At its regular meeting on Mon-day, July 15, the Middletown Town Council voted 6 – 1 in favor of de-veloping a model for a regional high school for Newport County. Bruce Long voted in opposition. “It’s work that really suits the school department,” Long said.

The model is to incorporate all relevant features and issues such as funding, personnel, curricula, athletics, enrichment, and facilities. The resolution was drawn up in re-sponse to a memorandum from Councilors Richard Adams and Bar-bara VonVillas.

School Committee Chair The-resa Silveira Spangler asked coun-cil members to sit in on the school committee’s next meeting to help them come up with a plan. Span-gler said they have had talks with other island communities about shared school services. “The ‘re-gionalization’ word is out there, but

Waldo, that well-traveled deni-zen of multiple books, turned 25 last year. As part of the celebration, Candlewick Press, the publisher of the “Where’s Waldo?” books, ini-tiated a “Find Waldo” contest last summer in bookstores around the country, including Island Books at Wyatt Square in Middletown.

The event proved so popular that this year Island Books is again participating. Kids are invited to download a passport from Island Books’ website (islandbooksri.com) or stop into the store to pick one up. The passport gives directions to find Waldo at 25 locations on Aquidneck Island.

“But everyone had so much fun with it that Candlewick offered it again this year,” she said.

Public Welcome at RedwoodNewport’s Redwood Library and Athenaeum, established in 1747, is the oldest lending library in the

country. Although it is a privately-run library, it welcomes the public to visit inside and view its exten-sive collections.. To assuage any doubt that the public is welcome at Redwood, they have hung banners inviting guests to visit the illustrious facility.

The library was designed by famed architect Peter Harrison, who also did Touro Synagogue and the Brick Market building; in addition to its literary and historic treasures, the Redwood also boasts an ex-tensive portrait collection, including four by Gilbert Stuart. Visitors are welcome in the library at any time, says Communications Coordinator Gretchen Markert, and they offer a staff-guided tour of the facility every day at 2 p.m. for $5. For more information on the Redwood or to view programming infor-mation, visit redwoodlibrary.com.

Hundreds Race in Newport Regatta

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

“The Clagett mission is to pro-vide sailors with disabilities the opportunity to improve their skills

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

Sailors Shine at Clagett Regatta

The Newport Sailing Week con-cluded last weekend with New England’s premiere one-design event – the Newport Regatta. Sail Newport public sailing center host-ed the three-day event (July 12-14). A total of 148 races were run for the more than 260 boats that were competing on five courses on Nar-ragansett Bay. Five countries (USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and New Zeland) and 17 U.S. states were represented by the 873 regis-tered sailors. There were 21 one-de-sign classes featured in the racing: 2.4 Metre, 12 Metre, 49er, 505, A Cats, Byte CII, Etchells, Farr 30, F-18, J/22, J/24, J/70, Laser, Laser Radial, S Class, Star, Sunfish, Swan 42, Van-guard 15, Viper 640 and VX One.

Racing in the 17-strong J/24 fleet, local sailors Tim Healy and John Mollicone won their third consecutive Newport Regatta. They won all four of the races contested to take the victory by seven points over Mike Ingham of Rochester, N.Y. In doing so, the duo claimed the Dr.

Robin Wallace Trophy for best per-formance in the regatta.

Ten boats were on the starting line in the Farr 30 class which would see their North American Champi-on determined at the conclusion of racing. Winning two of the five rac-es sailed, Newport’s Jim Richardson was successful in reclaiming the North American title he last won in 2010. Three points out of first place, Annapolis sailor Rod Jabin finished second overall with 16 points; Pi-eter Taselaar (Scarsdale, N.Y.) was third with 18 points.

Winning the first eight races of the Byte CII series, 14-year-old Hen-ry Marshall of Auburndale, Mass., won the Byte CII North American Championship at the conclusion of 11 races in a fleet of 15 boats. A second-place finish in the final race of the series earned him the title on 10 points after his two worst finishes, a sixth and an 11th, were dropped. Sailing the Newport Re-gatta for the first time, and the Byte CII for only three weeks, Marshall

was using the event to prepare for the Byte CII World Championships which Sail Newport will host in Au-gust, as well as to fulfill his goal of qualifying for the 2014 Youth Olym-pic Games in Nanjing, China.

A seven-boat mixed fleet of sail-ors with disabilities and able-bod-ied competitors raced in the 2.4 Me-tre class’s debut appearance in the Newport Regatta. Britt Hall (Darien, Conn.,) won the 10-race series with 16 points, just one point ahead of Charlie Rosenfeld (Woodstock, Conn.) who is a member of the 2013 US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider. Third overall was Sandy Hayes of Scituate, Mass., with 22 points.

“It was a good chance to do a lot of starts,” said Newport’s Betsy Alison, the Paralympic Coach for the US Sailing Team. “Because the courses were fairly short, the fleet was tight, and there were lots of changes in position.” Alison also pointed out that the event was ex-cellent training for the 2016 Para-lympic hopefuls.

Aaron:Your bowl is actually a to-bacco humidor. It was made in Germany around 1905-1910 by the firm of Erhard & Sohne. The in-laid wood and brass is called intarsia. The factory produced lamps, desk blotters, boxes, cigarette objects, etc. with similar workmanship. The humidor has a value of around $600. – Federico Santi, partner, Drawing Room Antiques

Nurse Residency Program

Rhode Island’s first-of-its-kind statewide nurse residency program is accepting applications through July 31 for the fall program.

This nurse residency program, slated to begin in September, is the first in the nation where newly-licensed RNs will develop hands-on diverse skills across multiple healthcare settings. Together, the Rhode Island Action Coalition for the Future of Nursing and Stepping Up received $500,000 in grants to provide registered nurses with ad-ditional skills and experience.

Rhode Island is facing a critical shortage of nurses as more RNs re-tire and our population ages. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training forecasts that by 2018, more than 4,500 nurses will be needed to replace the RNs who will retire or leave the profession. The median salary for a registered nurse is around $64,500. Download an ap-plication at www.steppingupri.org.

