The Coney Island of the East CoastCrescent Park, Vanity Fair, Boyden Heights, Hunts Mills

By Bob Rodericks “For anyone over 50 years old that grew up in East Providence, their best memories

run down the Crescent Park Midway. At least once every summer, a night comes along where I dream of riding the Flying Fish one more time”, says Don Gregory. Gregory, a 1979 EPHS graduate, grew up and still lives in Riverside. He enjoys reliving his childhood memories from Riverside and Crescent Park. Perhaps not many “younger” residents of East Providence today realize that the city once was called the Coney Island of the East Coast. In fact there were four major amusement parks in the city. Three of the parks - Crescent, Boyden Heights and Vanity Fair, were along the Riverside waterfront. A fourth, and lesser known park was at Hunt’s Mills in Rumford. Crescent Park was Rhode Island’s second park and was opened as an amusement park in 1886. During this time frame much of the Riverside area became a resort town featuring many summer homes along the Narragansett Bay or Providence River. Riverside was a destination for many vacationing families. Steamboats and trains from Providence and many other areas brought thousands of visitors to the shores of East Providence.

State Police Investigation of East Providence

Police DoneAll Are Cleared, Officers Vote No

Confidence in ChiefThe investigation of the East Providence

Police Department by the Rhode Island State Police was released last month. Lieu-tenant Colonel Michael J. winquist, deputy Superintendent/Chief of Field Operations for the State Police conducted the investigation. He concluded that no criminal charges will be forthcoming at this time. The report indicates that council members Thomas Rose and Chrissy Rossi did not “cooperate” with investigators as they referred questions to legal counsel. Here is the State Police statement:

Rhode Island State Police Investigation of Allegations of Improprieties and Irregu-larities Associated with the East Providence Police Department:

“Colonel Steven G. O’Donnell, Super-intendent, of the Rhode Island State Police and Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, announces that the Rhode Island State Police has concluded an in-vestigation of allegations of improprieties and irregularities associated with the East Providence Police Department.

On April 15, 2013, East Providence Police Chief Joseph Tavares was placed on administrative leave by the city manager and human resource director. In late May 2013, the East Providence Budget Com-mission passed a resolution reinstating East Providence Police Chief Joseph Tavares and requested that a State Police investigation be conducted to determine if any criminal statutes had been violated when the chief was placed on administrative leave.

The East Providence City Charter pro-hibits members of the City Council from interfering with the city manager regarding appointments and removals of employees serving the city in an administrative capac-ity. The city manager is solely responsible for this duty and shall not be directed or requested by members of the city council in regards to the appointment or removal of administrative personnel including the police chief. Allegations had been received by the East Providence Budget Commission that certain members of the East Providence City Council had unlawfully influenced the City Manager to place Chief Tavares on ad-ministrative leave so that the City Manager

could retain his position by obtaining a new contract. The East Providence City Manager serves at the pleasure of the City Council.

Over the past several weeks, several individuals were interviewed pertaining to the aforementioned allegations. These inter-views failed to reveal sufficient facts to meet the probable cause standard required to bring forth a criminal charge. Councilwoman Chrissy Rossi and Councilmen Thomas Rose Jr. exercised their right to counsel and did not fully cooperate with the investigation.

The East Providence Budget Commis-sion also requested the investigation of allegations of an improperly administered promotional exam, as well as other internal matters. These issues were determined to be administrative in nature and referred back to the Chief Tavares for review by his professional standards unit.

The Rhode Island State Police has re-ported the findings of the investigation to the East Providence Budget Commission.

Colonel Steven G. O’Donnell stated, “Our investigation was conducted profes-sionally and efficiently with the full under-standing of how these matters effect a law enforcement agency. It would have been helpful if all parties involved cooperated to bring all of the facts to light.”

In a statement released at the time by city manager Peter Graczykowski, he said: “I am not surprised by the conclusions of the investigation by the Rhode Island State Police. as expected, both the City officials and hard working officers of the east Provi-dence Police Department have been cleared of any wrongdoing in this matter. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time in a few years that the State Police were asked to investigate alleged improprieties in East Providence , and again, could not substanti-ate any evidence. This should assure the citizens of East Providence as to the integrity of City officials and Police department.”

Ward 4 council person Chrissy Rossi, did not agree with or like the statements made against her in the state police re-port. “How far will these people go to try to make me look bad? After a 40 minute interview with the State Police, answering every question they asked me, they say I was uncooperative? I have witnesses. I answered every question! Clearly the press release from the State Police was written out of frustration. They were trying to connect dots that didn’t exist. I have done nothing wrong and they damn well know it. Quoting some of the state police report, Rossi said,

their ‘interviews failed to reveal sufficient facts to meet the probable cause standard required to bring forth a criminal charge’ because I did nothing wrong,” said Rossi’s public statement.

In a related matter, the police union re-leased a statement in which they announced a vote of no-confidence in police chief Joseph tavares. Union president Kevin feeney said over 80% of the officers partici-pated in the vote and there were no votes cast, supporting the chief. Feeney said that his officers feel the Chief is incapable of leading the department. The matter now seems to be back in the lap of the budget commission which still has major jurisdiction over East Providence operations.

EP Police Chief & City Manager - Stay At OddsChief ’s lawyer wants lie Detector Test for All

by Bob Rodericks East Providence City Manager Peter Graczykowski and em-

battled Police Chief Joseph Tavares appear to be at a point beyond repair. This is evidenced by a series of recent communications between Graczykowski and Tavares and his attorney, Thomas McAndrew. Even though the state budget commission recently reinstated the police chief and assigned the RI State Police to get involved, On May 29th, Graczykowski sent a written warning to Ta-vares just 5 days after his return to the chief’s office. Graczykowski told Tavares that (I) “have not received from you the biweekly report that was due...on May 28th, 2013...” “I do expect to have them ready for my review by deadline in the future,” added Graczykowski. Tavares answered the city manager in an email on May 30th and a letter on May 31st. The chief of police told the city manager that he was “stunned” for many reasons by “your e-mail of May 29th. “As you know, I was placed on administrative leave on April 15th...and instructed not to have contact or any interaction with the police department. I was absent from the police department for about 6 weeks while the department was being run by Major Parella,” said Tavares statement. Tavares returned to work on Friday, May 24th, of the Memorial Day week-end, as ordered by the commission. “I returned to work and committed a significant amount of time try-ing to get brought up to speed on activities during my absence. This included working with IT (technicians) to get access back to my computer and having numerous meetings with police officers, Major Parella, Lieutenant Philbin of the state police and others...”,

said tavares. tavares also said that he sent a memo to all officers in which “I once again committed myself to working with them in an appropriate, responsible and professional manner...”. Saturday (May 25th), Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day) were scheduled days off. Tavares told Graczykowski that he still “continued during the week-end to get caught up...for my six week absence. I made time to march in the Memorial Day parade to honor our veterans. On Tuesday, May 28th, you complained that I had not provided you with a bi-weekly report for a period of time I had not been working, as you knew full well.” Tavares’ response to the city manager went on to say, “most disturbing is that when I met with you and other Department Heads on May 28th, you did not acknowledge me or say anything to me on any matter. I felt you were icing me or isolating me,” said Tavares.

