LITTLE COMPTON — Pete
Dellasanta, 15, rises well before
dawn each day to feed and
water the cattle he’s raising for
his company, Pete’s Beef.
He’s too young yet for a driver’s license so his mom usually takes him up to Tiverton for
the chores. After school, he’s
back at it — his herd’s needs
can’t wait.
Max Peckham, 16, operates a
blacksmith forge in an old barn
he’s set up on the family farm.
Working over the forge’s heat,
he shapes tools, hooks and
more for sale.
Olive Allen, 13, has created a
soap kitchen in the family dining area. Over the kitchen stove
she brews scented soaps and
lip balm that her business —
Little Bee Soaps — sells at local
fairs and even overseas.

Internet outrage and even a
fund drive for a pizza delivery driver followed a YouTube video
posting that shows the driver
being threatened and mocked
after being forced to return what
he believed was a tip given by a
Westport used car dealership.
He may have lost that tip, but
driver Jarrid Tansey was compensated by scores of viewers who
voiced dismay over his treatment
and took matters into their own
hands.
Within hours of the video posting, a well-wisher had launched
an online gofundme donation
drive for Mr. Tansey. As of last
weekend, the site had raised
$31,693.
The organizer (Amanda) wrote:
“Thank you everyone for the
outpouring of donations and
words of support for Jarrid! This
has been an amazing experience.
We have shut donations down at
Jarrid’s request. He is so excited
about his opportunities thanks to
you. This gives him and his family
a lot to look forward to.”
The video, which appeared to
have been taken by a security
camera at the dealership, has
since been yanked from YouTube
(but not before it was copied and
reposted on other sites including
Liveleak, Reddit under such titles
as “Idiots hassling a pizza delivery guy”). The dealership’s owner
and son have reportedly apologized to the pizza business. Still,
the angry postings pour in.

tdalglish@eastbaynewspapers.com
SAKONNET AREA — Plans are
underway to paint Tiverton and
Little Compton purple for five
days, from Monday, Jan. 26
through Friday, Jan. 30.
It’s all a part of a national program called Project Purple, that
its website (goprojectpurple)
says was “launched to break the
stigma of addiction, bring awareness to the dangers of substance
abuse and shed light on effective
treatment practices.”
Expect to see purple lights on
public buildings, purple bows on
mailboxes, purple sashes on
businesses, people sporting purple ribbons and wearing purple
silicone wrist bands, and purple

career.
“It’s all part of an effort to celebrate the success we’re having in
Tiverton in recognizing our students for their safe and healthy
choices, by adding a little splash
of purple to our clothes, homes
and businesses,” said Tiverton
Prevention Coordinator Rebecca
Elwell.
“Too often we hear more about
the kids who use alcohol and other drugs and forget that most
Tiverton teens don’t go down that
road,” Ms. Elwell wrote in the
Coalition’s recent newsletter.
The origins of the Project Purple
idea are recounted on its website.
Mr. Herron was speaking at a
local high school in 2011, and the
front row of students were wearing purple shirts. After Mr. Herron
shared his story, one of the students wearing a purple shirt
raised her hand, and stood up to
speak.
As the story goes, student said,
“Thank you Mr. Herren for validating what we do. We are the
sober students of this high school
and each year we take a pledge to
not use drugs or alcohol.”
The experience inspired Mr.
Herron to launch the Project Purple initiative, which has since
gone nation-wide.
Last year the Town of
Portsmouth sponsored a “Project
Purple” event during the last week
in January, with many of the same
features (lights, ribbons, bows) as
Tiverton iand Little Compton are
planning for this year.
Ms. Elwell said planning for the
week has already started. “We’re
flying blind, this is our first year,”
she said.
Anyone interested in participating in the local Project Purple
should call Ms. Elwell at 401-8355311 (in Tiverton) or Polly Allen,

table.

It’s feeding time in the late afternoon for Pete Dellasanta’s three Devon cattle.
Olive Allen — Little Bee Soaps
LITTLE COMPTON — Olive Allen, 13,
has created a thriving soap kitchen in the
house where she and her family live on
South of Commons Road in Little Compton.
Her workshop has a homey feel, and
centers around the stove where she
melts down cakes of glycerine in a double boiler, and a long wooden dining
table on which sits a mold where a dozen
or so soap bars are cooling.
Next to the mold is a display of some of
her soaps, scrubs, and lip balm. Though
scents of lavender, eucalyptus and vanilla hang in the air, her product labels indicate that lemon and pachouli are also
among her soap offerings.
Her business is called Little Bee Soaps
— her brother Cyrus, 15, makes the
labels for her product.
Business in thriving, though she says
she’s having some problems “with overseas shipping.”
The Wilbur & McMahon eighth-grader
started making soap at home a year ago
after a crafting group she participated in
with friends the year before sort of “fell
apart,” she says, as the kids moved on to
other things.
“One of my best sellers is a white
lavender sugar scrub,” she says.
“I make it in my kitchen.” It’s also her
favorite.
“It takes about 30 minutes at the most”
to heat the ingredients (glycerine, and
scented essential oils) in the doubleboiler. “A small batch takes less.”
After the cooking, she pours the
molten mixture into molds. “Then I let it
set for 15-30 minutes to cool.”
The finished product is then ready for
market.
“I did my first soap fair last Memorial
Day Weekend,” she said. It was at the
Garden and Herb Festival in Tiverton
Four Corners.
“I sold 20 bars or so,” she said. Her
original batch “was a decorative shape
for the home.”
She made a switch after that, “and
started making bars that you use in the
shower.”
That quickly led to the lavender sugar
scrub. For it, she uses a base of white
glycerin, and then mixes in lavender
essential oils and white sugar.
“I order the ingredients online as
much as I can,” she said, but also gets
some at Michael’s in Dartmouth.
So far she’s sold her soaps at two fairs
in Little Compton, two at Tiverton Four
Corners, at a two-day fair at Sandywoods
in Tiverton, at another two-day fair in
Dartmouth, a summer fair — “at the park
in Adamsville across from the Grist Mill”
— and at a two-day event called Connecting for Change in Providence.
How’s business at those shows, she’s
asked? “About $100 a day.”
That’s for four to six hours work selling
home-made soap at a table or booth, in
what she says is a really pleasant environment.
“I want to continue to do it. I love it, It’s
fun to make it,” said Olive, who starts
high school next fall. “It’s fun and a really
good experience, especially Connecting
for Change.”

