By Tom ShevlinIt's 4 o'clock on a recent Friday

when a caravan of vehicles bear-ing out-of-state plates turns into a driveway in the city's Yachting Vil-lage. Six women, each toting suit-cases, exit from their cars, greet one another, and look around as if get-ting their bearings. They've rented a condo just off Thames Street – a three bedroom unit which they'll share for a weekend getaway.

By Sunday, they're gone, and the next week, a new group of vaca-tioners has taken their place.

For the most part, the renters are respectful. But according to city or-dinance, they're also breaking the law.

According to city ordinance, only registered guest houses, time-shares, and bed and breakfasts, which are be taxed at a commercial rate, are permitted to let out rooms

Folks at the FestThe weather couldn’t have been better for last year’s Newport Folk Festival at Fort Adams State Park, and so far the forecast is good for this year’s sold-out event, with just a slight chance of scattered thunderstorms and temperatures in the low 80s. Among the bands playing will be My Morning Jacket, closing the show on Saturday, and Jackson Browne, finishing the festival on Sunday. (Photo by Tom Shevlin)

By Marion Laffey FoxAmong dozens of prominent

antiques shows across the coun-try, the Newport Antiques Show is a stellar event that magnetizes visitors from far and wide. A mere six years old, the show has caused a buzz in the rarified world of an-tiques and fine arts. The show will be held at St. George’s School in Middletown, July 27-29, and will benefit the Newport Historical So-ciety and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County.

The show’s success is due in no small part to the effort and en-ergy of its founder Ann Hamilton (Mrs. S. Matthews V. Hamilton, Jr.) of Newport and Bryn Mawr, Penn-sylvania. “I founded it because Newport had such a rich histo-ry of American furniture, from the famous Townsend-Goddard school in the 18th century, and we who love this wonderful place so much wanted to do something to put Newport on the map in this arena,” says Hamilton. “It’s true we have wonderful old houses that draw huge numbers of visitors, but a quality show with two very significant beneficiaries brings to-gether new and different groups of people.”

Hamilton stresses the impor-tance of the support she has re-ceived from the community. Among them, she is quick to ex-press gratitude to presenting sponsor, William Vareika Fine Arts Ltd, and preview party sponsor,

Brown Brothers Harriman. “In ad-dition,” she says, “I can never thank our loyal group of Founders, who contribute to the show’s success every year.”

Most participants agree that Hamilton’s infectious enthusiasm is one thing, but her experience in the field is another. She has been involved with the prestigious Phil-adelphia Antiques Show for over 30 years, and is an active commit-

Winthrop Elected Mayor

By Tom Shevlin City Council members on

Wednesday selected Henry F. Win-throp, a lifelong Newporter and for-mer defense industry executive, as the city's new mayor.

He replaces two-term mayor Ste-phen C. Waluk, who stepped down from the council after 11 years at the end of Wednesday's meeting.

Waluk, who decided to leave public office after being appointed to a top clerkship with the Rhode Island District Court, bid farewell to his fellow councilors and the public at large during brief remarks.

Winthrop, who previously served on the council representing the city's former 4th Ward from 1990-93, and 1995, had been elected again in 2010 as the third-highest vote-getter, with 1,257 votes.

He'll now serve out Waluk's term as mayor, and stands a good chance of retaining the post after the November election.

Meanwhile, former councilors Stephen R. Coyne, who was the city's fifth-highest vote getter in the 2010 election, is poised to fill the vacancy left by Waluk at the council's next regularly scheduled meeting in August.

By Meg O’NeilThe grace period for those who

drive through the open road toll-ing lane on the Newport Pell Bridge without an E-ZPass is about to come to an end. On Aug. 1, the Rhode Is-land Turnpike and Bridge Authority will begin enforcing a more cost-ly penalty to violators who drive through the 40 mph open toll lane without an E-ZPass. Since opening on June 22, anyone who has gone through the high-speed lane with-out a transponder has incurred a $4 ($2/axle) fine – the equivalent of the bridge’s cash toll.

Starting Wednesday, Aug. 1, driv-ers who violate the open toll lane will be responsible for a $10 ($5/axle) fee.

Because the open road toll lanes are separated from the gated toll lanes, drivers who were unaware of the new changes to the bridge would oftentimes drive through the newly opened lane without an E-ZPass. Authority Chairman David Darlington said that the author-ity decided to not issue full-blown fines to drivers until the public was more accustomed to the new con-figuration.

As of Monday, July 23, more than 600,000 cars have driven through the open toll lanes, accounting for 65 percent of all bridge traffic, Dar-lington says that of those 600,000, roughly 8,000 drivers have violat-ed the toll, the majority of which have been traveling from out-of-state and were unaware of the lane changes.

“We’ve gotten 34 calls from people who have accidently driv-en through the lane without an E-ZPass,” Darlington said. “They’ll call and say ‘Oh my God, I didn’t know I was driving through the lane until

it was too late.’”To notify toll violators, cameras

are positioned on the toll plaza’s overhead framework. Those cam-eras take photographs of vehicles’ license plates that are using the E-ZPass without valid transponders. A notice fee is sent to the registered address of the vehicle and the $10 fee must be paid in 14 calendar days.

Darlington says that if the fee has not been paid in 14 days, the fine jumps to $40 with a 30-day chance to pay it to the authority. If that fine is not paid after a month, an ad-ditional $35 is added, totally $85. “With the new lane option, we’re trying to make it less of a penalty initially and this allows the fine to ramp up,” Darlington said.

The eventual $85 fine in the open toll lane is equal to the fine that must be paid by drivers in the cash and non-E-ZPass lanes. Before the open toll lane was opened in June, Darlington said drivers who

went through gates without paying in cash or with an E-ZPass were also given a $10 fine which would jump immediately jump to an additional $75 if not paid in time.

“I think we sent mixed messag-es as to what the fee would be for violators when we first opened the new lanes,” Darlington said. “The amnesty period prior to Aug. 1 al-lowed us to clear the board and start on a set date and make sure everybody is aware.”

Since opening the lanes, Darling-ton says there have been no major accidents, but that several vehicles have struck the lane delineators. Additionally, Darlington says that a few drivers have gone through the open 40 mph lane, stopped their cars, gotten out of their cars and tried to hand the $4 toll to booth operators in other lanes. “That’s ob-viously extremely dangerous,” said Darlington, “but so far, the lanes have been used a massive amount and it’s been a great success so far.”

1-Hour ValidatedParking

By Tom ShevlinThe latest chapter in the city's

push to expand the Ann Street Pier into a hub for transient ves-sels played out before a special Coastal Resources Management Council subcommittee meeting on Wednesday, July 18.

During a marathon session at City Hall, representatives for the city sought to dismiss the concerns of a group of abutters comprised of 802 Partners, LLC, Forty 1º North, LLC, and the Newport On-Shore Mari-na, Inc., who argued that the devel-opment would negatively impact neighboring businesses and create a navigational hazard in what is al-ready a heavily congested area.

The hearing, which has no bear-ing on a separate matter that's still playing out in Superior Court ques-tioning the city's claim to certain littoral rights, was the lengthiest to date – stretching over six hours and multiple witnesses.

The city is hoping the council finds reasonable its proposal to extend the Ann Street Pier by in-stalling roughly 393 linear feet of floating concrete docks for use as a public boating facility.

Proponents believe that the proj-ect is sorely needed, filling a void of available municipal touch-and-go dock space for pleasure craft under 40 feet, and providing an economic boost to Lower Thames Street.

It is also seen as a key compo-nent to the city's ambitious Armory Wharf complex, which seeks to transform the historic property into

a hub for visiting boaters.However, before the plan can be

realized, the city must overcome the objections of their neighbors.