In a memo sent to all police officers, tavares addressed the entire situation. “The vast majority of you have performed as the true professional that you are. I am proud of what we have accomplished in these trying times. Unfortunately...outside influ-ences have attempted to interfere with the operations of this fine department,” he said. “I realize that some of you were intimidated into not marching in the Memorial Day Parade and now you are being pressured into a “no confidence vote” even before learning the true facts. I didn’t ask for the RI State Police to come here but I will work to be fair with everyone,” he added. “My door is always open to all.” In Tavares’ letter to Graczykowski, he takes a serious tone. “I will contest this warning and express my displeasure to my attorney regarding the hostile and abusive work environment that includes disparate treatment...from you. I have never received a reprimand in over 32 years of police service.” Tavares issued a warning, of sorts, himself. “You have kicked it up a notch...”.

At that point, The Reporter withheld pursuing the matter deeply as both parties “wanted some time” to work things out. However, all efforts to end the dispute seem very distant at this point. The dispute now centers around the fact that the State Police exonerated city councilors Tom Rose and Chrissy Rossi for pressuring the city manager to fire the police chief in lieu of receiving an employment contract. Graczykowski has acknowledged applying for at least one job elsewhere. However, the police chief’s attorney, Thomas McAndrew, has pressed the point that the state police indicated that both Rose and Rossi were “uncooperative” during their inves-tigation. The manager and police chief have each released corre-spondences to The Reporter. McAndrews wants all the particulars in the case to take a lie detector’s test.

“... with all due respect to Attorney McAndrew, the investiga-tion of alleged improprieties and irregularities of the profession-als is best left to professionals. The Rhode Island State Police conducted exactly such professional investigations twice in East Providence with respect to Police Department matters, one before and another during this Administration’s tenure. Both yielded no credence to recklessly spoken, and never substantiated allegations of corruption. This is a testament to the integrity of the City of East Providence Police department officers and City officials,” wrote Graczykowski in a letter to McAndrew. “It is the City’s position that since no wrongdoing could be proven, both the East Providence Police officers and City officials have been cleared of any alleged improprieties and irregularities.” McAndrews responses to Grac-zykowski have been hinting at a lawsuit; “Your conduct has, and continues to, undermine the (Police) Chief and his effectiveness and, further, you have expressly and impliedly disparaged him in a manner which is inconsistent with the numerous accomplishments in his career. It is apparent to me that we will soon find ourselves in litigation in an appropriate forum if this unrelenting course of conduct continues,” said McAndrews letter in part.

City Legislative Delegation Stops “AFO” CzarFiscal Advisor Instead

For several months there has been concern and behind the scenes deliberations about the state law governing budget commissions, which mandated the hiring of an expensive administrative and finance officer (afo). the position would be created upon the budget commission leaving the city. The AFO would co-exist with the city manager. Initially, the city would have born the total expense for the AFO. This, on the heels of the state’s “surprise” $250,000 “bill” to the city for budget commission staffers.

RI House and Senate amendments have changed the law in question and the amended version was signed by Governor Chafee on July 15th. The changes were pushed by Senate and House Finance Chairs Daniel DaPonte and Helio Melo, respectively. City Manager Peter Graczykowski was happy to see this change as he released a statement on the matter. “Important changes to the fiscal Stability act, specifically Section 45-9-10 of the Rhode Island General Laws, are good news to the City of east Providence and its taxpayers,” said Graczykowski. “ Thanks to the amendments, in East Providence, when the Budget Commission leaves, the position of administrative and finance officer (afo) will not be appointed. Instead, a fiscal advisor will assist the City and Schools with monitoring the overall budgetary and financial administration, and fiscal health of the City.” the appoint-ment of a fiscal advisor is for a five year period and half of the cost will be assumed by the state. The city will also resume control over most personnel matters. “The appointment of a fiscal advisor will provide an opportunity for east Providence to retain an extension of fiscal oversight that should be viewed positively by rating agencies; while not creating a position with duplicative duties and unnecessary financial burden to the taxpayers. also, personnel matters are not under the jurisdiction of this position, but properly with the City and Schools. Most importantly, the fiscal advisor will be helpful to the City and Schools in adhering to the structurally balanced five-year fiscal stability plan developed by the Budget Commission,” said Graczykowski.

“I would especially like to thank Chairman DaPonte and Chairman Melo, Senator Conley, and Representatives amore and Kazarian for their hard work in crafting and ensur-ing passage of this important legislation; as well as Assistant Mayor Rose for his tireless advocacy on this issue,” added Graczykowski in his statement.

In My OpinionAfter a recent visit to Pawtuxet Village it became clear to me the

potential for Riverside Square. we are a waterfront community but in dire need for local residents to not only talk about the promise of a Renaissance, but to take action! A little research clearly veri-fies we are already way above average with affordable housing!

There always seems to be some hidden political agenda. Ideals of change one may want to consider is a leisurely stroll along an at-tractive Coffee depot of our own, a Basta (or some other restaurant) since there is only one within a 6 mile radius, a nice Fish Market, deli, + Barber shop, dog grooming, antique stores. Ideas are limitless. It can be a depressing drive to witness junk cars, smoky stores and Christmas lights. I implore neighbors who invested money in their properties, have your voices heard and attend these town meetings. Reach out to investors. A Seafood restaurant near the Carousel would also improve our image. Change is good! We are not a rundown Carnival and I am growing tired of being referred to as a River Rat!

Continued from the Cover...The Coney Island of the East Coast

Crescent Park, Vanity Fair, Boyden Heights, Hunts MillsBy Bob Rodericks

George Boyden opened Crescent Park in 1886 and increasingly added new rides and attractions until it became Rhode Island’s 2nd most popular amusement park in 1893. Rocky Point was opened in the late 1840’s in Warwick, RI just across the bay from Crescent Park. Boyden named the park for its’ crescent shaped beach. Rocky Point closed in 1995. Boyden’s Crescent Park boasted of the largest dance hall on the eastern shore. He had Wild West shows, a midway, and to support the new craze at the time, he built a bicycle racing track. Boyden contracted Charles I.d. Looff to construct a carousel in 1892 and another in 1895. Crescent Park became the site for which Looff built and shipped his carousels across the country. Buyers came to Crescent Park and picked out the kind of horses they wanted duplicated for their own carousels. Loof moved his headquarters to Long Beach, California in 1910. of the over 50 carousels that Loof built in his lifetime, the Crescent Park version remains one of the few remaining in operation in the world. Looff’s first carousel was built on the pier at Crescent Park and doubled as a sample to perspective buyers from other parks. It was later moved to Hunt’s Mills in Rumford where another smaller amusement park operated. But the larger and grander version still sits in Riverside, having been named as a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Hunt’s Mills today is a picturesque place along the Ten Mile River for residents to relax and sits next to the East Providence Historical Society’s headquarters. However, from 1900 to 1920 or so, Hunt’s Mills featured a Looff Carousel (from Crescent Park), dance hall, shooting galleries and amusement rides. Today there is very little evidence there of such.