LITTLE COMPTON — Every morning
about 4 a.m., Pete Dellasanta. 15, catches a
ride seven miles up the road from his
Peckham Road home in Little Compton to
feed three Devon cattle he’s raising on
rented pastureland just north of Pardon
Gray Preserve in Tiverton.
When it’s cold, he also makes sure the
cattle have water to drink by breaking ice
on their troughs with a sledge hammer.
After caring for the animals, Pete returns
home to catch the 6 a.m. school bus to
Portsmouth High School where he’s a
sophomore. He repeats the process of
feeding and watering the creatures after
school.
“I have an interest in farming and want
to pursue it,” Pete says of his twice-a-day
routine.
“I like working hard and I like what farmers do; they produce the food. I respect the
work that they put in, and I like to see what
comes from the work they do.”
Because Pete hasn’t got a driver’s license
(he hopes to get one next spring), one of his
parents drives him to the pasture for the
feeding chores, usually his mom.
“She doesn’t mind. She likes what I’m
doing,” Pete says.
He speaks with satisfaction the path he’s
chosen. “I like knowing and seeing what I
make and produce. I worked in an apple
orchard in town and that got me into it.”
In October, 3013 Pete bought two Red
Devon cattle from a farmer in Jamestown.
It’s an historic English breed suggested to
him by Skip Paul, owner of Wishing Stone
Farm in Little Compton. The animals
weighed 700 pounds when he bought
them.
Pete named the two creatures Napoleon
and Titus. They were slaughtered at a
USDA-certified facility in August, 2014,
when they each weighed 1,200 pounds.
“I kind of knew it was going to happen,”
Pete said. “I was sad to see them go,” but
that’s part of farming.
He sold the meat to Wishing Stone Farm
(“Pete’s Beef’” the product’s called) and “to
a few friends.”
His business is called “Pete’s Farm,” and
can be accessed online by going to farmfresh.org and typing in the name of his
farm.
He recently bought three more sixmonth-old Devons (two steers and one
cow), each weighing 400 pounds, that he
expects to slaughter later next year, he says.
Meanwhile, he says, he’s planning to try
some rotational grazing, a method of foraging by moving animals from one grass-rich
grazing area to another.
“They’re a very calm breed,” says Pete of
his Devons. “They follow me around wherever I go. They’re peaceful guys too. They
come up to you and sniff you.”
“Devons are bred to do well on pasture
grass, and people are moving to pastureraised beef. They have a great ability to put
on weight on pasture grass,” he says.
“I think it’s great some young people are
getting into the movement of becoming
artisans and craftsmen and farmers. There
are going to be opportunities for people
thinking outside the box,” Mr. Paul says.
“I’m going to start with cattle and then do
vegetables or something like that,” says
Pete.

Peckham, 16, aspires to be a

hook to hang on a wall. With a
cross peen hammer against his
main anvil he banged a red-hot
piece of metal he’d pulled from
the fire.
“I’m putting a round taper on a
rod,” he explained. And a few minutes later a section of the rod
emerged from his labors as a
hand-crafted J-hook.
“I find most people don’t really
know what I do,” Max says. “They
just associate it with modern
welding. Most of my friends think
I just make swords or something.
There’s a lot of explaining I can do
to describe what I do.”
Max says a “forge” is both the
building where he works and the
fire pit where he melts down the
steel. He calls his business Peckham Forge.
Surrounding him in his forge is
assorted clutter that gives evidence of his chosen trade, including scores of pieces of scrap metal
of all shapes and sizes, some of it
found around the farm, some
obtained from Mid-City Steel in
Dartmouth, all to be melted down
and reshaped.
Nearby sit 50-pound bags of
smithing coal that Max burns
through at the rate of a quarter
bag every four or five hours.
Max is a sophomore at
Portsmouth High School. When
he was 13, he says, his first shop
was the family garage.
“I started out messing around
melting lead, and that interested
me. Then I got into steel and made
nails, and that progressed into
making tools.”
The proof of his progression can
be seen on a work table along one
side of his forge. On it is a display
of some of the garden tools he’s
made — hoes, and digging and
weeding tools with forged black
metal ends and solid wooden
handles.
“I’m now making a trellis for
somebody who wants something
to cover an ugly wall,” he says.
“I like how you can actually
move metal while it’s almost
molten hot and create something
out of it,” Max said. He admits he’s
occasionally burned himself.
Max is mentored by George
Pare, a blacksmith on Winslow
Road in Little Compton whose
work is renowned.
“We don’t meet up too often,
but when we do he’s inspired me,”
Max says.
Mr. Pare helped Max build his
forge in the old barn, and to install
a hood to take out the bad fumes.
“George has given me a lot of
tools, which is very nice of him,”
says Max, material support that
includes an anvil, a forge, a hammer, “and tongs we made together.”
Mr. Pare says that when he started out he had mentors. “To have
the opportunity to provide the
same to Max has been one of the
best things of my life. He’s been an
inspiration to me.”
Max is learning the art of blacksmithing, by doing it. Mr. Pare
says that’s the way “you pick up
skills, learn how to work alone,
and how to deal with barriers.”
Max says there are colleges that
offer blacksmithing, and small
classes offered nationwide “that
offer teaching specific to what I
want to do.”
In April Max heads to Brandon,
Mississippi to study for five days
under Brian Brazeal. “We’ll make
tools and other things,” Max says,
“and I’ll also learn his style of
blacksmithing. I’m trying to follow
his style of blacksmithing.”
“Max impresses me deeply,”
says Mr.Pare. “He’s completely
passionate about his trade. He’s
starting at a very young age. He
can go far if he wants. What it
takes is the real passion he has
and the skill and focus.”
Tools that Max has made are
sold in the family’s business: Peckham’s Greenhouse, at 200 West
Main Road, Little Compton. Special orders can be placed, or contact with Max can be obtained,
through his email address: maxpeckham@aol.com.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is

Two Mullin Hill parcels preserved
tdalglish@eatbaynewspapers.com
LITTLE COMPTON — Two
gifts last year, one of land, the
other of a conservation easement, will provide protection to
two parcels of forest in the
Quicksand Pond watershed area
here.
The Nature Conservancy of
Rhode Island announced the
land preservation donations
recently in its year-end newsletter.
“The protection of these tracts
will help conserve unspoiled
headwater streams that supply
freshwater to Quicksand Pond,”
it said.
“If there’s another healthy
coastal pond still surrounded
with so much unspoiled forest,
we haven’t found it,” said John
Berg, Sakonnet landscape manager for the Conservancy.
The protected 26 acres lie in
two parcels, one at the top and
the other at the bottom on the
north side of Mullin Hill,
The total Quicksand Pond
watershed, he said, is roughly
2,500 acres. Also in the area is the
75-acre Goosewing Beach Preserve, which the Conservancy
purchased in 1989 and has cared
for ever since.
“We’ve been concerned about
this area for a long time,” Mr.
Berg said. “We’re glad for every
step folks can take to help protect this one of a kind living
resource.”
Among other reasons, these
parcels are protected for their
biodiversity, he said. “We hope
these donations will lead to
more.”
The areas are not open for
public access, he said.
The Conservancy said it pro-
Artificial reef hearing
continued to Jan. 27
The state Coastal Resources Management Commission has
continued an application to install three artificial reefs in East
Bay waters.
The meeting is now scheduled to be held on Tuesday, Jan. 27,
at 6 p.m. in Conference Room A; Administration Building, One
Capitol Hill, Providence.
The plan would place clusters of 30 “Reef Balls” at three halfacre sites — off Weaver Cove in Portsmouth’s Melville area; in
Mount Hope Bay north of Portsmouth’s Town Pond and Common Fence Point; and a third midway between these two. All
have similar sandy bottoms and are 15-25 feet deep.
The reefs would consist of “Reef Balls,” manufactured beehive
shaped concrete structures riddled with holes that, proponents
hope, would provide homes and gathering places for sea life
including fish.
The project is backed by the RIDEM and The Nature Conservancy with support from the RI Saltwater Anglers Association, a
recreational fishermen’s group.
Less enthusiastic are some commercial fishermen represented by the RI Fishermen’s Alliance.
tected more than 400 acres of
forest, farm, and shore all across
Rhode Island in 2014.
Other areas protected include
a major expansion of the Francis
Carter Preserve in Charlestown,
the protection of Lial Farm in
Warren, and another addition to
Whale Rock Preserve in Narragansett.
In its announcement, the Conservancy acknowledged the
assistance in its efforts from the
Department of Environmental
Management and The Champlin
Foundations.
Opinion
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
EDITORIAL
Sound the alarm
H
ouses these day are alarmed to the teeth —
they’ve got fire alarms, burglar alarms,
motion sensors, fall-down and medication
alerts …
And many of these are touchy — a branch
brushing a window, a child pushing buttons, a trash truck’s
clamor, a pet wandering about, a door left ajar, a weak battery — almost anything can set them off.
Tiverton last week logged 34 home and business alarm
calls. Police had to respond to every last one of them,
either by phone or in person. And all of those 34 alarms
were ‘unfounded,’ ‘accidental,’ or ‘false.’
Thirty four calls was a lot but not all that unusual. Police
and fire officers in all of these towns are spending an everincreasing amount of their time dealing with alarms and
the costs are growing fast.
There are manpower costs, fuel costs, and potential legal
costs (woe be it to the emergency responders who don’t
give every one of these their full attention).
Worse, there’s the risk of delay when response to the real
thing is slowed because limited manpower is off checking
on the week’s 30th false alarm.
These costs should not and cannot be borne by the taxpayers.
Ordinances in many towns make that clear. Homeowners
are allowed a false alarm or two, sometimes even three,
after which fees set in — perhaps $50 for the next, $100 for
the following one.
Towns that don’t have such rules should. These fees provide incentives for fixing what ails repeat offender alarms.
And they help cover to a small extent the very real costs
that the alarm proliferation has produced, costs that will
only increase.
Alarms are wonderful things. They protect people and
property and provide peace of mind.
But they can also produce costs not revealed in the
brochures.
Homeowners have a right to expect that police and fire
will respond to their

