Newport Says 'No' to Casino

By Katherine ImbrieNature lovers have more to

love on Aquidneck Island since the official opening on Friday, Oct. 26 of a new five-mile section of the Sakonnet Greenway Trail, making it the longest public trail on the island.

Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee joined Department of Environmental Management di-rector Janet Coit and Aquidneck Land Trust executive director Ted Clement at the trail open-ing event, which was held at the Wyatt Road soccer complex in Middletown. Following opening remarks, officials led a group of members of the public on a short walk on the new trail segment, ending at Newport Vineyards, where refreshments were served.

The new trail segment is entire-ly located on the western side of Mitchell’s Lane in Middletown. It connects to the previously opened five-mile segment of the trail that runs from The Glen in Portsmouth south to the Newport National Golf Course land on the east side of Mitchell’s Lane. The new addi-tion to the existing trail makes the entire trail about ten miles long, the longest on the island.

The opening of the trail is the culmination of some ten years of work by the Land Trust with land-owners to secure 11 trail ease-ments necessary to create the trail. The landowners are: F. James Hodges and Sheila H. Hodges; Newport National Golf Club; New-port Vineyards; The Pennfield

School; Town of Middletown; Town of Portsmouth; and the van Beuren family.

Funds to create the trail came from many donors, many of whom donated $20,000 or more to the project, according to the Land Trust. Those donors include BankNewport; Hope Goddard Is-elin Foundation; Kathy and Pierre Irving; James and Susan Klau; The Nature Conservancy through a grant from The Champlin Foun-dations; Newport County Fund of the Rhode Island Foundation; Newport Harbor Corporation; Newport National Golf Course; Li-sette Prince; Tiffany & Co. Founda-tion; and the van Beuren Charita-ble Foundation.

According to the Land Trust, the Sakonnet Greenway Trail is intended as a living classroom where students, teachers and the general public can directly experi-ence, learn about and bond with nature. Various age-appropriate lesson plans, developed in co-operation with Salve Regina Uni-versity, have been distributed to schools on Aquidneck Island to encourage students and teachers to experience the trail.

The Sakonnet Greenway Trail is the largest pedestrian corridor connecting multiple municipali-ties on Aquidneck Island. Ports-mouth's main public recreation area, The Glen, is now connected via the trail to Middletown's large public recreation area/soccer complex on Wyatt Road. The trail is also an important resource for

leashed pets. Equestrian riding is allowed on certain sections of the Sakonnet Greenway Trail. It also serves as a valuable wildlife habi-tat corridor.

Since its founding in 1990, the Land Trust it has conserved 2,415 acres on 67 properties. It's the first land trust in Rhode Island to have received national accreditation.

New Trail Segment opens on Sakonnet Greenway

A new five-mile segment has been added to the Sakonnet Greenway Trail.

By Tom ShevlinJeanne-Marie Napolitano seems

to have a knack for getting out the vote. The former mayor and long-time councilwoman has for the fourth time in a row secured the most number of votes in the city's race for its four At-Large council seats.

However, with a strong showing of his own and a productive – albeit brief – tenure as mayor, Councilor Henry F. Winthrop appears likely to retain the city's top elected post.

According to the city's Canvass-ing Office, Napolitano once again topped this year's field, earning 4,869 votes, with Winthrop a close a second at 4,739.

Rounding out the top four spots were Councilwoman Naomi L. Nev-ille, who was just 50 votes shy of the number two spot with 4,689 voters, and challenger Michael T. Farley with 3,789.

Political newcomer Donald P. Boucher fell short in his first bid for elected office, earning 2,715 votes.

Things turned out differently, however, for first-time candidate Marco T. Camacho, who unseated incumbent Charles Y. Duncan in the race to represent the city's First Ward. Theirs was the only contest-

This LandThis land that you are walking on has a rich history and many conservation values. After being used by the Wampanoags and Narragansetts, it was farmed by colonial farmers from the Samuel Wilbore family. Later, it became part of the gentlemen’s farms tradition in Portsmouth that began in earnest in the late 1880s. For example, the land was part of the Vanderbilt’s Sandy Point Farm and later the Taylor family’s Glen Farm. In 1965, the Silvia family purchased the land primarily for their potato farming operations. This family from the Azores valued their new found home in America, so in 2000 the Silvia family sold the family farm corporation that owned the land to the Aquidneck Land Trust so that the land could be conserved for the lasting benefit of the community. Later, in 2004, the Aquidneck Land Trust partnered with the Town of Portsmouth and conveyed ownership of the land to the Town while the Land Trust retained a perpetual Conservation Easement on it to ensure the land would remain open space providing various conservation values to the community such as agricultural values, outdoor recreation opportunities, wildlife habitat, and beautiful scenic vistas. The Aquidneck Land Trust thanks the Silvia family and the Town of Portsmouth for helping us permanently protect this rich land that you are walking on.

By Tom ShevlinVoters in Newport dashed the

hopes of casino advocates who had hoped to install table games at Newport Grand.

In a decisive vote, Newport resi-dents voted 54-45 percent to reject a ballot question that would have given local approval to convert Newport Grand into a full-scale ca-sino.

Newport Grand CEO Diane Hur-ley was out working the polls ear-lier in the day, hoping to stress the dire challenge her operation faces from planned casinos in Massachu-setts. One study cited by Hurley has suggested that Newport Grand could cease to exist within the next five years, leaving a potential $1 million hole in the city's annual op-erating budget.

But voters, fearing the introduc-tion of a full-scale casino to the city, opted against the proposal.

bike Group Gets Grant

By Katherine ImbrieBike Newport – the organization

founded in 2011 to improve condi-tions for bicyclists in the city – has received a grant from the van Beur-en Charitable Foundation which will support the organization’s staff, operating expenses, and program. The Foundation has awarded Bike Newport an initial grant of $75,000, which will be followed by two more grants totalling $100,000, depen-dent on the organization matching them from other sources. Of those amounts, $80,000 will pay an annu-al salary for Bike Newport’s founder, Bari George, as its new executive di-rector.

“This grant is an enormous vote of confidence for a lot of progress in a short period of time,” said George. “It’s a vote of support for the col-laboration of city, schools, police, business and the tourism industry that is at the heart of every success to date.”

The grant also has enabled Bike Newport to open an office on Bow-en’s Wharf as one member of the new “Change Place” nonprofit office cooperative in Seamen’s Church In-stitute. (Other members with offic-es there include Sustainable Aquid-neck and Ocean State Fresh.)

Among the projects that Bike Newport has recently taken on in order to make Newport more “bi-cycle friendly” is making Memo-rial Boulevard safer for bicyclists by striping new lanes identifying where cars and bicycles are to trav-el. “This project has been delayed by a couple of storms, but is im-minent,” says George. “The road is prepped and the signs are up but covered right now.”

A recent strategy session held by Bike Newport was attended by 30 local citizens and community leaders. “There’s a lot to do to ac-complish bicycle friendliness,” said Deanna Casey, Acting Board Chair for the organization. “If we want to encourage people to choose cy-cling for transportation, they have to first feel safe and confident on the roads. That means working with the city, the police, local businesses and the media.”