Boyden’s Crescent Park housed much more than the Looff Carousel. The park became famous for its’ shore dinner hall, bandstands, roller skating, boat rides, large midway, roller coaster, haunted houses and many other rides and attractions. Crescent Park’s first dark ride was an old Mill attraction named Rivers of Venice, installed by then park owner Charles I.d. Looff, Jr. in the 1920s. Looff, Jr. was the son of Charles I.d. Looff. Young Charles had worked for his father and was a great horse carver in his own right, extending his creative talents to build other rides at the park including a small roller coaster, the Flying Toboggan, across the midway from his father’s 1895 carousel. Looff’s Rivers of Venice was located halfway down the midway. The ride was planned to resemble Venice, Italy but the interior of the ride hosted scenes of world history including the Lewis and Clark expedition. Boyden wanted visitors to focus more on the park than the water so he had Looff place the carousel in its’ current location, across the street from the bay. The 400 foot dock remained for boat rides and to unload patrons from ferries but eventually fell into disrepair.

In 1901 the Hope Land Company purchased the park. Under the leadership of Fred Dexter, the majestic “New England As-sociation of Arts and Crafts Hall” was built in 1902. During this period Looff added rides such as the “flying toboggan” and the “Rivers of Venice”. dexter died in 1906 and Hope Land Company appointed R.A. Harrington to run the park. The park was bustling with patrons that were brought from trolleys and steamships from all over New England and New York. In 1914, the son of Charles I.d. Looff (Charles Looff) built the new “Shore dinner Hall”. Charles Looff took ownership of the park in 1920.. the younger Looff began

expansion of the Amusement Park, by adding a roller rink and the “alhambra Ballroom”. Looff died in 1925. Beacon Manufacturing assumed ownership, but had moved their operations south. John Clare was appointed manager of the park. The park remained un-der this structure for over two decades. During this time, Dominic Spadola was building many of the enchanting rides of Crescent Park. The “Tumble Bug” and others were crafted by Mr. Spadola. Crescent Park hit hard times in the war years (1941-45). Attendence was way down and materials were scarce. In 1951, the park was purchased by the Crescent Park Realty Company. Management responsibility of the park now belonged to Arthur Simmons and Fred McCusker. In 1966 the park was sold to Melvin T. Berry.

One of the constants at Crescent Park has been 77 year old Edward Serowik of Riverside. Serowik has worked at the park since 1948 or so. “Since I was 12 to 14 years old I worked at the park setting pins at the bowling alley and other odd jobs. At 15 I was working on the Merry-Go-Round. I was the last hire of Mr. Looffs’s daughter,” said Serowik during a recent interview and behind the scenes tour of the carousel. “After high school I continued to work at the park. I became ride supervisor and head of maintenance for the entire park.” In 1972, Serowik was hired by the school department and eventually became head of maintenance for the high school, a job he held for 30 years. “While working full time for the schools, I continued to work part time at Crescent Park. I’ve seen a lot in my years here,” he recalled pensively. “When the park closed in 1977 it was sad to me and to so many. It was boarded up and remained closed for years. Today, Serowik keeps the place going and has filled the carousel with hundreds of pictures and memorabilia from the park’s early days. Patrons often visit him in his very small, clut-tered office to view pictures and chat about the history of Crescent Park. His personal knowledge and collection is extensive. And then came the lawsuit...” he said with a slight smile.

The lawsuit was a grass-roots effort by 5 Riverside residents to “save Crescent Park”. A large auction was held in March of 1979. The Carousel was doomed to be torn down with the rest of the park. But local residents, Gail Durfee, Jobel (Tracy) Aguiar, Richard Lund, Linda Mcentee, & Robin Peacock fought back. while most of Crescent Park was auctioned off in 1979, a fire destroyed much of the midway in 1980. And in 1984 the vacant shore dinner hall burned down. Arson was suspected. The “Save our Carousel Com-mittee” led by the “Crescent Park Five” concentrated on an effort to at least save and preserve the Looff Carousel. Many proposals were floated to city leaders and several did not include keeping the carousel. Contacted for this story, Gail Durfee did not want to say much. “I’ve pretty much been taken out of the loop these days,” she said. Durfee did have a few comments however. “Our goal was to save the carousel and some prime waterfront land for the public. That was our goal,” she said. After a long legal battle, in which former state Attorney General, Arlene Violet represented the group, a compromise was reached in Superior Court. The carousel was saved and the city was given about 7 acres of bay front land for open space and almost 4 acres around the carousel itself. In turn, developer Kelly & Picerne got to build Section 8 housing for the elderly and handicapped near the carousel in a complex now called Crescent Park Manor. Individual homes and more upscale condos were built on the Bullocks Point avenue side of the road. the developer bought the land from the city for about $825,000. former city manager, earl Sandquist and city Mayor ed Langton were opposed to keeping the carousel or any of Crescent Park open, according to Durfee. And thus, the historic Crescent Park Looff Carousel was saved and now thrives. the Crescent Park five, as they been called, were recently inducted into the EPHS Hall of fame for their efforts to save the Looff Carousel.

And since the carousel reopened in July of 1984, the newly formed carousel commission has counted on Ed Serowik and others to keep its’ 118 year old merry-go-round working safely. “we got a $1 million grant from (former) Representative Patrick Kennedy. we replaced the foundation under the carousel and also added a sprinkler system and new electric. Three years ago we replaced the 115 year old gears. We’re keeping it going,” said a proud Serowik as he went to speak to a mom who was planning a child’s birthday party at the carousel. This year the city will be making exterior repairs and repainting the building. “Since the budget commission has left we seem to be moving again, getting things done. They (budget commission) had stopped us from doing a lot here,” Serowik noted. Serowik’s son, Edward, Jr. is now the carousel manager, following in his father’s footsteps.

Two other amusement parks dotted Riverside’s waterfront. Vanity Fair and Boyden Heights. Trying to build upon the success of Crescent Park, George Boyden built Boyden Heights on the water at the end of what is now Boyden Blvd. across from Bay View Acad-emy. Boyden Heights was similar to Crescent Park in its piecemeal design, but it was also a typical park with many of the same rides and events as Vanity Fair. Boyden Heights was even more doomed than Vanity Fair. Although it was a typical park, it never caught on. George Boyden, after being forced out of Crescent Park, made a try near Squantum Point. He constructed “boardwalks and a pier, a shore dinner hall, rides, and a dance hall, but by December of 1902 he was bankrupt.” The park is now a residential area, but at one time had a scenic railway, a dance hall, and even diving horses! It had only survived a year. Now the park is gone and all that remains is a house that was converted from the bandstand.