Officials seem overly helpful to mall developer
To the editor:
Guess what, Tiverton taxpayers?
Your hard-earned money is being
used to aid the Carpionato Group in
their quest to ruin little Tiverton
with their huge development.
On Nov 13 ,Planning Board
Administrative
Officer
Kate
Michaud, Town Administrator Matt
Wojcik, and Ken Buckland of the
Cecil Group (all paid with our Tiverton property taxes), met with Carpionato’s lead executives on the Tiverton Crossings project, Kelly Coates
and Joe Pierek, to “discuss the Tiverton Comprehensive Community
Plan.”
Since when is it the job of Tiverton to aid developers in gutting our
Community Plan, especially developers pushing an oversized development?
The Board is also having the Cecil
Group write-up the amendments
(more Tiverton tax-dollars paying
for Carpionato) to be voted on Jan
20th before they’ve even voted yes
or no on the plan itself. Why?
Mr Buckland made no mention
of the meeting. Was it supposed to
remain a secret? Board member
Rosemary Eva found out about it
after the fact and was quite upset
about it. Board members are doing
things behind other members’
backs. Why?
At the Dec 18 hearing, board
member Stu Hardy (with a straight
face) said, “A 100,000 square foot
box store doesn’t have to look like
one.” Member Carol Guimond said
she likes the “intimate” aspect of the
development. What’s intimate
about 66 acres? At one point a
member was hopping around in his
chair exclaiming “what are we waiting for?”
As I sat back and waited for this
board member to start doing backflips while waving pom-poms in
support of Carpionato I glanced
over to see Kelly Coates and Joe
Pierik smugly smirking in the shadows. Bam, the proverbial “ton of
bricks” hit me hard. This is a “done
deal.”
At first I thought the over-excited
board member was builder Peter
Corr, but he recuses himself due to
the fact that he has property on
Main Road that he will be selling to
Carpionato. Turned out it was David
Saurette, the V.P. of construction for
WS Development. WS specialties
include “mixed-use development”
and “lifestyle centers”. Sound familiar?
The board hired consultants for
financial analysis. They said abutters’ property would “not go down
in value” due to a separate proposed 10-acre development on the
northwest side of Souza Road that
will lower property values, so the
Carpionato “life-style center” won’t
affect abutters at all. Bull!
They said the net to the town
would be $1.7 million a year. That’s
assuming a “best-case scenario.”
When asked why there was no
“worst-case” or “medium-case scenario” they smiled and said “we
would love to but only do what we
are tasked with.” Why would the
Planning Board only want the “bestcase scenario?”
It seems someone has a not-sowell-hidden agenda.

Violet’s columns lack intellectual honesty
To the editor:
On three occasions over the last
two months, Arlene Violet, a paid
columnist for this paper, has written of how disturbed she is from
recent media reports discussing
my private practice since my leaving office four years ago after
completing eight years of service
as Rhode Island’s attorney feneral.
The fact that Violet is outraged
with me is never news to me.
Arlene has enjoyed many, many
opportunities to write about me
over the years.
Unlike all her other writings
which I chose not to respond to,
her recent columns merit a
response especially in light of two
things: First, her claimed concerns
about “trading on an association”
with the office of the attorney general and second, her hypocritical
posturing regarding the evolving
discussion of legal work versus lobbying especially considering her
own secretive advocacy, as an
“unregistered lobbyist” (by her definition) over the years to that office
and other state entities.
It would be insulting if it were
not so laughable to read of Violet’s
“concerns” about “trading on associations” with the attorney general’s office particularly when
Arlene’s entire career has been
about trading on her very short service as an attorney general 30 years
ago. Never has so much been made
out of so little service.
Arlene’s very being all of these
years has entirely and unabashedly
played off her limited service as an
attorney general. In her various
work, from radio host and ads for
gutter helmet, to newspapers (currently in this chain of papers’ regular columns for which she is compensated) and with occasional
stops on television and other
forums, former Attorney General
Violet has squeezed as much as
any one possibly could from her
lone two-year term back in the
1980s.
For Arlene to ever discuss let
alone suggest any “outrage” about
“trading on association” does far
worse than strain credibility. Her
three decades of “trading on association” put that to rest.
There is also more than a little
irony in Arlene’s cries of the office
of attorney general being “bastardized,” especially when she cites
a New York Times article with such
great pride. This is the same New
York Times that published a 1986
exposé about then-Attorney General Violet, where it stated that “Fifteen judges of the (Rhode Island)
Superior Court have appointed a
special investigator to lead a grand
jury in looking into four instances
of possible prosecutorial misconduct: two cases of altered transcripts of taped testimony, one
case of conflicting affidavits and
one in which a document, filed
after a deadline, was back-dated.”
Violet “acknowledged that her
office did these things” according
to her vaunted New York Times.
Such “bastardizing” of the office by
Violet resulted in her being chased
from office by the voters and led
her on to the “greener” pastures of
“trading on associations” to the
offices that have followed.
If Arlene’s histrionics regarding
“trading on association” weren’t
enough, she writes about how very
disturbed and astounded she was
regarding news reports about the
business I conduct. The fact that
she takes any position as to what is
lobbying and what is not is mystifying considering how she has conducted herself.
For merely one example, in 2010
while I was still the attorney general, out of respect and courtesy, I
agreed to meet in my office with
former General Violet on a major
policy issue. Shortly thereafter, in
order to understand the issue more
fully and trusting in Arlene’s seemingly innocent “interest” in the
project, I agreed to take a tour of
the impacted business and lands.
Arlene never disclosed to me that
she was not only representing a
client but also stood to profit off
the issue she had approached me
on. She never disclosed her interest
or motivation.

