Not sure how Barrington teachers feel about the Common Core State Standards and PARCC assessments? You’re not alone. During the last couple months, school administrators and officials from the Rhode Island Department of Education have offered their opinions about the new standards and assessment tool. Some, including four of the five Barrington School Committee members, have voiced clear support while others, such as committee member Scott Fuller and a group of local parents, stand in opposition. Overlooked during the recent discussion, however, has been the voice of the Barrington public school teacher. The Barrington Times reached out to a handful of local teachers and asked them one basic question: “How do you feel about the Common Core State Standards and PARCC assessments?” Here is what they had to say: ■ Teacher 1 — “I support the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). They are far more focused than the previous Grade Level/Span Expectations (GLE/GSE) with which teachers were asked to work and this is helpful in constructing curriculum and instruction--i.e., it’s easier to ‘hit’ a target that is specific and clear. One of the misunderstandings I hear from opponents of the standards is that they are somehow a ‘curriculum’ as well.

Local family searching for Rumble A five-year-old dog named Rumble went missing in the area of Lincoln Avenue and County Road on Friday night. The Chekal family said the dog is a mix — part bichon frise and part shih tzu. It is white and weighs about 15 pounds. The family and others conducted an extensive search for the dog after it went missing, but have been unable to locate it. One person who was searching for Rumble said he saw someone stop their car on County Road; he was not sure if that person picked up the dog. Rumble was wearing a tag with the owners’ phone number on it and has been microchipped. Anyone with information about Rumble can call 246-1554.

National Athletic Trainers’ Association honors high school’s efforts to keep athletes safe BY JOSH BICKFORD jbickford@eastbaynewspapers.com Barrington High School earned this year’s National Athletic Trainers’ Association Safe Sports School Award, which recognizes the school’s efforts to protect local student-athletes. At an event on Thursday morning, Feb. 20, different officials, including Rep. David Cicilline and Rhode Island Interscholastic League President Tom Mezzanotte, took turns praising Barrington High School’s athletic department and in particular the efforts of school officials and the athletic training staff. “The standard we judge all our schools is with Barrington High School,” said Mr. Mezzanotte. Barrington High School Director of Athletics and Student Activities George Finn was quick to share the award with the school district’s current and past leaders. He mentioned some of the people who served as athletic trainers at the school in the past, and said that while it is very nice to be honored with the award, that’s not the reason for the school’s work in that area. “It’s really the right thing to do,” he said, about keeping studentathletes safe. Mr. Finn also credited the school nurse, Grethe Cobb, and team physicians Dr. Leonard Parker and Dr. Peter Kriz. “We are lucky to have a medical team that supports our athletic program,” he said. “Our school nurse and team physicians help complement our sports medicine program. We all work collaboratively to provide the best health care for our student athletes. “Our coaching staff deserves credit for this award as well. They continue to maintain first aid and CPR certification in addition to yearly training in concussion management as required by state law.” Paul A. Ullucci, Jr., the president of Ullucci Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy, helped present the award to Mr. Finn and the entire school. He also highlighted HR-72, a congressional resolution that supports the creation of a student-athletes’ bill of rights. Mr. Ullucci said Rep.

Officials from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management welcomed residents to attend hunting regulation meetings when they are held. For more information, check the DEM website at www.dem.ri.gov or call 222-6800. BY JOSH BICKFORD jbickford@eastbaynewspapers.com Two men — one in an official department of environmental management law enforcement uniform and the other in street clothes — did their best to answer the town council’s questions regarding duck hunting on Hundred Acre Cove recently. Council president June Speakman, who lives a couple hundred yards from the cove, placed the issue (duck hunting) on the council’s Feb. 3 meeting agenda. She said she had received a number of e-mails from residents who are complaining about or concerned with duck hunting on the cove. She opened by telling the DEM officials that there had been a picture in the newspaper showing two hunters in the cove with Hampden Meadows homes seemingly nearby in the background. That is allowed, said one official. He added some details: Hunters could not be within 500 feet of a dwelling and must be hunting — actually standing — below the mean high tide mark. Ms. Speakman said that a member of the town’s conservation Boaters and hunters Hunters wait in the marsh grass in Hundred Acre Cove. commission told her that he saw a hunter standing in the Osamequin Bird Sanctuary while he shot at waterfowl. That’s OK as long as he was below mean high tide, said the uniformed officer. Below that line is state property, he added. Where the hunters are pointing their guns is also important. All shots must be directed “seaward,” the officer said. Ms. Speakman asked whether the density of the surrounding neighborhood could be an issue for hunting waterfowl. There are odder places, said the officials. Then they offered some Fogarty Auto Body, Inc.

For starters, the birdshot hunters use these days is lighter than the old lead birdshot. The new ammunition does not travel as far. And there are regulations and hunter safety courses people must take. Also, the hunting season is limited to a couple months. The DEM officials also pointed to a “need” that is filled by hunters: Waterfowl population reduction. They specifically cited the resident Canada goose population. The officials said the goose population has recently “exploded” and the geese have also figured out that they are safer wad- dling around the fields at the high school and middle school than swimming in the cove. The law enforcement officials said hunters also help the local economy, and that revenue from hunting is often used to purchase and preserve open spaces. “I think it’s great,” said council member Bill DeWitt, about hunting on the cove. “Just make sure they’re trained.” Ms. Speakman spoke of a petition circulating that calls for the prohibition of waterfowl hunting in upper Narragansett Bay, but the DEM officials said that the petition was nothing new. They said the petition circulates each year. Barrington councilor Cindy Coyne said she was concerned about the mix of September hunters and boaters on the cove. DEM’s response: It comes down to hunters’ education and safety courses. If they see someone kayaking in the area, they shouldn’t be shooting in that direction. Bullet over the fireplace Barrington councilor Kate Weymouth recalled a close call while she was growing up on Mathewson Road. She said a bullet came through her home’s living room window and lodged itself in a painting that was hung above the fireplace. The officers suggested that people who want to affect a real change should attend one of DEM’s meetings that focuses on hunting regulations. Barrington Times February 26, 2014 Page 5 New Charger, SUV coming to town Council approves two new vehicles for police department BY JOSH BICKFORD jbickford@eastbaynewspapers.com Buying and outfitting police cruisers used to be simpler. Barrington Police Chief John LaCross said the local department — as well as most police forces across the state — used to purchase the Ford Crown Victoria, a sturdy eight-cylinder sedan loaded with leg room and burdened with lousy gas mileage. “It was a big V8. You’d get 11 to 12 miles per gallon,” he said. But there was upside: Good acceleration, a spacious interior for the police officers, and the guarantee that equipment from one old Crown Vic could be easily transferred to a newly purchased Crown Vic. Not anymore. A few years back, Ford ceased building the Crown Vic, so departments, including Barrington, began looking at other vehicles. The local force first settled on the Dodge Charger, but more recently purchased a few Ford Interceptors. The Chargers and Interceptors have six-cylinder engines, which vastly improves their gas efficiency — 18 to 19 miles per gallon around town, said the chief. But the new sedans also present the department with new, unforeseen challenges. “The interior space is not as big,” Chief LaCross said, adding that leg-room is cut down even further when the prisoner cage is installed in the back seat. For the department’s larger officers, the loss of key leg room can make for a less-than-comfortable shift inside the cruiser. Officers have also complained about blind spots in the Interceptors. Meanwhile, the car manufacturers continue to change the size of the vehicles’ interiors, which restricts departments from reusing old cruiser equipment. “It used to be that you could interchange the gear,” Chief LaCross said. “Now we have to New police cars, by the numbers ■ $26,541.90: 2014 Ford SUV (4-wheel drive) ■ $7,606.90: Police equipment for Ford SUV ■ $34,148.80: Total for vehicle and equipment ■ $23,467.60: 2014 Dodge Charger ■ $9,344.63: Equipment for Charger ■ $32,812.23: Total for vehicle and equipment ■ $66,961.03: Total cost for both vehicles and equipment ■ $4,000: Sale of two old Barrington police cruisers ■ $62,961.03: Total cost to taxpayers for new police vehicles and equipment buy different cages.” New police equipment purchases are costing local taxpayers about $17,000 this year. The department is buying two new cars — a Ford SUV carrying a $26,541 price tag and another $7,606 for new police equipment, and a Dodge Charger costing $23,467 and another $9,344 for equipment. Chief LaCross approached the town council at its Feb. 3 meeting requesting approval for the purchase, which totaled $66,961.03, and was able to reduce that cost by $4,000 when he sold two old cruisers to the Providence Police Department. The chief had initially offered the two cruisers — each had less than 50,000 miles on them — to Imperial Municipal Partners, the dealership which is selling the police vehicles. But IMP reportedly offered only $1,200 for each car, so the chief decided to look elsewhere. He ended up speaking to the fleet manager for the Providence Police Department, who later checked out the cruisers and offered Barrington $2,000 for each. “We saved the taxpayers $1,600,” said the chief. The council approved the expenditure, and the vehicles should be arriving in Barrington in about six weeks.