During the first six months of his term, City Councilor Mi-chael T. Farley was relatively quiet. As a freshman council member among veteran colleagues, he seemed content

to take things slowly. Throughout the spring and into the budget process, Farley

weighed in occasionally on subjects like asking that area non-profits contribute more to the city in lieu of taxes, and revisiting the adoption of a homestead exemption to encourage more year-round home buyers.

But as the council closed in on approving their final 2013-14 budget, the freshman councilor began taking a more proactive approach.

Last week, Farley proposed seven resolutions that set off a flurry of behind-the-scenes activity among his fellow council members.

The resolutions included a number of ways to increase the city's bottom line – like reconsidering the city's lease arrangements with Discover Newport and the Newport Yacht Club for their proper-ties, increasing mooring permit fees, and seeking an increased tax payment from the East Bay Community Action Program.

Ultimately, Farley pursued only two of his proposals, but he promised to bring the rest back to the council at its first meeting in August.

As an attorney, Farley revels in a good debate, and some of his proposals – or the way he presents them – have been controver-sial.

Since he was elected, he has questioned the assessments of low-income housing parcels in the city's North End, challenged the School Committee to get their fiscal house in order, criticized on a number of occasions the management of 50 Washington Square, and suggested that the city disband its Sister City program.

Earlier this week, he provided councilors with an 18-page Pow-erpoint presentation entitled "Newport Yacht Club Lease – An Op-portunity to Review Payment Terms." In it, he challenged his fellow councilors to take advantage of a "once in 10 year opportunity" to renegotiate the city's lease arrangement with the local yacht club by the October deadline.

Farley's tact leaves much to be desired, but it's clear that, like the rest of the council, he's taking his responsibilities seriously.

Earlier this month, he took the Internet to circulate a survey seeking the opinions of Newport residents on what the city should do about nuisance properties. More than 100 people responded, and the council subsequently directed staff to come up with a comprehensive approach to dealing with similar quality-of-life is-sues.

Farley’s direct style is both intriguing and encouraging, and we hope that the rest of the council will learn from it. At the same time, we also hope that Farley will learn from his veteran col-leagues how to build consensus within the council, whose over-all effectiveness has suffered in recent years from frayed relations among councilors.

To the Editor:When I went outside this morn-

ing I found that the flower box had been stolen from my porch rail-ing. The box was large and heavy and the flowers were beautiful so someone stole it during the night. To some, this theft is a small thing, but it's not. The idea that someone could enjoy stolen flowers is truly sad.

No matter the object, large or small, the rule is always the same. If it isn't yours, you don't touch it.

nothing can happen until Middle-town makes a decision on what’s going to happen with our proper-ty,” Spangler said.

“Give us some options,” said Council Vice President Robert Syl-via. “This is a must-do. We can no longer support the services we have.”

VonVillas said she believes that Middletown should be willing to take the first step to explore the option of regionalization. “The separate high schools on the is-land cannot be saved,” VonVillas said. “Our high schools are proud of what they do for the minor-ity that are college bound, while they doom the majority to failure. We have to do better for all of our kids.”

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

In other business:The Council awarded a contract

to Bristol-based C.B. Utility Com-pany for the sewer and drainage improvement of Forest Avenue. The project will cost an estimated $2,146,754, of which $1,480,262 will come out of the town sewer fund and $666,492 will come from the Capital Improvements Pro-gram Special Revenue Fund.

Middletown has received a grant from the state Department of Environmental Management to explore the possibility of install-ing a stormwater utility plant. The grant requires the town to estab-lish a Stormwater Management Steering Committee. At town ad-ministrator Shawn Brown’s re-quest, the council authorized town clerk Wendy Marshal to ad-vertise for three residents to par-ticipate on the committee to de-velop local support for enhanced stormwater management and financing for it. The committee would also work with the Project Management Team to conduct a stormwater feasibility study.

The Council responded to Beth Larcom, a St. George’s School stu-dent who spent last summer at Camp Fullbright Korea. Larcom has been invited back and was requesting money from Middle-town for her travel expenses. Council agreed to give Larcom $100 out of the President’s Discre-tionary Fund.

The Council granted a special events permit to the Committee For the Arts for their Celebration of the Arts event to be held at Par-adise Park Saturday, Aug. 13. Last year’s event attracted more than 500 people. Upcoming Meetings: visit mid-letownri.com for town council up-dates. Mid. School Committee–Aug. 15, 7 p.m. Oliphant Adminstration Building.

By Jack Kelly According to some residents

and visitors to Hazard Road, a pub-lic safety issue has been devel-oping since April, when the road was opened for the summer sea-son. The number of speeding and wrong-way drivers has risen in the past three months, they say.

The north end of Hazard, from Wickham Road to Green Pasture Farm, is a wide, two-lane road. But the southern section, from Green Pasture (30 Hazard) to Ocean Ave-nue, is a single-lane, one-way road through the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes. Signs are posted to warn motorists of the traffic pattern. At the southern end of Hazard, two large traffic signs state “Do Not En-ter.” There are two blind curves on the one-way stretch of road that obstruct a driver's view.

Neighbors and others who uti-lize the road and marsh area for walking, running, biking and na-ture viewing say they have experi-enced a number of close calls with oncoming wrong-direction drivers over the past few years.

Adam Kovarsky of Save the Bay, who has conducted programs with Rogers High School biology stu-dents in the marsh area for the past four years, says, “We have encoun-tered wrong-way drivers on a num-ber of occasions. Wrong-way driv-ers pose a specific danger because they aren’t expected to be going the wrong way. It is something that the adults in charge pay special at-tention to at all times.” Other Save the Bay staff members say they also have experienced issues with viola-tors while doing restoration work in the wetlands.

Lt. William Fitzgerald of the New-port Police Department comment-ed, “We have stepped up patrols and enforcement in the area and will continue to do so while the road is open to traffic.” (The base fine for driving the wrong way on a one-way street is $85.)

Newport Fire Chief Peter Con-nerton said, “We haven’t had any incidents in that area yet, but we

do ask the public to obey all the traffic rules because we use that road for emergency responses dur-ing this time of year.” This past Mon-day, the Newport Fire Department was called to a house fire alarm at the Nunnery, 181 Ocean Ave. The emergency vehicles used Hazard Road to respond. While the alarm was cleared, it demonstrated the timely access that emergency vehi-cles require from an unobstructed route to the Ocean Drive.