Start of video shows pizza driver Jarrid Tansey
(left in black parka)

believed was a tip to F&R

discussion that followed,
he was crudely insulted

order to Palace Pizza called in by a
used car dealership identified in
on-line postings as F&R Auto
Sales, Westport.
A Palace Pizza spokeswoman
was quoted by Boston.com as saying that the bill came to $42 and
change for pizzas and soda.
When the food was delivered,
the delivery man was handed $50
— two $20 bills and two $5 bills.
In the video, the driver, Jarrid
Tansey, tells the F&R office staffers
that he had confirmed the total
payment amount before leaving
with what he thought was a tip.
Upon returning to the pizza shop,
he was told that the car dealership had called, saying it wanted
its $7 and change back.
“It just doesn’t make sense why
you would pay me a bill that you
were just going to have me drive
back here to give back anyway,” he
tells a man sitting in a chair. “It’s
not like I just took off, I explained
…“
“Hey, hey, let’s not be mad,” says
a woman standing next to him.
“I’m not mad, I just had to waste
my resources coming back here,”
he replies. “You got your $7 back
so the world is right now.”
As he starts to leave (without
any tip), the same woman says,
“Out the door before I put my foot
in your a**, how’s that,” to loud
laughter from some of the five
others in the room.
After which another seated man
shouts “Far out! … Get the ****ing
owner and the manager on the
phone. I want that m******’s job. I
want him fired.”
Boston.com reports that F&R’s
owner and son visited the pizza
shop Wednesday to apologize. The
story also quotes a pizza shop
employee as saying that they’ve
had issues with the auto dealership in the past.
Calls by Shorelines to F&R did
not go through — the phone line
produces a continuous busy signal even late at night. Also, repeated attempts to load the business
website were unsuccessful.
One Yelp poster said the incident had a silver lining for him:
His business school instructor
had assigned them to write about
“‘Why small businesses fail,’ and
informed us that we’d have to purchase a new edition textbook if we
wanted a chance at an ‘A’. Fortunately, after a quick internet
search, I found the story of F&R
Auto Sales. After reading about
their inappropriate behavior ..., I
was able to compose my entire
research paper. Imagine my surprise when I received the highest
grade in the class!”
Sales manager
issues apology
On behalf of the owner who
was not present during the
taping of this video and
management we will like to
publicly apologize for the
actions that led to this situation. This embarrassing
video gone viral on the internet was not released by any
employee of F and R Auto
Sales. in addition to this
apology the owner and proprietor will like to offer a
cash donation to the delivery man in the video. The
actions of the female led to
her termination and the other gentleman that was belittling the man in the video
was not an employee of F
and R Auto Sales and had
no permission or authorization to release any security
footage from F and R Auto
Sales. We are currently
straightening out matters on
that behalf.
Yours sincerely,

Columns’ hypocrisy is startling
From FACING PAGE
ment Corporation in particular)
from that time, clearly illustrate
that Arlene’s interests were not driven by altruistic intentions but
rather monetary gain. Violet’s
advocacy in front of the state board
at that time was described in meeting minutes and the Providence
Journal as that of an “investor” and
an “environmental consultant.”
The hypocrisy only deepens when
one looks and sees that Arlene did
not register as an executive lobbyist at the time.
By her own definition offered in
the paid columns she penned for
this paper, she is obviously “ethically challenged.” In the many,
many roles Violet has played since
she left office 30 years ago, it seems
“unregistered lobbyist” (by her definition) should be added to the list.
I also want to be abundantly
clear. As I indicated earlier, I do not
agree with her definition or interpretation of the law as it pertains to
my work. Arlene’s definitions and
analysis are not consistent with the
law as written or interpreted, most
recently by former Secretary of
State Mollis or previously on similar issues by the Rhode Island
Supreme Court. It also clearly illustrates Arlene has little to no understanding or appreciation for the
separation of powers.
For General Violet to call on
Attorney General Kilmartin to
“investigate” my failure to register
as a lobbyist and for her to attempt
to impugn my integrity on these
pages is absurd and the type of
hyperbole and demagoguery that
is beneath someone who holds
herself out as such a “thought
leader” and a former fellow attorney general. The fact that Arlene
has the audacity to challenge my
ethics, especially when one truly
considers how she conducts herself, isn’t surprising but she is being
grossly hypocritical.
If Rhode Island politics is ever
going to start to “get honest” as
General Violet ponders in her column, it is imperative that the
debate surrounding these issues
are grounded with some level of
intellectual honesty. Violet’s recent
columns are sadly and entirely
devoid of intellectual honesty.

Canario introduces
business-friendly bills
Rep. Dennis M. Canario (DDist. 71, Portsmouth, Tiverton)
has introduced legislation, 2015H 5108, to eliminate the minimum corporate tax.
Under the state’s existing tax
structure, all Rhode Island businesses face a minimum $500 per
year corporate tax, beginning
from the date the business incorporates with the secretary of state.
“When we are trying to
encourage businesses to come to
Rhode Island, this is another
impediment,” said Rep. Canario.
“Yes, eliminating the tax will cost
the state money in the short run.
But keeping it is another message that our state wants to tax
the heck out of businesses. If
companies could keep this money and re-invest it in their businesses, that might mean growth
for them and new jobs for our
citizens and more jobs for more
Rhode Islanders — not a corporate tax — will lead to better
economic times for our state.”
Rep. Canario is also calling for
creation of a legislative study
commission to make recommendations to streamline new
business startup procedures. The
13-member commission would
issue its findings and recommendations by next March.
Another bill introduced by Rep.
Canario, 2015-H 5107, is aimed at
addressing taxation of the state’s
older, primarily retired population. The bill would create a seven-member study panel to consider the categories, methods and
monetary implications of taxing
various personal retirement
income, including Social Security,
and pension income paid to
Rhode Islanders by out-of-state
employers and to determine
whether any changes are in the
best interest of the citizens of the
state.
The bill to eliminate the minimum corporate tax has been
referred to the House Committee
on Finance and is co-sponsored
by Rep. John G. Edwards (D-Dist.
70, Tiverton, Portsmouth), Rep.
Marvin L. Abney (D-Dist. 75,
Newport), Rep. Deborah Ruggiero (D-Dist. 74, Jamestown,
Middletown) and Rep. Grace
Diaz (D-Dist. 11, Providence).
The bill to study streamlining
the business startup process is
before the House Committee on
Small Business, and is co-sponsored by Reps. Edwards, Abney,
Ruggiero and Diaz.
The bill to study retirement
income taxation has been sent to
the House Committee on

Burglar alarm keep police busy
TIVERTON — Police responded
to 34 home alarm calls from Tiverton locations during the week of
Friday, Jan. 1 to Friday, Jan 9. They
are required to respond, and
always do — “we have to,” said
Tiverton Police Chief Thomas
Blakey.
In none of the 34 incidents do
police logs indicate any evidence
of a crime having been committed, break-ins or some other problem.
Although he acknowledged that
the number of alarms seemed
high, Chief Blakey said that wind
and driven rain, and trees brushing against a house, can set
motion alarms off.
A town ordinance (Chapter 34,
“Emergency Services,” adopted in
1967) deals with false alarms, fees
and fines, records that must be
kept, costs for registering alarm
systems, and penalties for failing
to register.
Chief Blakey said it costs $50 to
register an alarm system with the
town.