Among Bike Newport’s long-term goals is the creation of an Aquidneck Island bike path along the west side of the island, a goal shared by the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission. Tina Dolen, Executive Director of the commis-sion, said, “The long range goal is to establish the regional Shoreline Bikeway on the West Side, and Bike Newport is a key supporter in that effort.”

‘Saplings & Spirits’ Raises Funds to Save Trees

The Newport Tree Society held its annual Saplings & Spirits fund-raiser cocktail reception on Thursday, Oct. 18 at Bellevue House on Bellevue Avenue. Built in 1910, the house sits on a property that boasts more than 17 species of trees, making it the perfect place to honor the nonprofit Society’s commitment to protect and preserve the city’s great wealth of trees. Among the species of trees that the So-ciety is particularly concerned about is the Copper Beech, which is in serious decline following a long “gilded age” in Newport. Three majes-tic Copper Beeches, including the 2011 Tree of the Year, are slated for removal from Aquidneck Park. On a happier note, this year the Soci-ety completed a professional inventory and assessment of Newport’s public street trees that had not been done since 1982.

mankofsky to Serve out Crowley Term

By Jonathan ClancyAt its regular meeting on Mon-

day, Nov. 5, the Middletown Town Council appointed Paul Mankofsky to the position of School Commit-tee Chairman by a vote of 5 to 0. Council President Arthur Weber re-cused himself from the vote due to a family relation to one candidate, Henry Lombardi. Councilor Ed Sil-veria was not present for the vote or the interviews held on Thursday, Nov. 1. The other candidates who were interviewed by the Council on Thursday were Francis Forgue, Vin-cent Giuliano, and Timothy Brown. Brown received a nomination on Monday night from councilor Rich-ard Cambra. But after hearing more words in favor of Mankofsky from Councilor Bruce Long, Cambra vot-ed for Mankofsky. Mankofsky will serve the remaining two-year term for former chairman Michael Crow-ley Jr., who died in August.

“There were five excellent candi-dates. I found this choice very diffi-cult to make,” said Councilor Chris Semonelli on Monday. Semonelli said that the decision came down to a skill set that Mankofsky dem-onstrated he had, his experience with work-study programs, and his stance on expenditures.

The Council also voted to ap-ply for a grant under the state De-partment of Environmental Man-agement Recreational Trails Grant Program. The grant requires a 20% local match, for which in-kind ser-vices qualify, and each application is not to exceed $100,000.

Middletown will be applying for two grants. An application for the Paradise Valley Park is a grant re-quest for $53,360, requiring a local match of $13,340. It would cover evaluation of the land, engineering and design, trail construction, stone wall rehabilitation, and interpretive signage. The other application for Kempenaar Valley is a grant request for $100,000 requiring a local match of $25,000. This money would go toward the design and construc-tion of approximately 1,600 linear feet of low-impact walking trails, trailhead parking, interpretive sig-nage, maps, and potential off-road trail connections to town facilities and landmarks.

Also at the meeting, discussion on the issue of additional stop signs was postponed until the sched-uled meeting on Dec. 3. One stop sign would potentially be placed in front of 26 Wood Road near the Ridgewood Road intersection. An-other potential 4-way stop sign at the intersection of Wolcott Avenue and Reservoir Road will also be dis-cussed at the meeting. Middletown resident Alexis Markowski had con-tacted the police department with concerns about the intersection needing a 4-way stop, stating that there is a crosswalk, and it is used as a school bus stop. Part of the Council’s discussion will concern a hedge that, according to an assess-ment by police officer Joshua Mello, obstructs the view of the crosswalk by cars traveling west on Reservoir Road.

opposition and 3,722 in favor, came after months of debate and a ro-bust public relations effort by both sides of the issue.

It also flew in the face of state-wide sentiment.

According to the state Board of Elections, in communities outside of Newport voters handily gave their approval to the proposal by a 66-33 percent margin. A major-ity of City Council candidates had also expressed their support for the measure, as had Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed.

And in Lincoln, voters there over-whelming approved a local ref-erendum in that town to convert the Twin River slot parlor into a full scale gambling venue.

"Well, of course I was very pleased with the vote," said Fr. Gene McKen-na, president of Citizens Concerned About Casino Gaming. "Our com-mittee has been working very hard for many years to keep casinos out of the state. We're sorry we lost in Lincoln, but we're happy with the results in Newport."

Asked if voters might expect to see a referendum revisiting the is-sue of gambling in Newport in a fu-ture election, McKenna said that he was hopeful the topic might finally be laid to rest.

"Over the years, we've always said 'They'll be back.' But this is the third referendum we've had in Newport."

In his opinion, Tuesday's vote amounts to a third strike in base-ball. "Three strikes and you're out," he said, noting that Question 8 was the only ballot referendum in the entire state to have fallen short.

"People knew what they were doing," McKenna said.

As for the potential headwinds Newport Grand is facing with the likelihood of increased competition from points north, McKenna said that he would hope the former jai-alai fronton would be able to adapt with the times.

"Revenue is falling all over the gambling universe as more parlors get opened, as more people partic-ipate in online gambling," he said, noting that the facility has evolved significantly since its days as a niche sporting venue. "Maybe Newport Grand can make some adjustments, and keep people employed."

Hurley, who was not available for comment prior to press time, had become a visible proponent for her cause, walking neighborhoods and campaigning at the polls on elec-tion day.

In previous statements, Hurley and other casino proponents had framed the issue as of one of job creation and retention. In order to stay viable, Hurley said, Newport Grand would have to keep pace with the looming threat of a series of proposed resort casinos in Mas-sachusetts.

As it turns out, the measure's de-feat came at a fairly steep price.

According to the latest campaign finance reports, Newport Grand had spent a total of $389,487 to ad-vocate for table games.

By comparison, Citizens Con-cerned About Casino Gaming spent a total of $17,554 in opposition to the proposal, while Elizabeth Meyer, a Newport resident, spent roughly $50,556 over the course of the campaign.

While McKenna said that he knew that his group wasn't going to be able to compete in the mon-ey race, he believed that in the end, Newporters would rally around their cause.

"We knew that we didn't have the resources to do a long cam-paign," he said. Instead, the group chose to undertake a more concen-trated effort closer to election day.

"I think the strategy obvious-ly worked," McKenna said, adding of gambling, "It looks like it's easy money coming in, but it's not easy on the people who are spending more than they can afford."

Farley, Camacho enjoy VictoryBy Tom Shevlin

Two new faces will take their place on the City Council this Janu-ary, and both are pledging to bring open minds and energy to the city's top elected body.

Michael T. Farley and Marco Camacho both earned their first electoral victories on Tuesday. Far-ley, who ran in the past to rep-resent the city's Second Ward, placed fourth in the council's At-Large race. Meanwhile, Camacho, a native Newporter, unseated First Ward Councilor Charles Y. Duncan in his first bid for elected office.

"I'm very pleased and grateful for all the support I got," Farley said, adding that he saw this latest cam-paign as a culminating event of his previous political forays. "The pa-tience has finally paid off."

Camacho, who took the last two weeks before the election to cam-paign full time, was awestruck by the experience.

"I felt like coming in I was win-ning either way, because I was doing this for my community and it was just a great experience," he

said. "As a life-long Newporter, coming back here, seeing what the issues were…if it wasn't 2012, it was going to be 2014, because we need to push the city forward," he said, adding, "It feels great, it feels better than anything I've ever done."