Vanity Fair developers had big ideas. It sat about where the Silver Spring golf course is now. ‘Vanity Fair is the most ambitious, grandiose amusement park north of Coney Island’, shouted out ads for the new park. The park opened in 1907. It had all the rides including a Chute the Chute, roller coaster, and carousel. It boasted a hotel, boardwalk, dinner hall, Wild West Show, dance hall, circus, an Indian congress, and wild animal area. It had sideshows like the

baby incubator, borrowed from the idea at Coney Island. Perhaps one of the most spectacular events ever was the “Fighting the Flames.” “Fighting the Flames” was a mock city that would, every afternoon, have flames shoot from gas jets and actors would call for help, followed by an exciting rescue by the “fire fighters,” who had the actors jump into nets, arms of fire fighters, or were carried to safety. The developers over extended themselves as it also set itself apart by charging admission, having a planned midway, and an overall design scheme. The midway was surrounded by white buildings with lights outlining each structure. Vanity Fair was doomed to fail. It went into receivership in its first year. It struggled on for two years until in 1910 it went bankrupt. By 1915, Standard Oil bought the land and created an oil tank farm. Oil storage tanks now took up a good part of the East Providence waterfront erasing much of the scenic bay front views of the past. Potential waterfront development ongoing in the city may try to soon reclaim some of the early waterfront beauty found on East Providence’s long coast line.

All that was left was Crescent Park. The story of Crescent Park is not unlike that of other parks in the area, and like others it was badly damaged by the 1938 hurricane. It thrived during the 1950s, though, and did not begin to decline until the 1970s when changing tastes, neglect, and financial difficulties made it hard for the park to survive. In 1962, the Satellite Ride broke free of its axis and injured several visitors. One former park patron has become an expert on Crescent Park and amusement parks throughout the country. George LaCross now lives in Barrington but grew up in east Providence and has built a web site called “laffinthedark.com”. “I grew up in East Providence, and Crescent Park was in my backyard. Well, not really. If you walked 100 feet up my street, turned right and walked straight for four miles, you would end up at Crescent Park. It took but minutes for us to get there by car. Maybe a half hour or so by bicycle. So, as a kid, I felt like Crescent Park was part of my neighborhood. Actually, I felt like I had my own Disneyland down the street!”, says part of an introduction on LaCross’ web site. LaCross continues; “for those of us growing up nearby, Crescent Park wasn’t just an amusement park, it was a way of life. And the park had a very short life if you were born in the mid-1950s; it closed after the 1977 season. But it helped shape who I am today and it sparked my lifelong fascination with dark rides and funhouses.” LaCross liked the gorilla in the Riverboat ride so much that he bought it at the park auction and restored it. “I bought the original gorilla and restored in 1979. The gorilla would lunge at riders with the help of a shot of compressed air. It showed up at the end of the Bourbon Street scene in the ride as a result of a “voodoo curse” which was a recurring theme throughout the ride.” Yes, LaCross still has that child-like twinkle in his eye when talking about Crescent Park.

and so it remains that little kids like George LaCross, don Gregory, Ed Serowik Sr. and Jr. have grown up, but they and thousands of other big kids still enjoy talking about Crescent Park. Many go back for a nostalgic carousel ride or some chowder and clam cakes. The carousel commission relies mostly on donations to stay in operation. Annual events like Movies in The Park, Tree Lighting and Santa’s visit, Puppet Shows, Saturday Night Classic Car Shows and Food and Wine Pairing help to raise funds. More information on schedules, etc., can be found at the carousel or by calling 435-7518. One can also email: [email protected]. One tradition that continues after 118 years, is tied to academics. Kids bringing their report cards to the carousel ticket booth in June, will get a free ride for every A and B. There are no more boat rides though or trolley cars and trains bringing thousands to Riverside. But the carousel is open on Wednesdays through Sundays, from 12 noon until 8 p.m. A snack bar is open and if you listen to the 118 year old carousel organ play and watch the kids having fun trying for the brass ring, you are almost transported back to the golden age of Crescent Park. Almost.

Fiscal Stability Act Changes Helpful To East Providence

News from East Bay CommunityAction Program

East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) presented two 2013 Vision Awards and announced its 2013 Public Service Award at the Tenth Annual Seaside Gala held Thursday, June 13 at Castle Hill Inn in Newport.

The Seaside Gala, EBCAP’s major fundraising event of the year, also featured Michele Muscatello, WPRI Eyewitness News Meteorologist as auctioneer. Entertainment was provided by the Mike Moran Band.

Bill and Marlene Murphy of Jamestown served as Honorary Co-Chairs of the event.

Receiving Vision Awards were Shaw’s market in Riverside and United Healthcare Community Plan. It was also announced that U.S. Senator Jack Reed will be awarded the 2013 Public Service Award.

Shaw’s received a Vision award for its significant contribution to the EBCAP food pantry at 100 Bullocks Point Avenue. Each month Shaw’s donates approximately 2,000 pounds of meat including chicken, bacon, fish and sausage. there is enough donated that that every one of the 700 hundred households served by the pantry can have choices of meat they serve their families and loved ones.

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan is a key partner of the New-port Family and Child Opportunity Zone (NFCOZ). The NFCOZ provides early childhood services, after school and vacation camps, parent support and education, health and wellness activities, and connections to community services. UnitedHealthcare’s support has afforded families in Newport access to health education materi-als focused on healthy living and wellness activities. Additionally these same families are helped in navigating and understanding the Rhode Island’s Medicaid programs.

United States Senator Jack Reed will receive the 2013 eBCaP Public Service Award, in recognition of his outstanding record of

Important changes to the fiscal Stability act, specifically Sec-tion 45-9-10 of the Rhode Island General Laws, are good news to the City of East Providence and its taxpayers. The House Bill No. 6310, sponsored by Representatives Melo, amore, Kazarian, Baldelli-Hunt and Phillips; takes effect upon passage and was signed into law by Governor Lincoln d. Chafee on July 15, 2013. The Senate Bill No. 984 SubA, sponsored by Senators DaPonte, Conley, Picard and Cote; mirrored the House Bill version.

Thanks to the amendments, in East Providence, when the Budget Commission leaves, the position of administrative and finance officer (afo) will not be appointed. Instead, a fiscal advi-sor will assist the City and Schools with monitoring the overall budgetary and financial administration, and fiscal health of the City. The existence of this advisor does not remove any duties from existing City positions; and is more compatible with the City Council – City Manager form of government in East Providence or similar municipalities.

the fiscal advisor will be appointed by and report to the State Director of Revenue, when she determines in writing that the

financial condition of the City has improved to a level such that the Budget Commission is no longer needed. The appointment is for five years, and the State will reimburse the City 50% of the position’s cost annually.

the appointment of a fiscal advisor will provide an opportunity for east Providence to retain an extension of fiscal oversight that should be viewed positively by rating agencies; while not creating a position with duplicative duties and unnecessary financial burden to the taxpayers. Also, personnel matters are not under the jurisdic-tion of this position, but properly with the City and Schools. Most importantly, the fiscal advisor will be helpful to the City and Schools in adhering to the structurally balanced five-year fiscal stability plan developed by the Budget Commission.

the east Providence Legislative delegation, as well as City Council and School Committee members who have pursued this meaningful change, are credited with amending the law in a way that will benefit their constituents. I would especially like to thank the Chairman DaPonte and Chairman Melo, Senator Conley, and Representatives amore and Kazarian for their hard work in crafting and ensuring passage of this important legislation; as well as As-sistant Mayor Rose for his tireless advocacy on this issue.

leadership and advocacy on important issues affecting all Rhode Islanders including the Low-Income Home energy assistance Program, Weatherization, Head Start and the Community Health Center programs.

