Westport Shorelines eastbayri.com THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2014 VOL. 20, NO. 48 Teachers end work-to-rule; say settlement near A settlement to the months-old Westport teacher contract dispute may be near and work-to-rule by teachers is over, the teachers’ union leader says. “Work to rule ended effective Tuesday,” said Andrew Cottrill, president of the Westport Federation of Teachers. “There are a few outstanding issues left to be resolved, but I’m hopeful that they will be resolved sooner rather than later,” Mr. Cottrill “It is the same salary agreement that we reached in July.” ANDREW COTTRILL, PRESIDENT OF THE WESTPORT FEDERATION OF TEACHERS said. “It is the same salary agreement that we reached in July” he added. “ We are cautiously optimistic that it will be ratified by the entire school committee.” He declined to discuss contract specifics, saying that the package has not yet been approved by either side. Neither the superintendent of schools nor the School Committee chairman have offered comment on those developments. See TEACHERS Page 5 G ra n d so u n d RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Paul Dumont of Dumont Piano signals the crane operator to ease the thousand-pound piano forward to the doorway. Restored concert grant hoisted into new home BY BRUCE BURDETT bburdett@eastbaynewspapers.com LITTLE COMPTON — The rich sounds of a piano built in Boston 116 years ago filled United Congregational Church with magnificent sound Sunday. Surrounded by the robed church choirs, Michael Bah- mann, the church’s organist and choir director, played the concert grand that had arrived only days before in dramatic fashion. Last Wednesday, a boom crane hoisted the thousand-pound restored mahogany piano through the air to the fire escape door. Railings had been cut off to enable the tight fit and a team eased it through with the greatest of care. “And then they rolled it right down the aisle,” said Steve Walker, head of the church’s Music Committee. Mr. Bahmann had meant to be there but was kept away by a traffic jam. So the honor of playing the first few notes went to Paul Dumont of Dumont Piano, the firm that had restored the piano for its new role. “It fills the church to a point that you can’t believe,” Mr. Walk- See PIANO Page 3 WRWA moves toward Head Garage lease Site will become Alliance’s new headquarters They are working on a longterm lease but in the meantime the Board of Selectman has approved a temporary lease that enables the Westport River Watershed Alliance (WRWA) to keep working toward its goal of a new headquarters at the head of Westport. The Selectmen agreed last week to approve a short-term lease for the 493 Old County Road Head Garage property (next to the kayak shop) between the town Landing Commission and the WRWA. Such a deal is needed, WRWA President Tom Schmitt said, so that the Alliance can continue to apply for grants while the longterm lease is completed. Westport Landing Commission Chair Carl Tripp said he expects that final lease to be ready for signatures soon. Asked about protections for the town should there be some accident or injury there before a final lease is in place, Selectmen were told that work will not start until the long-term lease is signed. Voters at last spring’s town meeting agreed that the town and WRWA should be allowed to work out a lease of up to 30 years but Mr. Schmitt said he expects the actual lease term to be shorter with options to renew. Although the deal is not yet complete, the Landing Commission will get an expected $1,280 per year for the 5,000-square-foot garage lot — the WRWA owns the building itself. The WRWA expects to invest up to $1 million in the facility of which about one quarter has See GARAGE Page 4 Holidays are here There are plenty of opportunities to get into the holiday spirit PAGES 9 & 11 $.75 Page 2 Westport Shorelines November 26, 2014 Sharing Holiday Traditions at Peckham's Greenhouse Wreath Poinse s tt Paperw ias hites Amary llis Driver charged in fatal Wellfleet crash Wellfleet police charged a Cape Cod man last Wednesday in connection with a crash in that town that killed a Warwick woman in an oncoming car and injured the Little Compton driver of that second car. James Martin, 46, of Provincetown and New York was charged with motor vehicle homicide, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and marked lanes violation. A police press release did not indicate what caused Mr. Martin’s 2014 Audi to cross the center line of Route 6 on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15, and run head on into the other car. That other car, a 2007 Subaru, was driven by Denise Wilkie, 55, of Little Compton. She and Mr. Martin were treated for non-life threatening injuries at Cape Cod Hospital. Ms. Wilkie’s passenger, Lucille Francoeur, 76, of Warwick, died of her injuries. Wellfleet Police Chief Ronald Fisette said after the accident that preliminary investigation revealed that the Subaru was in the proper lane.

Volunteers are needed for staffing the Samaritans’ crisis hotline, but in order to do so, volunteers must first complete a 15 hour training session. Upon completion, each volunteer will be paired with an experienced Samaritan on the telephone for 20 hours as part of the Buddy Program.Volunteers are also needed to help with grant writing, marketing, event planning, office work, giving presentations and board participation. Since 1984, the Samaritans of Bristol County have been receiving calls on their crisis hotline from people of all ages and backgrounds who are in need of talking to someone who can listen in confidence. Callers may speak about anything that is causing them to feel suicidal, overwhelmed, upset, anxious, burdened, depressed or lonely. Samaritans befriend the callers. They are there for the caller as empathetic listeners. Someone may call just the one time or as often as they want or need. Samaritans do not advise, counsel, diagnose or judge, but try to make the caller feel at ease and be able to talk freely. The person calling need not give any information except what he or she desires. Giving a name is optional and only the first name.