Opinion Page 6 Barrington Times February 26, 2014 EDITORIAL Barrington is the standard for safety W e love it when our local teams win, and we’ve been fortunate to have some very successful teams over the years. But more important than the success of the Barrington teams is the safety of our local student-athletes, and this past week we learned that nobody places a higher priority on player safety than Barrington High School and its administrators. On Thursday morning, Barrington’s director of athletics and student activities George Finn accepted the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Safe Sports School Award. It is the first time a school in Rhode Island has been honored with the recognition. On any given day during the school year, hundreds of boys and girls at Barrington High School are either practicing at or competing in a variety of sports. This winter, students could choose to play basketball, hockey or squash, or compete in track, swimming, wrestling or gymnastics. Some sports have multiple teams, such as basketball which has a varsity and junior varsity. There are a variety of other sports offered in the fall and more to choose from in the spring. The one constant for all the Barrington High School teams is the priority placed upon safety. In order for Barrington to earn this prestigious award, it had to meet a series of criteria — everything from making sure teams’ equipment was in good shape, to developing injury and illness prevention strategies, to providing preparticipation physical exams for each and every studentathlete. The director of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, Tom Mezzanotte, offered some succinct praise for Barrington High School during last week’s awards ceremony. Mr. Mezzanotte said the local school and the folks who keep it running each and every day have created the “standard” by which others across the state and the rest of the country will be judged. The work carried out by Mr. Finn, his assistants, the school physicians and nurses, the athletic trainer Whitney Howe and all the other administrators at the high school often goes unnoticed by the fans in the bleachers. All they see are student-athletes having fun and trying to bring home another state title for the high school. We know that there’s a bit more happening behind the scenes. Congratulations, BHS!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It’s time to revisit duck hunting laws Dear Barrington Town Council: My family and I are new to Barrington as well as the state of Rhode Island. We left behind the hustle and bustle of New York City to find a better quality of life here in New England. I must say we are all adjusting nicely to the beautiful area here in the Ocean State and feel fortunate we can view Hundred Acre Cove from our windows. We look forward to the warmer weather ahead when we can take advantage of it and introduce our children to kayaking. What we didn’t expect with our new neighborhood was to wake to gunshots in the early morning hours beginning in the fall and lasting well into winter. Initially my husband told me I was mistaken that duck hunters were hunting right in the cove. He insisted that the distance is simply too close to homes and neighborhoods. Several of our neighbors had already informed me about the duck hunting and I explained to him, yes, it is taking place right outside our door. Our children freeze when they hear the gunshots and quickly ask for an explanation. I have been brushing it off as nothing at all which suffices right now for a 3 and a 6 year old. I’ll have to figure out how I will explain it all one day soon when my brief answers aren’t enough. Recently we had a close encounter right outside our door. Early one Saturday morning, two of our neighbors called to alert us about a duck that had been shot and landed on our front lawn. They were concerned about it disturbing our young children if they were to discover it on their own. My husband quickly took care of it but it left a terrible feeling in my stomach. What if we had been outside playing with the children when this had happened? In the meantime, I’m not here to change the laws or cause a riot. I simply have questions. Being city folks, we aren’t familiar with how this duck hunting all works so I apologize in advance for our lack of knowledge on the subject. 1. Is there a task force monitoring these duck hunters? a. Do the hunters have valid permits? b. Are they adhering to the daily limitations on duck totals? 2. Is anyone monitoring the 500-foot proximity law? 3. What is the cost of a duckhunting permit? 4. What is the total annual revenue for duck hunting permits for the Town of Barrington? 5. What are the town ordi- nances, if any, on noise pollution? I have no idea if duck hunting is a huge income generator for the Town of Barrington but, if I had to guess, I would say it’s not. One argument in defense of duck hunting that I have heard several times is that it has been permitted in Hundred Acre Cove since the 1700s. From the information I could obtain, the first census of Barrington was conducted in 1774. The population was 601 and remained so until about 1840 as the town gradually increased in size. Nowadays, the town population is well over 16,000. Imagine that! We are still abiding by a law that was in place for 601 people while our town population has increased more than 27 times since then. 601 people in 8.9 square miles vs. 16,819 in 8.9 square miles. What we all need to think about here is just how many residents these gunshots are affecting, not to mention the fear the sound is instilling on our daily lives. I know how much I cringe when I hear them and simply don’t enjoy starting my day rising out of bed with such trepidation. One of my neighbors recently See FACING PAGE Something perfect about living in Barrington To the editor: It seems to me that too many letters to the editor are nothing more than just whining about anything and everything perceived as “not perfect” about living in Barrington. Well, I’m writing to express grat- itude for something about living in Barrington that I think “is perfect.” Recently, a police officer and four members of the Barrington Fire Department responded quickly to my wife’s 9-1-1 call when I was suddenly stricken with severe vertigo and a stroke. Those fine public servants transported me to The Miriam Hospital where more medical professionals tested and treated me just as effectively. Dr. Len Hardisty 25 Chapel Road Barrington Times February 26, 2014 Page 7 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COLUMN Huddle up team — elbows in E leven boys and one little girl stand in two lines near the middle of the basketball court and wait. Well, some wait. Others wrestle or push or bump. They talk and laugh and grab each other’s shirts or step on their feet. Josh This is what secBICKFORD ond-graders do when they are told to stand still. I should be happy that they are still standing in two lines near the middle of the basketball court because in a few seconds, in a very quick blink of an eye, they could be anywhere. Running toward the water fountain at the side of the gym or sprinting into the corner where the big bouncy mats are stacked or standing atop the aluminum bench along the sideline. It took four coaches close to five minutes to round up 12 second-graders and position them in two lines near the middle of the court. We hollered and grabbed at them as they ran past us, dashing in no specific direction. They chased bouncing basketballs across the slippery hardwood and underneath the row of folding chairs that parents sit in to watch the games. That is why we are here: For a basketball game. Two groups, teams, of 7- and 8year-olds are scheduled to play in another Saturday morning showdown at the YMCA. One group wears purple uniform t-shirts while the other wears aquamarine. Moms, dads, grandparents and little brothers and sisters watch the game and cheer and laugh at the action on the court, but the real game is on the sideline next to me. That is where my son has managed to pull the plastic ring off his Gatorade bottle — the one that held the cap in place — and turn it inside out, revealing a row of jagged plastic teeth that can be used to scratch an unsuspecting coach as he walks past the bench. The teammates — there are seven boys “sitting” on the bench — love it when the coach gets scratched. They laugh hysterically and clap their hands and nearly fall onto the floor in delight. I have never seen them so happy about anything, except the time my 2-year-old daughter ran onto the court during one of the games. There is one folding chair positioned at the end of the bench, which I incorrectly assume is for a coach. I sit there for a moment, then rise up to hi-five a passing player. When I return to the chair, beginning to lower myself onto it, I can hear the squeals of giddiness. I turn around. There are now four boys fighting for the chance to sit in the chair that I had been sitting in, and waiting for the unsuspecting coach to sit on them. Why? Why would they do this? I do not know. They do not know either. Back to the bench, I order them. A time-out — drink time. Players scramble for their water bottles while one boy runs across the court and fills a plastic cup with water from the fountain. They all dash back to the bench. They gulp mouthfuls until it spills onto their shirts or onto the floor or both. Then the player with the plastic cup shreds it into pieces because, well, why not? Then he hands it to me — well, he points to the pieces on the floor, which in his mind is just the same as handing it to me. This may be a teaching opportunity but I ignore it. It is best to move onto something else, like breakfast. I ask them what they ate for breakfast and then lie about what I ate. I tell them I ate four bags of Skittles and two bowls of mint chocolate chip ice cream. They scream over one another to tell me that they ate six candy bars and ten peanut butter cups and 50 sugar packets and then a whole bowl of sugar. No ten bowls. A hundred bowls. A million bowls. One of the boys asks me what the score is. I lie again. I tell him we are winning 214 to 3. All the players pause to comprehend the numbers and then sprint onto the floor to look at the electronic clock and scoreboard. They yell at me and tell me I lied. I smile and act surprised. At the end of the game when moms and dads are trying to gather their children who are attempting “just one more shot,” I will occasionally steal the basketball and dribble it and pull it away from them just before their fingers are touch it. They love this. So do I. Team purple — we are called the Purple Piglets for reasons I do not know — gathers together for a cheer at the end of each game. Hands in, says one of the coaches. No. That would be too easy. Feet in. Heads in. Elbows in. That is how 12 second-graders break a huddle. Then they collapse on the floor. I wait until I get home to collapse. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Town should follow the same rules To the editor: I find it difficult as a homeowner who has a sidewalk in front of my house which is cleared after every storm, reading your article noting Chief (John) LaCross reminding us to make sure we remove the snow, and two days after this last storm and now with yesterday’s (Feb. 18) snow, the sidewalks on public property have not been touched. All around Hampden Meadows School and down Kent Street are still snow-covered. William A. Peck 345 New Meadow Road Children’s personal information at stake To the editor: When Target, Michaels, Neiman Marcus and others, cannot protect customers from being sabotaged by technology’s darker side, how do we parents suppose educational data warehouses will be able to protect our children’s personal identifiers and confidential records? Common Core State Standards (the new public school standards) deserves a closer look, if only for its overreaching technological tentacles in pursuit of our families’ personal information. Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems were set up in 50 states, linkable and twin-like, paid for by federal grants. This year, RI Department of Education received another $4 million federal grant. Our RI grant agreement states it is using “data platforms...that enable students, parents, teachers, education leaders, researchers, community members, and policy-makers to directly access the information that is valuable to their needs.” Reuters reported in March 2013 about inBloom (another CCSS related database), “In operation just three months, the database already holds files on millions of children identified by name, address and sometimes social security number.” Wowzers, a provider affiliated with inBloom boasts, “we generate hundreds of data points each day on each student.” (www.inBloom.org/providers) Might our children’s private information be up for sale? The US Dept. of Education Office of Technology issued a Feb. 2013 report which offered ways to record and monitor psychological and affective data on our kids as part of CCSS. Included, were pictures of devices (pg. 44) used to record this student information, including a facial expression camera, posture analysis seat, a pressure mouse, and wireless skin conductor sensor (alternatively, a lie detector). The report continues, “While it is LETTER: Time for a change From FACING PAGE told me every time she hears a gunshot she says to herself “Fly ducks, fly away”. Perhaps it’s time the town reevaluates its current duck hunting policy and makes it “fly, fly away” so we can all live the fine quality of life we are looking for in this majestic town of ours. I thank you for time and consideration. Kindly yours, Cynthia L.