The Rhode Island Military Organization (RIMo) Military Lounge at t.f. Green airport will be opening in the very near future and be the host to more than 10,000 Armed Forces members annually. This facility will have two managers and a staff of volunteers to attend to our customers’ needs. Built and appointed by volunteers and community donors, this space was graciously provided by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), a proud supporter of military mem-bers and Veterans. This facility will provide refreshments, sundry items, entertainment, computer access and a respite for traveling military service members, Veterans and their families.

This facility will be staffed by community volunteers from numerous organizations or those individuals who just want to support our military in a small way. Volunteers are required to fill out the RIMo application, ac-quire a background check and go through a training class. They will then be able to dictate the number of hours worked each month. We are looking for those who can dedicate 4 volunteer hours per month. The success of this lounge will be in providing superior service to our clients who so de-serve a special space for their dedication to our state and nation.

People in the NewsAdditional College-Sponsored Merit

Scholarship Winners Named(Evanston, Illinois) Today, National Merit Scholarship Corpora-

tion (nmsc) announced approximately 1,800 additional winners of National Merit Scholarships financed by colleges and universities. These Merit Scholar designees join approximately 2,500 other col-lege-sponsored award recipients who were announced in late May

officials of each sponsor college selected their scholarship winners from among the Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program who will attend their institution.

College-sponsored awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institu-tion financing the scholarship.

This year, 190 colleges and universities are sponsoring about 4,300 Merit Scholarship awards. Sponsor colleges include 113 private and 77 public institutions located in 44 states and the District of Columbia.

this final group of winners brings the number of 2013 National Merit Scholars to more than 7,800. These distinguished high school graduates will receive scholarships for undergraduate study worth a total of approximately $35 million. In addition to college-sponsored awards, two other types of National Merit Scholarships were offered—2,500 National Merit® $2500 Scholarships, for which all Finalists competed, and over 1,000 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for finalists who met criteria specified by their grantor organizations.

2013 National Merit Scholarship CompetitionThis year’s competition for National Merit Scholarships began

when approximately 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools took the 2011 Preliminary sat/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying test (psat/nmsqt®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. In September 2012, about 16,000 Semifinalists were named on a state representational basis in numbers proportional to each state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors. Semifinalists were the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represented less than one percent of the nation’s seniors.

to become a finalist, each Semifinalist had to complete a detailed scholarship application, which included writing an essay, describing leadership positions and contributions in school and community activities, showing an outstanding academic record, and being endorsed and recommended by a high school official. Semifinalists also had to take the sat and earn scores that confirmed their performance on the initial qualifying test. from the Semifinalist group, about 15,000 attained Finalist standing, and more than half of the Finalists were chosen to receive National Merit Scholarships.

NMSC, a not-for-profit corporation that operates without govern-ment assistance, was established in 1955 to conduct the National Merit Scholarship Program. Over the past 58 years, more than 300,000 outstanding young men and women have won National Merit Scholarships worth over $1 billion. the majority of awards offered each year are underwritten by approximately 440 indepen-dent corporate and college sponsors that support nmsc’s efforts to recognize scholastically talented youth and encourage the pursuit of academic excellence.

The price for sponsoring a tee is $100.”

Gabrielle Dinsmore Heart & Hope Fund

Buying A Box Of Girl Scout Cookies Sends More Children To Camp

This SummerPROVIDENCE, R.I., (July 23, 2013) – Every year, consumers

with watering mouths anxiously await the annual Girl Scout cookie sale. But, besides satisfying cravings, what else does the cookie sale really do?

When a Girl Scouts sells you cookies, she is developing con-fidence, financial literacy, decision-making, and business skills, including setting sales goals, creating marketing plans, and decid-ing how to spend the proceeds within their troops. Girls can use a portion of proceeds to help pay for summer camp, and troops may use proceeds for trips and events

Girls also learn about philanthropy, with troops having the option to donate a portion of their cookie sale proceeds to a community service project. This year, the girls of GSRI chose the Gabrielle dinsmore Heart & Hope fund as the beneficiary of the Cookie Sale Community Service Project. The Fund is named for Gabrielle dinsmore, the first child of Louise and Jeff, who was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect days after her birth. Louise and Jeff made sure Gabrielle had the most normal childhood possible and celebrated every holiday and birthday until she passed away at age 3 as a result of complications from heart disease. Donating almost $600 more than last year, Girl Scout troops presented a check for

Back to School FairAs you may know, the East Providence

School District has suffered many budgetary setbacks over the past few years. Unfortu-nately, these economic hardships are not limited solely to our beloved schools. There are many members of our community that continue to endure financial hardships with no immediate reprieve in sight. With this in mind, BridgePointe Christian Church is part-nering with local businesses and individu-als to host a “Back to School Fair” for the students and teachers of Kent Heights and Emma G. Whiteknact Elementary Schools. The goal is to provide new backpacks, lunch boxes and school supplies to the students as well as essential classroom supplies for all of their teachers.

The “Back to School Fair” will take place on Saturday, august 24th at Kent Heights Elementary School from 9:00 a.m. to noon. During the fair, the students, along with their families and teachers, will enjoy a pancake breakfast, collect their school supplies, learn how to make healthy snacks courtesy of Johnson and Wales students, and receive “Back to School” haircuts…free of charge!

If you are interested in partnering with the “Back to School Fair”, you may do so in the following ways:

Arrange a school supply drive in your neighborhood or at your business.

Bring a donation of school supplies to The BridgePointe Center at 865 Waterman Ave, East Providence during business hours (M-Th, 9a-4p).

Sleeping Tips ForBack-To-School Success

(BPT) - Did you know the best preparation for back to school is a good night's sleep? Lack of sleep can affect a child's performance, attention, learning, behavior and biological functions, experts say. In fact, recent studies show that American students might be falling behind in school due to a lack of shut-eye.

With all the excitement and stress that accompanies the new school year, many children slip into a pattern all too familiar to tired parents. One more book, one more glass of water, one more TV show ... the child who continually resists going to bed experiences difficulty in falling asleep, resulting in what doctors identify as limit-setting sleep disorder.

Parents can help children through the transition by creating an enjoyable bedtime routine that's fun and relaxing, says dr. Laura Sergis, pediatrician for the Children's Medical Group and advisory board member at Cloud b, creators of award-winning products de-signed to help children sleep. The all important routine can include family story time with favorite books, sing-alongs to favorite lullabies and cuddly companions that alleviate night time fears with soothing sounds and lights. Incorporating a trusted buddy like Cloud b's new Twilight Carz in the bedtime routine helps children transition from playtime to bedtime with its fun push and play action by day and its soothing starlight projection by night.