Both Farley and Camacho come to a council that has been making some significant progress in tack-ling some of the city's more nag-ging problems – from addressing infrastructure repairs to long-term strategic planning.

On Tuesday, shortly after the polls closed, Camacho was eager to get going. "There's a lot of work to be done and I plan on starting it tomorrow," he said, adding, "I'm looking forward to working with the rest of the council."

Farley, too, expressed his desire to help the council continue to move forward.

"We've got our work cut out for us," he said.

The new council is slated to be sworn in during an inauguration ceremony on Jan. 2, 2013.

Fire Prevention Message: The National Fire Protection As-

sociation discourages the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil. These turkey fryers use a substantial quantity of cooking oil at high tem-peratures, and units currently avail-able for home use pose a significant danger that hot oil will be released at some point during the cooking process. The use of turkey fryers by consumers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries, and the de-struction of property.

eDIToRIALTime to Set Aside Smears

LeTTeRS To THe eDIToR

And so it's over. The election of 2012 has come and gone. A billion-dollar contest that no one won.

On the federal level, the House of Representatives re-mained firmly in the hands of the Republicans, and the Senate be-came a slightly deeper shade of blue. Our President is the same as the last four years, and unless the political ground shifts, it's hard to see how gridlock is broken.

Money and partisanship still rule. What had promised to be an election of big ideas became one of

scare tactics and hollow personal attacks carried out by campaigns on both sides that played fast and loose with the truth.

We saw that locally, as Rhode Island airwaves became littered with political ads for U.S. House and Senate.

We heard indictments of the ills of "career politicians" and how Re-publicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare.

Character was a central theme in the race for the state's First Con-gressional District, but it's hard for any political candidate not to get dragged down into the muck of a campaign and emerge unsullied.

American politics have never been snow-white, nor do we pre-sume to think that they ever will be.

However, it must be tiring to participate in a process that can feel so disingenuous. And so, it is to our federal delegation that we direct an urgent plea for bipartisanship.

According to the most recent polling heading into the election, Congress had an approval rating of just 21 percent, up slightly from its historic low of 13 percent in September, but pitiful nonetheless.

Clearly something is not working. To Mr. Whitehouse and Mr. Cicilline, we ask that as you go back to

Washington, you do so with compromise in mind. Oh, we're sure that they'll say the other side is impossible to work

with and only interested in helping out "millionaires and billionaires." But to simplify and generalize the complex issues that we face as a nation is an insult not only to the intelligence of the voting public, but also to the institutions that these politicians have fought so hard to be part of.

Make no mistake, the political professionals who craft the sound-bites and narratives that shape our politics are expert at moving the electorate – in some cases despite our best interests.

In the South, conservatives maintain their edge by lumping Dem-ocrats into one pre-defined box with Republicans warning voters of their opponents' "big government" tendencies and their presumed affinity for "European socialism."

In New England, the opposite can be seen. Here, Democrats ap-ply labels to their GOP counterparts that would make you think that they're part of some Wall Street cabal from the 1800s intent on push-ing your elderly grandmother off a cliff.

In Massachusetts, Sen. Scott Brown used the closing weeks of his campaign asking voters to "vote the person, not the party." He ran ads featuring him conferring with President Obama, and touted his record as one of the Senate's most bipartisan players.

Yet, in the end, he lost, as his opponent tied him to the most ex-treme elements of his party. It's a tried and true recipe for success, and it's used relentlessly across the political spectrum.

It wasn't too long ago that candidates were rewarded for their in-dependence and the originality of their ideas.

What's wrong with our system is not that we are not engaged. Rather, it's the simplification of our discourse and our preference to see "the other side" as just that.

We hear a lot of people wondering why our elected officials can't put aside their partisan rivalries at the end of the day and enjoy a beer or cocktail together.

But wouldn't we all be better off if they could find a way to work together during business hours as well?

We Were Ready for Sandy

oPINIoN

To the Editor:NewportReady wishes to express

our thanks to the the City of New-port's Emergency Management Agency (EMA) for working with our group during Hurricane Sandy. In particular, it was a distinct plea-sure to work with the city's public information officer NPD Lt William Fitzgerald who provided us with timely information that we were able to relay around the communi-ty via multiple "channels." We also appreciated the ability to rapidly communicate -- back to the EMA -- urgent situations around town. Currently, we are still collecting "lessons learned" and will share that information back to the city, interested neighborhood groups, and other groups interested in be-ing part of the new FEMA plan-ning and response approach called "Whole Community."

NewportReady volunteers set aside many hours on Monday and Tuesday actively supporting our group's mission of providing a re-

liable, smart, and quick conduit of information to and from the city's emergency management team by leveraging a broad range of com-munication technologies (from various radios to email lists to Twit-ter to Facebook). Hurricane San-dy gave us the opportunity to test many different aspects:n Our handheld radios, funded

through an IBM grant and owned by the Newport County Radio Club, worked well. While radio coverage across the city wasn't perfect, we worked through the shortcomings and are already thinking about ap-proaches to improve that capability.n We showed that we could

manage our activities across vari-ous stakeholders using a shared document "in the cloud," while backing it up regularly to a laptop just in case.n Key EMA themes and informa-

tion were efficiently "broadcast" via KnowingNewport and Newpor-tReady lists, Facebook, and Twitter.n "Crowd sourcing" was tried

Monday evening ahead of the high tide event. Residents were invited to complete a simple online form if they saw neighborhood damage that needed the city's attention. Fifty people opened the form, and 11 entries were quickly made, with at least two coming from a smart-phone. The city had the ability to track these inputs through a web link that showed an online spread-sheet.n We pushed peak wind gust

and barometric pressure obser-vations directly to the National Weather Service office in Taunton.

We certainly learned much from this week's experience and look forward to having an ongoing col-laboration with the city's emergen-cy management team. Volunteer groups, like NewportReady, can have people and assets perform helpful support roles during all phases of disasters like Hurricane Sandy or Tropical Storm Irene.

The last week of October was Red Ribbon Week, sponsored by the National Family Partnership. It is the oldest and largest drug pre-vention campaign in the country. Formally designated in 1988, the event serves as an annual oppor-tunity for communities and indi-viduals to affirm their commitment to healthy and drug-free lives (re-dribbon.org).

Here in Middletown, our Task Force and community volunteers are particularly aware of the im-portance of preventing underage drinking, which is one of the “pre-vention priorities” that Red Ribbon Week emphasizes. The fact that alcohol is the drug of choice for America’s youth, and that young people frequently combine alco-hol and other drugs are just two reasons why preventing underage drinking is so important.

Middletown’s teen drinking rates are higher than the state av-erage: 41% of Middletown’s high school students reported use of al-cohol in the past 30 days (accord-ing to the Middletown Student Health and Wellness Survey 2011-2012) versus 34% of high school students statewide. In addition,

access to alcohol is a huge issue: 37% of Middletown middle school students and 66 percent of high school students indicated that it would be “sort of” or “very” easy to get alcohol.