■ Choro Bastardo will perform
on Friday, Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m.
Doors open at 7. BYOB and food
are allowed. Tickets are $15 in
advance and at the door. It is free
for children under 12. Choro refers
to traditional Brazilian instrumental music from the beginning
of the 20th century.
Choro Bastardo combines the
traditional choro style with the
band members’ varied musical
and cultural backgrounds to create a sonority that is different
from original choro music, yet loyal to its playful spirit.
Using Baroque, early jazz and
contemporary classical music as a
springboard, Choro Bastardo
explores the different streams of
music that share elements of
choro, recreating the atmosphere
of cabarets and vaudeville in Rio
de Janeiro. Mixing Jelly Roll Morton and Pixinguinha, Darius Milhaud and Ernesto Nazareth, John
Cage and Jacob do Bandolim,
Choro Bastardo represents a
groundbreaking transformation
in the realm of contemporary
improvisation associated with
neo-folklorist practices.
The band features Henrique
Eisenmann on piano, Ben
Andrews on violin and mandolin,
Ilya Portnov on harmonica, and
Cristian Budu/Adam Bahrami on
pandeiro.
■ A gong sound bath is in the
yellow building on Saturday, Jan.
24, at 6:30 p.m. It is $15 per person. A gong sound bath immerses
listeners in waves of sacred and
healing sound. Deb Stevens, using
a variety of Tibetan gongs, bells
and chimes, will bathe you in
peaceful sustained waves of primordial sound.
Listeners typically experience a
sense of well-being. Some listeners describe out-of-body experiences, or seeing images, colors or
symbols behind their closed eyes.
Gong sounds can induce a spontaneous meditative state and help
with stress-related issues, depression, fatigue, or other conditions
related to a lack of balance and
harmony in the body.
Bring mats or blankets for comfort on the floor. Chairs also will
be available.

In recognition of relentless pursuit of litter
In honor of his efforts to keep
an especially busy part of Tiverton clean, the Tiverton Litter
Committee recently presented
Warren Whitman of Cumberland
Farms with a commendation. Mr.
Whitman makes it his business to
clean up the ceaseless barrage of
litter that land in that area near
Stone Bridge.
The Litter Committee’s Bonnie
Kane interviewed Mr. Whitman
about his cleanup work ...
B: WHAT KIND OF LITTER DO YOU FIND
IN THE OUTDOOR AREA HERE AT CUMBERLAND FARMS? W: Mostly cups, straws
and a lot of cigarette butts.
B: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LITTER? W: Mostly Cumberland Farm
customers but a few things get
blown over here from the beach. I
pick up everything that is on the
property and the surrounding
area.
B: HAVE YOU EVER CAUGHT ANYONE IN
THE ACT OF LITTERING HERE? W: Yes I
see people take trash out of their
cars and throw it into the barrel
but I say thank-you to them. I did
catch one person actually dumping their ash tray on the ground. I
said “You know I’m going to have
to clean that up!” The person said
“Well I guess that’s job security for
you then huh?”
B: HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED HERE?
DO YOU LIKE WORKING IN TIVERTON? W:
In this particular store —three
years. Yes I do like it in Tiverton,
the people here are very friendly. I
know all the regulars and I have
their items ready for them when
they come in —and I have the best
view!
B: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING
UP IF SOMEONE LITTERS OUT THERE? W: I
basically go out there and do it
myself and when I’m not here my
employees know to go out and
pick up. We wear orange vests. If
we’re on the sidewalk it’s okay but
if we are on the road we are wearing the vests.
B: HOW IMPORTANT ARE THE SURROUNDING BUSINESSES AND GRINNELL’S
BEACH ACROSS THE STREET RE: LITTER ON
YOUR PREMISES? W: They are pretty
good about that. I don’t really see
people from Grinnell’s walking
across and dumping their trash or
throwing it on the ground. They
will usually look for a place to
throw it out.
B: IS THERE A TIME OF YEAR WHEN YOU
Bonnie Kane presents Warren Whitman with a Tiverton Litter Committee commendation for his efforts.
Warren Whitman cleans up outside Cumberland Farms on Main Road.
SEE MORE LITTER? W: Oh definitely
summer. I don’t know if it’s
because the beach is open or if it’s
different people from different
parts of the state coming to the
beach. I get a lot of people going to
the next beach down too.
B: YOU HAVE TWO TRASH RECEPTACLES
AND A BIN IN THE BACK … ARE THEY MISUSED BY THE PUBLIC? W: Sometimes
they are not always but yes occasionally. I’ve worked in other
stores where they have been misused. You see a lot of people pouring trash. Not so much in this
store.
B: WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH
LITTER WHEN YOU WORKED AT OTHER
STORES? W: There are certain stores
where you see people throwing
their cigarette and candy wrappers on the ground and walk away.
B: HOW DOES TIVERTON RATE AS COMPARED TO OTHER STORES? W: We are
number one! That is speaking the
truth we are number one. I’ve
stood in other stores talking to
other managers and I’ve watched
people walk out and throw their
trash on the ground. I really don’t
see that here.
B: WELL MAYBE BECAUSE THEY KNOW
IT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU. W: Well they
do see me out there cleaning all of
the time. They see me in here with
my orange vest on and they will
say “Why do you have that on in
here are you directing traffic or
something?” I say “no I’m just getting ready to go do my parking
lot.” I think they see that and that’s
a big help.
B: THIS STORE IS REALLY BUSY YET LITTER FREE HOW DO YOU DO IT? W: I’d say
we are almost at 100 percent.
There are times I will come in and
I’ll say “What happened over the
weekend?” It’s mostly during the
summertime..a lot of kids going
up and down the street but we get
it up right away. My people know
it too. If they are smokers and are
going out for a cigarette, they walk
around and pick up. My people
are scheduled to go out there at
night time just before the sun goes
down and sweep up the area so it’s
pretty well groomed.
B: WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR
THE LITTER COMMITTEE AS WE MONI-
TOR TIVERTON BUSINESSES AND LITTER
CLEAN UP? W: Appearance is a big
thing. If people ride by and see a
dirty store they are not going to
come in. We’ve been doing great
with our sales for almost a year
now and I think the clean environment helps. As far as going
around and cleaning up I see Pat
Sullivan out there doing it and I
think “there is a person who is
concerned about the community.” You want people to come
here and say “Tiverton is a nice
clean town.” If we keep our parking lots clean there is less pressure on people like Pat and you
also want your business to be eye
appealing.
B: ARE YOU AWARE OF THE ADOPT-ANAREA-IN-TIVERTON PROJECT? THIS AREA
IS MONITORED BY PAT SULLIVAN, WHO I
KNOW YOU’VE MET AND MARGE LARSEN.
W: No I’m not.
B: WELL WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM IN
TIVERTON CALLED ADOPT-AN-AREA, WITH
50 PLUS MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY, WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO KEEP
CERTAIN AREAS CLEAN. SO IF YOU EVER
RUN ACROSS ANYONE WHO SEEMS LIKE
THEY MAY BE INTERESTED OR IF YOU SEE
ANYONE WHO YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE
PICKING UP LITTER OUT THERE LET THEM
KNOW ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. W: Yes I
will. If you have brochures on this
will you drop them off?
B: ABSOLUTELY. ANY FINAL WORDS OF
WISDOM FOR THE LITTER COMMITTEE?
W: Well I was telling my boss, Linda, “Just for them (The Litter
Committee) to come up and tell
us what a great job we are doing
made me feel good about the outside like I have the best store! You
want to have a good feeling about
where you are working and what
your are doing and that means
picking up litter around your
place.
B: WELL YOU ARE UNUSUAL, THERE ARE
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT
WAY SO THANK-YOU. W: Thank-you!