The previous owner said it had once been played on the Boston Symphony Orchestra stage. “It has been in a little room in my house,” he said. “It’s just much too big for the space.” The concert grand was built in 1898 by famed Boston piano company Chickering and Sons, the nation’s oldest piano manufacturer. “The reputation of their pianos was said to be equal to or superior to Steinway,” Mr. Bahmann said. “The best.” He believes listeners will appreciate the difference. “It has a very full and deep bass,” he said, “The piano’s sound is rounder, more mellow, full and rich than modern pianos “ whose builders try to “get the most bright sound and horsepower that they can.” As for the pianist’s experience, “the touch is the same but the response is different” than what most are accustomed to. The keyboard and strings had been replaced so the piano is in excellent condition, Mr. Bahmann said. It did, however, need refinishing. “It had been used for many years at a voice studio and singers usually like to put one arm on the piano. All of the finish had been worn off in that area.” Rather than replace the black lacquer finish, they opted to take the piano down to the bare mahogany “and let the beautiful wood show through,” he said. The “new” piano replaces a smaller 5 1/2-foot Steinway baby grand piano that Mr. Bahmann described as “adequate but less inspiring” in a space of this size. It will be moved downstairs for use by the junior choir, replacing a piano that is perpetually out of tune. With its 2001 Italian-built Fratelli Ruffatti mechanical action pipe organ and now this piano, “this is a most fortunate church and community,” he added. Money for the purchase and restoration was provided by the generosity of the church’s Hawes/Brayton Fund which sup- PHOTOS BY RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. The crane guides its heavy cargo toward the church. ports musical endeavors. The Music Committee intends to pay the fund back through concerts and contributions. One initiative he’d love to see, Mr. Walker said, would be to invite piano teachers from Little Compton, Westport and Tiverton, where most church members live, to enter their best students into an annual piano competition played on the concert grand, perhaps with a scholarship prize. And there will be concerts and recitals in the coming months and years. Antique piano dealer Kenneth B. Brewer says of these pianos, “The Chickering pianos built up until around the Second World War are considered to be second to none and some of the concert grands built around the period of the late 1800’s to around 1925 have some of the most powerful and rich sounds possible, especially in the bass.” The firm got its start in 1823. Among its pianos was a grand ordered by PT Barnum in 1850 to accompany Jenny Lind, the WESTPORT SHORELINES (USPS #021-729) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 253-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O.

GARAGE: Alliance, town work on lease From Page 1 already been raised. It is hoped that grants and donations will cover the balance. Plans are to complete the renovation by June of 2016. The building will replace the WRWA’s present 1151 Main Road Central Village headquarters which the organization says it has outgrown. And it’s a more fitting location, the WRWA believes, for a group whose mission is the protection of the river and its watershed. The WRWA holds its annual River Day celebration at the Head of Westport and built a model rain garden system there that corrals and filters stormwater that flows down Old County Road toward the river. It is also a closely watched location since it is through here that waters from the northern watershed meet the upper Westport River. In addition to moving its offices there, the WRWA hopes to The old Head Garage as it is today. transform the building into an environmental showcase of sorts with composting toilets, solar energy system, rainfall collection system and more. The first floor will be used for education and exhibits while the upstairs will house offices. The building, which was built in the early 1800s, has served as ship chandlery, Ford dealership, repair garage and gas station. Happy Thanksgiving to all our loyal guests!

TEACHERS: Progress indicated in school contract standoff From Page 1 The teachers have contended from the outset that Westport has the money needed to pay for the raises the union seeks. But these latest developments come the same week that the town administrator cautioned Selectmen that the town faces a possible million dollar budget shortfall in the coming year, one that would make layoffs likely. Teachers have been working without a contract since the old one expired August 31 — under the same terms as the old contract. Recently the committee sought the help of a state mediator to help bring the sides together. The July contract deal that Mr. Cottrill mentioned was reached with the School Committee’s negotiating team but ultimately rejected by the full committee as “not financially viable …In this case, the single largest issue separating the parties is compensation,” the committee said in a press release. “We value and appreciate our teachers and the contributions that they make toward educating our children, however, we need to balance this value with the ability of the School Committee and the Town to compensate teachers based on the resources available.” That decision prompted a standoff between committee and teachers’ union. Teachers picketed School Committee meetings and, in late September the union went to work-to-rule status. Teachers will continue to do the “countless” things they do each day for students, Mr. Cottrill said at the time. “However we’re no longer volunteering to do things outside of our workday until such time as we’re supported by the town and the school committee. The school committee can not force our teachers to volunteer for things outside of the school day.” The committee replied by posting a long list of middle and Wednesday, December 10th 9:30am – 7:00pm high school jobs, including coaching and leaders of extracurricular activities, that needed filling. At the same time that teachers halted their work-to-rule stance Tuesday, Mr. Cottrill wrote a letter to the newspaper in which he answered published calls that contract numbers be released by both sides. “I have numbers. They may not be the numbers you are seeking, nor are they convenient,” he wrote. His ‘numbers’ included the act that the property tax rate in Westport is half that of his home town of Swansea, that standardized test scores of students he teachers are well above state averages, and that Westport teachers are “paid 15% less than the average of all surrounding communities. This quite frankly is a disgrace.” Coastal Communities and Waterfront Homes WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 9:30AM – 7:00PM Contact our Westport (Central Village) office for a no obligation Homeowners Insurance quote! • Any property: summer cottages to highvalue homes • Any location • No windstorm restrictions, all deductibles available • Very competitive rates Local office staffed by local people.