Ed Dieterle and Ash Vasudeva of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation point out that researchers...are beginning to use multiple methods to explore how specific brain activity is correlated with other cognitive and affective indicators that are practical to measure in school settings.” Seriously? Ask Polk County, Fla. residents whose children experienced this biometric privacy invasion in June 2013 as reported by a Tampa CBS station, “Parents [were] in shock after finding out three schools in Florida had been using iris scans to collect biometric data about their children, without their permission.” “Why is biometric and personal information being collected from our children?” Not only is information being extracted from our children, unaware, users of this private information can now be widerranging as stated under changes to section 99.31 of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). These changes, effective Jan. 2012, allow greater access to students’ personably identifiable information identifiers which include biometric data — fingerprints, retina and iris patterns, etc. (At a January RIDE meeting, however, the spokesperson stated no personal identifiers would be connected to student information gleaned.) “The FERPA changes raise troubling questions, as a small group of large corporations gain multistate contracts for the national rollout of the CCSS and tests,” reported Wendy Lecker at Stamfordadvocate.com, last May. Further, “Increasing the number of people with access to this information necessarily increases the possibility of breaches.” Why is biometric and personal information being collected from our children and marketed to strangers? While data mining has a practical seat at the corporate sales and marketing table, leave our children off the menu! Change and technology, joined inseparably at the hip, are rapidly intensifying in the Common Core technology arena. As parents are learning more about its many troubling aspects, they are looking closer — and many don’t like what they see. (Visit nocommoncoreri.com for more CCSS information.) Susan Giordano 47 Washington Road Page 8 Barrington Times February 26, 2014 TEACHERS: Barrington educators weigh in on Common Core State Standards From Page 1 They are not. They certainly influence curriculum and curricula have been created to address these standards, but they are not synonymous. Speaking from the perspective of a secondary school teacher, my colleagues and I have worked together over the last two years to develop grade-level curricula that reflect the CCSS with the goal of creating learning path- “PARCC is just more high-stakes standardized testing which has been demonstrated to be adverse to teaching and learning in numerous ways.” ways so our kids can demonstrate these skills and abilities with respect to reading, writing, and speaking and listening. The district and the state have provided us with strong support and time to get our heads around the standards, create curricula we feel prepares our kids to meet these standards, and revise this curricula and our instructional strategies as we see fit to better serve our kids. “PARCC is something different. PARCC is just more high-stakes standardized testing which has been demonstrated to be adverse to teaching and learning in numerous ways. Additionally, the mandate for all students to take the PARCC tests on computers in 2014-2015 creates an undue financial burden on school dis- tricts and their communities. I do not support PARCC, but as an educator I am in a position to prepare my kids as best I can--using the curriculum I have helped create--to succeed on it. “Still, the important thing to remember is that CCSS and PARCC are related but not the same; one is a set of standards, the other is one way to assess what students know and are able to do with respect to those standards. The baby need not be thrown out with the bathwater.” ■ Teacher 2 — “Katherine Patterson once said at a literary conference I attended that, ‘The Internet is as wide as the ocean but only one inch deep.’ That pretty much sums up my opinion of Common Core and PARCC.” ■ Teacher 3 — “Simply stated I like the Common Core. It has brought wonderful creative dialogs among the teachers in dis- “It has brought wonderful creative dialogs among the teachers in district and across the United States.” trict and across the United States. We have been using it now for about three years and the transition from our previous standards to these was minimal. “As far as the PARCC goes I really don’t feel qualified to comment. None of us have actually seen the test so it is not honestly possible to measure how it will assess our students and curriculum. We are all doing our very best, as always, to meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for what will come. The collaboration between the grades and middle school/high school has been beneficial for all.” ■ Teacher 4 — “I support the concept of adopting national educational standards and the Common Core Standards, specifically. It evens the playing field for students state-wide when all school “It evens the playing field for students statewide...” districts are held accountable to the same level of rigor. “There are several uncertainties about the PARCC assessment considering we have not yet seen its implementation. It is a daily challenge to create meaningful lesson plans that address the elements of the PARCC test as we understand them. However, we are currently using released practice materials from PARCC in the classroom in an effort to best prepare our students.” ■ Teacher 5 — “I can’t say much about PARCC assessments just yet because we haven’t seen or experienced what they are all about. As far as the Common Core goes...I “Bottom line...it’s not as fun as it used to be.” think it is a good set of standards that explains in comprehensible detail, what we expect students to know at each grade level. How districts and states go about finding the curriculum to support the Common Core standards is completely up to them. “Bottom line...it’s not as fun as it used to be. Scripted curriculum can be implemented by anyone without a personality, you know me, I’m not a scripted character. I think the rigor is good and kids are rising to the challenge, they’re doing things that I didn’t think they could do and thinking at higher levels, particularly in math and writing. Will there be growing pains? Sure, but we will figure it out as we go.” ■ Teacher 6 — “In terms of the CCSS, the important thing to remember is that they are just that: standards. They do not dictate how something is taught, when during the year it is taught, or even how much time is spent on any given topic. They simply set an expectation for students by the end of the year or course. Prior to the Common Core we worked with the GLE/GSE’s. Those did exactly the same thing. As far as field testing “They simply set an expectation for students by the end of the year or course.” the standards, I am not sure any standards are really field tested. I am not sure how exactly that would be done. “We have been aligned to the CCSS for mathematics at BMS for three years now. There have been shifts certainly, but we have managed to work through them. In regards to concern over the appropriateness of the CCSS for the younger grades, I am not an expert in that area and would have to defer to my more knowledgable colleagues. For us, they seem to be working fine. “One of the really nice side benefits of having standards that are shared by so many teachers across the country is the availability of shared knowledge and resources. At BMS we do not have a textbook or specific program that we use. Instead we develop our own materials to help guide our instruction. The ability to reach out to teachers all over and have a common agreement on topics taught in a particular grade has been great. Prior to this, the definition of what is taught in Algebra I was determined by the textbook you purchased. It could vary from state to state, district to district, or even between schools within a district. Now, everyone has the same end goal for their students. By no means will an Algebra I classroom in one school necessarily look like an Algebra I classroom in another school. “Teachers need to make decisions about what is best for the students they have in terms of how to instruct them. Districts write curriculum that determines the order in which things are taught, along with suggested materials to help with implementing content. The CC does not script anything, it just sets the end goals. “The other issue you brought up is the PARCC assessment. Truthfully I have no opinion on it yet. Standardized tests seem to be a necessary piece of the puzzle in terms of making sure students are learning what they need to. However, they are only one piece of the puzzle. The PARCC and its counterpart, the Smarter Balanced Assessment are what is being developed to assess the CC. They are not one and the same. We have seen so little in terms of what the PARCC assessment will look like for math that it is impossible to have an opinion. I have no idea what it will actually be like when it is finally written. We should know more this spring.” ■ Teacher 7 — “I generally think that CCSS will be better for the US education system. Everyone more or less teaching the same topics and skills from year to year is a good thing. The emphasis CCSS places on critical thinking and problem solving is crucial, as that is the area where we fall behind the rest of the world. That being said, these standards are incredibly rigorous and ambitious. For a district like Barrington, the change isn’t dramatic as our standards have always been rigorous. I guess I should only speak to the HS math curriculum, but I suspect that others would agree. I also think the rollout plan is problematic. This is not specific to Barrington as everyone is in the same boat. We are rewriting our HS Math curriculum to meet CCSS. That assumes the students coming into the high school have certain prior knowledge. However, we know they don’t have that prior knowledge since Common Core has only just begun. “My running joke while we wrote the new Geometry curriculum last year was that in 9 years, this will be amazing. Meaning that once we are getting students who have been doing CCSS since “I generally think that CCSS will be better for the US education system.” kindergarten, we will be able to truly implement it. “As for the PARCC assessments, I think the fact that they are assessing the Math that students are learning is an improvement over NECAP. Currently 11th graders take NECAP math that tests Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry. With PARCC, students taking Geometry will be tested on Geometry, etc. However, as rigorous and challenging as the NECAP math test is, PARCC is even more so. To use either as a graduation requirement is, in my opinion, a mistake. I don’t think every student in the US needs to be able to do mathematics at such a high level in order to get a high school diploma.” Barrington Times February 26, 2014 Page 9 Charge dismissed against Warren clam-digger Man agrees to pay $45 court costs; no fine A trespassing charge lodged against a Warren man who allegedly cut across private property on Adams Point in order to dig clams was dismissed in municipal court in Barrington last week. Barrington police had charged 59-year-old Mark Konikowski after an Adams Point area resident spotted him digging clams along the shoreline and reported the man trespassing. Police investigated the complaint and discovered that while Mr. Konikowski was free to dig clams anywhere below the mean high tide mark, he had illegally crossed private property in order to access the beach. Police said property deeds stated that a path to the water was a private right of way and not a public path. Judge Frank Connor reportedly agreed to drop the charge in exchange for Mr. Konikowski’s promise that he would not trespass again. The Warren man also agreed to pay $45 in court costs. Teen pays fine for incident A Barrington teenager charged with violating the state’s Social Host law was ordered to pay a $350 fine and $45 in court costs. In exchange, the court agreed to dismiss the police charge. Police had arrested 19-year-old Jared Silk on Friday, Jan. 10. On that date, officers had been alerted to teenagers carrying alcohol out of a car parked near Mr. Silk’s residence. Officers responded and spoke to the homeowner, Mr. Silk’s father, who said his son was hanging out in the basement with some friends. He said he had no idea the teenagers had any alcohol with them. The fine money paid by Mr. Silk will be applied to the BAY Team awareness program. POLICE REPORT Police: ‘Confused’ man tries to enter Atria Saturday, Feb. 15 A woman was walking two dogs when one broke free from its collar and attacked a smaller dog that was being walked nearby. The smaller dog was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. Sunday, Feb. 16 Police responded to Atria Bay Spring Village at about 6:30 a.m. after it was reported that a 22-year-old man from East Providence was trying to get into the facility. A manager from Atria was questioning the man when police arrived. The East Providence resident appeared disheveled and confused, but refused medical treatment. He did not appear to be intoxicated. Officers later transported the man back to Riverside. A Maple Avenue business owner found a strange liquid on the ground near his Dumpster. Monday, Feb. 17 Police responded to CVS after a 30-yearold Warren woman stopped into the pharmacy and requested a prescription refill. An employee said the woman’s insurer would not pay for the refill. Upon hearing that, a man who had accompanied the Warren woman into the store knocked items off a shelf intentionally while leaving the building. Store officials said the woman has a history of trying to fill false prescriptions. Police called her and told her she could not go back to the store. A Joy Street resident said his soon-to-be ex-wife would not stop calling and texting him. A Commonwealth Avenue resident found a large cat that appeared to be injured. Police transported the cat — its owner could not be located — to the Warren Animal Hospital. Tuesday, Feb. 18 Police arrested Brian Rafuse, 40, of Cranston, on a bench warrant issued from Third Division District Court for failure to appear in court on a prior arrest for obstructing a police officer. Wednesday, Feb. 19 A local business contacted police after a customer passed a fraudulent check there for $90. Police contacted the customer who said she was unaware of the issue and promised to drop off the money at the business. Thursday, Feb. 20 A Barrington woman called police to report that her husband had been receiving harassing phone calls. Friday, Feb. 21 An officer located a badly injured deer on the Wampanoag Trail. The deer had been hit by a car and had suffered two badly broken legs. The officer called DEM for assistance, but was unable to get ahold of anyone. The officer euthanized the deer. A visiting nurse who was treating a resident told police that it appeared some extra pills were missing from the man’s pill bottle. Saturday, Feb. 22 Police responded to Alfred Drown Road after residents reported kids being loud in the road at about 11:30 p.m. Officers eventually traced the kids to a Washington Road residence; a girl at the home had been having a slumber party with friends when some boys showed up. The boys were asked to leave and then made noise in the street. They left soon after. A Third Street resident wanted a male visitor removed from the home. Sunday, Feb. 23 A Barrington girl called police after receiving crank phone calls. Monday, Feb. 24 A number of Charles Street residents called police after they discovered someone had entered their cars and stolen some items, including a GPS unit and random CDs. The cars had been left unlocked. alayne white on the move… bristol location will be closed monday, feb. 24th thru thursday, feb. 27th RE-OPENING friday, february 28 at 11 constitution st. providence location is open see our website for hours Page 10 Barrington Times February 26, 2014 AROUND TOWN Preservation society’s Plaquing Program set The Barrington Preservation Society rescheduled the annual Plaquing Program to Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. in the senior center on the lower level of the Peck building, 281 County Road.