Recently, two women who are neighbors of the Gooseneck area were walking their dogs on Hazard Road. One of them commented: “Most drivers travel at respectable speeds or even go slowly while they look at the beautiful view. But there are a few who use the road like their own personal race track. They leave precious little time to get off the roadway or to find a place to safely stand. Some of the wrong-way drivers also fly through here. I guess they figure that if they drive fast they won’t get caught. I worry about the firefighters who use this road to go out to the drive. Imagine the loss of response time when they have to wait for one of the idiots to get out of the way.”

The second woman told a har-rowing tale of a recent near-miss: “I was walking north on the road with my daughter, who was push-ing my 19-month-old grandson in a stroller. We were near the southern end of the road when a wrong-way driver came barreling up behind us. It was a new car, so it was qui-et, and we hadn’t heard him com-ing. He slammed on his brakes and starting yelling at us to get out of his way. I attempted to tell him he was going the wrong way, but he cursed at us and drove up the road at a high rate of speed.” Both wom-en, who did not wish to be identi-fied, agreed that they see the most infractions in the morning and ear-ly evenings and that it is the worst on weekends.

As the two women walked away, a vehicle came down the road the wrong way and drove right by them.

Visitor Count for Year Down 7 PercentBy Tom Shevlin

It was cold, then it was rainy, and now it's hot.

Normally, talk about the weath-er is casual – a way to break the ice and fill awkward pauses.

But in Newport, where “sum-mer” is a verb as well as a noun, and the weather plays an over-sized role in local economics, our recent spate of extreme weather has left many small business own-ers on edge and tourism officials hoping that fairer skies lie ahead.

Late last week, prior to the on-set of a near-record heatwave, Evan Smith, the president and CEO of Discover Newport, was en-joying a break in the clouds and rain that had dominated June and the early part of July.

The season got off to a slow start, he said. Or maybe it hadn't really arrived yet.

"We watch regional statistics. We watch national statistics," said Smith. "We're performing as well as most any other place in Amer-ica right now, but weather is the driving factor."

From wildfires out west to re-cord rains drenching the eastern seaboard, across the country it hasn’t been a normal summer so far.

On Lower Thames Street on a recent Sunday, one storeowner reported that her sales were off by

roughly 30 percent from last year. Another merchant, who recently opened just off Bellevue Avenue, wondered when the foot traffic would pick up.

But, said Smith, while business may have been slow for some sea-sonal businesses, because of the city's diverse attractions, no other tourist town is doing any better than Newport.

"If we were just a beach desti-nation, or just a golf destination, I think we'd be in real trouble," offered Smith. "Thank goodness for the strength of things like our event schedule and wedding business."

Still, according to data com-piled by Discover Newport, which tracks the tourism industry in Newport and Bristol counties, for the period January through June this year, the number of visitors traveling to Aquidneck Island and its surrounding towns was down by roughly 7 percent.

It's too early to tell what effect the recent stretch of hot and sun-ny weather has had on those fig-ures, but a break in the humidity and more seasonable tempera-tures forecast for next week.

"We've had slow starts before," Smith said. "We've had times where we were down at halftime but have come out on top in the end."

Corpsman Takes Center CourtBasketball enthusiast Hospital Corpsman Antonio Bassett from Na-

val Health Clinic New England re-enlisted for three more years in the U.S. Navy at the basketball center court of the new gym at the naval station last week. Capt. George Smith was the reenlisting officer with friends and clinic staff members in attendance.

Acting on behalf of the Chief of Naval Operations, Naval War Col-lege President Rear Adm. John Christenson recently presented Navy Meritorious Public Service Awards to Mr. John A. van Beur-en and Mrs. Hope H. van Beuren for their exemplary generosity to the Naval War College and to the Rhode Island community at large over the past three decades.

Christenson recognized the van Beurens’ exceptional dedication to the Navy and stated that fund-ing from the couple, through the Naval War College Foundation, al-lowed the Naval War College to sig-nificantly improve its academic and research programs.

The van Beurens have been un-failing in their support of the Re-gional Studies Program to promote greater understanding of cultures, world views, histories, religions and philosophies across the globe. In an increasingly smaller world where forces interact with different societies on a daily basis, success at any level depends on a thorough understanding of the culture en-gaged. The van Beurens completed the Regional Studies Library Col-lections and funded the first of six Regional Chairs at the College, the John A. van Beuren Chair for Asia-Pacific Studies, helping to spear-head expansion of the program.

90 Years Ago This Week in Newport: Air Crash Tragedy

By Brian StinsonNinety years ago this week, July

1923, Newport was the site of an air crash that abruptly ended a newly inaugurated passenger air service between Newport and New York City. The service, which cost $30, had only been offered for three weeks.

After two years of negotiations with the strong backing of the local Chamber of Commerce and sum-mer residents, it was announced on March 26, 1923, that passenger air service between Newport and New York City would begin that summer.

June 27 marked the inaugu-ral flight of the Loening Air Yacht (seaplane) between New York City and Newport. Loening with his pi-lot named Rumill and two New York City newspapermen were on-board. A local headline read, “New-

port-New York Air Line successfully opened - Large numbers witness first landing at Coddington point - what the new service means in the aviation world and to Newport.”

The service was the second air-line passenger service in the Unit-ed States. (The first was the Tam-pa-St. Petersburg Airboat Line in Florida, which began scheduled service Jan. 1, 1914.)

The Newport line was a success only until Friday, July 20 when the air yacht was attempting to land in Newport. The plane nose-dived causing injury to passengers, most notably to H. Cary Morgan. His leg was amputated that weekend, and by the following Tuesday, he was dead. The airline operation was suspended immediately. The ser-vice was never mentioned again and there were no more flights. The service had lasted only three weeks.

Consignments & ANTIQUESDate Set to Hear Breakers Proposal

By Tom ShevlinMembers of the Historic District

Commission will take up on Aug. 13 a controversial proposal by the Preservation Society of Newport County to construct a welcome center at The Breakers. The Com-mission will hear arguments for and against the proposed struc-ture during at least one special meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 13 with a back-up date also set for Thurs-day, Aug. 15.