Sleep expert Kim west, licensed certified social worker, also known as the Sleep Lady, recommends that all electronics be turned off an hour before bedtime. Homework and getting bags together should be done before the one-hour electronics off time - the one hour should be for relaxing activities including bathing, washing up, reading, talking about the day, etc. Read stories like the new Scholastic classic, "My Turtle and Me", inspired by Cloud b's Twilight Turtle, an adorable plush that projects a soothing view of the night sky to comfort children to a peaceful night's sleep.

Parents can add another magical element to the routine with Cloud b's new Twilight Turtle Tunes that plays personalized lullabies featuring favorite songs, soothing sounds and even the voices of loving parents or caregivers as it projects a starry sky above. Parents put it all together on the Twilight Turtle Tunes app that delivers the magic to the special edition toy via Bluetooth.

In planning the ideal bedtime, West suggests parents do "the math backwards." For example, if your 2-year-old needs to be up at 7 a.m. to get dressed and out the door to daycare, then he should be asleep by 8 p.m. (This age needs, on average, 11 hours at night and two hours during the day.)

She notes that it also goes without saying that parents should eliminate caffeine from their children's diets. If it can't be done com-pletely, then no caffeine after 3 p.m. Dinner should be at least two hours before bedtime so that your child gets a chance to digest.

Finally, exercise during the day does help a child sleep better, but try to avoid exercise an hour before bedtime. definitely avoid rough-housing, which can really rile up a child just when you want him to be settling down.

as parents find the best routine and stick to it, they'll discover that the whole family is functioning better. Bedtime may become the best time of the day - a calm, quiet moment before slumber to make great memories and strengthen the bond between parents and children. -For more information on sleep-friendly toys and products, visit www.cloudb.com.

A Fun Approach To Teaching Kids Nutrition Wisdom

1. Make mealtime special"In our fast-paced lives, we have some-

how lost the concept that eating is not just about the actual food. It's about the con-nection, the time spent enjoying every bite, laughing, talking and sharing. Our families need this time together," Daulter says.

Create a routine. Consider starting din-ner at a similar time each night. Designate different nights for different types of meals, such as vegetarian Monday, or make-your-own pizza Saturdays. Have children help with the meal prep and cleanup, if age-appropriate. Light a candle during dinner, and allocate plenty of time for conversa-tion - it's one of the best ways to bond with loved ones.

2. Adopt a healthy morning routineWhile most families are time-crunched

on weekday mornings, it's important to make time for breakfast so kids get the nu-trition they need before heading to school. Healthy breakfasts incorporate whole grains, protein, fresh fruit, and supplements that support brain and body health.

"Supplements can be an easy way for mom and dad to ensure that their children get the important nutrients they need, espe-cially during busy mornings," says Daulter. "I recommend giving kids a boost of brain-building nutrition with a kid-friendly omega-3 supplement. I like chewable, strawberry-flavored Nordic Naturals Children's DHA.

(BPT) - As children across the country head back to school, life for families be-comes a little more hectic. Just because days are busy, don't let nutrition fall by the wayside. Teaching children nutritious eating habits now can mean a lifetime of health, plus it can be a lot of fun to eat, laugh and spend time together.

"The more parents can do to involve children in the process, the decisions on what they are eating and where their food comes from, the better off they will be at helping them learn reverence and appreciation for food," says Anni Daulter, professional cook, nutri-tion expert, and author of several books, including "The Organic Family Cookbook."

Here are some simple yet effective tips from Daulter to get your kids excited about nutrition and help them make good food choices:

3. Create tasty school lunches"When your children are fed better, they learn better," says

Daulter. "Their bodies react to being fed good pure foods that give them the fuel they need to get through each and every school day."

Save time by making lunches the night before or do a big Sunday cut-and-chop day for raw ingredients throughout the week. Here is a sample of what you'll find in daulter's children's lunch baskets:

Black Bean Soup Lunch * Classic Caesar salad * Homemade wheat parmesan chips * Raw: Asian pears and clementines

4. Have healthy snacks on hand"Kids bodies tend to be more in tune with their internal signals

and they inherently seem to know that they need more little meals throughout the day, rather than three big meals," Daulter says. "eating smaller portions frequently throughout the day provides more energy when we need it and is easier for our bodies to digest."

Daulter keeps several small kids tables throughout the house so her children can nibble on snacks while they continue to play. What sorts of things does she like to feed her kids for snacks? Nuts, homemade fruit roll-ups, pumpkin seeds, veggie popcorn, fresh fruits, carrot sticks, and cheese are all healthful snacks that keep kids' bellies full.

5. Teach healthy eating habits through activity"My kids and their friends love to cook and help us prepare

meals, and the more we include them in the process, the more invested they become in their own health," says Daulter.

You may be surprised by how excited your children get by being involved in the entire meal process. When you go to the grocery store or farmers market, have children help pick out veggies. If you grow your own, let them pick the produce and help wash, peel and prep it for meals.

"Even the youngest child can help mix in flour for fresh bread or learn to whip her own honey butter," says Daulter. "These tasty teachings will not only give them practical and valuable life skills, but will leave them with loving memories of family cooking days that were spent laughing, creating, and of course, eating!"

How You Can Help

Busy Summer at TAPINSummer continues to be a very busy time at TAPIN (Touch A

Person In Need). the emergency food Closet is having a difficult time keeping up with requests by east Bay area clients trying to feed vacationing children not only for regular items such as tuna, peanut butter, pasta, sauce, etc. but also for special extras like ce-real, soups, snacks and juices as well as toiletries and paper goods.

While the children might not be looking forward to the end of summer and the return to school their parents will be trying to gather clothes including new underwear, socks, shoes, etc. Donations of these as well as school supplies and new or gently used backpacks would be greatly appreciated. Please be sure all clothes and shoes are clean and in good condition. The agency tries to provide cloth-ing in sizes infant thru 16, but due to space constraints is only able to carry seasonally appropriate items. Donors are asked to please hold their summer and winter clothes until they are in demand.

Furniture donations continue to be low, and while upholstered items cannot be stored at the facility they are still requested very often and may be placed by telephone. Non-upholstered items such as shelves, microwave carts, computer desks, bureaus, tables and chairs are placed as soon as they arrive and may be dropped off during regular office hours.

TAPIN would like to remind donors that there are new and attrac-tive Gift Cards available to give as Birthday, Anniversary, Memorial or other donations honoring a recipient in any denomination.

The agency is open from 9 to noon, Mon thru Fri and is located in the lower level of the Library building on County Rd in Barrington. Please drop off donations, stop in for a visit, or call 247-1444 during those hours for further information.

The Class PictureAnother summer is coming to an end. Most children begin a

new school year with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. There is shopping for new clothes and school supplies, and

returning to a school full of friends. There is anxiety in having a new teacher, new schedule, and new subjects to learn. Some children have a difficult time coping with the changes school brings, but will adjust after the first few days of school and start to make fun memories.