On Tuesday, the 285-pound senior competed in his team’s final meet with a broken and dislocated wrist. And in both cases, Noah came away the winner. The team’s final meet of the season was at home against the Mariners, in a scene that was all too familiar to coach Drew Genetti. Last year the two nearly undefeated teams paired off for that season’s final match. This year, however, Mr. Genetti was expecting a different outcome. “Last year at the 195 weight, that was the deal-breaker,” he said of the two teams’ previous meeting. “I knew it was coming to this.” When the Eagles hosted Narragansett High School for the Feb. 18 showdown, both teams came in with identical 15-1 records. From the start, the Eagles struggled against the Mariners in the lighter weight classes, losing the first three matches. It wasn’t until Benjamin Wright came away with the first Barrington win that the Eagles began to turn things around. But it came down to the heavyweights Max Robey, Quinn Morvillo and Noah Robey to Softball clinic offered in Barrington Clinic open to athletes ages 7 to 14 Noah Robey (right) holds onto his opponent, and the win, in Tuesday’s wrestling match against Narragansett. boost the Eagles to 16-1. Down 28-24 with three matches left, Max Robey pinned his opponent in the third period to gain a 34-30 lead. After a match that went into three overtime periods, Quinn Morvillo held onto a 34-33 lead for Barrington, leaving the outcome of the meet up to Noah. Noah scored the only two points of the match in the second period, with his opponent unable to make an effective move to counter. At the end of the third period, those two points held the win for the Eagles. “I had him the entire time,” Noah said after winning the match. “It was just hard to get him down with one hand,” he said. For Mr. Genetti, the dedication of his team was more valuable than the win. “It’s family that we built around this place. We’ve built a great tradition.” With the RI State Championships on March 1, Mr. Genetti shared his thoughts on the outcome. “Quinn (Morvillo) locked up the two-seed. He’s there. He’s got the potential,” Mr. Genetti said of placing in the States. And in the higher weight class, Mr. Genetti is looking to Noah to capture the title.