Enjoy this treat while it lasts — surely the powers that be are contriving some crisis to push both back where they belong (witness the electric bill). ■ For the gift of music, holidays and anytime, we are blessed— a truly ‘grand’ piano to join that magnificent United Congregational Church organ, intimate concerts from Sandywoods, Common Fence Point, Westport Point, Greater Tiverton Community Chorus, Westport Rivers Vineyards at sunset … ■ That elections are done and with them tedious ‘That’s my Nellie,’ Fung v. Raimondo etc. ads. Now the evening news is back to the usual upbeat fare of miracle meds for baby boomers. ■ That we don’t live in Buffalo. ■ For observant police and neighbors who helped catch, among many others … — A Westport man who was selling the neighbors’ cars for scrap. —The duo who stole intricate seashell ‘Sailors’ Valentines’ from a Westport restaurant. This would be a happier outcome if only the thieves would share the real story about what happened to the artwork. — The trio caught recently in the act of cutting copper pipe from the basement of a house for sale (doing, as usual, tens of thousands of dollars damage for a couple hundred in cash). ■ For imaginative people in our midst: — The lobster boat duo who, by parking in the way of a coal freighter, brought nationwide attention to the causes of clean air and global warming. — Westport’s Roger Chandanais, whose unusual creations (i.e. the salvage vessel Little Newt), and Texasstyle dance hall have kept the town entertained for decades. May next year treat him better than this year (his beloved wife passed away in July, his house burned in September). — Westport firefighter Steve Lopes whose hilarious ‘Portuguese Fireman’ routines have entertained thousands and raised thousands for good causes. May he continue on the road to full recovery. ■ For sweet outcomes: — The Tiverton Yacht Club finally gets to rebuild … Too bad it took nearly a dozen years after the fire and most of the club’s bank account. — The quick Tiverton/Portsmouth Sakonnet crossing doesn’t cost $5 — each way. Credit unified outcry, some first-rate representation and common sense. There’s no understating the bad things that toll would have done to these towns. — Seaside Gas is gone — Tiverton has its best view back. ■ For agencies not too big too admit mistakes. Rhode Island’s Department of Transportation, for instance, which agreed to remove those despised rumble strips from Main Road. Months earlier, this same DOT rebuilt a brand new toonarrow Tiverton boat ramp. (Clearly revealing plans beforehand might have saved a bunch of money). ■ For those willing to help creatures in need — Hawk found with gunshot-shattered wing in Tiverton; hurt snowy owl ferried off Prudence I., cormorant that somehow walked into the Tiverton Fire Station with fishhook in its wing.

Autumn’s leaf painters Just after Westport’s line painting finished at the Harbor, the rains came, delaying the work at Cornell Road by a week or two. “With the delay came the fortuitous accommodation of our leafy friends,” said Alan Powers who took these photographs last week. “The result improved on the finger painting of childhood. Oak leaves, maple and various ash have been captured in the shoulder lines, as in a vintage botanical book.” Westport Shorelines November 26, 2014 Page 7 Bank, funeral homes partner to provide warm clothes BankFive announces its annual partnership with Hathaway Family Funeral Homes for the communityservice campaign, Share Some Warmth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teacher contract: Here are numbers that matter To the editor: I write in response to two opinion pieces recently published titled, ‘Teacher Contract: Numbers please’ (Shorelines, 9/18) and ‘Residents need numbers in school contract dispute’ (Shorelines 9/25). I also write directly to the residents of Westport. I have numbers. They may not be the numbers you are seeking, nor are they convenient. But first, it’s a sad commentary on our society when private businesses and private banks are given billions of dollars in subsidies and bailouts, but public educators, such as myself, have to justify to an entire community why we should be paid a fair and equitable rate. I get it. As taxpayers you foot the bill. I’m a homeowner and my Swansea taxes (12.84%) are nearly double of those in Westport (7.70%). Let me be clear, I’m not suggesting you pay more taxes, nor am I suggesting that your tax- es be raised. So here are my first numbers, because our effectiveness was called into question, 91% of my students passed the Math MCAS vs. 68% for the state. 73% of my students passed the ELA MCAS vs. 57% for the state. Sure, I’m proud, but I’m certainly not unique for Westport. Credit also has to go to the teachers in previous grades who worked with these same students. This leads me to my second numbers — the teachers of Westport are substantially underpaid. This is nothing new. This has been a chronic problem that has been years in the making. A typical teacher in Westport holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree and has worked at least 10 years in the district. These same teachers are ranked 10th (from the bottom) in the entire Commonwealth and last compared to all surrounding communities. We’re paid 15% less than the average of all surrounding communities. This quite frankly is a disgrace. This is about comparing teachers to teachers. To compare us to what you do and what you make is unfair. If you’d like to know more about what we do, I invite you into my classroom, for a day, a week, to experience what it’s like. Until then, I won’t judge what you do, please don’t judge what I do. Much has been made about us beginning ‘work to rule’. Some say we’re using the kids. We’ve been shamed publicly. I ask you, “When is enough, enough?” When are the Town of Westport and the Westport School Committee going to stand up and support us. It’s long overdue.

Call for pricing 401-624-3200 Cash, Check, Visa & Mastercard Busy neighborhood no place for gun range To the editor: Realizing that our Town Council has passed an ordinance regarding the operation of gun ranges and that a single zoning official signed off on the corner of Haskins Avenue as an appropriate site for a commercial indoor shooting range, I’d like to inject some common sense before a licensing decision is made by elected officials. Aerial views of the Tiverton Rod and Gun Club and the corner of Main Road and Haskins Avenue clearly show one rural and isolated location and one densely populated location. The Tiverton Rod and Gun Club purchased adjacent land so that its operation would be further buffered from residences. There is no buffer zone afforded to the neighborhoods of Haskins Avenue and Hambly and Main Roads. Some have asked why this commercial use and not, for instance, a racquet club or gym, needs licensing. Again, some common sense is needed. Guns are lethal weapons. Let’s have gun ranges where they belong — tucked away in a wooded part of town, not next to homes where senior citizens live and school children gather at bus stops. Maureen Morrow Tiverton Plan to evacuate middle school makes sense To the editor: The Westport School Committee made the right decision in voting to approve the administration’s recommendation to close Westport Middle School at the end of this school year. The U.S. Environmental Agency has been putting increasing pressure on the school department to move students out of the middle school building and/or remove or encapsulate the PCB’s that remain after a partial clean-up three years ago. An architect’s report last year estimated this remediation work would cost at least $8 million while other needed renovations could bring the total cost to $16 to $38 million. Considering that the Massachusetts School Building Authority does not provide financial assistance for PCB remediation, the town would be “throwing good money after bad” as one committee member said. Also, as another member implied, there was no reason to risk the health and safety of students and staff for another year, even if the risk is unclear. This is especially true since there are other alternatives for placement of middle school students and staff. The administration’s plan to move Grade 7 and 8 to the high school and Grade 6 to the elementary appears to be the best possible educational plan given the circumstances. Now it’s up to everyone to work together to make the plan work.