The dates were agreed upon on Tuesday.

The fact that the matter will be heard in a special session reflects the simmering interest in the pro-posal, which is being opposed formally by the Bellevue Avenue Ochre Point Neighborhood Asso-ciation.

The August meeting will be the first time that the application will be presented to a local decision-making body.

Design renderings show a me-andering structure spread over 3,700 square feet and obscured by a heavily vegetated area inside The Breakers walls. The area at one time had been home to a series of romantic gardens.

Drawing on inspiration from landscapes such as New York's Central Park, the new structure is meant to evoke the design ethos of the late 1800s, replete with ex-pansive windows, a copper roof, ornamental metal work and plenty of natural light.

According to the Preservation Society, the center is not only needed (currently, visitors are ush-ered into a large tent), but would reclaim a historic landscape.

Turner Scott, who is represent-ing the neighborhood association in opposition to the project, is ex-pected to present expert testimo-ny contesting that assertion.

In other business, Commission members voted to approve the fol-lowing applications:q A request by Ronald Lee Flem-

ing for permission to construct a 1 1/2 story greenhouse building at the northeast corner of the estate at 304 Bellevue Ave.q A petition by Marsha Cohen to

extend three rooftop dormers and add a one-story breakfast nook at the rear, along with various other improvements, to the property at 5 Linden Gate Lane.q A proposal to replace a rotten

wood railing at 316 Gibbs Ave. at the property owned by Maureen and Jeffrey Singerq A request by Douglas New-

house and Holly Bannister to re-construct the original porte co-chere at 740 Bellevue Ave. which was destroyed in the 1938 hurri-cane.q A petition by Richard and Jan-

ice Brown to complete significant renovations to the structure at 1 Sunshine Court. q A request by Robert and Mer-

cedes Coulombe to replace an ex-isting shed with a new shed of larg-er dimensions at 511 Ocean Ave.q A petition by Belcourt of New-

port to install a 72-panel photovol-taic solar panel system on the roof of the north wing.q An application by the New-

port Restoration Foundation to construct a new chimney at the property located at 88 Bridge St., replacing a historic chimney that had been removed. q A request by Trinity Church to

construct a new columbarium wall.q An Application by Steve

Rosenbaum for permission to re-flash and repoint an existing chim-ney, along with other exterior im-provements at 18 Bancroft Ave.

establishing certain requirements relative to the keeping of chickens throughout the city and “not just on large acreage lots.”

Under the proposed amend-ment, a new section would be add-ed to Chapter 17 of the city’s codi-fied ordinances governing “Home occupations” – a section normally reserved for artist studios, home crafts, legal and medical offices, and tutoring providers.

In brief, the amendment would provide for explicit conditions that would allow applicants to keep up to six chickens as a matter of spe-cial use.

Those would include the stipula-tion that applicants keep no more than one hen per 800 square feet of total lot area; that “no person be permitted to keep any rooster;” that all hens be provided with an adequate hen house and fenced outdoor enclosure to be kept in a clean manner; that no chickens may be slaughtered on the prem-ises; and that all chickens be con-fined between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Additionally, the amendment would stipulate that chickens shall not be considered as “pets” and

may not be housed within residen-tial structures.

On Monday, Planning Board members found the ordinance changes to be consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and directed staff to forward their recommendations to the city council for a final review.

Second Ward Councilor Jus-tin S. McLaughlin raised the mat-ter of domestic chickens last year, but it didn’t get much traction. He brought the issue back to the fore earlier this spring after conversa-tions with the city solicitor’s office over the number of chicken-related cases being prosecuted in munici-pal court.

“It’s not a burning issue for me,” McLaughlin said. “But on the oth-er hand, having our city solicitors down in court for something that is relatively benign, and is not a nui-sance when you put all the safe-guards in place, might not be the best use of city resources.”

City Zoning Officer Guy Weston said his office has investigated and cited four homeowners for violat-ing Newport’s no-chicken policy in the last year, with some cases going to municipal court, where

homeowners who refuse to com-ply with the current ordinance face a $500 a day fine.

Two years ago, Providence passed a measure that allows resi-dents to keep a limited number of chickens for domestic use. At the time, urban farmers and immigrant communities heralded the deci-sion. Others, including locavores here in Newport, were inspired by it. After all, proponents say, Mid-dletown allows homeowners to keep chickens, as does Barrington, which recently voted to allow up to a maximum of three hens on any one lot.

Observed McLaughlin, “If they can let chickens in Middletown, Barrington, and Providence, then we can have them in Newport.”

But even if the ordinance passes, there are restrictions. Homeowners who want to raise chickens must be able to accommodate the birds as well as comply with setback re-quirements and structural specifi-cations governing chicken coops. They also would have to register with the city and secure property authorization from the city’s Zon-ing Board.

ORDINANCE CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Council To Address Nuisance HousesBy Tom Shevlin

City Councilor Michael T. Far-ley last week proposed a number of initiatives aimed at increasing revenue for the city, ranging from renegotiating the city’s lease with the Newport Yacht Club, to recon-sidering how the city’s Sister City program is funded, to increasing mooring permit fees.

Only two of the initiatives were taken up for a vote: a resolution correcting what Farley said were “clerical errors” in how the city calculated its tax rate, and a re-quest for the city solicitor’s office to more broadly define “nuisance” houses.

Of the alleged clerical errors, Farley asserted that under the city’s adopted budget, the city stands to collect $34,000 more than the dollar figure that was used to calculate the tax rates. Although the amount is nomi-nal compared to the overall $114 million FY2013-14 budget, Far-ley said that those funds could

be used to plug holes within the school department budget.

First Ward Councilor Marco T. Camacho joined Farley in voting for the proposal. However, after a brief discussion, the motion failed in a 2-5 vote.

Farley’s plan to provide the city with greater enforcement powers over so-called nuisance houses, on the other hand, gained wider support.

The council agreed to ask that the city solicitor’s office craft an umbrella ordinance to more broadly define “nuisance” prop-erties and to specifically allow for the city to pursue landlords for tenant-related issues.

A final report is expected back before the council in August.