For Verner-Crist, winning the 4x800 helped to ease her disappointment after finishing the 1,000 meter run in fourth place. “I was disappointed because I got passed right at the finish line,” she said. For the Barrington High School senior, this would be her last run at the states and performed well after taking time off from training due to an injury. “I felt OK. I’m just excited because I medaled and ran a PR (personal record),” said Crist. In the girls’ 1,000 meter event, Mary Kate Coogan took third place in the state, crossing the finish line in a time of 3:01.74, followed by teammates, fourth-place finisher Crist, and Julianna Portelli who placed ninth. For the 55 meter dash event, Brianna Gausland competed in the preliminary race, taking a 10th place finish with her time of 7.64. Due to the number of competitors in that event, her 10th place finish did not qualify her for a lane in the finals, however. In the 1,500, Marcus Sefranek placed 12th in the state, while teammate, Sam Somera finished 15th in the state in the 3,000 meter event. Running in the 4x400 relays, Barrington’s Jake Ray, Aaron Weisberg, Nick Jensen and Tom Richardson combined their efforts, finishing in 12th place with a time of 3:47.52, and Sam Somera, Marcus Sefranek, Grant Auber and Max Guerrieri finished the 4x800 event in 10th place at 8:45.20. While the boys’ team was in the running in the 1,500, 3,000, and relay track events, it was the field athletes who helped the Eagles to their seventh place finish, contributing 18 of the 19 points the team collected. Already the top high school weight thrower in the country, although Adam Kelly didn’t perform his best at the state championship meet, he performed well enough to claim the best in the state. Kelly took first place with a toss of 74’ 7.5”, more than three feet shorter than his national record. Taking fourth place in the same event was Bobby Colantonio who threw for 64’ 5.75”. Colantonio is currently ranked sixth best in the country for the indoor weight throw, with a 69’ 3” throw. Also contributing to the Eagles’ performance in the field event was Mike Alvernez who threw a distance of 57’ 4.5”, the 12th farthest in the state meet. Despite the win in the weight throw event, and a fourth place finish in the shot put, Kelly felt that he could have done much better at the state championship meet. After throwing the winning distance, Kelly’s final throw of the day was disqualified after it landed in the protective netting. “I didn’t think my performance was that great,” Kelly said after his events. “I slipped on my delivery. I’m very happy to win, though.” Kelly will compete at the New England Championships in the shot put event on March 1. In that competition, Kelly’s best event, the weight throw, is not competed. Barrington’s Max Caro also added a point to the Eagles’ score at States, clearing 6’ 0” in the high jump event for a seventh place finish. This year, included as an exhibition event for the first time at a State meet, Barrington’s Jonathan Cavanagh took first place with his pole vault of 12-feet. As an exhibition event, no team points were awarded.

Barrington senior Magdalena Senior’s 3-pointer marks milestone Maura Kelty joins elite crowd of Eagles to score 1,000 points BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z edickervitz@eastbaynewspapers.com Magdalena Rainey performs her routine on the beam during the state meet. Rainey was ranked fourth in the state, but wasn’t able to secure a medal in this year’s championship meet. In last Friday’s girls’ basketball game against Portsmouth High School, senior standout Maura Kelty reached the 1,000-point mark. Barrington coach Stephen Lenz anticipated her reaching the milestone during the game, but kept that information from Kelty and the rest of the team leading up to Friday’s game. Their focus, he said, was playing well against the tough Portsmouth team, narrowly beating them 48-43 in the end. “I told the team right before the game that she’d probably hit 1,000 tonight,” Mr. Lenz said. Dr. Lisa Daft Maura’s second three-point shot of the night — a jumpshot made halfway through the first half — put the Eagles ahead 1514 and put the team captain into the record books. By the time the ball dropped through the net, fans in the stands and the team erupted in celebration, prompting an impromptu timeout. Before the game, Mr. Lenz also told Portsmouth coach Richard Glover to expect a sudden timeout. Since Mr. Glover had coached Kelty on travel teams and knew her ability, he shared in the excitement of her achievement while hoping to prevent her from scoring at all, covering her with two Patriot defenders for most of See FACING PAGE Dr. Chris Vanderpool Family & Cosmetic Dentistry We welcome new patients! 520 Taunton Avenue, Seekonk, MA (508) 336-7260 www.smilebuilder.com Barrington Times February 26, 2014 Page 17 Eagles dominate Portsmouth in boys’ hoops Corey Daugherty scores game-high 31 BY JIM MCGAW jmcgaw@eastbaynewspapers.com Barrington High’s Corey Daugherty scored a game-high 31 points as the Eagles beat the Portsmouth Patriots boys’ varsity basketball team Friday night in convincing fashion, 67-43. Portsmouth held tough early on but the Eagles started putting some distance between them and the Patriots shortly before the end of the first half and never looked back. “I thought it was a good win,” said Barrington head coach Patrick Sullivan. “Portsmouth is a very good opponent. They have very good offensive weapons in (Cole) Swider, (Brennan) Tierney and (Colin) Tullson. I thought the first half was tight as I expected, and then we pulled away a little bit in the second half.” The Patriots got off to a quick 50 lead, with senior guard Tierney sinking a 3-pointer followed by freshman forward Swider driving for a layup. The team put plenty of pressure on Barrington early on, but the Eagles skill — and size — soon began to wear on the home team. “(Portsmouth) is not a big team, but they’re scrappy,” said Mr. Sullivan. “We knew that we’d have to take advantage of the height on our end by either getting points in the paint or offensive rebounds, or both. I think it was more of the JIM MCGAW The Eagles' Corey Daugherty was the game's high scorer with 31 points. offensive rebounds. There were a couple of exchanges in the second half where we’d get rebound, kick it out … that was very helpful for us.” Patriots head coach Joe Occhi agreed it was difficult for his team to overcome the height disadvantage. “They were just too big for us at times — not every time — but we scrapped, we fought,” he said “It was a 10-point game at halftime, and I thought we had given a couple of extra opportunities in the first half to them by not boxing out as well as we could have. So, I felt like it could have been closer. And then Daugherty went off.” Of his 31 points, the Eagles’ junior guard made three 3-pointers and also hit four out of five free throws. “Daugherty’s a hell of a player, and that is a very good team. They’re ranked No. 3 in the entire state,” Mr. Occhi said of Barrington. Mr. Sullivan said his squad’s defense was also a key in the victory. “Our defense in the second half was very, very good,” he said. “We really stuck with our game plan and we were disciplined in terms of who had the ball and what they were doing. We did a better job with our screen defense, we did a better job rebounding the basketball, and offensively I thought we were very efficient, for the most part.” Also contributing for Barrington was junior Kevin Mannix with 12 points and senior Matt Rota with 10. Swider was the high scorer for the Patriots, with 17 points including three 3-pointers. Brennan Tierney had 14 points, including three 3-pointers. Colin Tullson and Jack Kelley each contributed 4 points. OBITUARIES Ruth S. Elliot Enjoyed going to the beach and traveling with her family Ruth S. Elliot, 93, of Zephyr Lane, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Plymouth, Mass. She was the wife of the late Philip C. Elliot. Born in Caldwell, NJ, a daughter of the late Horace and Helen M. (Keenan) Sylvester, she lived in Barrington 67 years. Mrs. Elliot grew up in Essex Falls, NJ and graduated from Bradford College in Massachusetts. Ruth was a communicant of St. Luke Church and a member of the Barrington Senior Center. She was an avid Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins fan. She enjoyed going to the beach and traveling with her family. She is survived by two sons, Michael B. Elliot and his wife Brenda of East Providence and Philip C. Elliot Jr. and his wife Carol of Barrington; two daughters, Susan M. Knight and her husband Alan of Warren and Marion Bott and her husband Thom of Plymouth, Mass.; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A private burial will be held in Princess Hill Cemetery. A memorial service will be held later in the spring.