Imagine your child having to experience the emotions of the first day of school more than once a year! Now picture your child not only having to adjust to a new school, but a new neighborhood, new friends, and a different family with different rules from your own. Hard to think about, right? These are experiences many children living in foster care go through more than once in a school year.

It is unfortunate that all children are not able to live in safe and stable homes with parents who can meet their needs. Children who need to be removed from their families for any length of time have a lot of changes to cope with. Your children may even know a child who lives in a foster home or may meet one this year.

Children who live in foster care are not always able to participate in the same school year activities as children who live with their birth families. They aren’t always able to participate in after-school activities or community sports. They may not be able to go to a friend’s house after-school or go to a sleepover. They may not be

It’s this spirit, this insistence on great art, which has inspired so many artists and or-ganizations to take root here in the smallest state. It might be our birthday, but we want to celebrate all the wonderful theater across Rhode Island.”

Celebrity Club Remembered August 9th - Downtown Marriot

Free and Open to the PublicEight Providence teens will recreate the famous Celebrity Club

on Friday, August 9th, 2013 in a performance at the Downtown Marriot located at 1 Orms St., Providence. The show, entitled Celebrity Club Remembered, begins at 4pm and is free and open to the public.

Written and musically directed by world-renowned musicians Lynne Jackson & Michael Palter, and directed by extraordinary director of children’s musical theatre Robb Dimmick, the show pays tribute to jazz standards and the Celebrity Club, New england’s first integrated jazz club, founded in 1949 by Paul Filippi. Virtually everyone in the jazz world performed there, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Duke Ellington.

Paul Filippi’s son, Blake, says “my family is honored that the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society is recognizing the Celebrity Club’s significant contributions to positive race relations in Rhode Island. Some of the greatest musicians this nation has ever known performed to integrated crowds in a time of racial segregation, changing prevailing attitudes across the region.”

The show is produced by OPERAtunity, a program of Opera Providence and the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society. The performing teens have learned about the history of jazz and the major artists who created it. They have been trained in singing techniques (scatting, note-bending, breath control, vocal coloring and sustainability) by the musical directors, and gained stage and acting skills from OPERAtunity’s artistic director.

after the performance, a plaque unveiling ceremony will take place on the traffic island at the intersection of Randall and Charles Streets, a few yards from the former site of the Celebrity Club. It permanently enshrines this historic Rhode Island institution that was the location of barrier-breaking integration. the plaque unveiling ceremony takes place at 5:30pm.

The Rhode Island Black Heritage Society was founded in 1975 with a mission to preserve three centuries of African American history in the state. The Society has amassed an invaluable collection of artifacts that document African Americans’ achievements in military service, business, politics, the arts, and education. The Rhode Island Black Heritage Society encourages and promotes the study of African American history by hosting tours, exhibits, and lectures for the general public.

From the State HouseAssembly Approves

Financial Protections For Cancer Patients Taking

Oral Chemotherapy Treatments

State HoUSe – the General assembly passed companion bills today that require health plans to cover oral treatments for cancer at a rate comparable to standard intravenous (IV) chemotherapy.

Sponsored by Rep. Gregg Amore (D-Dist. 65, East Providence) and Sen. Gayle L. Goldin (d-dist. 3, Providence), the legislation aims to put emerging oral chemotherapy treatments on par with IV treatments, protecting patients’ accessibility to medicine and preventing additional financial hardship.

Oral chemotherapy is currently viewed as a prescription drug benefit, which requires patients to pay a large amount of the drugs’ cost. IV chemotherapy is treated as a medical benefit, essentially requiring insurers to issue a modest patient co-pay and a limit to annual out-of-pocket expenses. If enacted, the legislation could save cancer patients thousands of dollars for a treatment that serves the same purpose as the intravenous form.

Furthermore, the world has seen more and more success in recent years with targeted cancer therapies in the form of pills, and the new language is essential to keep up with the latest developments in health and science. A 2008 National Comprehensive Cancer Network report stated that oral chemotherapy treatments make up more than 25 percent of the 400 cancer medicines that are in the process of being tested.

Cosponsors of the House bill (2013-H 5354A) include Representatives Katherine S. Kazarian (d – dist. 63, east Providence), Helio Melo (D – Dist. 64, East Providence), Larry Valencia (d – dist. 39, Richmond, Hopkinton, Exeter) and Mia A. Ackerman (D – Dist. 45, Cumberland, Lincoln). Senators Christopher S. ottiano (D-Dist. 11, Portsmouth, Bristol), Paul V. Jabour (D-Dist. 5, Providence), Roger A. Picard (D-Dist. 20, Woonsocket, Cumberland) and Catherine Cool Rumsey (D-Dist. 34, Exeter, Charlestown, Hopkinton, Richmond, West Greenwich) cosponsor the Senate companion (2013-S 0428A). The bills have been sent to the governor for his signature.

House, Senate Leaders appoint Lawmakers to Commission To Study

Funding For State Bridge Maintenance

State HoUSe – Speaker of the House Gordon D. Fox and President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed announced their ap-pointments to the Special Legislative Com-mission to Study the Funding for Bridges today.

Senate members of the commission will include Senate Finance Chairman Daniel Da Ponte (D-Dist. 14, East Providence) and Senators Louis P. diPalma (d-dist. 12, Middletown, Little Compton, Newport, tiver-ton) and Christopher S. Ottiano (R-Dist.11, Portsmouth, Bristol). House members will include House Finance Chairman Helio Melo (D-Dist. 64, East Providence), and Representatives John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Portsmouth, Tiverton) and Antonio Gi-arrusso (R-Dist. 30, East Greenwich, West Greenwich).

The three remaining members of the special legislative commission will be the Department of Transportation Director Mi-chael Lewis, or a designee; Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) Ex-ecutive Director Buddy Croft, or a designee; and Department of Administration Director Richard Licht, or a designee.

Last year, the General assembly ap-proved a provision in the budget transferring the ownership of the Sakonnet River Bridge, which connects Tiverton and Portsmouth, to RITBA so that a toll could be placed on the bridge. Since then, a majority of the East Bay delegation and members of their com-munities have been vying for an equitable alternative to the tolls in order to maintain the area’s infrastructure and protect aquid-neck Island businesses.

Legislation approved this year calls for the creation of the special legislative commission, which will allow lawmakers and officials from the affected state depart-ments and agencies to come together for six months and map out various funding plans, potentially eradicating the need for a Sakonnet Bridge toll. The special legislative panel will not only study ways to fund East Bay bridges, but also seek a funding mecha-nism for all state bridges. The commission is required to report its findings to the General Assembly on or before Jan. 15, 2014.

Additionally, RITBA will have the au-thority to implement a 10-cent toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge in August so it can preserve future tolling options for the bridge while the commission works to find alterna-tives. The 10-cent toll cap will be in effect until April 1, 2014.

Lawmakers Call for Deeper Analysis Of

Business Tax IncentivesState HoUSe – the General

Assembly passed part of the Senate and House economic development packages today with the approval of legislation that would insert more accountability into the state’s handling of tax credit programs.