Among the more notable testi-mony given during Wednesday's hearing was that of Peter Borden, the managing director of Forty 1º North.

Borden, who has a lengthy sail-ing resume and a 100-ton captain's license, testified that if the city were to expand the Ann Street Pier, it could result in "mayhem" on the water.

"I've been there every day for the first five years of business watch-ing people ram into the Ann Street Pier," Borden said.

If the city succeeds in its stated goal of attracting more recreation-al boaters to the area, Borden fears it could have a negative impact on his business and safety as more in-experienced boaters are brought into what he described as a precari-ously narrow waterway.

He also testified that while For-ty 1º North does cater to large luxury yachts up to 250 ft., it also welcomes smaller craft, and of-fers public amenities such as laun-dry facilities, dinghy dockage, and pump-out services. That point was reiterated later in the day by New-port On-Shore Marina Manager Wil-liam Vye, who noted that his facility also provides dockage for transient vessels, as well as shoreside ameni-ties similar to those being offered by the city at the new Armory Mari-time Center.

Water Rate Increase DropsBy Tom Shevlin

Ratepayers in Newport and Mid-dletown won't be paying as much for water over the next two years as the city had initially thought.

That was the main take-away from a special council workshop held Wednesday in the downstairs program room of the Newport Pub-lic Library.

While rates are due to rise in or-der to pay for federally mandated improvements to the island's wa-ter treatment plants. The increases won't be nearly as high as the 35 percent projected last year.

According to Utilities Director Ju-lia Forgue, the city is currently plan-ning to ask the state Public Utilities Commission to approve a single 17 percent rate increase for fiscal year 2014. The city didn't request any in-crease for 2013.

Previously, Forgue had projected increases of 21.3 percent in 2013 and 14 percent for 2014, however, after further review, she told coun-cilors that the rate increases won't be as much as initially thought.

The news was welcomed by councilors, who reluctantly signed off last year on a proposal that would have seen rates double by 2015. It also will likely come as some relief for ratepayers, who were con-fronted recently with a 22.5 percent increase that went into effect on Dec. 1, 2011.

In addition, Forgye noted that the city will be changing the way it bills its customers, which she ex-plained is expected to mitigate fu-ture volatility.

That change includes the city's move to a "Cost of Service" model which allocates costs based on dif-ferent classes of use.

Under the program, all custom-ers will be assigned a fixed base charge that will vary by meter size, bill frequency, and by class, with different rates applied to residen-tial, non-residential, and wholesale classes.

Currently, the city operates off a system comprised of two separate retail classes. Once adopted, rate-payers will be divided into five dif-ferent classes: residential, non-resi-dential, Navy, Portsmouth Water & Fire, and Fire.

If approved, base charges will vary substantially with smaller me-ter sizes seeing a decrease based on current rates, while larger me-ters will see a significant increase.

For most – 10,000 of the city's 14,000 ratepayers – that use a 5/8" meter, will see their base charge de-cline from $18.75 to $7.69 for those who receive monthly bills, and $10.52 for quarterly bills.

Meanwhile, usage rates will also change. Retail customers will pay on average, 29 percent more, while non-residential ratepayers will pay 35 percent more.

City’s First Class T License

By Meg O’NeilWhen moviegoers visit the Jane

Pickens Theater, they now have the option to purchase a bottle of beer, a glass of wine – even Champagne – to accompany their popcorn and candy. The Pickens began selling li-quor on Saturday, July 21, following the City Council’s July 11 approv-al of a Class T liquor license for the theater.

Class T licenses are for legitimate theaters such as the Providence Performing Arts Center and Trinity Repertory Company in Providence. They allow for alcoholic beverages to be sold for a period of one hour before and after movie screenings and other performances, provided the events begin after noon and end by midnight. The Pickens quali-fies for the $800 per year license, making it the first Class T in New-port.

According to information provid-ed by City Clerk Kathy Silvia, there are currently 119 locally issued li-quor licenses in Newport. In addi-tion to the Class T, there are nine other types of liquor licenses in the city.

The most common type of li-cense is a Class BV, which is a full li-quor license. There are 56 active BV licenses in Newport. To qualify for a BV, an establishment must have an operating kitchen that serves food. A Class BV license costs $2,000 a year to renew.

Class BL licenses permit sale of beer and wine only – not hard li-quor. The establishment also must have an operating kitchen and serve food. In Newport, there are 11 Class BL licenses. The renewal cost for these licenses is $1,500 per year, which is less than the annual fee for a full liquor license.

Several Newport restaurants in-vite patrons to “BYOB,” (Bring Your Own Bottle). According to Silvia, there are no laws or regulations that require these establishments to file with the city, but the city does ad-vise these businesses to notify their insurance agencies because of the added liability.

While the annual fee to the city for any form of liquor license rang-es from $500 to $2,000, the price of acquiring a license is much higher. Because there is a cap on the num-ber of liquor licenses allowed in Newport, and the city is currently at that cap, the price of a license when one becomes available can be as-tronomically high. When a beer and wine (Class BL) license becomes available, restaurateurs have been known to pay between $90,000 and $125,000 to acquire the license. Full Class BV licenses cost even more: Bar and restaurant owners have paid from $150,000 to $250,000 for ownership of those licenses.

Liquor licenses are often sold as part of a package. Speakeasy Bar & Grille co-owner Josh Miles said that the full liquor license was included in the price of acquiring the busi-ness from the former Quahog Com-pany, as well as all kitchen equip-

My father in the 1960s-70s used to show sound movies during the summer in our back yard in New-port to family and neigh-bors. I found the projector and films in a closet and wondered if they have any value? Some of the films are “Flying Down to Rio” with Fred Astaire; shorts with Laurel and Hardy and some cartoons. There are about a dozen films. The projector still works; it is a Bell & Howell. — A Fifth Warder

Dear Fifth Warder:16mm films of classic movies were produced to be shown

by the Armed Forces, schools and could also be purchased for home use. They were not inexpensive when first sold, with a full length feature costing a couple of hundred dollars. With mod-ern technology, the value of this medium has dropped dramati-cally. A projector like yours would be worth under $150 with a sound film in the $20 - $30 price range, presuming playable condi-tion. You must have wonderful memories of your family film nights! — Federico Santi, Partner, Drawing Room Antiques

At Heatherwood, we partner with

ReHabCare, a respected leader

in the field of rehabilitation to

enhance optimal health and

independence for our patients.

Acting on a request submitted by Rep. Peter Martin (D-Dist. 75, Newport), the State Traffic Com-mission has approved installation of a crosswalk on America’s Cup Avenue in Newport, at the in-tersection of Thames Street, just south of the Brick Market Place.

The RI Department of Trans-portation expects the crosswalk work can be completed by the spring of 2013. It will include sig-nalized pedestrian lights that will work in conjunction with the cur-rently existing traffic lights at the same location.

Representative Martin, a for-mer secretary of the Newport Planning Board and former chair of the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission, attended the STC meeting in support of the cross-walk request and other propos-als for Newport that were con-sidered. He said approval of the crosswalk was especially pleasing in light of the recent enactment of the “Complete Streets” bill that he sponsored in the House. The new law requires DOT, as it ad-dresses transportation needs, to include non-vehicular im-

provements such as pedestrian infrastructure, traffic calming measures and bicycle and mass transit accommodations.

The STC ordered a design study on a proposal to rebuild the rail-road crossings on the Newport Secondary Line at Elm Street and Poplar Street, to include accom-modations for pedestrians and bicycles.

The STC also issued a contract for a review of the design of Me-morial Boulevard, based on a request from Bike Newport fol-lowing the death of Dr. Elliot Ka-manitz of Middletown, who died after he was struck by a car while biking on Memorial Boulevard earlier this year. The DOT indicat-ed that because the project will be limited to road markings, the project can be completed by the end of August, pending a review by Newport city officials.

