vor was robust despite the lightness of the filling, and the flaky crust was just right. 322 Matunuck Beach Road, Wake-field. 783-8958, www.carpentersfarm.org

The mellow flavor was perked up a bit by nice bit of spice, in particular, nutmeg. The custard-like texture made us think this would probably be a good one to eat chilled from the fridge the next morning – and who doesn’t love pie for breakfast? 1 Arnold Place, Exeter. 294-2044, www.schartnerfarms.com

This pie was heavy on the spice, with a nice, crispy caramelization on top. De-spite the pronounced spice, this one wasn’t too sweet, and let the more natu-ral flavor of the pumpkin shine through. Locations in East Greenwich, North Kingstown, Wickford and Coventry. www.davesmarketplace.com

Flavor of the Month

So Approved By John Taraborelli

We love pumpkin – all things pumpkin.

Pumpkin coffee. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin

soup. Even pumpkin beer. It’s our favorite

flavor of the season. So it only seemed natu-

ral to greet October with a hearty slice of

pumpkin pie. We tried a few from around

South County and bring you a taste of this

year’s harvest.