Program at Columbia University.
Following five years of active duty
in the Navy, Jack remained in the
Naval Reserve for 20 years, retiring
as lieutenant commander. Jack
forged many friendships in the
Navy and had the good fortune of
meeting his wife and soulmate,
Cynthia, while in Newport, Rhode
Island, thus beginning a nearly 60year partnership.
Jack received his MBA at Columbia University and subsequently
entered the doctoral program at
Harvard Business School on a
McKenzie Scholarship. Following
graduation, he was appointed to
the faculty at Georgia State University in Atlanta but returned to
Boston in 1972 to join the faculty at
the Boston University School of
Management as an assistant professor of finance. Jack has lived in
Brookline, Mass., ever since. Jack
had a wonderfully satisfying 40 year
teaching career at BU, retiring in
2012 as professor emeritus.
He served as chairman of the
Finance and Economics Department for more than 12 years and
was the recipient of numerous
awards in recognition of his teaching excellence, including multiple
Professor of the Year awards. Jack
taught primarily in the graduate
and executive MBA programs and,
for many years, taught the core
banking law class in the BU School
of Law. He was instrumental in the
creation of many innovative programs and taught in several overseas programs for BU including in
Japan and Korea. Jack’s colleagues
respected his scholarship, trusted
his leadership and treasured his
kinship. He was also deeply
admired and celebrated by his students: his former student Doug
Chamberlain established the Jack
W. Aber Scholarship in his honor,
and another former student, Rajen
Kilachand, recalled Jack’s special
attention and care when he donated $25 million to BU (the largest in
the school’s history). Jack kept in
close contact with many former
students over the years and was
immensely proud of all their success and achievements in the business world.
In addition to his teaching, Jack
enjoyed serving as an independent
trustee on several mutual fund
boards, including funds affiliated
with AMG, Appleton Partners,
Aston Asset Management and
Third Avenue Management. Jack
was an enthusiastic supporter and
consumer of the arts, including fine
art, architecture, antiques, oriental
rugs, theatre, music, books and
movies. He was an avid collector
of American art pottery through the
years, and had an extensive collection of 45 RPM records dating from
the 1950’s that he cherished. Jack
and Cindy shared a love of travel
and frequently combined their passions, such as when they would
return from trips to Italy and England with sets of Majolica earthenware and Limoges china. Jack
enjoyed cooking and entertaining,
getting immense pleasure from
hosting family holiday gatherings
and large dinner parties. Guests
invariably commented on his specially-made, alphabetically-organized 75-jar spice rack hanging
prominently in the kitchen, which
wittily ended with a jar labeled
Waiting for Godot.
After meeting Cindy, Jack fell in
love with the verdant landscape of
her hometown, Tiverton. He and
Cindy found the perfect location to
build a summer home on the
Sakonnet river and, after building
the unique contemporary-style
home, Jack made annual improvements and additions of rooms and
decks to accommodate his evolving
and growing family. Family and
home life was always paramount
for Jack, and he was very proud of
his three children and seven grandchildren, whom he cherished
spending time with. Jack looked
forward to the extended family
gatherings nearly every Sunday,
whether in Brookline or Tiverton.
He is survived by his wife of 52
years, Cindy; his son and daughter-in-law John and Tracy Aber of
Newton, Mass.; his daughter and
son-in-law Valerie and Normand
Vermette of Brookline, Mass.; his
son and daughter-in-law Alex and
Livia Aber of West Newton, Mass.;
his sister Kay Stumpf of Boynton
Beach, Fla.; and his grandchildren, John, Jack, Nicholas, Jude,
Nina, Natalie and Lucy.
A memorial service celebrating
Jack’s life will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in
his memory may be made to Dr.
Lecia V. Sequist of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center or to the Jack W. Aber Scholarship fund at the Boston University
School of Management.

PUBLIC NOTICE
LITTLE COMPTON AGRICULTURAL
CONSERVANCY TRUST
South Coast
BUSINESS
ANNUAL REPORT, FISCAL YEAR
ENDED 6-30-14
History, Structure And The Transfer Tax
The purpose of this annual report is to provide a synopsis of
Trust activities during the fiscal year July 1, 2013 to June 30,
2014.
The Little Compton Agricultural Conservancy Trust was established by the voters at the 1986 Financial Town Meeting. The
principal purpose of the Trust is to preserve farm lands and open
space in the Town. This is accomplished through outright purchase of either fee interest in land or development rights, as well
as donations of land and cash. Funds for these purchases have
been raised during the fiscal year through a transfer tax on all
real estate sales over $150,000.00.
The fee schedule, effective July 1, 2004, exempts the first
$150,000.00 of land value. Transaction amounts from
$150,000.00 to $225,000.00 are taxed at the rate of $2%.
Transaction amounts over $225,000.00 are taxed at a 4% rate.
The Town Council appoints five individuals to be Trustees, one of
which is an active farmer. As provided by the enabling legislation, the Trust membership also includes two additional members
appointed by the Little Compton Planning Board and the
Conservation Commission respectively. The seven trustees
serve for 5-year staggered terms. In addition to on-site inspections and attendance at land preservation conferences, the
Trustees meet at least monthly. These meetings are held in the
Town Hall and are open to the public. Notices are posted on a
calendar in the Town Clerk’s office as well as on the bulletin
board outside the Town Hall and at the Brownell Library.
FINANCIAL DATA
As of July 1, 2014, the Town Treasurer, who manages and collects the Trust funds, held funds on behalf of the Trust in the
amount of $3,119,447.25. At that time, the Trust had applications
submitted to preserve 1,061.42 acres of land, estimated to cost
in excess of $20 million some of which will be funded by grants
totaling $2,050,000.00 from the Natural Resources Conservation
Service.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 there were 66 transfer tax returns filed and $991,664.20 was collected. Additionally,
private donations totaling $125.00 were received for which
LCACT is extremely grateful. A total of 14.60 acres of land were
preserved during this period. Since its inception, the Trust has
preserved or partnered with other organizations in preserving
1951.09 acres of land of which 646 are owned outright and the
development rights to 1,083.22 acres have been acquired. A list
of Trust’s acquisitions may be obtained in either the Town Clerk’s
office or the Brownell Library.

Running away w i t h i t
The Girls on the Run program
empowers girls,
with confidence and joy

undreds of girls and
women, and a fair
number of fathers, too,
assembled on the lawn
by the Temple of Music
at Roger Williams Park
last May for the annual
Girls on the Run celebratory end-of-season
5k. It was a gorgeous, sunny, perfect day for a
race, and the event had a festival atmosphere
to it as the girls gathered in clusters with their
teammates.
But this was not like any other 5k race.
Yes, boys were notably few and far between,
but so were scenes of solitary, pre-race
preparation that you typically see in a sport
not known for its teamwork.
The girls went to the line together, started
together, encouraged each other along the
way, and in many cases, even crossed the
line together, in pairs and small groups,
then remained clustered at the finish to
cheer their teammates over the line.
Who knew running was a team sport?
It is with Girls on the Run, a life-changing, youth development program for girls in
grades 3 through 8. The program inspires
girls to be joyful, healthy and confident
using a fun, 20-lesson, experience-based
curriculum which creatively integrates
training for a 5k event with lessons that
empower girls to become independent
thinkers, enhance their problem solving
skills and make healthy decisions. Activities
are thematic and seek to build a particular
skill with each session. Proven, measurable
results demonstrate that participation positively impacts girls’ self-esteem, body
image, and physical activity levels.
Girls on the Run was founded in 1996 by
Molly Barker, a North Carolina woman who
had struggled with family and addiction