The panel also took under con-sideration a request for a cross-walk on Memorial Boulevard at Thomas Street, to provide anoth-er safe crossing place along the road between Spring Street and Bellevue Avenue.

Gardening TalkThe Seaside Garden Club of New-

port will meet on Wednesday, Aug. 1 at 6 p.m. at 138 1/2 Carroll Ave., the home of a club member. After a business meeting, two master gar-deners will speak. The raffle winner of the Club’s 2nd place Newport Flower Show entry was Rebecca Polncszel of Middletown. Everyone is requested to bring a chair.This will be a Box Lunch Meeting.

This event is free and open to the public. At-tendees are requested to bring a covered dish to share. For further information call Kathy Silveira at 848-5358.

Easton Pond Repairs Update

Over the past month, reconstruc-tion activities have continued near the central section of the dam near the Champlin and Eustis streets in-tersection. Vegetation, topsoil and sediment have been removed from the embankment near Old Beach Road.

Crews have also been installing water bypasses, including sand-bags, pipes and pumps to prepare for dewatering. Diesel pumps and generators will be operated over-night possibly over weekend to establish and maintain dewatered conditions to work on repairing embankments.

As a reminder, property own-ers along Eustis St. identifying any outlet pipes that are discharging to the moat channel should notify the project Resident Engineer, Dave Kurowski at 861-3070 ext. 4541, if they have not done so already.

Also, public access on the bridge crossings and embankments are prohibited through the period of construction.

Newport Named Most Expensive Destination

The result of a new study con-ducted by cheaphotels.org has named Newport as the most ex-pensive destination in the U.S. in terms of hotel costs.

The study used the cheapest double room stay rate as a bench-mark for comparison and discov-ered that the average vacationer will rack up a $319 bill for an over-night stay in Newport.

The survey, however, did not in-clude several hotels in Middletown, which are considered by tourism officials to be part of the city’s hotel stock. Middletown hotels generally cost less than those in downtown Newport.

EDITORIALLet's Rethink LiquorNewport's black market is thriving. And as with other such

markets, as a community, we should decide whether we're content to let things play out in the dark, or shine a light on

the system and seek to change it.In many ways, it's a creation of our own making. As Meg O'Neil writes in these pages, there are currently 119 locally

issued liquor licenses in the city of Newport, including 56 active BV li-censes, 11 BT licenses, and one Class S license. All are aimed at restau-rants and bars, allowing varying degrees of service. And all carry differ-ent price tags.

Ever since the city placed a cap on the number of liquor licenses al-lowed around town, prices have ballooned as licenses are bought and sold like real estate, oftentimes requiring business loans and second mortgages.

In recent years, we've heard of restaurateurs who have paid up to $250,000 for a BV license, which allows for the sale of beer, wine, and hard alcohol.

The decision to cap the number of licenses in the city seemed at the time well-intentioned.

After years of rowdy behavior stemming from the city's plethora of downtown bars and nightclubs, the City Council made a policy deci-sion to place a moratorium on new retail liquor licenses.

While there is no specific ordinance outlining the number of licenses allowed, as a body, the council has resolved to limit the number of li-censes to current levels.

In addition to cracking down on what had become a public safety concern, the city at the time also placed restrictions that licensees be required to maintain a kitchen and serve food – a provision which was meant to discourage traditional nightclubs.

However, can we honestly say that Newport is free from nightclubs?Aren't we just fooling ourselves to think that certain establishments

should be treated as restaurants when in fact Newport has a number of nightclubs whose operations are based on after-dinner crowds? And what of the true restaurants who operate under a beer and wine license? Couldn't they legitimately benefit from the added sales associ-ated with mixed drinks and after-dinner drinks?

When an established restaurant is unable to obtain a full liquor li-cense because the cost is too high, is this fair?

If the city is interested in promoting more restaurant business, then it would seem wise to make it easier for restaurants to open and thrive rather than be penalized for the sins of past nightclubs.

Perhaps it's time that we call a spade a spade and treat establish-ments for what they are.

One idea we've heard discussed would involve the city buying back all city-issued licenses at market value and undertaking a full rework-ing of its license system. That concept, we fear, would be prohibitively expensive.

If, as the city has stated, it aims to make Newport "the most livable and welcoming city in New England," then taking a hard look at how it governs one of its main economic drivers would seem to be a worth-while endeavor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ZONING BOARD

A Natural 'Tern' of Events

Fastnet Expansion Approved

To the Editor;I follow your Nature column in

Newport This Week religiously, and was particularly interested in your offering of July 18, “A Sad Day at the Rookery.” I have lived in Newport all of my life and have always been very aware of the comings and go-ings of the terns each year on our southern shores. Starting perhaps 40 years ago I observed that the terns regularly appeared around the 15th of May, and departed by the middle of August. I have seen these populations rise and fall at their favorite nesting spots seem-ingly determined by how much or how little they are disturbed during their nesting time.

I live adjacent to Bailey’s Beach and some years, if the children have been exploring their nests, they seem to diminish the next year. Many years ago when they seemed

to totally control Gooseberry Island the owner found them to be a nui-sance and broke their eggs. In the next few years their rookery was gone and the herring gulls took over. Now that area is dominated by cormorants.

I, too, observed this year the dis-appearance of the terns shortly af-ter they arrived on schedule in the middle of May. I was mystified, but your article seemed to provide an answer for this sad event. I hope this is not the future for our popu-lation of these beautiful birds, but I guess this is a natural event and it may reverse itself in the future. I hope this will be the case.

I admire your work and find your column to be one of the most inter-esting in the weekly paper.

Fred CushingOcean Ave., Newport

By Tom ShevlinZoning Board members on Mon-

day voted unanimously to approve an application to allow The Fastnet, which occupies a prominent loca-tion at 3-5 Broadway, to expand its facilities into an adjacent building and open up a 890-sq. ft. outdoor patio for food and drink service.

The approval comes on the heels of the passage of a special act in the General Assembly needed to allow the popular bar to expand its liquor license. That action, which was needed due to the property's proximity to the United Methodist Church, came with the endorse-ment of the church and the City Council with the provisions that no outdoor bar, or entertainment be permitted, and that service will stop at 10 p.m.

Fastnet principal Finbar Murray told Zoning Board members that the expansion was needed in or-der to improve the condition of the building. As Murray explained, be-cause there's no basement in the building his cold storage room oc-cupies a cumbersome location in

the heart of the bar. Plans on file with City Hall show that he plans on relocating the storage room in the adjacent, connecting building at 7 Broadway.

In addition to the cold storage space, Murray said that the build-ing would be also used for office space, employee restrooms, and locker facilities.

And while the expanded service area would normally require an additional parking space, Murray asked that a variance be granted. He also noted that he is currently in talks with the owner of the abut-ting property to the east – pres-ently used as a detailing facility – to purchase the lot for additional parking.

Board members found no ob-jection to the proposal, and voted in favor of the plan. City Council-ors are next set to take up the pro-posed expansion of the building's liquor license.

In other business, Zoning Board members:

Approved a rear porch addition at 207 Broadway and a first floor

deck at 81 Prospect Hill St.Approved an outdoor staircase

at 26 Admiral Kalbfus Rd.Continued an application to

maintain a rear deck addition at 3 Beacon Ct.

Reaffirmed a proposal to al-low a pair of rooftop decks at 345 Thames St., the former home of Sa-las'. Zoning Officer Guy Weston ex-plained that while the application had been previously approved, it had to be re-advertised after it was learned that some abutters had not been notified. One of those abutters told board members that he had lived in the area for the last 20 years. "The neighborhood has changed around me," he said, "or-ganically, but also because of deci-sions made by (the board)."