In September, 18 students began their grade 8 year at Westport High School. After completing an application process last year that included an essay, a teacher recommendation, an interview and a parent meeting, these students were selected as candidates who would thrive in a challenging but supportive early entrance to the high school environment. These students will have a strong voice in shaping many aspects of the new grade 8 program. One of the first aspects of their imprint has been to choose a name that defines the group of students. The C.O.B.R.A.S., or Class Of Bright Responsible Awesome Students, is the name chosen by the students. The course of study the students are taking aligns with the Massachusetts Department of Education curriculum for grade 8 English, math, science and social studies and MCAS for grade 8 will be administered in the spring. High school elective courses such as introduction to art, piano and guitar, web design, journal- 16th Annual The 8th grade COBRAS gather for class shot. ism as well as the first year of either Spanish or Portuguese are available for students to select to fill out their schedules. 9am - 4pm Saturday, December 6, 2014 The transition has been very positive and in their own words the students have commented that what they like about WHS is, “being able to play sports,” “loving Chorus class,” “the freedom of having a break and the block schedule,” and “the challenging classes”. The high school teachers who are teaching grade 8 have found the students to be exactly as their C.O.B.R.A. name describes; bright and awesome. Every grade 8 student has been assigned a mentor from the upper class leadership STEEL. The S.T.E.E.L. and C.O.B.R.A. groups recently participated in a field trip at UMass Dartmouth, the Youth Civic Engagement Summit, on community advocacy and involvement. The workshop informed students of the power of using their voice to make change, and concluded with a food-packaging event to raise awareness about the issue of hunger. The academic focus is to provide students many of the pre AP strategies of research, analysis and critical thinking that will provide a solid foundation as they begin their high school classes and enter into the AP curriculum. Parents were invited for a coffee hour on Monday, Oct. 20, and the students presented exemplars of their work and spoke about their positive Westport High School experience. The event is FREE.

Director Judy Lemay encourages actors and potential actors to attend. The audition will be a cold reading from the script. The play, based on actual events in 1934 Poland, is the story of a young cloistered nun, Faustina, who has a nearly impossible challenge. She must create an inspired painting, but she has neither the skills nor the money for the task. Inept at the most basic of the convent’s kitchen work, she is also surrounded by skeptics. Some of the nuns suspect she’s not in her right mind. When she finally finds an artist she believes suitable to create the painting she has imagined, he presents her biggest obstacle yet. But, the young nun has a couple of unexpected allies on her side. The play’s five-member cast includes Faustina, a young Roman Catholic nun; Irene, an older nun and the community’s mother directress; Sophie, a contemporary of Mother Irene; Eugene, a curmudgeonly painter, grizzled and gray; and Felix, a young, ambitious priest. The play is scheduled for production April 9 to 12. For more information, call YTI at 508/993-0772 or e-mail ytinc@ verizon.net.

Around the clock BioBlitz headed here BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH tdalglish@eastbaynewspapers.com A BioBlitz is coming to town. For 24 hours non-stop — from 3 p.m. to 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13 — hundreds of people from all over New England, will assemble on Veterans Field for one purpose. Organized into teams, they will set out to determine what lives in Little Compton and Westport and to provide a snapshot of the towns’ biodiversity. The event is sponsored by the Kingston-based Rhode Island Natural History Survey (RINHS). The Little Compton Town Council voted recently to support the occasion and to offer the town as the host. Typically, said the RINHS, BioBlitzes identify more than 1,000 species of animals and plants in the 24-hour period. Participants, said the RINHS, will be “scientists, avocational naturalists, students, and local volunteers.” The organization describes the event at its website (search RINHS bioblitz). Local organizer Hans Hawrysz said the timing was chosen particularly to involve as many of the hundreds of students at Wilbur & McMahon School as possible, for whom the event will come at the tail end of the school year. The school abuts what will be the headquarters for the See BIOBLITZ Page 14 Page 14 Westport Shorelines November 26, 2014 Westport gets festive in the Village, at the vineyard and on the farm Westport Rivers Vineyard gets into the spirit of the season with its 19th annual open house held this year on Saturday, Nov. 29, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This being a winery and brewery, wine tastings all day long ($5) are among the offerings, but the event is first and foremost a family affair featuring talent and tastes from around the region.