Sponsored by Senate Finance Chairman Daniel Da Ponte (D-Dist. 14, East Providence) and Rep. Teresa Tanzi (D-Dist. 34, South Kingstown, Narragansett) in the House, this legislation (2013-S 0734B, 2013-H 6066B) provides a systematic approach for evaluating whether the state’s tax incentives are truly fulfilling their intended purpose in a cost-effective manner through data collection and a comprehensive assessment.

“In order for state government to be truly effective in serving Rhode Islanders, the legislature needs to be presented with more economic data,” Senator Da Ponte said. “Otherwise, it’s impossible to craft the most useful policy and adapt to an ever-changing economic climate. This bill not only inserts more accountability in our budget and policymaking processes, but also ensures that state dollars are being channeled into incentives that are actually working to the taxpayers’ advantage.”

The proposed tax incentive evaluation would include:

The number of aggregate jobs associated with the taxpayers receiving the incentives;

The aggregate annual revenue taxpayers generate for the state through the direct taxes applied to them and their employees in relation to the incentives;

Statutory and programmatic goals of the incentives;

The number of taxpayers granted the incentives during the previous year;

And the value of the incentives listed by the North american Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code associated with the taxpayers receiving such benefit, if available.

For each evaluated tax incentive, the governor’s budget submission shall

Code Consistency Council Gets Green Light from General assembly

State HoUSe – the General assembly passed legislation today creating a Code Consistency Council, which will be charged with examining the state fire, building, elevator and other related codes for consistency.

The companion bills, which now head to the governor’s desk for a signature, establish a 16-member council with the state fire marshal and the Rhode Island building code commissioner serv-ing as co-chairpersons. The panel will meet regularly and present its findings and recommendations to the General assembly by March 31, 2014.

“Small business owners in this state have spoken loud and clear about the obstacles standing in the way of economic de-velopment, and one of their major points has been that there are onerous codes and regulations that make the process too difficult for entrepreneurs,” said Rep. Katherine S. Kazarian (d-dist. 63,

East Providence), primary sponsor of the House bill (2013-H 6323). “This council is the answer to that problem. This panel’s sole responsibility will be to look at our building and fire codes so we can identify and eradicate overlapping, contradictory, inconsis-tent and extraneous language. I’m pleased my colleagues have supported the bill and I look forward to seeing its contribution to Rhode Island’s economic progress.”

Sen. Paul W. Fogarty (D-Dist. 23, Glocester, Burrillville, North

Smithfield) sponsors the Senate companion (2013-S 0761A). Representatives Agostinho F. Silva (D-Dist. 56, Central Falls) and Raymond E. Gallison Jr. (D-Dist. 69, Bristol, Portsmouth) cospon-sor the House bill.

include a recommendation as to whether the tax incentive should be continued, modified or terminated. the analysis would also consist of a five-year projection of the potential impact on the state’s revenue stream, the costs to the state associated with those incentives, an estimate of how many benefits of the tax incentives remained in state borders, and whether General Assembly action would facilitate data collection in a way that would allow for better analysis of the economic investments.

“All states rely on incentives – whether they are tax credits, deductions or exemptions – to lure businesses to their communities and to encourage companies to take that leap and further invest in their expansion, employees or production capabilities,” Representative Tanzi said. “So when it comes to creating and exploring those incentives, Rhode Island should be mindful of all the variables at play. For that, we need our governor and state agencies to communicate with each other and provide the necessary information so we can all make informed decisions together.”

the legislation also calls on the director of the state office of Management and Budget to prepare a comprehensive review and inventory of all reports from the executive office and other state agencies filed with the General assembly. It provides that this inventory be presented to the state legislature as part of the annual budget submission. further, the act calls for a cost-benefit analysis be incorporated into the unified economic development report, which the office of Revenue analysis prepares each year.

Rite-Aid Drug Store ScamJune 2013

State police are warning of a scam involving a phony sweepstakes in which callers tell victims they’ve won money through the Rite-Aid drug store chain.

troopers from the Kittanning barracks say they’ve been alerted by Rite-Aid officials that the scam targeting an elderly western Pennsylvania woman on Saturday has happened in other areas, too.

Police say a caller from a phone number that has since been traced to Jamaica told the woman she had won $18,000 but had to purchase a “green dot card” for $500 to cover the taxes on her winnings. The cards are pay-in-advance devices that Rite-Aid customers can use legitimately like a debit card but which, in this case, was used to access the woman’s money.

Jury Duty ScamPass this on to your grown children and

anyone else you can think of. This has been verified by the fBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your e-mail address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses...s


for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced. The caller claims to be a jury duty coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the Scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen. The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states. This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system.

The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

Safe Guarding Your IdentityREMEMBER

You should never give out personal information to Someone who calls.

The Government will not and does not call for this or any other personal information

“When Worry Gets Out of Control”Generalized Anxiety Disorder

“I was worried all the time about everything. It didn’t matter that there were no real signs of problems; I just got upset. I was having trouble falling asleep at night, and I couldn’t keep my mind focused at work. I felt angry at my family all of the time. Something must be wrong with me.”

We all have concerns in our lives. We worry about family prob-lems, money, health, which school the kids should attend, issues at work, etc. People who live with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) are extremely worried about these and many other things, even when there is little or no reason to worry about them at all. They feel anxious simply trying to get through the day. They always feel that things will go badly, and the worry can keep them from doing everyday things like going to the grocery store, completing a necessary job around the house, or attending special events.

The signs and symptoms of GAD may begin during the teen or young adult years, and often times, doctors end up treating symp-toms without determining the real cause. Headaches and trouble falling asleep may be signs of many different illnesses, and it may take a number of visits or specialists to determine that GAD is the cause. A person living with GAD may:

Worry a great deal about everyday thingsHave trouble controlling their constant worriesKnow that they worry more than they shouldNot be able to relax and enjoy thingsHave a hard time concentratingBe easily startledHave trouble falling asleep or staying asleepFeel tired all of the timeHave headaches, muscle aches, stomach aches, or unex-

plained painsHave a hard time swallowingTremble, twitch, or shakeBe irritable, sweat profusely, and feel light-headed or out of

breathHave to go to the bathroom frequently.It is important to visit your primary care physician if you exhibit

any of the symptoms above to rule out that another physical prob-lem isn’t causing them. A referral to a mental health professional can be arranged through your physician or on your own, for a thorough clinical assessment.

Generally GAD is treated through psychotherapy, medication, or both. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), provided by a licensed therapist, is especially effective for treating GAD, by teaching a person different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situa-tions that help him/her feel less anxious or worried. A psychiatrist, working in concert with the therapist, may prescribe anti-anxiety medications and/or antidepressant medications, depending upon the severity of the symptoms. treatment is not “one size fits all” for everyone. Some people overcome their anxiety disorder through therapy alone, while others need a combination of therapy and medication. It is important that you discuss everything openly with your providers in order to focus your treatment plan accordingly.

Access to Care When You Need It:East Bay Center clinicians are always available by scheduled

appointment or through the Center’s “Walk-in” model of care to assist adults, children, and their families through any number of complicated issues.