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE
W
Playing by the same set of rules
hile most Rhode
Islanders don’t deal
with debilitating traffic on a daily basis, almost everyone can remember an epic traffic
tie-up they sat
through at one
point or another.
When I lived in
the D.C. area, I
can remember
several that were
weather related
(like a midday
Cara
CROMWELL snowstorm) or
beyond our control (the 9/11 attacks). I was also a
victim of the then-infamous “Justice for Janitors” protest on the
Roosevelt Bridge. This group
sought to get attention for their
cause by blocking the morning
commute, similar to the act of
traffic terrorism committed in
Boston last week. I refuse to share
the name of that group since
publicity is what they seek but I
do think it’s time that those of us
who play by the rules push back
and remind others that even in
protests, there are limits and
there should be dire consequences.
Just like yelling “fire” in a
crowded theater is not protected
free speech, impeding rush hour
traffic and causing thousands of
people to miss appointments,
meetings and hourly work should
not be protected either. After the
incident on the Roosevelt Bridge,
it was discovered that under current law each protester could
only be fined $50. Several of D.C.s
legal minds proposed a class act
law suit noting that even if the
protesters could not be held
criminally, a civil suit could hurt
their pocketbooks and hopefully
provide enough of a deterrent to
prevent further acts of traffic terrorism.
And make no mistake: these are
acts of terrorism as lives were at
risk. How many people do you
think missed a doctor’s appointment? How many people were
late to treatment at Dana Farber?
One man who had been in an
accident was diverted from a
trauma center in Boston because
the EMTs were worried he would
die in traffic. Thankfully he survived, but how sad is it that some
people in our society think that
their cause “matters” more than
the life of someone’s grandfather?
Although I am generally
appalled by the high number of
useless bills on the General
Assembly calendar, I do hope that
a legislator in Rhode Island introduces one that addresses this
kind of domestic terrorism.
Committing an act of traffic terrorism is the equivalent of taking
hostages. Note that the morons in
Boston had every intention of
shutting Boston down: some of
them were wearing diapers in
anticipation of a long sit down. I’d
start with mandatory jail time for
an act of traffic terrorism and
make sure that the fine is hefty
too. The Boston brainiacs slunk
home to their mother’s basements in Brookline and Jamaica
Plain — but a week in jail and losing their allowance may have
been a better way to teach them
to play by the rules.

Two leaders, two big steps for 2015
U
sually when you see the
names of Governor
Gina Raimondo and
Bishop Thomas
Tobin in the
same sentence
there is a “versus” linking
them. Well, not
this time. Both
leaders have
Arlene
started off the
VIOLET
New Year with
good decisions.
Bishop Thomas Tobin:
Through his vicar general,
Monsignor Albert Kenney, the
Bishop authorized the vigil last
week at the cathedral in order to
strengthen the bonds between
Rhode Islanders and police officers in the wake of violent events
involving police officers in the
United States. The service took on
an ecumenical tone as Catholics,
Protestants, Muslims and Jews
participated. Kudos for such a
thoughtful move! One little offkey note was scored when the
head of the Rhode Island state
police said that the vigil was
intended to boost the confidence
for Rhode Island officers in the
wake of the killing of two police
officers in Brooklyn last month.
Clearly, as a former attorney general, I am all for supporting the
men and women in blue, but in
some sectors law enforcement
members are becoming too
weepy and whiny. Apparently, for
example, some New York City
police officers are not cracking
down on so-called social crimes
in order to dish out an affront to
the city’s mayor. They should do
their job and not diminish the
respect that people have for
them. It’s time to end the pouting!
Governor Gina Raimondo:
From her inaugural activities to
her first week stands on issues,
the Governor is acquitting herself
quite well. She attended the
above prayer service. She visited
the homeless at Rhode Island’s
largest shelter. She restated her
goal of ending homelessness.
There are a coterie of issues
impacting homeless citizens’ status, some of which can be altered
while others remain intransigent.
Her heart and head are in the
right place as she continues her
commitment to this population,
which was first noted when she
was a member of the Crossroads
RI board.
The governor also was firm on
her position to end the pension
suit. During a WJAR 10 news conference, she reiterated that she
would maintain her position
exactly as it was when a settle-
ment was reached with all but
one small police union. She
shows great wisdom. The other
unions in the law suit should lean
on the police union who apparently is playing “bad cop” in the
negotiations. If this is an intraunion ploy it should cease and
they should take the deal.
The unions may be emboldened to seek more concessions
since the retirement system
earned 15.12 percent for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2014 and
11.07 percent in the prior fiscal
year. But, as experts know, pension stability has to be viewed
long range. Already the start of
January 2015 has shown massive
fluctuations in the stock market.
It is no time to be wearing rose
colored glasses as opposed to
staying the course.
Governor Raimondo also
showed her political acumen by
having a campaign fundraiser
one week after taking office.
While to some this effort may
seem far too premature, she is
sending the message that she
intends to build a war chest that
few could rival if they want to
take her on.
So, both leaders in their respective spheres of influence have
started 2015 right. Hopefully, the
clear thinking will continue.
PET CONFIDENTIAL
Go into veterinary medicine with eyes wide open
BY DR. LYNN ANNE EVANS
To Dear Dr. Evans,
My high-school age daughter is
thinking about going to vet
school. I know vet school is hard
to get into, requires years of
study, and costs a lot of money;
that’s the downside, right? What’s
the upside?
—Concerned Mom
Dear Mom,
The upside is that veterinary
medicine can be incredibly,
uniquely rewarding, and it can be
a privilege to practice. But you are
right — she has to go in with her
eyes wide open.
You may have read articles in
the past few years about the glut
of veterinarians that are being

number of domestic and international veterinary schools. As with
any oversupply, competition
increases and good jobs decrease.
Also, the profession is changing;
when I graduated (in the late
Jurassic era), private practice was
the mainstay of the profession.
Most graduates could expect to
work for a small or mixed
small/large animal mom-andpop practice, possibly moving on
to eventual ownership. Now, specialty practices, corporate chain
practices, vaccine clinics in pet
stores, and Dr. Google have
changed the face of veterinary
medicine, If your daughter’s veterinary model was Kindly Old Dr.
Downthestreet, she may find she
needs to be more flexible than
she’d anticipated.
Also, the cost of vet school has
skyrocketed, and salaries have
not kept pace; many new grads
find debt burdensome, if not
crushing.
But the upside? It’s different for
everyone, but for me, here goes.
Being in family veterinary practice makes you a facilitator of and
witness to one of the most magical things on the Earth; the bond
between people and their pets.
It’s immensely gratifying to
solve a problem, soothe a pain,
heal a disease, even save a life —
and that’s a huge part of why we
all go into it. But there’s nothing
quite like seeing a puppy whose

until I lived in a rainforest or a
shaded greenhouse with drains in
the floors, I’d never be able to
meet their cultural requirements.
But I have a thing for ferns. The
way new fronds uncurl like the
primordial creatures they
are...The shape of mature fronds
in silhouette...The candy-buttonlike dots of spore-producing sori
on the fertile fronds’ undersides...The memory of gradeschool science lessons about one
of the more fascinating ways
plants reproduce...And I’m always
game for a challenge. I kept
bringing them home and I’m glad
I did because it turns out footed
ferns are the ferns for me. Maybe
for you too.
Footed ferns are so called
because the fronds emerge from
an epiphytic criss-cross of fuzz
covered rhizomes spilling over
the soil’s surface, and the tips do
resemble paws if you let your
imagination run wild. Rabbit’s
foot fern (Davallia fejeensis) rhizomes might bring to mind the
luridly dyed severed rabbit’s foot
key chains we carried in our
pockets for luck during the 1970s
(what a disgusting fad that was). I
prefer to creep myself out by