Westport Town Farm invites visitors to help ‘raise the wreath’ on the farm barn on Saturday, Dec. 6. BIOBLITZ: A 24-hour search for living things From Page 13 event. “Saturday is going to be Little Compton nature day,” Mr. Hawrysz said. The town and nearby Westport have a large number of nature-involved organizations, he said, and each group will have a booth. This is the only BioBlitz in New England. The two habitats in town to which the teams of speciescounters will deploy, will be the Dundery Brook Trail and environs, and Sakonnet Point, Lloyds Beach and the surrounding grasslands. “We are going to have a whole effort to ask people what they think Little Compton’s iconic species are, what people have a ‘wow’ relationships with. We’re going to see how many of these iconic species we can find,” Mr. Hawrysz said. “Everybody loves these events,” he said. “They attract nature enthusiasts from everywhere, all over New England.” “But the next question is,” he said, “where do the species live, and the next question after that is, how do we preserve their habitat.” Veterans Field and the Town Commons will serve as “Science Central,” according to the agreement between the town and the organizers at the RINHS, and “will provide the space required for the Science Central tent, power for lighting and equipment, parking, camping and sanitary facilities.” How a BioBlitz works The BioBlitz is managed by staff at RINHS and a group of local community representatives. It is organized around specific teams that each focuses on a specific type of life or “taxa” (for example, spiders, vascular plants, amphibians and reptiles). “Each team has a captain, who helps direct the efforts of the team and tabulates the findings. All participants (experts and novices) join a team that matches their interests or skills,” said the RINHS. “The large tents that serve as Science Central will be the locations where the teams gather, work, and results are tabulated,” said the RINHS. “The teams go out in the field around he clock, using or crating checklists to record their findings, and then report back to Science Central where the findings are counted, compiled, and displayed.” Participants must register in advance, and must expect to pay approximately $25-$40 as a registration fee. The local hosts from Little Compton will provide dinner on Friday night for the participants and invited guests, as well as breakfast and coffee on Saturday. A fee may be charged to participants who are not registered team members. BioBlitzes, said the RINHS, “have been conducted around the world and across the country since 1998. The longest running annual Bioblitz in the US has been conducted by RINHS — 15 Bioblitzes in 15 RI communities since 2000 — each operating in conjunction with sponsorship by local community host.” For more information contact Hans Hawrysz in Little Compton (635-8355) or the Rhode Island Natural History Survey at (401) 874-5800, or visit its website at http://rinhs.org.

Among the revisions to the project formerly know as Tiverton Crossings was a name change — unmentioned at the hearing — that appeared on a newly released drawing of the project. Developer Carpionato Properties presented its latest version to the audience of around 75 people that gathered at Tiverton High School Thursday evening, Oct. 20. The project is now called “Tiverton Glen.” Beyond changes to the project itself was a noticeable difference — between Thursday’s hearing and prior hearings — in audience reaction to the plan. This go-around it was more favorable. Last Thursday’s hearing, attended by an audience of around 75 people, was the latest in a series of hearings the planning board is holding on the massive project. The evening began with the developer’s presentation, outlining its revisions to the project. Speaking for the Carpionato group was the company’s Senior Vice President, Kelly Coates, who prefaced his comments with the observation that anyone who saw the signs in town, that say, “Don’t Mall Tiverton,” would have a “giggle.” “We are not proposing a mall,” he said of the group’s plans. What is proposed is the largestever development in Tiverton, that would occupy a 63.4 acre site along Route 24, roughly between Main and Fish Roads, and be built over several years at a projected cost of $80-$100 million. The project would include a score of buildings — a hotel, restaurants, retail businesses, luxury residential units, office space with ancillary light industrial uses, research and development facilities, commercial and professional office space, and one large retail building. As the three-hour hearing progressed, it became clear that supporters of the projected development in the audience outnumbered opponents. At prior hearings in August and September, most in the audience opposed the development. But this time, applause broke out often to underscore speakers’ comments in support of the project. Asked about this show of support after the hearing, and about reports that Carpionato had met with residents in the Villages at Mount Hope Bay ahead of time and encouraged them to attend the hearing and write e-mails to the planning board chairman in support of the project, Mr. Coates confirmed that his group had indeed met with residents at the Villages. We’ve met with them, he said, and also with residents along Souza Road, he said, and we’ll meet with anyone. He said he encourages anyone to call his office to arrange a meeting. Mr. Coates, accompanied at the podium by half a dozen advisors, identified changes in the project that had been made in the recently revised Master Plan. “The hotel has been moved upstairs, to the upper level” of the development, he said. In its place, fronting on Main Road, will be an expanded “historic barn style” restaurant and conference facility. “They’re in high demand,” he said. “We have great experience running conference facilities.” An area in back of this building, between it and Main Road, will be a formal garden, suitable for weddings and a tent. A number of other alterations in the plans the Carpionato group identified include: ■ The existing historic home on Main Road will stay in place; ■The Main Road entrance to the development, alongside the home, has been narrowed from four lanes to three; ■ Parking has been decreased from 2,800 cars to 2,566; ■ The number of residential units has been reduced from 120 to 90; ■ Buffering has substantially increased by 40 percent, and entrances from Souza Road have been shifted to accommodate wetlands. In some respects the project has grown. The revised site plan states that the hotel will be larger than originally presented (up from 61,000 square feet to 85,225 square feet); the number of buildings has increased, from 18 to 20; and the restaurant is larger (from 22,000 SF to 32,000 SF). “The overall percentage of rental space has not been reduced,” said Mr. Coates. The revised site plan shows the net leasable area has remained about the same: previously it was 627,679 SF, and is now revised down to 602,095 SF. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