As Second Ward Councilor Jus-tin S. McLaughlin observed, “This is a topic that’s been discussed for years, and if we’re going to do something, then let’s do it.”

The remaining five items were withdrawn to be addressed at the council’s July 24 meeting.

Cliff Walk Repairs OK'dThe state Coastal Resources Man-

agement Council on Wednesday gave formal approval to an amend-ed plan to restore Newport's famed Cliff Walk.

During their semi-monthly meet-ing at URI's Narragansett Bay cam-pus, the council voted in favor of a series of emergency repairs de-signed to shore up the coastal trail, portions of which have been closed since suffering significant damage during Hurricane Sandy.

Formally put forth by the state Department of Transportation, the project calls for work at a number of locations between Ruggles Avenue and Bailey's Beach.

In addition to repairing the walk's concrete and masonry walls and walkways, the project also calls for the installation of new decorative railings, landscaping, and at three locations, the construction of "un-derwalls" to mitigate future erosion.

Not included in the plan are a se-ries of "temporary" jetties that surf-ers had feared would destroy the celebrated Ruggles Avenue surf break and put at risk the area's ma-rine eco-system.

Stakeholders that led the fight against those jetties, including Wa-terbros. owner Sid Abbruzzi and members of Newport-based Clean Ocean Access, were on hand for the vote. It was their public advocacy campaign, which earned national media attention, that galvanized opposition to the original plan and led to what CRMC officials described as "substantial" modifications to the state's original application.

Road Construction Updates

The following roads will be un-der construction for the week of July 15:

Dexter Street; Dixon Street; Easton’s Beach Entrance; Harold Street (from Carroll Ave. to Old Fort Rd.); Hazard Road (Y-intersection at Ocean Rd.); Lowndes; Morgan Street; Norman Street (from Old Fort Road to Palmer St.); Palmer Street (from Old Fort Rd. to Dead End); Richmond Place; Rose Street (from Carroll Avenue to Old Fort Road); Ruggles Avenue (from Car-roll Ochre Point to First Driveway); Stacey Street (from Palmer Street to Norman Street); Vaughn Avenue (from Morton Ave to Bateman St.)

FROM THE GARDENPick-Your-Own Berries are Here!

By Cynthia GibsonIt is summer raspberry season

and the beginning of pick-your-own blueberry season. Farmers’ markets started selling their own berries this past week. The season for early red and golden raspber-ries only lasts about two and a half weeks. (The fall crop of raspber-ries, August through September, is more abundant.) Blueberry season generally lasts from now into Au-gust.

Pick-your-own berry farms pro-vide a fun outing. You can pick enough berries to make jam to last the year, or just enough to make one pie. Blueberries freeze better than most fruits. They hold their shape well. Raspberries should be frozen right after you have picked them, and I mean immediately. If you wait an hour or longer, they will turn into mush. They will not, however, lose their taste!

Sweet Berry Farm’s fields are now open for pick-your-own sum-mer raspberries and blueberries. Raspberries are $7.50 for a pint, and pick-your-own blueberries are $5.25 a pint (about $7 a pound).

A favorite off-island pick-your-own berry place is Schartner’s Farm in Exeter. Their fields are vast, and they have different varieties of blueberries to pick, all of them huge. Take your own freezer bag-gies to use for picking. The farm stand at the blueberry field will weigh your berries, and you will pay a per-pound price of $2.99, which is about $2.25 for a pint. The berries will need a quick rinse once they are home, then whip them up into something delicious, or pop them into the freezer. I freeze at least six to seven pounds of these berries for use during the winter. What could be better than a fresh

blueberry pie in December?All over the island, the roads and

side roads are dappled with won-derful farm stands. The owners sell produce direct from their own gar-dens and farms. You will find beau-tiful bouquets of fresh flowers, home-grown vegetables and fruits, and in a month or so, you will find corn.

Here is a list of some of the farm stands and markets in our area:v Decastro Farms and Market, 1780 East Main Rd., Portsmouthv Mello’s Farm Stand, 364 Boyd’s Lane, Portsmouthv Peckham Farm, 1299 Wapping Rd., Middletownv Simmons Farm 1942 West Main Road, Middletown, RI v Hodgkiss Farm, 305 North Rd., Jamestownv Bally Machree, 704 Jepson Lane, Middletownv Aquidneck Growers’ Market, Me-morial Blvd., Newport every Wed. afternoonv Aquidneck Growers’ Market, 909 East Main Rd., Middletown every Sat. morning.

Gardening To-Do List for Julyv Order and plant garlic for fallv Dig up and eat your new po tatoes.v Cut back and pinch off the flowers of your plants and flow-ers in containers. They will re-ward you with yet another crop of fresh leaves and pretty flow-ers. Continue fertilizing every two weeks.v Pull out your spring vegeta-bles and plant your fall crop of seeds: carrots, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, and more beets.

The Best Blueberry BuckleServes 8

Ingredients:2 cups all-purpose flour2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt1/4 cup butter (unsalted)3/4 cup sugar1 large egg1/2 cup milk2 ½ cups freshly picked blueberries1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping:1/2 cup sugar1/3 cup all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/4 cup butter softenedPreheat the oven to 350 degrees.

The secret to making this cake is to have all of your ingredients at room temperature. I get everything ready on the kitchen counter the night before baking.

Cake Batter:Butter and flour a spring-form

pan.In a large mixing bowl, sift the

two cups of flour, baking powder and salt. In a different, smaller bowl, cream the butter, sugar and egg with an electric hand mixer. Mix these ingredients until they are light in color and very fluffy. Gradually add the milk and continue mixing. Then add the flour mixture and mix for another four minutes or until all ingredients are well blended and the batter is stiff. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, then spoon it into the spring-form pan.

Topping:In a small bowl, place the flour,

butter, sugar, and cinnamon for the topping. It should be crumbly in tex-ture; you can mix it with your fingers. First, sprinkle the topping on top of the batter, then very gently press it into in batter, making the top of the cake rather flat.

Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The standard knife or toothpick test for doneness is a must. However, in this case, you want moist crumbs stuck to your knife or toothpick. If either tool is to-tally spotless, the cake will be over-baked. It will still taste great, it will just not be as moist.