Continued an application by Robert Walsh to construct a new single-family dwelling at 50 Dixon St. pending additional informa-tion from city staff regarding a pro-posed curb cut.

And approved an application to convert a three-family home at 115 Wellington Ave. into a two-family dwelling.

ment. “Our license was a little bit of a different scenario from other businesses,” Miles said. “We pur-chased it out of our receivership – we were lucky in that everything associated with the previous res-taurant became ours.”

In other scenarios, the license is purchased separately or trans-ferred to new owners who will pay top dollar.

One of the most recent purchas-es of a BV Class liquor license was made by Tom Sheehan, whose new restaurant Malt recently opened in the former Tucker’s Bistro location on Broadway. Sheehan said he paid in the range of $150,000 for the full liquor license when he purchased the property. “The price for a liquor license can definitely go up, but it all depends on the demand for it,” he said, adding that when a liquor license becomes available, restaura-teurs typically will bid up the price.

The second most common li-cense is a Class D, issued to private clubs. Newport has 18 of these li-censes, but two are not currently in operation: the Knights of Colum-bus and the Kerry Hill Club. The lat-ter is closed for renovation. Private club licenses cost $800 per year. In these establishments, alcoholic beverages may be consumed only by members and their guests. In addition to the two clubs above, the other private clubs with Class

D licenses in Newport are: An-cient Order of Hibernians, Bailey’s Beach, Elks Club, Friendly Sons of Italy, Friendly Sons of Newport So-cial Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, Irish American Athletic Club, New Por-tuguese Benefit Association, New York Yacht Club, Newport Country Club, Newport Reading Room, The Newport Sportsman Club, Newport Yacht Club, Protective Club, Pyramid Club, and Thames Street Interna-tional Yacht & Athletic Club (IYAC).

Newport’s 15 package stores fall under the Class A license category, with a yearly cost of $1,000.

Hotels with bars must have a Class BT license, permitting the sale of all types of alcoholic beverages on hotel grounds. These types of licenses are defined under Rhode Island State Law as “tavern keep-ers,” and the establishments must provide overnight accommoda-tions. Class BT licenses cost $2,000 annually. There are 12 of these in Newport: Forty 1 North, Castle Hill Inn and Resort, The Chanler at Cliff Walk, The Port, Hotel Viking, Hyatt Regency Newport, Mainstay Inn, Newport Marriott Hotel, Oceancliff, Pier 49 Seafood & Spirits, Rhino Bar & Grille and The Mamba Room, and Vanderbilt Grace Hotel.

Additionally, there are three Class BH licenses in the city. These are issued to hotels and large guest houses. This type of license allows

for mini-bars in hotel rooms and the delivery of sealed bottles of wine by the operator of the guest house to registered guests. New-port holders of these $500 annual licenses are issued to Forty 1 North, Cliffside Inn, and Hotel Viking.

The Newport Yachting Center holds the lone Class J license in the city. Called a Convention Hall li-cense, this type is for halls able to accommodate at least 500 people at tables and chairs.

There is also only one Class C li-cense in the city, owned by Salva-tion Café, and it costs $800 to re-new annually. Previously known as a “saloon” license, a Class C did not allow a kitchen. However, state law was recently changed, and a Class C now allows for a kitchen and holds basically all the properties of a full liquor license, except that the establishment must close at mid-night instead of at 1 a.m.

The most unique Newport liquor license of all is held by the White Horse Tavern. Called the “Class K: Ancient Tavern License,” this type has all the properties of a Class BV, but the establishment must have had continuous use of their license as a tavern for 10 years or more prior to 1730. Having been estab-lished in 1673, the White Horse Tavern falls well within the time parameters. The renewal cost of a Class K is $2,000 per year.

on a daily or weekly basis. Provi-sions are also in place that allow homes to be rented out if done to provide crew housing for sail-ors participating in regattas orga-nized by a recognized yacht club.

Not permitted under ordinance, however, are residential home-owners who rent out their proper-ties for the week or weekend.

Despite those restrictions, short-term and weekly rentals have exploded in popularity in re-cent years, fueled in part by web-sites like HomeAway.com, VRBO.com, and WeNeedaVacation.com.

A cursory review of one site shows over 100 Newport proper-ties being actively marketed for weekly, and even nightly, rentals. In some cases, properties in down-town are being advertised for up to $5,000 per week, while others off Ocean Drive and Bellevue Ave-nue are listed at $10,000 - $27,000 per week.

One home, located on Exten-sion Street, is advertised for rent by the week and by the weekend, with rates fluctuating based on season. The home even has a Face-book business page.

Though some of the properties found online fall into the city's ex-empt class, for those that don't, there are penalties.

Recently, two such properties have been cited by the city's Zon-ing Department for violating city ordinance. But the vast majority of rentals go unnoticed.

Earlier this year, then Councilor Henry F. Winthrop suggested that it might be time for the city to ex-amine its seasonal rental policy for those homeowners who let out their homes for 3-6 months. How-ever, he stopped short of calling for a review of weekly rentals.

On Tuesday, he said that it might be time to take a look at how oth-er seasonal communities have been able to successfully manage allowing weekly and other short-term rentals.

But, he added, "Right now, (weekly rentals are) not something that's allowed, and we should be enforcing our ordinances."

At the heart of the debate is the city's past dalliances with party houses.

During the 1990's, homes rent-ed out to short-term visitors had become a nuisance, as codified in a 1992 ordinance amendment adopted by city councilors, which read in part:

"Short term residential lettings have been the source of noise, congestion, pollution and rowdy and disorderly behavior of ten-

ants and persons on the proper-ty, and frequently occur between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., in addition to violations of city ordi-nances, including the zoning ordi-nance, Rhode Island statutes.

These conditions have dis-turbed the peace of the neighbor-hoods where they have occurred; they have violated the repose,

comfort and quiet enjoyment of persons in their homes; they have produced unreasonable distur-bances of peace, and they are in-consistent with the public health and safety and the general welfare of the people."

While not every property that's rented out on a weekly basis today should be seen as problematic, the city's reticence is rooted in past ex-perience.

"For some reason, there's a cer-tain perception of Newport" that lends itself to problem houses, Winthrop said.

Some properties do become problems.

According to Zoning Officer Guy Weston, one of those properties, located on Second Street in The Point, agreed to pay in excess of $3,000 plus court costs for operat-ing what was essentially an unreg-istered guest house. Another in the Yachting Village was also fined in recent weeks.

But those examples are the ex-ception to the rule.

While Weston has been able to target some known offenders, he acknowledges that enforcing the city's ban on weekly rentals is chal-lenging.

Rather than surfing the Inter-net for advertised properties, the city relies on its existing noise ordi-nance to crack down on offenders. As Weston explained, when the city receives a noise complaint, zon-ing officers are discharged to the subject property. If a noise viola-tion is observed, the occupants are cited and fines may be levied. For those instances when the offend-ing home is occupied by renters, the landlord is sought out and ac-tion may be initiated.

That was the case with the home on Second Street, where Weston's

office was able to determine that the property was regularly being rented out for weekly terms.

However, aside from the few suc-cesses as Weston can attest, tech-nology has provided an easy end-around for homeowners looking to capitalize on its summer tourist season and offset Newport's high cost of living.

Third Ward Councilwoman Kath-ryn E. Leonard, who represents the Fifth Ward, Yachting Village, and Ocean Drive, believes the city needs to "strike a balance."

"I see both halves," said Leonard, a licensed Realtor with Lila Delman Real Estate.

"When I first got elected in 1995, party houses were like hell on earth," she said. "We don't want a repeat of that."