WEEKDAYS 3-9 • WEEKENDS 9-9 Planning Board Vice Chairman Stu Hardy began the questioning with concerns about the four stop lights on Main Road that would be installed between Route 24 and the entrance to the development — a quarter-mile stretch of road to the north. He foresaw congestion, and difficulty and danger entering Main Road from the side roads, especially with limited sight lines at one or two of the intersections. Superintendent of Schools William Rearick had earlier expressed concerns about school buses causing congestion as they encounter the series of lights on Main Road. The lights will be coordinated to smooth the flow, Carpionato representatives said. At the upper level of the development site, a kind of platea, where the buildings would be located, “there are no green areas set aside where people can sit,” said board chairman Stephen Hughes. “We can increase that kind of space and have it ready for the next meeting,” said Mr. Coates. Mr. Hardy asked about bicycle and pedestrian traffic on Souza Road, to which David Taglianetti, a consultant to Carpionato, said Tiverton’s police chief had expressed safety concerns about pedestrian traffic on Souza Road. “I think the police chief’s comments are irrelevant,” said Mr. Hardy, in apparent reference to the need for plans for sidewalks and bikeways there. Renee Jones said Carpionato is “selling the sizzle and not the steak,” and read a letter from Laura Epke, who said she didn’t believe the cost benefits to the town had been assessed, and called for a report from the town tax assessor David Robert. “It could be the town will not realize tax revenues for several years,” Ms. Epke said in her letter. Randy Lebeau said, “I’m for this project.” “Carpionato is coming to town,” he said. “Great. We need this project to go through.” “At what point does the hotel get built, and is there a guarantee it will be built,” asked Mike Burk. “We really need to energize our town,” said Barbara Pelletier, who said that the overall portion of the town that would be occupied by the project would be very small. “If you live on Main Road for heaven’s sake you better expect change,” she said. A Colonial Avenue resident who supported the project said, “I can’t remember the last time when I have felt so much excitement. If I want open space, I’ll go to south Tiverton. I say, go for it.” Len Schmidt, former chairman ofFor more information about the project, and for most of the official documents filed in connect with it, see: http://www.tiverton.ri.gov/boar ds/planningboard.php East Bay Life Pages B1-B8 East Bay Life November 25-26, 2014 Page B1 ‘Bird of courage’ steadfast and resourceful Christmas begins now As the days grow shorter and colder and we prepare for the winter days ahead, wild creatures in the woods and meadows also prepare for spare days ahead. Wild turkeys, a traditional symbol of autumn and Thanksgiving, spend their days foraging for insects, nuts and seeds. These large, ground fowl are once again a common sight in the forests and fields of New England. Once an important staple in the diet of New England Native American tribes, Europeans nearly hunted turkeys to local extinction by 1900. In the 1940s, human-led breeding and reintroduction programs began and grew to include almost every state except Alaska. “Today, turkey populations have rebounded, and the population is thriving despite having to cope with diminished habitat,” explains Audubon naturalist Kim Calcagno. “It is not uncommon for wild turkeys to be found in suburban and urban areas around Rhode Island with regularity. Turkeys are steadfast and inquisitive. They will come close to houses to enjoy bird feeders and will often spend time picking insects off of garden plants.” Turkeys will wander and forage individually or in groups of up to 50 or more. “Usually, the group will be comprised of a number of females, sometimes called ‘jennies’, and their offspring, including one or more immature males,” says Calcagno. “Mature Y ou may still have leftover turkey in the fridge, but the Christmas officially kicks off this weekend, with several towns and venues holding events or beginning their holiday schedules.

Christmas at Blithewold DALE WALKER The local wild turkey population has been on the rebound since the early 1980’s. males or ‘toms’ stake out mating territories, called leks, on which they will call and strut and display for the females. When parading about, the male will puff up and fan out his tail, drag and rattle his wings and tuck up his head to cut off the circulation to his head so it turns blue/red. His snood and wattle on his face will elongate — all in an attempt to show off for the females, who will appraise his health and strength and decide whether they will mate with him. The male attempts to gather ‘harems’ of interested females in his lek area.” If a male wild turkey is challenged by another male in his territory, they will both display and physically fight with their rivals, biting each other’s faces, batting each other with their wings and kicking with their spiked legs to inflict injury.

The early going delivered high speed surfing — Friday saw Alvimedica hurtling along on a 21-knot broad reach in 24 knots of wind. Team reporter Amory Ross struggled to send off a dispatch Friday … “Where excitement and adrenaline began—disBruce comfort has taken over. BURDETT We’re seeing an average of about 25 knots of wind but the sea state is making life somewhat miserable! “We’ve been [literally] bouncing through gyres, boils, meanders, eddies—whichever you like to say most—of twisting ocean … It is a hazardous path to travel as the boat is moving fast and unpredictably, and there are some fairly sudden and violent crashes. “Working is hard—it’s taken me the better part of an hour just to write this much— eating is harder (nobody is going near the freeze dried) and even the little things like GILLES MARTIN-RAGET/TEAM ALVIMEDICA Alvimedica, with Charle Enright at the helm, launches off a wave in the early stages of Leg 2 of the Volvo Ocean Race. pouring milk powder in a bowl for a dab of cereal can go horribly wrong: Charlie’s just “had one,” and the galley looks like a scene from Scarface after the milk container decided to make a run for it.” After a five-leg inshore race that treated spectators to big breeze, great speed and lead changes, the fleet is in the early stages of a 6,125 nautical mile course to Abu Dhabi. “We’re expecting a pretty heinous sea state,” said 30-year-old Bristol resident Charlie Enright, skipper of Team Alvimedica. “The first two nights are going to be difficult to manage. The breeze is up for the first night, then the breeze drops off for the day and picks up again as we cross the Agulhas Current on the second night.” “The three strongest Western boundary currents in the world are the Gulf Stream off the Eastern coast of the USA, the East Australian current off Australia, and the Agulhas Current off the east coast of Africa,” said Alvimedica navigator Will Oxley. “We can see 4, even 5 knots, flowing towards the south, and the wind is coming from the south. So that creates standing waves. The current is only about 80 miles wide at the moment, but it’s still boatbreaking conditions – we have to be careful of that.” The temptation might have been to ease off a bit to protect gear in the rough seas but that couldn’t happen as the boats battled it out within eyesight of one another. By early Thursday, only 7.2 nm separated the entire fleet.

There have been tales of milkmen and postal workers scared off their appointed rounds by hormonal wild toms. Many people have heard the story about Benjamin Franklin arguing that the tenacious wild turkey should be our national bird, not the bald eagle. It’s true. He wrote in a letter that he thought the bald eagle, with its scavenging and thieving ways, was not a fit symbol and that the wild turkey was a hard working and respectable bird. He called it a “bird of courage” that would not hesitate to defend his yard from a Redcoat. So, as the cooler days settle in, keep your eyes open in autumn for this tough survivor and listen for that tell-tale ‘gobble gobble’ in the woods and meadows of Rhode Island.