KRISTIN GREEN
imagining a nest of tarantulas
instead. So cool. The fronds, by
contrast, are elegantly lacy with
deeply cut bronzy leaflets (called
pinnae in botany-speak) that
become deep green with maturity.
Naked rabbit’s foot fern (Polypodium formosanum) is also
known as caterpillar fern, worm
fern, grub fern, and E.T. fern
because its finger-like sea-foamgreen rhizomes have no hairy
scales. But they do have creepy
appendages that help anchor the
plant to its host, or in the case of
mine, hug an adjacent piece of
souvenir driftwood and root into
a neighboring begonia. Worm
fern’s chartreuse rickrack fronds
arch gracefully from all the oddity
at its feet.
The superstar in my household
is a bear’s paw fern (Phlebodium
aureum ‘Blue Star’) with wavy
fronds so glaucous I was inspired
to paint my living room pumpkin
orange to bring out their blue. Its
rhizomes are much thicker, more
bear-like than the others, but are
taking their time to lumber over
the pot edges.
The best thing about footed
ferns, aside from the coolness of
their weirdness, is that they’re
forgiving. They do require humidity — I keep a rabbit’s foot fern in
the bathroom and the worm fern
in an open terrarium — but they
can tolerate much more winter
dryness than, say, a maidenhair.
They don’t seem to be as temperamental about watering
either. The soil may go dry
between drenchings and for that I
use the shower once per week.
And as long as they don’t get
direct sunlight during the spring
and summer, all is well. During
the winter, east windows are
prime real estate, as are shelves
that catch a little afternoon sun,
perhaps with a complementary
color on the walls behind to bring
out the best in their silhouette.

Take time for an exercise snack
t’s no secret that exercise is
an important part of a
healthy lifestyle. Running,
biking, weightlifting, walking,
swimming, playing volleyball...
there are so
many forms of
exercise. Sometimes, it can be
hard to find time
during the day
to fit it in. For
Emily
busy days,
DELCONTE really
try exercise
“snacks”!
Think about exercise snacks as
mini workouts. They’re quick and
easy exercises that you can do at
home or at work. Taking just 2-5
minutes during the day can help
you reach your health goals. Try
some of these exercise snacks.
■ 50 jumping jacks
■ 30 lunges with each leg
■ 60 sit-ups or crunches
■ Walk quickly up and down
the stairs for 5 straight minutes
■ 50 squats
■ Jump rope for 3 minutes
■ Jog in place for 5 minutes
■ 30 bicep curls with each arm
using a light weight
■ Walk around your office
building 3 times

PETS: Veterinary medicine is a labor of love
From Page 2
with her elderly kitty will sometimes catch herself and apologize for being foolish, but there’s
nothing in the world foolish
about it. An owner in love — and
you can tell the minute they
walk through the door — is a
good owner. He or she will do
whatever it takes to keep that
pet healthy, in part because it’s
the right thing to do, but also
because that pet supplies love
and comfort, no questions asked
and no matter what.
You gotta love it when a guy
who looks like he could benchpress a Buick can’t stop talking
about how cute his pookie is
when he plays with his little
pookie toys...
There are other rewards, of
course; I love getting to know
my clients, I love preventative
medicine and education, I love
getting to play with the puppies
and kittens, I love the ability to
relieve pain and even, because I
am the pet’s advocate, the awful
responsibility to help a client
make the kindest decision when
pain can no longer be managed.
Your daughter might never get
rich, as veterinary medicine
pays significantly less than most
medical fields, and she may find
that the profession challenges
her expectations. But she may
very well find herself very privileged — just like me.
Dr. Lynn Anne Evans of the
Barrington Veterinary Clinic has
been practicing veterinary
medicine for 26 years. Do you

Evans? Please email

ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME WITH THESE RENOVATIONS
Homeowners choose renovation projects
for a variety of reasons. Although many
improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others
are seen as worthwhile investments. These
investments can add up to a higher resale
value when the time comes to sell a home.
Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeownersÕ investments than others. The following renovation
tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up
for sale.
• Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels
are a safe bet when it comes to putting money
into improving a home. Residents tend to
spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but
a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can
detract from the value of a home, even if the
rest of the home is in good shape. ItÕs possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of
your kitchen remodel investment, especially
if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of
your home. Homeowners should know that a
deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as
relatively moderate improvements can create
a whole new look for a kitchen.
Finding space to install an extra bathroom
in a home can be a worthwhile investment.
• Look to paint. One of the least expensive
improvement materials, but one that has a
significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern
colors can easily liven up any space. If you
paint with low-VOC paint, you also can
advertise an eco-friendly home, which is
very desirable these days.
• Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been
equipped with more than one bathroom.
Finding extra space for a bathroom can be
tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs
or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space,
while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for
a stand-up shower or bathtub.
• Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic
improvements arenÕt the only ones that add
value to a home. Many home buyers are
eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand
that furnaces and air conditioning units are
substantial investments that can last for
years. Other improvements, such as adding
attic insulation or replacing older windows
and doors with more energy efficient options,
also are smart bets.
• Add illumination to rooms. A dark home
is a dreary home. Adding light can mean
including more overhead and accent lighting.
Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch.
Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can
bring natural light into rooms that may not
have south- or west-facing windows.
• Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor
living spaces have become more desirable,
especially as the ÒstaycationÓ has grown in
popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your
investment will depend on the size of the
deck and design. Doing the work yourself
can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if
you have the specific tools or experience to
tackle such a project.
• Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive
landscaping and freshening up the entryway
to a home can add considerable value to your
home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may
never be seen if buyers pass up your home
because of a less attractive exterior. Classy,
subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery
and a green lawn, can work wonders. An
inviting front door and well-lit entryway also
add curb appeal to a home.
Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will
provide a solid return on their investment.

Winnisimet Farms in Tiverton is the
setting for this fabulous contemporary
home with water views of the Sakonnet
River and private beach access.
The dramatic interior with stone fireplace/chimney and winding staircase was
envisioned by Charles Ficke, architect for
Sakonnet Housesmiths who designed and
built the post and beam house.
Built in 1979, the open floor plan has
water views from almost every room.
The attention to detail and custom
touches make this home truly unique,
such as inlays in the hardwood floors and
built-in wood breakfast nook. The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances.
Recent improvements to the home
include a new furnace, central air conditioning, a new roof, skylights and more.
With three bedrooms and two and a
half bathrooms, there is 1,898 square feet
of living space.
A lovely custom stone fireplace in the
upstairs master bedroom adds warmth
and comfort to the space, and an adjoin-
ing balcony is perfect for viewing the
sunset year-round.
For those who are looking for the convenience of one-level living, there is a
bedroom and bathroom on the first floor,
as well as a laundry area.
In addition to the master bedroom, an
additional third bedroom plus bath and a
half are on the second floor.
A bonus room over a detached one-car
garage would make a wonderful studio or
home office and offers great river views.
The options are endless.
A deck and balcony for outdoor living
add to the great features of this home as
does the expansive lot of 68,520 square
feet (1.57 acres). Tree-lined and private,
this wonderful location in Winnisimet
Farms has deeded rights to association
beach nearby.
The convenient location is also in close

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. 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. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many
credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs.