What can you do to help pre-vent underage drinking? Turns out, talking to your teens is one of the most powerful things a parent can do. Our Task Force was recent-ly involved in the “Power of Par-ents” training sponsored by Moth-ers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and the focus was on the relation-ship between parents and kids (madd.org/powerofparents).

All the research says that teens being connected to their parents and being bonded to their fami-lies are strong protective factors – and the key is for parents to have a dialogue with their kids. Although you may feel like the last thing your teen wants to do is listen, the things you say really do have an impact.

The Power of Parents training suggests seven tips for connecting with your teen:n Communicate before a problem starts—before there is blaming, anger, or punishments

n Discuss rules and consequenc-es—explain how you expect your child to act and why, and what the consequences of broken rules will ben Show you care—tell them you love themn Pay attention—take time to lis-ten to them, and always know where they aren Share family activities—have dinner together at least three times per weekn Give and get respect—it’s a two way streetn Enforce consequences consis-tently

Parents, talk to your teens. Of-fer straightforward, no-nonsense information: Underage drinking is illegal. Drinking can make you sick or pass out. Drinking can lead to sexual assault, or car accidents, or a future as an alcoholic. Your teens need to hear unwavering guidance from you—during Red Ribbon Week, and all through the year.

ReSULTS CoNTINUeD FRom PG. 1ed ward race this year, with Coun-cilors Justin S. McLaughlin and Kathryn E. Leonard both cruising to re-election unopposed in the Sec-ond and Third Wards.

All of the above vote totals were not reflective of outstanding ab-sentee ballots, which had not been counted as of press time.

The mood inside Napolitano's Malbone Avenue home on Tuesday evening was ebullient, as support-ers added up the results as they were recorded on a series of grid-ded poster boards taped to the wall. A similar scene played out at Winthrop's Fifth Ward residence.

After the totals were confirmed, both Napolitano and Winthrop said that they were indeed interested in pursuing the mayor's seat once again, however as it became clear that Winthrop had secured enough votes to continue on in his cur-rent post, Napolitano said that she would join in his affirmation.

That news bodes well for the new council, who will be tasked with tackling a number of impor-tant issues in the new year – from its continued efforts to spur eco-nomic development, to oversee-ing the Broadway Streetscape and even planning for the potential de-cline of Newport Grand.

Councilors have been on a roll of late, achieving a number of long-stated goals like repaving Spring and Thames Street, embarking on an improved communications plan, and embracing new ideas through establishing ad-hoc work-ing groups on issues such as eco-nomic development and technol-ogy improvements.

Looking ahead, Winthrop said that he believes the new council will mesh well together.

"I certainly would like to believe

that we would continue on to the new year, even with two new mem-bers on the council," he said, add-ing that he believed he's earned a full term as mayor.

To be sure, while Napolitano may have secured the most number of votes, historically, roughly half the time the mayor's seat has not gone to the top vote-getter, and there remains a question as to whether there's an appetite amongst the council for yet another change in leadership.

One observer noted that conti-nuity often trumps popularity.

Still, according to Canvassing Clerk Rick O'Neill, Napolitano's feat – that of securing the highest number of votes in four consecu-tive elections (or five, if you include primaries) – is unprecedented in re-cent history.

First elected in 1991 to represent the First Ward, Napolitano is cur-rently the longest serving member of the council. After falling short of her first bid for an at-large seat in 1993, she has served continuously since 1999, serving as the city's first female mayor from 2008-2010.

Outside of the council over the years, Napolitano has been active on the board of New Visions, the Newport County Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and most recently, as chair of the East Bay Energy Con-sortium.

Asked to explain her consistent appeal, Napolitano demurred to the political basics.

"I think when people call me, I return phone calls; when they e-mail me, I return the e-mails; I try to solve problems and I do what they expect of me," she said.

Napolitano's tenure as mayor came to a controversial end two years ago after having lost the sup-

port of the majority of the council to former councilor Stephen C. Wa-luk in a 4-3 vote.

Waluk, who resigned his post earlier this year after being tapped for a senior post in the state judicial branch, handed the reigns off to Winthrop, who in the past several months had expressed an interest in continuing on in his post.

An informal vote of the incom-ing council could come as early as next week, however no formal vote will be taken until the new council is sworn in officially in January.

In other results, for School Com-mittee, Jo Eva Gaines earned the highest number of votes with 4,674, followed by Charles Shoe-maker with 4,563; Sandra Flow-ers with 4,345; Robert Leary with 4,345; Rebecca Bolan with 4,243; Thomas Phelan with 4,240; and Robert Power with 4,121.

In State Senate District 13, Sen. President M. Teresa Paiva Weed easily defeated Republican Geof-frey Cook 73-27 percent. She'll join fellow Democrat Reps. Peter F. Mar-tin and Marvin Abney, who both ran unopposed and Sen. Louis P. DiPalma in the General Assembly for the next two years.

In the race for the state's First Congressional District, Newport voters came out in force for Demo-crat Rep. David Cicilline, giving the incumbent 56 percent of the vote to challenger Brendan Doherty's 38 percent.

And in the race for U.S. Senate, Newport voters chose incumbent Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, of New-port, over GOP challenger and fel-low Newporter Barry Hinckley by a margin of 68-31.

Both Cicilline and Whitehouse were able to translate their leads in Newport to overall victory.

By Meg O’NeilTuesday proved to be an easy

election day for the seven mem-bers of the Newport School Com-mittee who ran unopposed for the first time in over 15 years. Six of the current school committee mem-bers will return in January. They are, in order of votes: Jo Eva Gaines (4,674); Charles Shoemaker (4,563); Sandra Flowers (4,345); Robert Leary (4,345); Rebecca Bolan (4,243) and Thomas Phelan (4,240).

Current School Committee chair-man Patrick K. Kelley did not seek re-election.

Filling in the seventh seat is com-mittee newcomer Robert Power, who received the fewest votes with 4,121. A former superintendent of the Jamestown school system and former assistant superintendent and interim-superintendent of the Newport Public Schools, Power has also served as chair to the Cliff Walk Commission.

For most members of the school committee, the race – or rather lack thereof – was a disappointment.

“It’s disappointing not to have people involved in our communi-ty,” said Leary while he was greet-ing voters outside the polls of the Newport Public Library on Tuesday. “This is the sixth time I’ve run, and this is the only time that I’ve seen this happen.” It was a cold day, with temperatures in the 40s, but Leary visited each of the city’s seven poll-ing locations, believing that it was important that voters connect his face to the name on the ballot.

Also seeking her sixth term on the committee, Gaines vented her level of disappointment in the lack of candidates. “The deeper mean-ing behind this is a lack of concern for our schools. I don’t believe that no one else ran because the com-munity has such confidence in the

seven of us,” she said. “It’s very frus-trating because we have a lot of tal-ent in this town.”

School Committee member Shoemaker said that while the race was an easy win, it was actually get-ting his name on the ballot that was harder work. “The most oner-ous part of the whole process was getting 200 signatures from the community to even run,” he said. “It makes no sense compared to city councilors that needs 50 signatures in their ward.”

Both the Middletown and Ports-mouth School Committees saw multiple candidates running for the school board, so why not Newport?