Why go out and buy a turkey for Thanksgiving when there are several wandering around my yard? Can’t I just…take one? Well, actually you can, but there is a strict set of guidelines you have to follow if you do not want to break the law (all of which can be found at dem.ri.gov). In the East Bay, you will have to be in Tiverton or Little Compton. You must have a turkey permit as well as a valid hunting license, and choose your weapon wisely: you are limited to 10, 12, 16 or 20-gauge shotguns, with shot sizes 4, 5, or 6, or a longbow of not less than 40 pounds pull. Crossbows and other guns are not permitted. You cannot use live decoys, dogs, or snares. If this doesn’t sound like a nuisance to you, then you are likely a seasoned hunter and already knew the rules. The rest of us should probably just get to the store/butcher/farm and buy one: pop-up timer optional. red, (pink) white or blue. Although wild turkeys are dark overall, they have a bronze-green iridescence to most of their plumage. Although usually spotted on the ground foraging for food, turkeys fly up into trees to roost in groups at night. Turkeys’ “gobbles” can be heard a mile or more away. Wild turkeys can run about 25 miles per hour. A young turkey is out of the nest and walking around searching for food within 24 hours of hatching.

East Bay Life November 25-26, 2014 Page B3 POLI-TICKS F Has anything really changed? ormer Common Cause executive director, Phil West, is making the rounds at local bookstores to promote his book, “Secrets and Scandals: Reforming Rhode Island 19862006”. Recently, he was at Barrington Books. Much of the presentation that evening focused on the “secrets” behind the scenes where Arlene legislative loyalty VIOLET to conflicted General Assembly leaders led to catastrophic results for citizens. Exhibit number 1 was the failure of the legislature and Governor Edward DiPrete to prevent the RISDIC credit unions from crashing and holding average people’s money hostage for many months. Businesses failed and many a citizen had health problems stemming from the fear of losing their life savings. Examples of self-dealing abound in the book. Meg Curran, a talented appellate attorney, had her nomination to the Rhode Island Supreme Court snuffed out because she wasn’t a “sure vote” on a separation of powers challenge where Assembly leadership wanted a ruling to secure their grip on power. Save the Bay, a stellar environmental organization, had a sound program for marsh preservation. The effort bit the dust because its board of directors had the temerity to join a coalition urging the separation of powers. Rank and file legislators were punished if they tried to open up the “sausage making” process of politics by transparency. Stunningly, a theme in the book is how General Assembly powerbrokers persistently made decisions to feather their own nests with nary a thought to the public good. Has much changed ? The Providence Journal reported several stories which indicate “NO”! Here’s one: Former Attorney General Patrick Lynch lobbied his former office several times on behalf of clients but never registered as a state lobbyist. He pushed incumbent, Peter Kilmartin, to decline signing on to an Attorneys General-led initiative to ban online gambling. A seasoned prosecutor sent an email congratulating Lynch on his excellent advocacy. What is most astounding about the story, however, is that 3 people, i.e. a present and past attorney general and a deputy attorney general, never thought twice about whether Mr. Lynch was registered as a lobbyist. Even more disturbing is the politicization of that office by Mr. Lynch. His business’ website touts his experience as an attorney general who guides his clients through the national network of attorneys general associations and works with them to build relationships and tailor a communications and outreach plan “specific to their needs.” In other words, he trades on his past associations with current attorneys general to help his clients trump the proposition that the attorney general is supposed to be the people’s attorney not businesses’ lackey. It’s not surprising. Prior to his election Mr. Lynch lobbied for the development of a controversial industrial park which ultimately cost taxpayers $16 million. The development was linked to the Resource and Recovery Corporation (RCC) where malfeasance abounded. As Attorney General Mr. Lynch let the statute of limitations run out on any action against board members of RCC. Ditto for his inaction against his buddy, Mayor Charles Moreau. When state agencies (including himself) failed to report compensation paid to outside consultants, he did nothing. Thousands of dollars of charges for private cell phone use by his Pawtucket crony, then-speaker John Harwood and others, and the legislative program which “sold” computers to unknown people at a fraction of their costs all went uninvestigated. Now he wants to politicize other attorneys generals as well. Same-ol’, same-ol’. NO FLUKE DEM’s “Lean” initiative big success D on’t you love it when a plan comes together? It did last Thursday night at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography as commercial fishermen met at a Department of Environmental Management (DEM) workshop and public hearing to discuss summer flounder Capt. Dave (fluke), scup, MONTI black sea bass and monk fish regulations for 2015. In the past fisherman and Department of Environmental Management (DEM) staff would meet separate nights for each species and then have a public hearing. Last Thursday it all got done in one night. The new format, initiated by DEM Director Janet Coit’s Lean Initiative for the department, enhanced participation (about 35 fishermen were present) and the information to base input on was fresh. Fishermen listened to historical fishing activity, fishing stock assessments and status and recommendations for each of the species and then were able to comment, make suggestions and recommendations on how to handle regulations. The workshops were followed by a public hearing. Although the meeting went well, there was healthy debate, most of which focused on summer flounder. Quotas for the year were slightly enhanced due to NOAA putting a hold on its Research Set Aside program, shifting quotas from the program to state quotas. Gillnet fishermen who set nets in a stationary place wanted aggregate quotas and not daily quotas. Patrick Duckworth, a gillnet fisherman said, “We go to the net one day and there is nothing in it… the next day we might be lucky and catch a lot of fish… if a daily quota rather than an aggregate quota is in place we end up throwing back fish… so I am not in favor of daily quotas.” Jerry Carvalho of the Rhode Island Fishermen’s Alliance, who advocated for daily quotas with no aggregate in summer and fall said, “We are fishing for all residents of the State of Rhode Island, everyone has a right to the fish. Daily quotas will give inshore fishermen the same right to the fish that offshore boats have.” Donald Fox, owner of offshore trawlers, said, “We do not what the rules to change, the exemption certificate and aggregate program in place allows us to harvest fish when we find them… moving to a daily quota with no aggregate will hurt offshore trawlers.” The cost of fuel to operate larger boats offshore alone would make it impractical for the trawlers to fish if rules were to change as they would not be able to catch enough fish on a trip. This is what a workshop and public hearing is supported to be about. People express their point of view. You have multiple user groups all vying for the same resource. After listening to input from fishermen, DEM staff members make a recommendation on how specie regulations should be in 2015, the Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council votes on regulation recommendations, and then all the information… the public comments, DEM staff recommendations and RIMFC recommendations go to Director Coit for a final decision and regulation implementation. I do love when a plan comes together. Congratulations to Janet Coit and her staff for improving upon a government regulation process. It will save tax payers and fishermen thousands of dollars and hours of time while enhancing the process for fishermen. Where’s the bite? Cod and tautog fishing remain strong.