Still, she added that some Re-altors have expressed a desire to abolish the city's weekly rental ban. While she doesn't support a whole-sale change to the ordinance, Leon-ard noted that there have been circumstances where the city has been amenable to weekly rentals.

"We gave timeshares the right to have kitchens, and weekly rentals are allowed in some areas where it's not in close proximity to neigh-bors. Also, if you're in a general business zone, you can do weekly rentals. However, when it comes to weekly rentals in neighborhoods like R-10 zones, where houses are really close together, it becomes a huge balancing act and a huge en-forcement act."

One concept Leonard has pro-moted in the past would provide an exception to owner-occupied two and three-family homes. How-ever, beyond that, she remains wary of opening more areas up to short-term rentals.

For now, it's likely that the cur-rent dynamic will persist: Newport-ers will continue to market their properties to eager vacationers, while the city – unable to keep up with all violations – will enforce the ordinances as they are able.

As Councilwoman Leonard sur-mised, "There's no clear-cut answer here."

"For some reason, there's a certain perception of New-

port" that lends itself to problem houses"

By Cynthia GibsonThank goodness for the Aquid-

neck Growers' Market. Even if you have a garden at home, there is never enough room to plant every-thing. And if you do not have a gar-den, this is the go-to place.

This year’s lineup of vendors is made in heaven.

Paradise Hill Farm is selling the most gorgeous selection of rain-bow-colored radishes! They are a remarkable sight. Each bouquet of radishes is gathered with a rubber band, the leaves are left on and are upright on a bed of ice. They are ir-resistible! farmfresh.org

Pat’s Pastured duck eggs are divine. The creamy beige col-or of these ovate orbs is some-thing you will want to try. A doz-en costs $5.50 but is well worth it. Where else can you buy duck eggs? patspastured.com

For those who desire a mag-nificent arrangement for the din-ing room table, front hall, or guest room, Robin Hollow Flow-

ers has special bouquets just for you. You can purchase their ar-ranged bouquets or separate bunches of homegrown flowers. robinhollowfarm.com

Olga’s Cup and Saucer, owned by Olga Bravo and Becky Wagner, offers many French and Tuscan-in-spired pastries and breads. Each dessert, tart, or loaf is more beau-tiful and tasty than the next. Their croissants are particularly delicious and crisp. An item that sells well is their white or whole-wheat un-baked, very thin, pizza crusts. You can go to any tent that sells fresh produce, select your favorite vege-tables, and make your own pizza at home. Just luscious! olgascupand-saucer.blogspot.com

Absalona Greenhouse run by Mark Phillips specializes in ‘hydro-ponically’ grown greens and herbs. His produce is flawless and flavor-some. Not only are they beautifully grown, they will make any lettuce and herb lover, very happy. farm-fresh.org

Eileen Shea from Maplewood Farms is back, too. Maplewood’s early potatoes are ready for sale. She is currently selling ‘Red Thumb Fingerlings’, ‘Superior’ an all-pur-pose white, and Dark Red Norland potatoes. Did you know that Ma-plewood Farm is famous for their freshly grown sunflowers? They are sturdy, bug-less and perfect. The seeds are specially select-ed by the owner every year and are grown with tremendous care. You can have Provence in a vase. farmfresh.org

Barden Family Orchard has the first yellow fleshed peaches of the season. The cheerful sell-er said they would have many more varieties next week includ-ing coveted white peaches. They looked ripe, sweet, and ready for fresh peach shortcake or a pie. bardenfamilyorchard.com

Farming Turtles has a great tent filled with micro-greens that are unbelievably good. Try the sun-flower seed sprouts and the snow-pea sprouts. The sunflower sprouts taste a bit like nasturtium (pep-

pery) and the snow-pea sprouts are as sweet as sugar. Their display is magnificent. farmingturtles.com

If homemade goat cheese is your favorite, head for the tent with the Simmons Farm sign. They have about five varieties of flavored goat cheese that are per-fect for salads, with crackers, or in an omelet. Their entire selection of cheeses is yummy. They offer sam-ples! Simmon’s Farm also grows the most handsome looking sweet white onions and freshly dug garlic bulbs. simmonsfarm.com

June Love and Stefani Lawton are on hand with their sweet treats. Their very English Sticky Toffee Pudding is a standout! All of their cakes, cupcakes, and sweets are so wonderfully displayed you will have a difficult time choosing just one. Love sells her cakes by the slice, but after your first bite, you will wish you had purchased the entire cake. Save yourself the time, and buy the entire gateau!

For a fabulous taste of the Middle East, visit Pomegranates. You will find homemade hummus. It tastes

nothing like the stuff you find in plastic containers at the supermar-ket. Their tabouleh, baba gannouj, mouhammara, olives, and Arme-nian string cheese are all incredi-ble. They also have homemade pita chips to accompany their dips and salads. They also prepare platters of these goodies for parties. For veg-etarians and vegans, this tent of treats is for you! simonianfruit.com

Provencal Bakery is selling their remarkable ginger scones and huge croissants. Their Tuscan

It is not hard to love the Coffee Guy’s coffee. Move over Starbucks, and Dunkin’ Donuts. The owner roasts his own beans in Middle-town. The cold-brewed coffee is the best. The Coffee Guy also sells three types of iced teas, if you are into leaves and not beans.

The food court portion of the market is excellent as well. Bravo’s wood-fired pizza takes the pie! The pizza du jour is $3.50 for a slice of heaven. There is homemade salsa

for sale and tacos, too. There is a booth for children that

supplies crayons and paper. The market is definitely a family affair.

The Aquidneck Growers Market has everything you will need for a summer, breakfast, lunch, or din-ner. Houseguests would love a trip to this market as an outing. A gui-tarist sits under the shade of large tree and serenades as you stroll, sample, and shop. The market is open every Wednesday until Octo-ber from 2-6 p.m.

tee member in the successful Main Line Antiques Show (suburban Philadelphia), and Wilmington An-tiques Show (Delaware).

“The Newport Show gets bet-ter and better every year,” says Diana Bittel, an annual exhibitor and Show Manager. “Among the 41 participants from 16 states, we have a solid core of dealers who exhibit every year, as well as some new vendors who add another level of diversity and excitement.” Within the beautifully appointed booths are stunning collections of marine art, wicker and garden furniture and accoutrements, fine art, rugs and English and Swedish furniture. Others are devoted to jewelry, silver, books and folk art, among others.

"This year, we are particularly thrilled with the wonderful addi-tion of the extensive Loan Exhib-it from the New Bedford Whaling Museum called, 'Kindred Port: Art & Affluence in 19th Century New Bedford,' says Hamilton. The exhibit features artists who began their ca-reers in Old Dartmouth and rose to prominence in the greater world of American Art. Showgoers will see works by important artists such as William Bradford, Clifford W. Ashley, Lemuel Eldred, Charles H. Gifford, and Albert Pinkham Ryder.

On Saturday, July 27 at 11 a.m., the New Bedford Whaling Muse-

um will present the 2012 Loan Ex-hibit Lecture by Keith W. Kauppila, Guest Curator of the Loan Exhibit. Kauppila will discuss the lives of these painters and how the Old Dartmouth region of southern Massachusettsprovided such a rich and fertile environment for them. His talk will illustrate how this re-gion became “a welcoming har-bor for artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.” Explaining that “great wealth realized from the success of the whaling and textile indus-tries provided the means for art-ists to flourish, causing merchants and businessmen to become art patrons."

Friday’s schedule is highlighted by an 11 a.m. presentation: Resto-ration, Preservation & The Historic in Design. During this round-table discussion a select group of ex-perts including a designer, mas-ter builder, architect, and building products professionals will discuss the best ways to use historical per-spectives in design.