The answer was a conundrum to members of the incoming commit-tee, leaving most scratching their head and saying they simply didn’t understand why nobody ran. A few possible ideas:

“It’s hard to beat incumbents,” said Bolan, who has been on the committee for the last four years. She also suggested that Newport is a town with longstanding fam-ily names. “A lot of who makes the school committee here in New-port is name recognition. But that doesn’t necessarily correlate with your job performance.”

Some members had other ideas. “It’s a thankless job,” Power said. “No matter what you do, when you make a decision, half of the people and parents will think it was right, half will think it was wrong, and after time, people get worn down and disappointed.”

Gaines concurred, saying, “Every-body has the right to complain and speak up. But when it’s time to run, if you feel that strongly about an is-sue, run and do something about it to help make a change.”

Additionally, Power said that al-though he was happy to make the committee, but because there was

no hotly contested race, members of the public did not get to hear where the candidates stood on educational issues. “We never got to have a forum to talk to the com-munity about what we think and where we stand. So people have a school committee, but they don’t know what our position is. Unfor-tunately, with the way this election season turned out, nobody really got to see what this committee is made of.”

Committee member Shoemaker explained that maybe people sim-ply don’t have the extra time to commit to the committee. “There were quite a few uncontested parties across the state, it’s a lot of hard work to run and it can be quite costly. Once you get onto the school committee, the work can be very demanding in terms of time. People here are interested in edu-cation. They believe it’s important, but perhaps they just don’t have the time.”

Gaines agreed to a point: “I can understand that people have jobs and families, but there must be some people who can afford some time to make things better for the next generation.”

In the coming weeks, the school committee will work behind the scenes on choosing a new chair, as Kelley, who has been at the helm for the past two years, will be gone from the dais.

“The decision needs to be well thought out,” said Bolan. “In my es-timation, it’s got to be the person who can do the best job for the kids. We’ve got to choose the best person who will bring everyone to-gether and holds the best interest of our children.”

The committee will vote on the final decision at the first school committee meeting of the new year in January.

By Meg O’NeilLast year, the Rhode Island state

legislature declined to legalize same-sex marriage due to oppo-sition from several Senate Demo-crats, including Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed of Newport.

Instead, civil unions were intro-duced July 1, 2011, to provide a le-gal means for same-sex couples to be recognized as a couple under state law, although not under fed-eral law. However, same-sex cou-ples do not appear to be jumping at the opportunity to obtain civ-il unions, and some advocates of same-sex marriage say that is be-cause civil unions lack “the power of the word ‘marriage.’”

Since July 2011, Rhode Island recorded a total of 70 civil union licenses, of which 57 occurred in 2011, and 13 more through Sept. 30, 2012. By comparison, Dela-ware has a smaller population than Rhode Island, but more than 85 civ-il unions were performed in that state during the first month that they became available there.

At the local level, just five couples in Newport have filed for civil union licenses in the past 16 months, ac-cording to City Clerk Kathy Silvia. All five were recorded between July and October, 2011.

Pro-marriage-equality advocates like Ray Sullivan, campaign director for Marriage Equality Rhode Island, say the low number of couples en-gaging in civil unions reflects the fact that many same-sex couples are holding off, waiting for an op-portunity for marriage. “They want to get married,” Sullivan said. “They don’t want a commitment ceremo-ny or civil union license. They want to invite their friends and family to a wedding. And I think people are coming to understand that it’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’ we win marriage-equality here. Marriage is the gold standard. It comes with instant recognition of that level of commitment that is shared be-tween two people.”

Rhode Island is the only state in New England that does not recog-nize same-sex marriages, but that could change. Earlier this week, Rhode Island House Speaker Gor-don Fox pledged that the House of

Representatives will vote on the is-sue before the end of January.

In the meantime, Rhode Island is losing out on the dollars associat-ed with weddings, say advocates. According to the Massachusetts Department of Health, between 2004 and 2008, more than 250 same-sex couples from Rhode Is-land were married in Massachu-setts. Marriage Equality Rhode Is-land estimates those weddings could have brought $8 million into the state’s economy.

Since May, when Gov. Lincoln Chafee issued an executive order that Rhode Island recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages, many Rhode Island couples have gone to neighboring states including Con-necticut, Massachusetts, and Ver-mont to have marriage ceremonies performed there, according to Sul-livan.

“Newport is one of the premier wedding destinations in the coun-try,” he said. “While we look at mar-riage equality first and foremost as a fundamental civil rights issue, there’s also an economic develop-ment side of it that can’t be ignored.”

Last month, Newporter Michael Casieri organized a fundraiser for Marriage Equality Rhode Island at Christie’s restaurant. Nearly 100 supporters attended the event, in-cluding Mayor Harry Winthrop and City Councilors Stephen Coyne and Justin McLaughlin – an indication that there is support for same-sex marriage locally.

In the coming weeks, Marriage Equality Rhode Island and volun-teers plan to organize in key Rhode Island districts, including Newport, Sullivan said.

Currently, one of the most vis-ible pro-same-sex-marriage groups in Newport is Interweave at Chan-ning Memorial Church on Pelham St. According to Sullivan, at a recent rally held at the church, more than 60 people volunteered to knock on doors to promote the legaliza-tion of same-sex marriage. “One of the most effective things is neigh-bor-to-neighbor contact,” he said. “When legislators hear from their constituents over and over, they recognize a level of support to pass marriage equality. It is time for equality here in Rhode Island.”

Voter Turnout Touches 58 PercentBy Meg O'Neil

and Tom ShevlinLong lines and cold tempera-

tures couldn't stop Newport voters from heading to the polls on Tues-day.

Roughly 58 percent of eligible voters in Newport cast ballots in Tuesday's general election, data provided by the city's Canvassing Office shows.

According to a summary re-port produced by City Canvassing Clerk Rick O'Neill, 8,244 out of the city's total 14,254 registered vot-ers turned out to the polls this year, down slightly from 2008 when vot-er turnout approached 68 percent.

Even though the number of vot-ers was down from four years ago, at some polling locations, vot-ers were forced to wait up to two hours before they reached the poll-ing booth. Others were in-and-out within 10 minutes.

Some of the longest waits oc-curred at the Park Holm Senior Center and Donovan Manor, where a line could be seen stretching out the doors and onto the sidewalks for most of the day.

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter provided an up-to-the-minute look at voter experiences throughout Newport.

For voter Cheri Dugan, the pro-cess was a positive one. “Everyone at Rogers High School was upbeat. The workers were nice and friendly,

and there were no problems with the machines. The wait was less than 10 minutes and visiting with everyone makes the wait kind of fun! I’m grateful to live in a coun-try where I have the opportunity to vote, or not vote, if I so choose!”

Others across the city did not have the same response, with many experiencing long delays in the voting lines. Many delays can be chalked up to the city's decision to reduce the number of polling places from over a dozen to seven.

On Newport Now’s Facebook page, Drew Carey, who waited in line for two hours, described his ex-perience at Donovan Manor’s poll-ing location: “The poor volunteers had no break and no additional help despite far more people than usual. It’s difficult to understand the rationale of cutting polling places. A number of people gave up and left … No need for this chaos!”

The move, which was spurred by a required review of the city's pre-cinct lines following the 2010 cen-sus, may have been compounded by the state's effort to require voter ID.