It can be tempting to overload on finger foods, espeEmily cially when the DELCONTE party doesn’t include a main meal. Here are some ways to navigate these food festivities: 1. Eat off a small plate. Grab a small cocktail plate, and fill it with the appetizers and/or desserts you would like. Then walk away from the display of food and enjoy what you’ve put on your plate. 2. Don’t sit at the table with food. Sitting with all of the treats in front of you makes it a lot easier to mindlessly eat. 3. Always have a glass of water in your hand. By carrying around a glass of water, you are keeping your hands and mouth occupied with a task other than eating. Plus, by staying hydrated, you are less likely to overeat. 4. Look for protein and vegetables. Focus on the proteins and veggies provided. Pick nuts or cheese or sliced carrots or peppers with dip. Eating these foods will help to fill you up and stay full longer. 5. Socialize. Enjoy the party. Great conversation will distract you from overeating.

WARREN Joanna Krystman lives in Tiverton and feels she truly belongs in Rhode Island. She feels blessed to be near the water every day. After leaving her homeland of Poland in 1985 and living in Greece for two years while waiting for a visa to the States, she arrived in Michigan and studied to become a computer programmer. She came to Rhode Island in the late 1990s and is so thankful for the community and her proximity to Narragansett Bay. As a team member of Coldwell Banker Guimond Realty Group, Joanna prides herself to be a part of the firm's 35 years of real estate brokerage in the Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas. She is the mother of three children. WHY A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE? "I love people. To me, real estate is about helping people through an exciting and challenging experience. When I first came to this country in 1987, I met some very helpful agents, and I guess that is when I first thought about real estate as a career." PAST JOBS/CAREERS: "When I lived in Poland, I was a decorator for some very large department stores in my home city. It was creative and fun. When I came to the States, we lived in Grand Rapids, Mich., where I trained to become a computer programmer. I continued that profession when we moved to Washington state and when we came to Rhode Island. I began training and working in real estate when we lived in Pawtucket." MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF REAL ESTATE: "I love helping buyers search for homes. It certainly is more time consuming than listing a home, but I guess I am a natural shopper so I love to assist buyers. I am proud to be an Accredited Buyer’s Representative." HOBBIES: "My husband, Paul Anderson, and I love to spend as much time as possible on out boat, Meander. It not a big boat, but it gives us the opportunity to cruise around Narragansett Bay and nearby Massachusetts and visit some very beautiful places. We have met many wonderful people through cruising our local waters. I also love to fish." VOLUNTEER WORK: "I have always Joanna Krystman Guimond Realty 401-263-6550 enjoyed working with dogs and have volunteered as a dog walker." BEST DAY OFF: "A summer boat trip to Cuttyhunk Island with our dogs, Jack and Cooper, for a picnic and hike." LUNCH WITH ANYONE: "I really miss my daughter, Anya, who lives in Australia. I would love to have lunch with her at a waterfront restaurant in Melbourne, Australia." BEACH OR MOUNTAINS: "The beach. Or near the beach. Or looking at the beach from Meander. Or looking at mountains from the beach." MARKET PREDICTIONS: "Of course no one really knows what is coming, but I sense that more and more people are attracted to our area because of its history and beauty. I hope the economy continues to improve so that young people can afford to purchase a home in our beautiful New England." HOLIDAY FAMILY TRADITIONS: "My favorite family tradition happens on Christmas Eve. It is called Wigilia. Polish families share a meal of 12 meatless dishes, including pierogi, with family and friends. We 'break bread' together and share a piece of the oplatek and a kind word of thanks and appreciation with each person at the table. Many of our neighbors and friends have embraced this tradition and we now need to set up three tables. It is joyous but serious and sincere. I always miss my family members, who can’t be here, but I am happy to have so many close friends willing to share to share this tradition." The Sign you want.

An outdoor deck faces the beach. The property includes a separate one-bedroom guest house, also on the beach. As temperatures drop in Southern New England, many are dreaming of warm summer days and long lazy hours lounging on the beach. Although winter has yet to officially arrive, thinking ahead to summer is what keeps many from suffering the winter blues. Actually owning a piece of oceanfront property in Westport could be a dream come true. Waking up to the sounds of the rolling waves and frisky seagulls is possible on the south coast of Massachusetts. In fact, the property at 144 West Beach Road is two properties for the price of one. On a spacious lot, enjoy more than 13,500 square feet of waterfront oasis. The main house has three bedrooms, and the guest house one bedroom, with sweeping views of Rhode Island Sound and Buzzards Bay. Built in 1938, the Cape Cod style home is as quaint and New England as can be. It's all about the beach and barefoot living on the ocean at this slice of heaven. Wake up to bright sunrises and end the day enjoying a glass of wine on the deck as the sun goes down in the western sky. What a way to end a day surfing, sailing or swimming right out your front door. No need to leave this paradise and updated property. Easy to maintain, bring your swim suit and live carefree and more importantly, stress-free. Well water and electric heat make the home a year-round oasis.

APR stands for annual percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates, provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution.