After the basket, Maura instinctively began to run toward the Portsmouth side of the court to assume her defense position. When the buzzer interrupted play, she looked puzzled, wondering why the game was halted. Those who anticipated the moment quickly unfurled a banner that congratulated her on achievement, as her mother carried balloons in the shape of 1-00-0 across the court. Maura was swarmed by her teammates as she realized what just occurred, she wiped tears of excitement from her eyes. “I thought it was a timeout at first,” she said. “I’m definitely excited.” Only six other basketball players have reached the 1,000 point mark while playing at Barrington High School, said Mr. Lenz. “Maura is the first girl to get 1,000 points playing all four years in Division 1,” he said. “Maura is an exceptional athlete and more importantly, a wonderful person. She deserves this and I am proud of her representation of Barrington girls’ basketball.” In the fall, Maura Kelty signed her letter of intent to attend Caldwell College on a basketball scholarship. On Monday morning, Mr. Lenz received some other news regarding the high school standout. She “has been nominated for Gatorade Player of the Year. The final decision on the award will come at the end of March,” Mr. Lenz said. Eagles win The win over Portsmouth was hard fought. “Our strategy was to not let Sarah Middleton shoot from the outside, and block Kelty to the right,” Mr. Glover said. The strategy worked, holding Middleton to an 8-point game, but leaving other opportunities open for Grace Coutu to score 11 and Grace Restituyo to score 8. “They have the best defense in the division,” Mr. Lenz said of the Portsmouth team. The win put the Eagles at 12-2 in D-I Central, with four games remaining on their regular schedule. The Eagles traveled to St. Mary-Bay View on Tuesday and will host Exeter/West Greenwich on Friday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. Bank, 200 Niantic Avenue, Providence, RI, 02907 would be deeply appreciated.

Tupaj Despite problems, lived with love and compassion David James Tupaj, 51, the beloved son of David and Alice Tupaj, passed away Friday, Feb. 21, 2014 at Kent County Hospital in Warwick. Besides his parents, David is survived by the love of his life, his son, Nicholas of Barrington, and his siblings and their spouses, whom he admired greatly, Gregory (Lori), of San Diego, Calif. and Sandra (Tom) Lozeau of Putnam, Conn. He also leaves many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. David was the grandson of the late Maurice and Adela Landry and Stanley and Mildred Tupaj. A lifelong resident of Warren, David was born March 23, 1962. Despite a lifelong struggle with schizophrenia and drug addiction, David had many virtues for which he will be remembered. A deep and abiding faith in God enabled him to possess a love of life and a tender, compassionate spirit. Quick to praise, kind to everyone and generous in heart, David never judged anyone. He cherished his freedom and was content with his lot in life. The family owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Riverwood Mental Health Services in Warren and the wonderful caring staff there. David was loved, cared for and nurtured by the entire staff, especially Jack, over many years. They accepted David for who he was and brought out the best in him. In addition, the family would like to acknowledge the shelter in which he had recently been staying, Harrington Hall in Cranston. The staff provided a ‘home’ for David where he felt liked and was comfortable. Finally, the family is grateful for the countless acts of kindness shown to David by the community, from Bristol to Warwick, throughout his life, and the many soup kitchens which kept him well-fed.

You can do this by playing outside with pets, walking to the bus stop, and going to the YMCA to work out. Stay active by playing sports you can do horseback riding, indoor soccer and lacrosse, karate, basketball, rock spot climbing, swimming, and many more.

Get lots of air in there. It should be light and fluffy.” The attendees of this Hearth Cooking Workshop, held weekly at Bristol’s 18th century farm museum, were all seasoned home cooks, and the concept of beginning a cake recipe by creaming — thoroughly incorporating — butter and sugar was hardly foreign.

Spinning the string rotates the bird, ensuring it cooks evenly. kitchen. Not updated since the small farmhouse was built in the last years of the 1700’s, no shiny KitchenAid stand mixer was going to come to the rescue. This meal was going to come together in the brick fireplace, by ambient light and candlelight, prepped with wooden and pewter utensils, and cooked over a wood-burning fire. This was going to look a lot like work. The recipes prepared at the weekly workshops are, at first blush, basic: roast chicken stuffed with bread and herbs; stewed lamb with root vegetables simmered in its broth; the aforementioned pound cake. What makes them anything but basic is their source. The ingredients, too, are authentic. Not of the period, thankfully, but mostly all Coggeshall-grown, with the exception of the locally-sourced butter and flour. The eggs were laid by the farm’s hens, and the beets, carrots and turnips were unearthed from bins of sand in the farmhouse root cellar, where they spent the months since the harvest. Preferring dry air, the onions passed their time bundled and hanging by the hearth. The chicken, too, was homegrown; its meager, free-range breast serving as its badge of authenticity, differentiating it from an enhanced factory-raised bird as surely as See HEARTH Page 2 ALONG THE WATERFRONT Cat sailors race at world championships in New Zealand B ristol’s Lars Guck (Bristol Yacht Club) led the local contingent with a 19th place finish (out of 81 boats) at last week’s A Class Catamaran World Championships sailed in Auckland, New Zealand.

As America’s first cookbook author, it is perhaps understandable why Amelia Simmons did not go for a particular culinary niche, and her book shares her knowledge about any and all comestibles that a brave colonial settler might encounter.

It’s incredibly satisfying. And it reflects a trend that is evident to Booth, who spent several years as one of the indefatigable pilgrims inhabiting Plimoth Plantation; and McGrath, whose interest in farming and homesteading brought her to Coggeshall. “With everything being so convenient, you want to hold on to some of the old ways,” says Booth. “Making things with your hands feeds your soul.” For more information on Coggeshall Farm’s Hearth Cooking Workshops, which are held yearround and change with the seasons, please visit www.coggeshallfarm.org or call 401/253-9062.

Herreshoff’s favorite designs: the 12 1/2, Newport 29, and Buzzards Bay 25. All three were conceived in 1914, and turn 100 this year. Owners and builders of these designs are invited to bring their boats to Mystic Seaport and take part in events specially geared toward these Herreshoff classics. “Our hope is that the show will bring people together who are excited to share their passion and energy for restoring and main- taining their yachts,” said organizer Andy Giblin, partner at MP&G Wood Boatbuilding. In addition to the gam of Herreshoff owners, organizers are planning social hour, displays and a panel discussion to explore the enduring appeal of the designs. Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. built 360 of the 12 1/2s between 1914 and 1943, and other builders still produce the design. The Newport 29, by comparison, is a rare design. Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. built only three of them in 1914, and a fourth, in 1926. Dolphin and Mischief still sail in the Newport area and will be at the show, along with recently restored Teaser Rogue and the 2008 cold-molded version Iolanthe, making for a full compliment of the design. The Buzzards Bay 25 is one of the largest daysailers of the classic boat world, a keel centerboarder known for powerful performance. Several can be seen at the Herreshoff Museum and at least one will be at the boat show. Shellfishing closures Rain and snow melt last week caused the R.I.

On May 19, 2013, with the public’s help, the beautifully painted sails were put in place onto the windmill, which gave the mill the ability to run on windpower and grind corn for the first time since 1987. The Four Corners Arts Center is pleased to present an exhibition of the sails as well as Rabins’ research. This exhibit opens on March 1, with an opening reception from 2-4 p.m., Sunday, Installation artist Nora Rabins created colorful sails for the windmill at Portsmouth’s Prescott Farm.