“This show is so impressive,” says Ruth Taylor, executive direc-tor of the Newport Historical Soci-ety. “You can actually find things to buy that range from$100 to items that cost a million. The unique combination makes this show a compelling annual summer event that anticipated by locals and visi-tors alike.”

A New Look at America’s Oldest Library“To Arrive Where We Started,” a

new exhibition at the Redwood Library and Athenaeum, uses the Redwood’s historic architec-ture and collections of art, arti-facts and books to create a dia-logue between the past and the present through new installations and juxtapositions. The presenta-tion explores themes of travel, ex-ploration, access, and thresholds – all especially relevant concepts at the Redwood, as it is located in one of the nation's oldest seaports. The exhibition will remain on view through June 30, 2013.

Conceived and curated by con-ceptual artist Peter Eudenbach, the exhibition flows from the Li-brary building to its adjacent Sum-mer House, presenting objects in thought-provoking juxtapositions, including with aspects of the build-ings themselves.

From a mirror installed in the ex-terior pediment, to an installation in the adjacent Summer House, the exhibition includes the original key to the 1750 building, sculpture, 18th-century terrestrial and celes-tial globes, a ship model suspend-ed above the Reading Room, books about islands, and other artifacts.

Founded in 1747, the Redwood Library and Athenaeum is Ameri-ca’s oldest lending library and the oldest library still operating in its original building. The many addi-tions from the 19th and 20th cen-turies have created a cumulative structure that is itself a collection.

“To Arrive Where We Started” continues the Library’s mission to explore new ideas. Beginning at the Library’s original entrance, the installations will progress along an axis from the oldest part of the building through the more recent additions, concluding with an in-stallation in the Summer House.

The Redwood’s Van Alen Gallery will display objects related to na-

tive Newporter Capt. Charles Hunt-er, who was lost at sea in 1873 and whose 200th birthday will occur during the run of the show. Among the objects on view will be a mar-ble bust of Hunter, a pair of 18th-century globes, books on phre-nology, an antique foghorn, and ephemera related to Hunter’s fate.

Eudenbach’s work has been shown both nationally and inter-nationally at venues such as Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, Exit Art in New York, and le Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, France. A recipient of a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship, Eudenbach has had solo exhibitions at the Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim in Neuenhaus, Germany, and at the Taubman Mu-seum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia, in 2009. He lives in Norfolk, Virginia, where he is an associate professor of art at Old Dominion University.

The exhibition will be accompa-nied by a catalog with essays by

author Mary Cappello and artist George Ferrandi. A program of lec-tures and films is planned.

byVirginia Treherne- ThomasLast Friday, at the Jane Pickens

Theater, everyone felt the love in Rory Kennedy’s “Ethel,” a movie trib-ute to her mother, who was present for the event.

The benefit beforehand was an illustrious affair honoring Ethel Kennedy, the Grande Dame of the Kennedy clan. A whole lot of lovely people turned up to praise and sup-port Andrea van Beuren and her newportFILM festival of intelligent, important, and thoughtful movies brought to us throughout the year at a variety of venues on Aquidneck Island. Van Beuren talked about her mission to “expose people to rel-evant and important global issues that promote discussion.”

Thanks go to Franklin and Company Design and Kirby Per-kins, event sponsors, and a huge committee, all of whom showed up with friends and supporters to pay tribute to this great organiza-tion. And no one was happier than Kathy Staab, owner of the Jane Pickens Theater, that the rain had moved the film from the outdoor horseshoe piazza of the Tennis Hall of Fame to her theater. Most impor-tantly a big thank you goes to van Beuren, who gives of her time to bring us these wonderful films.

Go to newportfilm.com to see the latest schedule of films for next week. “Searching for Sugarman” is one that has much buzz on the fes-tival circuit. It’s about an obscure artist who has been discovered af-ter a lifetime of missed opportu-nities. A perfect story of resurrec-tion, it will show at the Jane Pickens Theater Saturday, July 28 at 8 p.m. Rodriguez, the subject of the film, and Malik Bendjelloul, the direc-tor, will both be in attendance. It is shown in conjunction with the Newport Folk Festival, which will feature the star of the movie in their line-up. It’s all pretty cool.

Also this week, it’s the Newport Antiques Show at St. George’s School, which has been extended to three days this year. Their gala pre-view party is Thursday, July 26, to benefit the Newport Historical Soci-ety and the Boys and Girls Club.

NEWPORT’S GASTROPUB

Good Food, Good Drink, Good Friends

Bringing a Taste of the Islands to O’Brien’sBy Jonathan Clancy

Just about the last place where you’d expect to find a Jamai-can chef is in an Irish pub named O’Brien’s. But that’s where Rupert Edwards has been working in the kitchen for the past ten years, first as a prep cook and now as man-ager. Perhaps because he comes from a Caribbean island, Edwards is able to keep his cool in the kitchen, even in the kind of heat we’ve seen in Newport over the past couple of weeks.

O’Brien’s outside patio is a popu-lar spot for cocktails, and the menu includes lots of seafood dishes in addition to traditional pub-style fare.

What influenced you to become a chef?

I was working in the clubs in Ja-maica, and my friend Mark got me into cooking. I started cooking pro-fessionally at the age of 19 in Kings-ton [Jamaica] at a place called Car-la’s Café. I came to the United States 11 years ago. I enjoy it. I love to feed people – that’s the best part of it.

Did you work at other restau-rants before coming to O’Briens?

I was at Pier 49 for eight and a half years.

How does the seafood in New-port differ from that of Jamaica?

A lot of the same fish will just have a different name, but Caribbe-an lobster is totally different than here – the color, the shell. There is no claw. They have stingers. The taste is sweeter, and it’s meatier.

What kind of fish from Jamaica do you like to cook with?

Red Snapper.

How do you normally prepare your fish?

We use seafood seasoning, fish seasoning, scallion, thyme, and garlic.

What do you usually cook at home?

I eat a lot of seafood and steamed vegetables. I don’t eat red meat.

Do you have any special holiday traditions at home?

All our holidays on the island are like long weekends. So, here you have Easter Sunday. In Jamaica, we have Good Friday, Saturday, Sun-day – it’s like one big party.

What is something on the menu that showcases your heritage?

We have Jamaican Jerk Chicken as a sandwich and as a dinner.

Can you share a recipe for your Jamaican Jerk?

The basic ingredients have to be all fresh stuff: Garlic, ginger, scal-lion, thyme, and onion. Mix them up to taste, and add some olive oil, pepper, pimento seed, and you blend it all up in a blender.

By Patricia LacoutureThe director Oliver Stone has

never been one to shy away from controversy, and in his latest film, “Savages,” he delves into the sub-ject of the war on drugs – an effort which, as he sees it, is a multi-mil-lion-dollar venture benefitting only the power mad and fearless.

Stone’s past films have tack-led tough issues with a ferocity that has led many to think of him as heavy-handed. He doesn’t turn a blind eye to fools and die-hards who worship war and court evil. Before beginning his directing ca-reer, Stone wrote screenplays, most notably the script for the Brian De Palma’s drug-lord saga, “Scarface.”

His extensive filmography spans three decades with titles that in-clude “Platoon” (1986), “Born on the 4th of July” (1989), “JFK” (1991), and “W” (2008).

With “Savages,” Stone’s expertise with irony, satire and in-your-face camera style is evident. The cam-era often bobs and weaves its way through the narrative, and there’s more than the usual amount of vi-olence.

The film’s narrator is part of a love triangle: Ophelia (called sim-ply O) (Blake Lively), lives with and loves both of the men, Chon (Tay-lor Kitsch), a killing machine who learned how to be ruthless by serving in Iraq, and the gentle Ben (Aaron Johnson), who genuinely loves her.