When done, place the cake on a cooling rack, and do not remove from the pan it until it has cooled to room temperature.

Newest Star on Newport’s HorizonThe stars came out in Newport last week, stars of the maritime world

that is, in celebration of the much anticipated dedication of Rhode Island’s first official sail training vessel, the tall ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, named after Rhode Island’s famous naval hero – and the ship drew a hero’s wel-come. An opening night gala held at Newport Shipyard kicked off a week-end of festivities, drawing luminaries from around the country for a peek at the soon-to-be finished ship. The 196’ vessel was most impressive; in an arena of more than impressive yachts, it was a standout. Vice Admiral Thomas R. Weschler, the driving force behind the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry project and every Rhode Island Tall Ship event since 1976, was fêted at the gala, which featured dockside dining by Blackstone Caterers, drinks and dancing, all under the lee of the vessel.

The ship was dedicated the following morning pier-side at Fort Adams, where it will be based when finished. Over 1000 visitors toured the yet-to-be completed vessel over the Fourth of July weekend, before it returned to Se-nesco Marine in Quonset to continue construction. When it is launched next year, the three-masted, square-rigged tall ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry will be the largest civilian training vessel in North America and the first ocean-going, full-rigged ship built in the United States in more than 100 years.

DINING OUTChef Q & A: Montaup Grille’s William Aguilar

By Jonathan ClancyLocated within the Montaup

Country Club in Portsmouth, the Montaup Grille is headed by Wil-liam Aguilar, 35, a native of El Sal-vador who came to the U.S. at age 18, attended Johnson & Wales Uni-versity, and has worked at Newport restaurants such as the old Chris-tie’s, Fifth Element, and Scales & Shells.

In my country we cook every-thing fresh right out of the garden. Peppers, tomatoes, onions – we pick all that, cut it small, and make a sauce we serve with chicken and rice.

My favorite variation on a clas-sic recipe is my seafood paella. I use clam juice to give it a different flavor and make the rice mushy. I’ve been in a lot of Spanish restaurants, and the paella is not juicy, it’s too dry.

My ultimate goal is to own a fine dining restaurant that special-izes in Spanish and Italian food.

A kitchen utensil I cannot go without is my tongs. I feel like I al-ways have them in my hand. I don’t have a favorite pair, but I can’t stand when they open up too far. I use tongs for everything.

When I’m entertaining at home I love to grill outside. We grill vege-tables like zucchini, asparagus, and corn on the cob. Then, we’ll grill some meat that has been marinat-ing in our own seasonings from El Salvador.

In our free time my wife and I like to go out to eat in Providence. We go to Federal Hill a lot. We also like to go to Boston to the Top Of The Hub. Around Newport, we like

to go to Bistro 162, and 41 North is my favorite.

I’m more of a red wine guy. I don’t drink a lot of white wines, and I’m not a big fan of beer because it fills me up too much. Most of the wines at my home are from Argen-tina and Chile.

I love seafood, especially here in Rhode Island. Everybody comes to Newport to eat the seafood.

Sometimes for dessert I like to make Tres Leches, which means three milks. It’s a vanilla cake made with whole, condensed, and skim milks. You mix them up together

and make a sauce and bake it with the cake so when it comes out of the oven wet, and you cut it, the cake is still dripping cream from the inside.

My last meal on earth would be lobster and filet mignon with grilled asparagus and roasted fin-gerling potatoes.

Tres Leches(Three Milk Cake)

Cake ingredients:6 ¾ oz. cake flour1 tsp. baking soda1/2 tsp. kosher salt8 oz. sugar5 large eggs1½ tsp. vanilla1½ oz. evaporated milk1¼ oz. sweetened condensed milk1 cup half and halfPreheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the eggs into the flour, then gradually add the other in-gredients, mixing until smooth. Pour into 10-inch round cake pan and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour. When cake just cools to the touch, add the topping and serve.

Topping2 cups heavy cream8 oz. sugar1 tsp. vanillaWhip cream until it forms stiff peaks, adding sugar and vanilla.

Aguilar uses clam juice to make his version of paella more moist than most.

Spotlight on Music

Festival Mixes Blues and BarbecueSummertime means cooking

outdoors, enjoying good compa-ny, and listening to music. This Sat-urday, July 20, the Newport Blues and BBQ Festival will be at the Newport Yachting Center.

This all-day event begins at noon and features sweet, smoky eats for sale from Preppy Pig BBQ, Eddie’s BBQ, Smoke House, Julian’s Smok-er, Kinfolks BBQ, and Central Falls Provision. Sample different styles of grilled and smoked ribs, chick-en, pulled pork, smoked salmon and sausages, hot dogs and burg-ers, all while listening to incredible blues musicians. Don’t forget to try some southern specialties like col-lard greens and ribbon chips.

Music begins at 12:30 p.m. with the 14-year-old guitar virtuoso Quinn Sullivan. Sullivan performed at age 6 on the Ellen DeGeneres television show and has since re-leased two albums. He has shared the stage with blues legends such as B.B. King and Buddy Guy.

At the opposite end of the age spectrum is Matt “Guitar” Murphy who will be performing with Rick Russell & The Cadillac Horns. Mur-phy, 85, has worked with such ac-claimed artists as Howlin’ Wolf, Memphis Slim, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, and many more as a session musician.

Also performing that day will be Ronnie Earl & The Broadcast-ers. Earl began playing lead guitar for the popular blues band Room-ful Of Blues in 1979 and formed

his own band, the Broadcasters, in 1988. He is a two-time Blues Music Award winner as Guitar Player of the Year.

Southside Johnny & The As-bury Jukes have been tearing up the blues scene since 1977. Prior to that, Southside Johnny (John Lyon) released three solo albums featuring songs written for him by Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt. Lyon has been dubbed “the Grandfather of the New Jersey Sound.” During a recent phone in-terview with Newport This Week, Lyon described this sound as “working class, blue-collar music.” Lyon has released more than 30 al-bums, many on his own label, Le-roy Records.