Voter Torry Marrs experienced ID difficulty first hand. After wait-ing in line for 45 minutes, her RI li-cense was initially refused as it had recently expired. Although she had her new RI voter ID card in hand just in case, Marrs was made to wait for official approval from a poll worker to cast her vote. She called

the process “a tad disconcerting.”O'Neill said that his office had

received numerous complaints about the length of time it took for many to cast their ballots. He ad-justed staffing throughout the day in an attempt to quicken the pace of the day's voting.

In the earlier half of the day, lines were divided into two: one line for people whose last names began A – L, and the other for M – Z. In some cases, wait time simply depended on where your last name fell in the alphabet. By the afternoon, addi-tional check-in lines were opened to help with traffic flow.

Newporter Elaine Cascio said, “My partner, whose last name be-gins with P voted in an hour. It took me two hours and 20 minutes as a C. We went to vote together. Don’t count letters, count voters!”

Newly-elected Councilor Mi-chael T. Farley sought to offer so-lutions after experiencing the long lines himself while out campaign-ing. "The people who worked the polling places did a wonderful job and did all they could," he said. "What we need is to see some more volunteers. Maybe this is an oppor-tunity to put out a call."

Overall, turnout in Newport lagged slightly behind that of the state, where an estimated 61 per-cent of cast ballots, according to latest estimates.

Storm Windows and Insulation Save moneyBy Ross Cann

As night-time temperatures be-gin to fall, it is useful to remem-ber that there are few investments in your home that are less visible but more valuable than insulation. There have been some tremendous advances in insulation in the last decade, and these improved prod-ucts can keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, saving you money through-out the year. Another energy-saver that can be made quickly and af-fordably is the addition of storm windows, which help prevent wa-ter penetration and serve to cut heat loss almost as much as install-ing expensive new double-glazed windows.

I recently was involved in reno-vating a home that had been built in the 1970s. When the contractor opened the walls to update the in-sulation, he discovered that there was no insulation there. For nearly 40 years, the heating and cooling energy had been going out right through the walls. In an instance like this, the savings from installing insulation can be enormous. How much is the savings worth? Imag-ine that you are able to reduce a monthly heating bill from $350 to $200. To get that same $150 sav-ings per month from an account paying 1% interest, you would cur-rently need to have $180,000 in the bank.

What is the best way to know if your house can benefit from in-creased insulation? If the snow melts off the top of your roof quick-ly, that is a good sign that you need better insulation. You can also have infrared images of your house taken during the wintertime to see how and where the heat is escaping.

In addition to lowering the cost to heat and cool your home, add-ing new insulation helps decrease your "carbon footprint," which is the amount of energy and excess carbon dioxide your home puts

into the atmosphere. For each gal-lon of fuel oil you use each year, ap-proximately 18 pounds of carbon dioxide are created.

Another benefit of the new forms of insulation is that they can help reduce the draftiness of a house, and they can help prevent water leaks as well. (In order to compensate for the decreased air flow, the fresh air intake of the sys-tem should be increased.)

There are many types of insula-tion available including fiberglass, open cell, closed cell and rigid, so you should work with your archi-tect and contractor to help you choose the appropriate product and also to design the system cor-rectly so that you have proper ven-tilation and humidity control with-in the walls.

With storm windows, the savings should also quickly cover the cost of the installation. While installing storm windows is expressly permit-ted by the Newport Historic Dis-trict regulations, choosing the right windows to complement the look and function of your home is still important.

The sooner you are able to up-grade your insulation and install storm windows, the sooner you will begin to save money, and the more money you will save in the long term.

rian, teacher, author and practicing archi-

tect who lives and works in Newport.

Disaster Relief in Rhode Island

The AT&T Foundation an-nounced a $10,000 grant to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center and a $15,000 grant to Jon-nycake Center in Westerly, and to support restoration and care ef-forts benefitting people impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

The grant will help restock food supplies,” said Marilyn Warren, ex-ecutive director of the MLK Jr. Com-munity Center. “We also hold our breath with every storm because our commercial generator is bro-ken and we have not had sufficient funds to repair it. We will allocate a portion of this grant to replace the generator.

The local grants build on a $250,000 national grant to the American Red Cross Disaster Re-lief fund, bringing AT&T’s total grants for Hurricane Sandy relief to $500,000. The grants are in ad-dition to AT&T’s broad-based and growing Hurricane Sandy restora-tion and care efforts, which include:

Text to Pledge: Customers who would like to contribute more can text up to five times for a total do-nation of $50. One hundred per-cent of any donation will be paid to the customer's designated charity and the customer will be charged for the donation via the customer's monthly AT&T bill.

Local Army Veteran Researches Family History of ServiceBy Jack Kelly

Two brothers, Michael and Paul Christensen, both with ties to New-port, served in units that were the forerunners of the United States Army Special Forces. Michael, 80, is now working on a history of the Christensen family in Newport, where he still lives. (His older broth-er Paul died in 2002 after an army career that included being one of

the army’s first Green Berets.)Having survived two open-heart

surgeries in the past two years, Mi-chael Christensen has dedicated himself to writing the record of his family in Newport, especially the Irish Fifth Ward, by gathering pho-tos and stories dating back 150 years.

The saga begins with grandfa-ther Andrew Christensen, who was a young child when his family emi-grated to the United States from Denmark in the late 1880s. In 1893, at the age of 12, Andrew lied about his age and joined the Apprentice Boys Seamen Class at Naval Train-ing Station, Newport. The mini-mum age for this program was 14. He was stationed aboard the USS Constellation for his training and then moved into the Atlantic Fleet for duty. He served on a number of ships home-ported in Newport. During the early 1900s, Andrew met and married Catherine Boylan, a native Newporter and a member of a prominent Irish Fifth Ward fam-ily. Andrew served 30 years in the Navy, retiring in 1923.

The Christensen family moved to Chicago in the early 1940s. Follow-ing a pattern set by his grandfather, Paul Christensen (Andrew’s grand-son) left home at age 15 in 1944 and used a forged birth certificate

to enlist in the US Army paratroops. That enlistment was cut short when his mother informed the en-listment board of his real age. Two years later, his parents allowed him to enlist when he was 17.

Younger brother Michael en-listed in the Army after graduating from high school in 1950. He com-pleted his basic training and vol-unteered for airborne training. “I wanted to do what my older broth-er was doing. I wanted to be the best soldier I could be,” he said.

In the fall of 1951, Michael Chris-tensen was assigned to combat op-erations in Korea with the 187th Airborne Regiment Combat Team. He was promoted to Staff Sergeant and distinguished himself in bat-tle while leading the unit’s mortar men. In 1952, the brothers were re-united in Korea. Paul got his young-er brother assigned to an elite and highly classified special operations unit, of which he was already a member.

“The unit was known as the 8240 Army Unit, Far East Command Li-aison Detachment,” said Michael. “It was part Army, part CIA and the forerunner of the US Army’s Special Forces. I was an advisor assigned to the 6th Partisan Regi-ment comprised of Korean parti-sans. The 8240 Partisan Unit oper-ated on the islands off both coasts of North Korea. They performed sabotage, intelligence gathering, and assassination missions behind enemy lines. They also conducted counterfeiting operations on the islands and the mainland. The ad-visors fought alongside the par-tisans, and we were successful in many of our missions. One of my primary duties was to instruct the partisans on how to best aim and utilize their mortars.”