Chon and Ben have cultivated

high-class marijuana, organic pot so pure that it’s causing migraines for the Mexican drug cartel, head-ed by the ruthless Elena (Salma Hayek) and marshaled by her chief thug Lado (Benecio Del Toro). The men are paying off a drug-enforce-ment official named Dennis (John Travolta). The southern California location adds to the heady aura of sex and drugs, but that chang-es rapidly when the cartel tries to work out a deal with Chon and Ben. Then bullets fly, and blood gushes. Hey, it’s an Oliver Stone film.

In a nod to French New Wave directors, O addresses the viewer with utter disregard for the cin-ematic convention of the fourth wall, the invisible space that char-

acters rarely cross in convention-al Hollywood narrative. O tells us, “Just because I’m telling you this story, it doesn’t mean I’m alive at the end.”

The film treats the war on drugs as another big-paying industry. In a recent television interview, Stone mentioned that too many branch-es of the government are involved to make ending this war feasible. The killing and waste of resources show no sign of ending.

Patricia Lacouture teaches film studies at

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

at Boston University.

Based on Don Winslow’s novel about drug cartels, the film stars Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Benicio Del Toro, Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Demian Bichir, Salma Hayek, Joel David

Moore and Emile Hirsch

NATURE

Nesting NotesRecently the adult pair of Os-

prey that nest at Toppa Field/Freebody Park, have been ob-served teaching their three fledglings to fish at both Easton’s Beach and Easton’s Pond during early mornings. Watching these large birds of prey dive at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour and seize fish from the water is one of the amazing sights of nature.

Shorebird migration has be-gun and soon tens of thou-sands of these avian travelers, representing many species, will be passing through our area. They can be observed perform-ing a synchronized dance with the ocean’s waves at the water’s edge, as they seek food that will sustain them on their long mi-gration flights.

Under New Ownership

By Jack KellyRecently Save the Bay staff, in-

terns and volunteers returned to the Gooseneck Cove salt marshes. The summer months are an ac-tive time for the organization’s wetlands restoration. The project which began three years ago is a vital part of their ecological educa-tion mission.

Among the volunteers was a group of 12 high school and mid-dle school Science and Special Education teachers from around the state. Wenley Ferguson, Save the Bay’s Restoration Coordinator, explained the complexities of re-storing the salt marsh system to the educators, “Gooseneck Cove is a window into what’s happen-ing elsewhere- in other marshes

around the bay and we use it as a gauge to understand the best ways to restore these areas.” She contin-ued, “Here at Gooseneck we plant colonies of marsh grasses such as Spartina, also known as Salt Water Cord Grass, in an effort to jump-start the growth of green vegeta-tion or to restore those areas that have been damaged due poor tidal drainage or other issues.”

Another part of the day’s activi-ties centered on what is known as the “High Marsh.” Located in the southeastern section of the wet-lands and not easily accessed, the high marsh was a victim of poor or non-existent drainage for many years. This caused the loss of marsh vegetation and left behind mal-odorous, insect-infested, deep and

barren mud flats. In order to re-store this area, channels had to be hand-dug to allow the tidal waters to recede at low tide. This labor-in-tensive work has been an ongoing mission for the past two years. Two 400-foot long canals, along with countless tributary channels, have been completed through the hard work of local volunteers and Save the Bay staff. Although it requires routine monitoring for blockages, this area is now draining properly and the next stage of restoration can begin.

Lead by Rob Hudson, a Save the Bay Restoration Ecologist, a group of seven, college-age summer in-terns slogged through calf-deep mud to reach the high marsh. The group had to carry digging equip-ment, supplies and 600 Spartina marsh grass plugs to their desti-nation.

John Buchanan, a Coastal Res-toration Intern, was a volunteer on this project last summer also. Buchanan, remarked, “It is hard work, but rewarding to see this marsh being restored and given back to the people of Newport. It helped me decide to apply to Save the Bay as an intern and learn all I could from these folks. It fits right in with my school studies.”

Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and na-

ture enthusiast who enjoys sharing his ex-periences with others.

Saving Gooseneck Salt Marsh

Lifeguards Find Ways to Stay CoolBy Jonathan Clancy

When the summer heat hov-ers, folks will do just about any-thing they can to stay cool. One of the most popular ways to beat the heat in Newport County is to head to the closest beach for a day of fun in the sun. On a good weekend, Second Beach in Mid-dletown can see thousands of beachgoers basking in the sun and taking refuge in the cool At-lantic water.

Working as a lifeguard on a sunny summer day may sound like an ideal situation: Morning exercise routines always include a swim, usually accompanied by some running, and throughout the day, guards are encouraged to use equipment like paddle-boards and rowboats to patrol the water. However, high tem-peratures bring on big crowds, and lifeguards must remain alert at all times.

Recently, Second Beach life-guard co-captain Matt Huff talked about the different ways that a scorching hot day affects the job, and the things guards can do to combat the heat. “The best thing to do on a hot day if we can is, every half hour or so, just grab a torpedo (red rescue can) and wade out in the water with the people. It’ll bring your core temperature right down,” he said. Huff also noted that he makes sure to keep hydrated by drinking water, even if he doesn’t feel thirsty.

But being in the water and drinking water isn’t always an option for lifeguards. There are times when they can’t leave the tower, or they may be working other duties on the beach for an hour or more.

Huff, 21, commutes from Cran-ston every day. This is his fourth year as a lifeguard for Middle-town and his first year as a cap-tain. At the University of Rhode Island, he is majoring in sociolo-gy and psychology with a minor

in Spanish. After graduating next spring, he plans to join the Army Special Forces. “On a hot summer day, this is right where I want to be,” said Huff. “It’s a ton of fun to be working with a huge crowd.”

Eating a healthy diet and knowing when to eat can play a crucial role in lifeguards’ sum-mer survival, Huff explained: “If I know it’s going to be hot, I usual-ly eat a little less in the morning. I try to have a good balance of protein and carbohydrates. You definitely want to have some-thing nutritious in your stomach beforehand. That way, the en-ergy can carry you through the hottest part of the day.” Huff said he doesn’t get too hungry in the high heat. “I’ll pack a cold milk or yogurt in my cooler, and a fro-zen water bottle always comes in handy.”

Other lifeguards also shared some of the ways in which they cool down. Jeremy Frodyma, a second-year lifeguard, noted that some stations offer more options than others when it comes to keeping cool. “If you’re stationed at the rock (surfer’s end) you’ve got Del’s right there. If you’re at main (chair 5), there’s the concessions. Other than that, you’ve got your cooler. I always pack some fresh fruit. It works great to keep you hydrated.”

Brennan Lowney, also a sec-ond-year lifeguard, has a system that he uses to beat the heat. “If it’s hot, you’ve got to start out slow,” Lowney explained. “You take the sweats (pants and shirt) off early, and usually by 11 a.m. the T-shirt comes off, too. You’re in and out of the wa-ter all day. Sometimes you can throw down a root beer Popsicle from the concessions. Then, ev-ery day at 3 p.m., the sweats go back on.” Lowney also noted that the chairs stand seven to eight feet off the ground, so the wind

Have You Seen This Beetle?The Department

of Environmen-tal Management is coordinating a public outreach p r o g r a m for the Asian Long- h o r n e d Beetle (ALB), an invasive insect that came to the United States in wood-en shipping crates from China and Korea about 15 years ago. It affects hardwood shade trees such as ma-ple, ash, birch, willow and elm by boring into the core of the tree and eventually killing it. This beetle has the potential of wiping out thou-sands of the state’s trees if it goes undetected.