Even though Jerry Ehrlich’s work is constructed out of the detritus of construction sites, he considers himself a traditionalist. Working near Providence, Ehrlich has exhibited extensively across New England, including a solo exhibit at the Newport Art Museum in Newport, and at the Providence Art Club and Lenore Gray Gallery both in Providence. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Dorchester Hotel in London, Duke Energy Headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., and at the Peerless Building, Providence.

Recent featured museum exhibitions include The Newport Art Museum and the Walton Arts Center, Fayetteville Arkansas. Rich's work is featured in private and public collections nationally including the Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, and the Spring- field Museum of Art, Springfield, Ohio. Paulette Hartlett Carr’s work is influenced by ancient Greek and Roman statuary and fashion as well as the transformative consequence that time has on organic materials. Using natural materials such as burlap, copper, steel and wood, her work is intended to gently weather and patina over the course of time. This combination of sculpture within the natural environment evokes the feeling that one may have discovered a sacred place, the meaning of which has been lost in time, but the spirit of which continues to resonate.

Switching Teams or the first time in his career as a professional baseball player, Jacoby Ellsbury is no longer a member of the Boston Red Sox. While we know he has 153 million reasons and seven years to think about it, do you think there are any pangs of regret about switching loyalties? Me neither — baseball is a business and most young players see switching teams as a necessary pathway to financial sucCara While fans CROMWELL cess. might root for a team across generations, there’s no team loyalty for the players and perhaps even less for teams that move players around like chess pieces. While political parties may inspire loyalty from their piece of the electorate in November, the primary process is more divisive than a clubhouse squabble and can weaken even the best of candidates as they are forced to move left or move right to try and shore up the votes of party loyalists. Internal party squabbles can highlight divisions on issues and divide the time, talent and treasure of campaign activists, leaving candidates and campaign accounts drained after the September contests. Rhode Island primaries are also the latest in the country, with just eight weeks between primary day and the general election for parties to unite and candidates to put forward a message that is appealing to the more centrist November voter. All of these scenarios are playing out today in the governor’s race. On the Republican side, Ken Block has been aggressively courting Republican party insiders, hoping that they will bring primary voters his way. As the founder, former chairman and past gubernatorial candidate of the Moderate Party, Mr. Block probably spends a lot of time trying to convince Republicans that he is the better candidate to represent the party. He and Mayor Allan Fung have both been nudged a bit to the right and are talking about gun owner’s rights — an issue that won’t crack the top ten in a general election, but may be top of mind for a more conservative Republican primary voter. The challenge for both of these candidates is to have a message that appeals to the primary voter without saying anything that makes him unelectable in November. On the Democratic side, all three candidates — who probably have few policy disagreements among them — can be less concerned about moving too far to the left to be electable in very blue Rhode Island. However, they should be worried about the primary being so bruising that faithful Democrats or Democratic-leading independents stay home in November rather than casting a ballot for someone they don’t like personally. In our small state, we do have the opportunity to know people (or at least know people who know people) and personalities matter a lot more than they might in a huge state where seeing the candidate on TV is more likely than seeing them at the grocery store. Despite its deep blue core, Rhode Island has a history of electing Republican governors and most of the time, there is a bruising Democratic primary to thank for it. It’s far too early for too much prognosticating, but one thing’s for sure: when the dust settles, only two of the five campaigns will continue. That means that between September and November, thousands of Rhode Island voters are going to be switching teams or deciding to stay home.

Page B4 East Bay Life February 26-27, 2014 POLI-TICKS S Magaziner says he has fresh ideas — and he does eth Magaziner is running for Rhode Island General Treasurer in order to bring new energy and fresh ideas to our state government. He’s full of both! At a recent breakfast at Kosy Korner, the 30 year old Brown (Bachelor) and Yale (Master of Arlene business adminVIOLET istration) graduate outlined his reasons for running for the Treasurer’s post. This Rhode Island native has an impressive background in public service. Following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation in Louisiana, Seth lived and taught for two years in a rural, overcrowded school with displaced residents. Nary a week went by without one of his students leaving school because his family left to secure employment elsewhere. He learned firsthand how economics and market forces profoundly affect quality of life. This experience made him committed to financial literacy education, as well as using his skills to empower working people to take charge of their lives. Magaziner’s work as Vice President of Trillium Asset Management, a socially responsible investment firm which managed a billion and a half dollars of investor’s money, further bur- nished his professional experience. Seeking the Treasurer’s post, Seth first and foremost is focused on implementing a fiscally prudent management approach which maximizes the rate of return with lower risk. He thinks that all avenues of investment should be in play, depending upon the economic picture. Long term ‘lock-ups’ with any investment which requires more than a one-year commitment to a strategy should usually be avoided and all fees have to be transparent and accessible to the public on the State Treasurer’s website. His ideas include assisting cities and towns with developing the tools each need to manage their finances and investments wisely. He would offer the opportunity to pool inter-town investments to reduce fees. Corre- spondingly, he would also investigate a similar pooling arrangement among states in order to get better fee arrangements. Mr. Magaziner wants to build on the Treasurer Raimondo/ Speaker Fox initiative to upgrade our state’ infrastructure, from roads and bridges to school buildings, and to invest in early childhood education and public colleges and universities. Paralleling the Clean Water State Revolving Fund , a similar plan would be implemented for school repairs and energy efficiency retrofits for buildings. All the aforesaid efforts would not only reduce fees for municipalities but also generate jobs. His background working among the disadvantaged has made him sensitive to predatory lending, not only for payday loans which can charge effective interest rates of nearly 300% but also other practices. Magaziner cited a recent Brookings Institute study which illustrated that poor people who resort to pawn shops for check cashing will spend $ 40,000 over a lifetime. ‘’That same $40,000 would grow to $400,000 in stock investments, which means a house, a college education, an entrance into middle class,” he notes. The fees charged for the use of SNAP cards (food stamp benefits), check cashing fees, and other remittances are also too much. He has already talked to bankers to establish less expensive programs for these services for people who traditionally eschew banks. Seth Magaziner presents as a fresh face with fresh ideas. He is optimistic that Rhode Island can restore its prior luster and that he’s the candidate who is committed to having that happen. TRASH OR TREASURE? A ‘mammy’ bench and a Wyman ‘temple’ Q.I have what I think is a mammy’s bench I bought quite a few years back. It has been lovingly used and is unique because it has two gates (for twins) instead of one which allow the mammy to sit on the side and rock the baby safely. I would like to know more about it and Karen maybe its value. WATERMAN A. The “mammy” bench was first created on Southern plantations for the “Mammy” (a female house slave) who was responsible for taking care of the children. A combination of a cradle and a rocking bench, mammy benches usually had plank seats and spindle backs. This one is painted black with gold paint striping which was popularized by Hitchcock chair around 1820-1850. The popularity of the mammy bench spread to other areas of the country from southerners who travelled north for summer vacations to escape the heat. Travel from the south abruptly ended in 1861 with the beginning of the Civil War. Mammy benches (depending on condition) sell for $200- Mammy bench. $400 at auction. Better examples sell for around $800 retail. The “twin” version, though not as common, would not necessarily add value. Q. My husband picked up a piece of pottery at a yard sale last year. Thus far we have determined that it is a piece created by William Wyman, a professional pottery maker from Massachusetts. I was wondering if you might be able to tell us something about this pottery, such as its usefulness and its value, if any. A. William Wyman was a potter who operated Herring Run Pottery in East Weymouth, Massachusetts. Wyman was born in Boston in 1922 and produced pottery from 1953 until shortly before his death in 1980. He produced a variety of stoneware objects ranging from planters to architectural murals. Particularly popular were his “slab” vessels which he referred to as “temples” which paid homage to rock n roll, poems and cartoons. He produced the ovoid shaped vase similar to yours in many styles and glazes. Others similar in the dark brown black glaze have sold for $100-$150.