After leaving the Army in 1953, Christensen led a life of success and adventure as an hotelier, res-taurateur, gentleman farmer and banking executive. “I have always put my best into everything I’ve done, and I always start the day with 20 push-ups,” he said.

Yet, he added, the proudest time of his life was the years he spent helping oppressed people fight for their freedom.

FRom THe GARDeN’Tis the Season for Potting Amaryllis bulbs

By Cynthia GibsonThis is the week to purchase,

plant, and water your amaryllis for the holidays. This simple holi-day ritual is known as “forcing.” You are forcing a bulb to bloom, something it would not normal-ly do in cold climates. Given sun-light in a warm room, the plant’s bulbs produce magnificent flow-ers.

Amaryllis is the ideal flower for forcing for the holiday sea-son. You must buy the bulbs now and plant them no later than next week. The key to forcing these bulbs is moderate heat; a 65-70-degree room is best. They do appreciate sunlight, but the tall stems always bend towards the sun direction, so remem-ber to rotate the pots every few days. The tall, slender, hollow stalks will need staking. You can tie them with a bit of raffia.

Amaryllis, or Hippeastrum that we plant in fresh potting soil each holiday season is native to South America. Certain species are found in Mexico and the Ca-ribbean as well.

Amaryllis is one of our main-stay Christmas flowers besides the poinsettia. You can keep your amaryllis growing for years, and that’s one of the rea-sons that it makes a lovely gift plant. Most people toss them after their display of huge flow-ers has drooped and died, but what is glorious about this bulb is that after the blossom fades, your need only to replant it in a larger pot with fresh soil, fertil-ize monthly, water regularly, and it will produce flowers year af-ter year and even multiply. After two years, you will have to divide the bulbs and start them in their own individual pots.

I have seen amaryllis with fif-teen bulbs in one pot, which was started twenty years ago! More-over, they will not take up room in your house during the sum-mer. They thrive on a porch, ter-race, or patio all summer long. They love indirect light and just might bloom in July as well.

It is always better to purchase the largest bulbs you can find. Not only will they give you a huge burst of holiday blooms, they will produce new bulbs faster.

This holiday flower used to come in just two colors, red or white. This is definitely no lon-ger the case. Holiday amaryllis

now come in light yellow, hot pink and a new favorite, lime green. For those of you who like simple and ele-gant dinner tables of white, green, and gold, the Lime-light amaryllis is for you. The color is almost chartreuse, but not quite. A true green Hippeastrum is H. aviflo-rum. This, too, is an elegant looking flower.

Not only are the colors of yellow and green new to the species, hybridizers have gone wild with striped varieties with colors such as hot pink. Other varieties are orange-red, cream, and

peach. Since they now come in so many colors, shapes and siz-es, one is sure to suit your decor!

There are also double variet-ies. These are blossoms that have two or three times the number of petals as the single petal va-rieties. There are also “spider” varieties that look just like . . . a spider. They have white spindly petals with hot pink or reddish tinges that are very exotic look-ing, reminiscent of a spider chry-santhemum.

When it comes to purchasing these bulbs, you really get the display you pay for. If the bulb is the size of a small grapefruit, you are shopping in the right store. If the bulbs are closer in size to an orange or smaller, you might just get one stalk (scape) and one blossom, or unfortunately, no blossom at all. The large-size

bulbs can cost upwards of $12 each, but they are a gift that keeps on giving. With just a bit of tender care, your gift will last for years.

Amaryllis are an especially good gift for people who are el-derly, because they become in-volved in the way these bulbs grow so quickly and transform into magnificent plants before their eyes. These bulbs grow so fast, you can measure their growth per day. Unlike paper whites, which are also forced this time of year, amaryllis has little to no fragrance, unless it is specifically labeled a fragrant amaryllis, which has a light and lovely scent.

People either love or hate the scen of paper whites. They are very pretty for a while, but they get leggy very quickly unless forced in tall vases.

How to plant an amaryllis: Plant bulbs in all-purpose

potting soil, either pre-fertilized or unfertilized. Choose a pot just a bit

larger than the bulb. Two-thirds of the bulb

should remain above the soil line. Place the potted bulb in

southern exposure. The temperature should

be between 65-70 degrees Fahr-enheit. Rotate the pot every three

days or your stalks (scapes) will take a sharp turn towards the sun. This can weaken the stems, and they can break. Should the stalks get too

tall, stake them with thin, short, green bamboo stakes and tie them with a bit of raffia, avail-able in craft stores. When the flowers start to

open, move your bulb to a cool-er area of the house (60-65 de-grees) to prolong the bloom of the flowers. Use a saucer under your

potted bulb to catch any excess water. Amaryllis does not like to be bone dry. Test the soil with your finger every two days for dampness.

Hippeastrum originated in the tropical areas of South America.

JAMES PERSE LOS ANGELES

By Katherine Imbrie

Aquidneck Islanders who love the expe-rience of buying locally grown food and other products from vendors at the two weekly outdoor summer Aquidneck Grow-ers’ Markets now have something to look forward to this winter. For the first time this year, Aquidneck Growers’ Market will con-tinue through the winter with a weekly in-door market at the parish hall of St. Mary’s Church in Portsmouth. The market will be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parish hall beginning this Saturday, Nov. 10.

“News of this new winter market has been met with such enthusiasm and ex-citement by our summer customers,” says market manager Bevan Linsley. “People have been so pleased to hear that they can continue shopping at a local market through the winter months.”

The indoor market will feature many of the same farmers and vendors from the summer markets, including Maplewood, Simmons and Paradise Hill Farms with a wide selection of winter vegetables; Aquidneck Farm with island-raised meats; bakeries including Provencal, Olga’s Cup and Saucer, and June Love’s English Cakes; and Barden Family Orchard fruit. There will also be fresh seafood and an array of fresh-ly ground coffees.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, there will be live music and items for sale by lo-cal artisans. Hot lunch items from local chefs will round out the event that will take place every Saturday this winter, including the special annual Thanksgiving Market to be held on Nov. 17, also at St. Mary’s.

“It’s going to be fun place to visit on Sat-urday mornings,” says Linsley. “We are also making a space for customers to sit and talk, because a winter market becomes an even more important part of a communi-ty when travel is harder and we don’t see our neighbors as often as we would like. There’s even room for kids to play and dance to the music.”

The new winter market is part of a larger plan to renovate St. Mary’s old parish hall for use as an island community center. Also planned are a lecture series, a community garden, incubator farm plots, walking trails through the surrounding acres of newly preserved open space, and a peace gar-den. A community composting program allows market-goers to bring their food scraps (which may be frozen for conve-nience) to be composted on site for use in a community garden next spring.

Among the organizations that collabo-rated on the winter market and communi-ty center plan are St. Mary’s Church, Aquid-neck Land Trust, Sustainable Aquidneck, and EcoRI.

The public is invited to attend the win-ter market opening. Ken Ayars, chief of the Rhode Island Division of Agriculture, will cut the ribbon at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10. St. Mary’s Church is located at 324 East Main Rd., Portsmouth.

MHS’ Kenleigh Hebel, #10, fires a shot on goal in the first half. The senior played an all-around good game and earned an assist on teammate

Turcotte’s goal in the second half.