Taking it all home will be leg-endary harmonica player James Cotton. Cotton has been nominat-ed for three Grammy Awards and won in 1996 for Best Traditional Blues Album for his record “Deep In The Blues.” He has also performed with Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King, as well as Janis Jop-lin, Freddie King, Steve Miller and Carlos Santana.

In between main stage sets, the Big Cat Blues Band will perform on the Point Stage.

Tickets are $45 in advance at newportwaterfrontevents.com, and $55 at the gate. A separate $30 BBQ Alley pass, which includes a choice of four different tastings of BBQ specialties, is also available.

The vocal sounds of (l to r) Jack Casey, Bill Thomas, Mark Gorman, Harry Spring, and Ed Ledwith will take you back in time.

Lily Tomlin Makes Newport Comedy DebutBy Meg O’Neil

For the past 13 years, the New-port Summer Comedy Series has brought some of the biggest names in stand-up to the Newport Yachting Center. This year, comedy legend Lily Tomlin takes the spot-light on Friday, July 26.

Tomlin first rocketed to fame on the 1970s’ sketch comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In” where her characters such as Edith Ann, a precocious five-year old in an over-sized rocking chair, and telephone operator Ernestine made her a household name. Tomlin played Violet Newstead in the 1980 film “9 to 5” which also starred Dolly Parton, and she has won two Tony awards, a Grammy, and six Emmy awards, in addition to the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, over her 50-year career.

Newport This Week recently caught up with Tomlin by phone from her home in Sherman Oaks, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles. “Amazingly, Rhode Island could be one of the few states I’ve never played,” she said. “I’ve been to ev-ery state around it – I’m very excit-ed to come to Newport.”

Tomlin and her partner, Jane Wag-ner, have been to-gether for 42 years. Their secret? “I just think it’s wanting to be together and not want-ing to be apart,” said Tomlin. “It’s all the old things that people say: respect and humor and a commitment to share a life togeth-er.”

Tomlin said she and Wagner have been getting pressure from friends to marry. “We’ve got to seri-ously start thinking about making honest women out of each other, I guess.”

Tomlin said fans still regularly approach her and ask her about her “Laugh In” characters like Er-

nestine and Edith Ann. “I still perform them and update them to keep them as rel-evant as possible,” she said. For instance, Ernestine, the AT&T telephone operator, has switched careers. “To-day, she works for health care companies and de-nies people healthcare coverage … She won’t pander to anybody,

and she’s going to give them hell.” The characters that made Tomlin

famous will be part of her Newport act, which will include answering audience questions as her char-acters in what she describes as a “very informal, intimate” setting. “I figure if people don’t like me, they might like one of the characters.”

Tomlin attributes her sense of humor and love of comedy to her upbringing in Detroit, where she

lived in an apartment building filled with characters. “I grew up in a very mixed inner-city neighbor-hood. I hung out with so many dif-ferent kinds of people. I saw them in their raw state – both fabulous and awful.”

When she’s not on the road, Tom-lin is still acting. She was most re-cently seen as Tina Fey’s mother in this year’s film, “Admission.” The ABC show “Malibu Country” ran for one season featuring Tomlin as Lillie Mae MacKenzie, the mother of Reba McEntire’s character. Also on the small screen, she plays Lisa Kudrow’s mother on Showtime’s “Web Therapy.”

Tomlin also recently lent her voice to the documentary “An Apology to Elephants,” which she produced with Wagner. She also narrated the new anti-bullying documentary “Teach Your Children Well,” which will premiere at OUT-fest LA later this month.

At home, Tomlin likes to relax in one of her two larger-than-life chairs. One is from the set of her 1981 film “The Incredible Shrink-ing Woman,” and the other is the rocking chair that belonged to her “Laugh In” character Edith Ann. “I love those big props,” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m Alice in Won-derland.”

SELF-SERVICE COIN LAUNDRYDO IT YOURSELF AND SAVE!

(

By Tim FlahertyLast week’s new moon made for

some excellent fishing on Ocean-side despite the low pressure system that stalled over our area. Dense morning fog kept many rec-reational anglers at their dock this past week. But those who were able to pick their way through the fog to the reefs were well rewarded. Every morning, large schools of striped bass could be seen between But-terball Rock and Seal Ledge. The bass were driving huge pods of sand eels to top water. The schools were easy to spot as hundreds of gulls and common terns fed on the remains of sand eels that had been stunned by the slaps of bass during this feeding frenzy.

Our first cast resulted in a hook-up to a 27-inch striper that fought like he was a bluefish on our light spinning gear. We used our favorite plug – the 7-inch, 2-ounce Yozuri swimmer. Although most any plug works during a feeding frenzy, we prefer weighted swimmers that can be cast much further than con-ventional plugs.

Casting a plug accurately is a skill that takes years to develop. My mate T. J. Harris is deadly accurate with a plug and is able to hit a tar-get 120 feet away, repeatedly. With good, accurate casting skills, an angler can hook up with almost ev-ery cast. Another skill required for successful casting is the ability to spot fish on the surface. Successful plugging requires keen visual per-ception which is developed over time. A break in the surface ten-sion of the water caused by a bass wake is very subtle, but detectable. Spotting the swirl caused by a bass tail is difficult but can be learned with practice. One of the required tools for successful plugging is good quality polarized sunglasses, a whippy rod for distance casting, and a quality spinning reel.

This week, we were witness to the striper migration from the

very warm waters of the upper bay to the cool temperatures of the ocean side of Aquidneck. The temperature in the upper bay is 73 degrees, and on Oceanside it is 65. Bass always prefer the cooler water during mid-summer. At this time of year, there are plenty of sand eels and molted lobsters at the reef, which are the favorite food of striped bass. We always check the stomach contents of the keepers we filet to determine what they are feeding on. This information helps us plan for the next trip.

The striper bite this past week has been excellent, and we landed many undersized school-size bass, a few in the high teens and others in the low twenties. On our light tackle, it is a challenge to land one of these big boys. With little room for error, the skills of experienced anglers were tested last week on our 15-lb. test line. On our most successful trip, more than 14 bass came over the rail in three hours. We know that this is the peak of the July bass run at the reefs. As soon as the water temperature at the reefs hits 70 degrees, the bass will head for deeper, cooler water

farther out on the sound.Black sea bass catches are down

this season for unknown reasons. The ones being caught most abun-dantly are small, under-sized fe-males about six inches in length. Big “bluehead” males have been strangely absent this season, com-pared to 2012 when they were plentiful and widespread around the bay and the ocean side.