The beetle is large, ranging from 0.75 - 1.25 inches in length with very long black and white anten-nae. The body is glossy black with irregular white spots. The distinc-tive antennae that give the beetle its common name are as long as the body itself in females, and almost twice the body length in males. Adult ALB emerge from hardwood trees such as maple, ash, birch, wil-low and elm trees beginning in mid-July through September and feed on tree bark and tender twigs. The adult females will begin laying eggs later on in October and will survive until a heavy frost. During its larval stage, the ALB bores deep in the tree’s heartwood, where it

feeds on the tree’s nutrients. This tunneling damag-es and eventually

kills the tree. The adult ALB then

chews its way out

of the tree the next summer,

l e a v i n g perfectly round exit

holes that are approxi-mately 1 cm (3/8”) in diameter.

ALB typically does not spread quickly on its own, but it can eas-ily be inadvertently transported in untreated firewood and other for-est products. All Rhode Island res-idents are reminded to purchase firewood from local sources and not transport firewood from out of state. Firewood brought into Rhode Island from infested areas can easily bring along unwant-ed hitch hikers like ALB and other harmful forest pests.

DEM is asking that you notify them if you observe any insects resembling the ALB. Use the DEM website to report sightings. The form is available on the DEM web-site, www.dem.ri.gov.

Residents may also call a toll-free ALB hotline at 866-702-9938.

Black Sea Bass are Starting to Bite

By Tim FlahertyThe new moon on Wednesday,

July 18, made for stronger tides, which made for good fishing. The low pressure system that moved into our area on Thursday and Fri-day also added to the good fish-ing conditions. The strong tide from the new moon continued this week, and we expect the good fish-ing to continue, as well

Fluke fishing has picked up, par-ticularly off Ocean Drive. Many small fluke are still hitting at Bai-ley’s Beach as well as Second and Third Beaches. For jumbo fluke, professional flukers have had good catches at Elbow Ledge, Seal Ledge and Price’s Neck off Ocean Drive. They have been fishing deeper wa-ters to 75 feet. On Saturday, July 21, cool northerly breezes made for some great fluking. Alert anglers know that when these winds oc-cur, seaweed and sediment from the bay and the ocean side are car-ried offshore. This makes for high visibility and low turbidity, making it easy for fluke and other species to find an angler’s bait when drift-ed on the bottom.

Patrick Heaney of City-by-the-Sea Charters reported his guests slammed jumbo fluke on the morning tide Saturday. Experi-enced anglers know that the fluke bite is always better in the morn-ing. As the sun gets high in the sky, the bite drops off. Current is also an important factor when fluking. Fluke always remain on the sea floor opposing the current. They will often stir up the sand on the bottom to cover themselves. Their skin tone can actually get darker or lighter, further camouflaging their position. When bait fish swim overhead, they surge up and am-bush their prey. Fluke are one of a few species of fish that are capable

of swimming backward, enabling them to immediately return to their camouflaged position on the bottom. When fluking, always try drifting where the wind and tide are opposing. So, anglers, now is the time to wet a line and fill the freezer with some filets of fluke for the winter.

The striped bass bite has fallen off sharply this week. This is at least partly due to warming water in the bay and at the reefs. We caught bass all week, but many were small and were released. Other sources have reported night bass fisher-men have had a good bass bite. Most fish taken were in the 15- to 20-pound range. Sam Toland of Sam’s Bait & Tackle reported, how-ever, that no big fish were weighed in this week.

Exotic triggerfish were caught in bottom traps by Heaney and others. Brendan O’Neill, a marine biologist and mate, spotted pi-lot fish this week. Pilot fish, Nau-

crates ductor, are a warm-water species and can often be seen near lobster pot buoys off Ocean Drive. We spotted juvenile pilots, about six to nine inches, but they can achieve a length of 30 inch-es. Their distinctive vertical black stripes are in sharp contrast to their light-colored skin and make them easy to spot. This species is most often found swimming with large sharks. They have developed a symbiotic relationship with big predator shark species. The small fish eat parasites on the skin and in the mouth of sharks, helping the shark to remain healthy. Pilots also feast on small remains of the sharks’ prey. They also can be seen near whales and turtles. The spe-cies is called pilot fish because they often accompany ships across the ocean. Ancient mariners believed this enigmatic species helped pilot sailing ships safely to distant desti-nations. (Remember, if you spot an exotic species, please notify us at www.fishfinder1@cox.net).

Black sea bass fishing has im-proved since last weekend. Sea bass can now be found in shallow-er water from 40 to 60 feet. We have been hitting some near the R-2 and 2-A at the mouth of the bay. They usually prefer a rocky or hard bot-tom with structure. This delicious little grouper is a prized catch for local anglers. Peter Andromolas, a local angler and former first mate, had a fine time slamming many sea bass south and west of the Sakon-net lighthouse with his mates Tom Roskelly and Tom Rowe. On Sat-urday, July 21, they landed over a dozen blue heads (large males weighing 4 to 5 pounds).

Tight Lines!

Capt. Tim, of Flaherty Charters, Castle Hill, Newport, is an island

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

angling for more than 50 years, following his father, Frank Flaherty.

Pilot fish congregate around sharks, rays, and sea turtles. Younger pilot fish are usually associated with jellyfish and drifting seaweeds.

Their color is between dark blue and blackish-silver, with the belly being lighter in color. The pilot fish is harmless to human beings

and is edible but difficult to catch.

has more of an impact, which also helps to keep the lifeguards cool.

Despite sitting so high, hav-ing a cooler full of fluids, and the ocean close by, it can still be very hot. During the heat wave of July 2010, when many areas of Rhode Island lost power, temperatures soared up to 104 degrees at Sec-ond Beach for days in a row. “We were pretty much just parked un-der the umbrella all day, just drip-ping in sweat,” Huff said. He ex-plained that umbrellas can shave ten degrees off a hot day, and the lifeguards take shifts sitting under-neath them. There are holsters on either side of the tower to keep the umbrella on the chair as the sun shifts throughout the day.

Lifeguards are trained to keep their eyes on the water, and to make sure folks on the beach abide by the rules, but increased tem-peratures bring beachgoers out in throngs, and many of them are unprepared for the danger that ex-treme heat can present.

Earlier this month, on a wind-less, 90-degree day, four people suffered from heat exhaustion in a two-hour span, said Huff. “We run down with ice packs, water and an umbrella.”

“People who are suffering from heat exhaustion turn a weird patchy red-and-white color,” Huff explained. “If you pinch a little bit of their skin, it will turn white. If the skin returns to a normal color quickly, they are usually okay, but if the skin remains white, then you know they are dehydrated. If they are suffering from both dehydra-tion and heat exhaustion, they don’t sweat as much. They pret-ty much are just roasting at that point.” Huff noted that there have already been ten cases of heat ex-haustion reported at Second Beach this season. The average number in

a year is about 15. Another heat-related problem

at the beach is the soft sand above the water line. While normally it can provide patrons with a cozy place to sit and relax, on hot days the sand’s temperature can literally cook skin.

“The other day, a little girl, prob-ably about 12 years old, came up to our tower and her feet were cov-ered in blisters from the hot sand,” Huff said. “We treated her with some water and hydrocortisone.”

Luckily for those suffering from heat-related problems, a new air-conditioning unit has been added to the first aid room in the Second Beach pavilion. “It’s great in there,” Huff said. “You walk in, and it’s like a little cave. We keep it at about 68 degrees.”

Lifeguard supervisor Joe Bene-detti said that management pro-vides lifeguards with water all day, and sometimes they are able to bring out some frozen treats as well. “We take care of our guards,” he said. “They range in age from teenagers all the way up into the 60s. They’re good people.”

n The Newport Gulls are 25-9 overall this season and currently hold the best record in the NECBL. n Eight Newport Gulls were