The Middletown High School girls’ soccer team, the top seed in the RIIL Division III playoffs, defeated the #9 seed Rogers High School girls 3-0 on Friday, Nov. 2 at Gaudet Field. While the Island-ers previously secured a first round bye in the Division III playoff, the Viking ladies defeated Woonsocket 6-1 two days prior to set up the quarterfinal match between these intra-island rivals. MHS’ scoring came on goals from sophomore Taylor George and senior Chelsea Dowler in the first half and from freshman Riley Turcotte in the second. Both Turcotte and senior Kenleigh Hebel added assists in the game. The Islanders kept the pressure on the Vikings con-tinuously, and Middletown goalkeeper Kaitlyn Griffith had to stop only three Viking shots to complete the shutout that ended Rog-ers’ previously undefeated season. With the victory, the Middle-town girls move on to face the #5 seed in Division III, Chariho High School, in the semifinals to be played at 8 p.m. at Gaudet Field on Friday, Nov. 9. Should Middletown win once again, the Division III final is scheduled to be played at RIC at 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov, 12. Middletown has lost the in the finals the last two years. Both of those defeats came against Narragansett High School.

The Middletown High School football team defeated East Greenwich High School on the road 20-7 on Friday night, Nov. 2. With the win, the Islanders completed their first un-defeated regular season since the early 70’s, finishing with an 8-0 record in Division III; 9-0 overall. The MHS offense was led by junior running back Connor Russ who rushed for 131 yards on 14 carries and scored all three Islander touch-downs. Russ also had an interception while playing defense. The game was a close one for three quarters; tied 7-7 to begin the fourth. Then, Russ’ TD runs of 27 yards and four yards sealed the victory for the Islanders. Middletown will be seeded #1 once the Division III playoffs begin later this month. Before that, however, the Islanders will host Ports-mouth High School at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day to renew the annual rivalry for Aquidneck Island bragging rights. As an out-of-division clash, that turkey day game will not affect the seeding for the post-season.

Some 2,500 runners and walkers will cross the Pell Bridge on Sunday, Nov. 11, and registration for the event has closed. The four-mile run/walk be-gins on the Jamestown side of the bridge at 6:30 a.m. and ends in downtown Newport. The Pell Bridge will not be shut down to cars for the event. Proceeds from the run support several Rhode Is-land charities, including the Newport County YMCA and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commu-nity Center.

By Patricia LacoutureBefore the holiday big movie

releases arrive, such as “Anna Kar-enina” and “Hitchcock,” movie-go-ers are treated to a modest drama about the strains within a string quartet. “A Late Quartet” deals with the disharmony that ensues after the quartet’s cellist Peter (Chris-topher Walken) is diagnosed with early Parkinson’s Disease. Critics have been raving about the music,

performed by the Brentano String Quartet, which provides counter-point as it underscores undercur-rents of discord, betrayal, and pent-up grief threatening to undermine the unity of the world-renowned musicians.

Peter has been experiencing weakness of his left hand, so he seeks a medical opinion. Even be-fore performing blood work and a brain scan, the doctor (Madhur Jaffrey) tells him that she strongly suspects Parkinson’s. Determined that the quartet’s upcoming per-formance will be his final one, Pe-ter musters the courage to over-come his trembling hands and play a masterpiece.

The musical piece at the heart of the drama is the Beethoven’s hauntingly beautiful String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor—the Opus 131, written late in the composer’s life. Complementing Walken’s per-

formance, the immensely talent-ed Philip Seymour Hoffman plays violinist Robert, who is married to the only woman in the quartet, Ju-liette (Catherine Keener). Already reeling from Peter’s diagnosis and the discovery of Robert’s infidelity, the couple approaches the perfor-mance with grace under emotional pressure. The fourth member, Dan-iel (Mark Ivanir), is having an affair with Alexandra (Imogene Poots), Robert and Juliette’s daughter, a discovery that fuels further discord.

All four actors learned to play small passages for their roles, and that adds authenticity. But the main talent that they bring to the screen is their acting. The characters’ 25-year partnership feels the ripples of emotional discord as they pick up their musical instruments, and, as a unified quartet, deliver on the de-manding musical composition.

Co-writer/director Yaron Zilber-man previously directed the docu-mentary “Watershed,” the story of a professional Jewish women’s swim team sent into exile when the Na-zis force the closure of their club, The Vienna Hakoah. Zilberman has an innate feel for partnerships re-quiring precision while faced with daunting odds.

“A Late Quartet” is scheduled for a one-week run at the Jane Pickens Theater, so mark your calendars for Nov. 9-16 for a unique and poi-gnant symphony about the human condition.

Patricia Lacouture teaches film studies at

Salve Regina Univer-sity . She completed her graduate studies in film

at Boston University.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, and Mark Ivanir star in “A Late Quartet”.

Living Labratory for Rogers biology ClassBy Jack Kelly

Thursdays have become a lit-tle more exciting for some Rog-ers High School students. This fall, the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes have become a classroom and liv-ing laboratory for the school’s biol-ogy students. Under the guidance of biology teacher Scott Dickison, the students are participating in a 10-week partnership with Save the Bay education specialists and vol-unteers.

During each trip to the marsh, students divide into small groups. Save the Bay education special-ist Adam Kovarsky and AmeriCorp volunteer Alex Bishop then lead them through a series of scientif-ic procedures, including plankton collection, water quality testing, marine life collection, marsh plant identification, and litter pick-up. Water sample test results are re-corded to be compared to past and future testing results. The students view plankton samples under a mi-croscope and attempt to identify the different microscopic creatures that exist in the marsh.

Kovarsky emphasizes that the health of the marsh depends on many variables. He explains that plants, marine life, water quality, birds and other animal species are interdependent in wetland habi-tats. Salt marshes are breeding grounds and nurseries for many marine creatures, including sum-mer flounder and various crab spe-cies. “These young people are be-ing given a great opportunity to learn about the balances of nature right here in this marsh,” Kovarsky said.

About four years ago, the Goose-neck Cove region was the subject of a restoration project that in-volved removing a non-function-ing dam and adding two new cul-verts that increased the flow of tidal waters. Within months, the marsh was recovering.

Since then, Dickison’s students have been involved in projects in-cluding growing Spartina (marsh cord grass) from seeds to plant in the marsh. In 2009, they also plant-ed small shrubs that had been grown in the classrooms. At that

time, the Marsh Elder and Bayber-ry bushes were barely a foot tall, but they have since matured and are now providing seeds and ber-ries to migratory birds as well as anchoring precious soils and filter-ing water. “It’s here that students see how all of the classroom study comes together,” Dickison said.

Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife

photographer and nature enthusiast who

enjoys sharing his ex-periences with others.

Federal officials are asking the public to ad-here to the closure of Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge in Middletown. The refuge is closed due to unsafe and hazardous conditions resulting from damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. “The high surf created unstable banks, severe drop offs right next to the trail, washed out trails, and over-steepened shoreline access points,” said Refuge Manager Charlie Vandemo-er. “These hazardous conditions coupled with the lack of emergen-cy vehicle access to the Refuge from the damage to Sachuest Point Road create unsafe conditions for the public”.