Big scup are now feeding at the reef form Ledge Road to Castle Hill including the beaches. Last week-end we landed a few scup that were well over 3 pounds. These voracious feeders provide plenty of action for the kids. Always use squid and circle hooks for quick release of undersized fish, and try chumming to keep them under the boat. And don’t forget Lynn Spin-gler’s recipe for “Scup Cakes,” which are always a hit. Tight lines!

native who taught high school and college-level history. He has been

angling for more than 50 years, fol-lowing his father, Frank Flaherty.

Stone-Moving Threatens to Undo Marsh RestorationBy Jack Kelly

The Gooseneck Cove salt marsh system, located adjacent to Hazard Road in Newport, is undergoing a multi-year restoration project un-der the guidance of Save the Bay. But recent incidents of vandalism are threatening to reverse some of the progress at the cove.

Over the past decade, Hazard Road was raised four feet over a specially designed roadbed of crushed rock, gravel and smaller stone. It was bordered with stone rip-rap as part of the fortification process that would allow tidal and storm waters to pass over and un-der the roadway causing minimal damage. The project was complet-ed and dedicated in the late sum-mer of 2009.

However, the size of the rip-rap chosen for the roadside reinforce-ment soon became an issue. The stones are small enough for people to pick up and remove. The east-ern side of the culvert sustained a severe loss of stone as people who were crabbing or fishing in the marsh used them to make foot-paths across the mud to the water’s edge, or simply threw them into the water. Stones tossed into the culvert began to impede the tidal flow into and out of the east marsh, which stunted the restoration pro-cess. Save the Bay staff and interns removed the stones on a number of occasions to keep a steady and healthy flow of tidal waters.

Last summer, Save the Bay and the city developed a plan to re-place the rip-rap with much larger stones that would ensure a better reinforcement of the roadbed and the marsh. Before the plan could be finalized, however, Hurricane Sandy’s tides and waves last Octo-ber damaged the rip-rap and the road. According to Wenley Fergu-son of Save the Bay, “The alteration of the rip-rap had already started before Sandy, but it made it easier for Sandy to cause erosion damage to the roadway and marsh culverts.”

Newport city engineer Eric Earls explained the city’s role in replac-ing the rip-rap. “The city is work-ing to upgrade the rip-rap on Haz-ard Road. While the marsh area is susceptible to erosion and wave action, the new stone will inhibit these actions. Human interference with city infrastructure is vandal-ism. The vandalism to the Goose-neck Cove area has been costly and counterproductive to the restora-tion process.”

The most recent incident of van-dalism occurred in the past week as approximately 20 large stones were dumped into the culvert on the east side of the marsh, altering the tidal flow into this area. Said Ferguson, “If people are purposely attempting to manipulate the flow for fishing or crabbing, they should know that they are negatively im-pacting the habitat that sustains the fish and crab populations. This manipulation of flow will cause vegetation die-off, which will cre-ate algae blooms that will threaten the life in the marsh.”

Ferguson also addressed other is-sues that are threatening the wet-lands. “The dumping of lawn, plant and other cuttings, as well as lit-ter and household articles, has oc-curred along the road,” she said. “Last summer someone dumped a lawnmower right into the marsh. The mower was removed but it left an oil and gas slick on the water. This spring a large console television was dumped by the side of the road.”

In the past three days, a city crew cleared the stones obstructing the east culvert. According to ordi-

nance, vandalism to city infrastruc-ture is an offense punishable by ar-rest and fine.

Save the Bay is seeking local vol-unteers to help with the continu-ing restoration program. For more information on Gooseneck Cove or the restoration project visit: www.savebay.org or call 401-272-3540.

State Tourism Office, the Preservation Society is a driving force

in promoting visitation to Newport and Rhode Island. It draws

900,000 visitors annually, more paid admissions than any other

Rhode Island attraction, and among the four most-visited

museums in New England. It pays ten million dollars a year

to 400 employees. The Preservation Society spends over

two million dollars annually on goods and services from

local businesses and contractors. Business partners in fields

like catering, photography, design services, entertainment,

tent suppliers, and fire and safety earn even more from

Preservation Society clients. The spin-off for restaurants,

hotels, other lodging establishments, the cruise and motor

coach industry, stores and other suppliers totals over 100

million dollars annually. It continues to live up to its world

class status with its plan for The Breakers welcome center,

designed to handle its 400,000 visitors from around the world.

World class marketing must be supported with world class

services if it is to continue to be effective for Newport and

Rhode Island.

Extraordinary Quality! “Overlook Point” Portsmouth

Newport All-Star shortstop Gavin Crowley (right) tags out Bristol-Warren’s Joey Parella at second base.By Meg O’Neil

After 60 years, the final season of the Fifth Ward Little League officially came to a close on Monday, July 15, after the All-Star team lost in their final game against Bristol-Warren, 9-2. Next year, the city’s two leagues, Fifth Ward Little League and New-port Little League, will merge.

The leagues got an early start on the merge, as this year’s All-Star team was comprised of players from both Fifth Ward and Newport league teams. “We essentially ran a pilot program for what is going to happen next spring,” explained Antoine Lavigueur, president of the Fifth Ward Little League. “The result was fantastic. The kids all made new friends, and they respected how each person played the game. It re-ally has me even more excited about next season than I was before.”

The All-Star team featured play-ers that were selected by a commit-tee of team managers from both leagues, as well as the Player Agent and the All-Star Managers.

The end of Fifth Ward Little League is also the end of an era for the tight-knit neighborhood in the city’s south end.

“What was special about Fifth Ward Little League was our size, but it was also our curse,” Lavigueur said. “Having a small league makes it much easier to get things accom-plished. However, times change, demographics change, and above everything else, it’s about preserv-ing the opportunity for kids in our area to play in a solid Little League system for years to come.”

Newport’s leftfielder Logan Ratcliff dives to catch a sinking line drive against the Bristol-Warren All-Stars. He made the catch.