Energy fund facing urgent need After a brief thaw, winter temperatures have returned to Rhode Island. The cold, coupled with the state’s high unemployment rate and the high cost of living are generating a heightened “urgency of need” from local families who are in temporary crisis and seeking heating assistance from the Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund. The Fund’s goal is to raise $550,000 and assist 1,750 families this winter. The Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund is a safety net for families who do not qualify for federal and state assistance programs. The Fund’s campaign relies on the generosity of individuals, families and local corporations for support. The Salvation Army distributes contributions to families who qualify based on specific household income and family member guidelines. A donation in any amount can be made via the yellow envelope enclosed with energy bills through the end of March. You may also donate online by visiting the Fund’s website at www.rhodeislandgoodneighbor.org or mailing a check, payable to the “Good Neighbor Energy Fund,” to The Salvation Army, 386 Broad Street, Providence, RI 02907. Since its establishment in 1986, the Good Neighbor Energy Fund has raised over $11.8 million and helped more than 42,000 families who have been in temporary crisis and in need of energy assistance.

Fresh flowers, candles, white linens, pearl gray walls, gray patterned carpets, high-backed white leather chairs, a stone wall waterfall and carefully chosen artwork combine to make a comfortable, yet elegant atmosphere. A box of Crayangles at each table invites you to create some of your own artwork on the paper-topped tablecloth. The 60-seat restaurant has been open just over a year and owner and Executive Chef Karen DeLeo has a hit on her hands. On a recent cold evening, the restaurant was full of couples and families and many knew each other. So, there’s a neighborhood vibe along with the relaxed elegance. There’s a dining room to the left as you enter and a second on the right with an attractive bar and large wine rack. The menu isn’t exceptionally large, but it’s still difficult to choose, with lots of comfort foods for winter and innovative turns on old favorites. We started with wine and there’s an eclectic choice from around the world (and Little Compton), with 24 by the glass. Or, check out the margaritas, martinis, classic cocktails, wine and champagne drinks, beers and coffee drinks. Our server Jim carefully described all the luscious sounding specials — a grilled naan appetizer with smoked salmon, goat cheese, capers, red onions and sriracha. The salmon dujour had a black and white sesame crust with honey soy glaze, jasmine rice and pea tendrils. And, a sun-dried tomato and prosciutto risotto was topped with shrimp and divers scallops. A dinner for two with a bottle of wine is $40 Sunday to Thursday and the six entree choices are poached haddock with tomato, onion, red pepper, mushroom and mussels in a white wine herb broth; a grilled breast of chicken with green beans, olives, roasted garlic and artichoke hearts over mashed potatoes; mussels with leeks, fines herbes and Pernod over linguine; a braised short rib with mashed potatoes and kale, pork loin with a grilled chouriço and white bean cassoulet, and sautéed shrimp with tomato and spinach in a garlic herb butter tossed with linguine. Bistro 524 524 Main Road, Tiverton 401/816-5521 www.bistro524.com Hours: 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday Most Popular Dishes: French onion soup, grilled Caesar, crabcakes, bouillabaisse, lamb chops and the salmon dujour Then, the regular menu has a braised short rib, roasted cod and littlenecks, steak frites, lamb chops, sautéed breast of chicken with roasted vegetable sauce, bouillabaisse, salmon of the day, duck breast with drunken cherry sauce, meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes, lobster mac and cheese with shrimp and bacon crumbs, chicken scalloppini, littlenecks and pasta in a white wine, butter and Romano sauce, and a risotto. For lighter appetites there are Black Angus burgers (one with lobster, bacon and cheese sauce) and a chicken Gruyere sandwich. Starters were crabcakes, bacon- wrapped shrimp, whipped goat cheese with basil and walnuts, mussels frites, cheese plate, roasted vegetable bisque, seafood chowder and clam fritter, onion soup gratinée, baby spinach salad, grilled Caesar, and a green salad with apples and walnuts. There are sides of sautéed kale, frites (fries) with Romano and fines herbes or tomato aioli, roasted Brussels sprouts, and pasta with roasted vegetable sauce. We started with some bread hot from the oven and a dish of olive oil fragrant with herbs, garlic and a little Romano. Grilling a romaine heart makes for a divine Caesar salad — the lettuce is crisp with slightly grilled edges and drizzled with a creamy housemade dressing, scattered with grated Parmesan and adorned with a Parmesan crisp and grilled French bread. The onion soup gratinée is baked in a large crock. The savory broth was thick with sweet onions and covered with a fat slice of toasted bread and lots of gooey Gruyere cheese. A blueberry reduction on the lamb chops had just the right amount of sweetness to complement the lemon/thyme marinat- ed chops, which were grilled to a rosy pink medium rare. Crisp/tender sautéed curly kale and olive oil mashed potatoes were perfectly prepared accompaniments. The bouillabaisse was greeted with delight by the seafood lover at the table. A soup tureen of tomato saffron broth held littlenecks, mussels, native cod and big shrimp. A grilled baguette and a spoon guaranteed that all of the amazing broth was enjoyed to the last drop. We really didn’t need dessert, but the list sounded so tempting with German chocolate cake, red velvet cake, flourless chocolate cake, chocolate peanut butter pie, a puff pastry with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, and mango sorbet. The sorbet was the ideal solution and it looked so pretty in a tall stemmed martini glass. The tart, peach-colored sorbet and a sweet blueberry compote with fresh mint leaves was perfect with our coffee and a sweet ending to a very enjoyable evening. pared by some of the finest cooks in Little Compton, who volunteer to prepare delicious meals for senior citizens every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

O cean State Theatre Company is pleased to present Rhode Island’s own Nicolas King (and Liza Minelli’s protege) in concert for a onenight-only event. Recently seen on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, Mr. King has been performing and wowing crowds all over the country since he was four years old. egendary musician Peter Yarrow weaves a narrative of his life in music and politics, punctuating the major events with renditions of the iconic songs we all know and love. From his life in Greenwich Village in the 1960’s, his connections to Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger and his career as part of the trio Peter, Paul and Mary, Yarrow shares a part of American history influenced heavily by music. Yarrow creates community within his audiences through his reflections in both words and music. The Bristol Art Museum presents a juried exhibit, “Show Us Your Best,” in the lower gallery at the library. Featured artist is Jay Egge, painter, who won Best in Show. The other featured artist, Candis Dixon, has 3D artbooks in the vestibule. Community School offers an opportunity to escape the winter blahs and learn for yourself that Shakespeare & Company is about more than works by the Bard, as you will see from their winter production of the Noel Coward comedy, “Private Lives.” The play concerns a divorced couple who find themselves in adjoining hotel rooms while honeymooning with their new spouses in the South of France. The two estranged lovebirds shamelessly rekindle their smoldering passions in this outrageous and scandalous comedy. WHERE: Rogers Free Library, 525 Hope St., Bris- WHERE: Lenox, Massachusetts.

East Bay Life February 26-27, 2014 Page B11 East Bay Real Estate EASTBAYClassifieds.com February 26-28 , 2014 Page C1 MEET HEIDI KELLEY: REALTOR, TRAVELER, COOK AND GRANDMOTHER H BY JOAN D. WARREN eidi Kelley has been in real estate for more than three years. She is an optimist and expects 2014 to be her best year yet in the field. She is the mother of a 26-year-old daughter and is grandmother to a 5-year old grandson. She has lived on the East Coast her entire life, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey, with the majority of time in Rhode Island. She is a member of Sts. Matthew & Mark Episcopal Church in Barrington. In her Keller Williams office she is the "Tech Ambassador" and a member of the Associate Leadership Committee, which is like a board of directors for the market center. Heidi specializes in first-time home buyers and veterans. She currently lives in Riverside. WHY REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER? "In 1988 I was 24 years old and I had taken the New Hampshire real estate exam (didn’t pass it at the time) but I knew when the time was right in my life I would get my real estate license. In 2011 I did just that." WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? "After working for a company doing inside sales for eight years and having to give the kind of customer service they wanted me to give, I knew I could provide better service on my own. I especially enjoy working with firsttime home buyers. It’s exciting sitting down with them and talking about why they want to buy a home. I also love working with veterans. In a small way I get to show my appreciation for their service to our country." WHAT MAKES THE EAST BAY MARKETABLE? "The East Bay is a melting pot of opportunities for investments in real estate. You have everything from commercial development/light industry to historic homes, beachfront cottages, condos and wonderful, family-friendly neighborhoods. Each town in the East Bay has its own personality. If you want an artistic community with great places to eat and hang out, there’s Warren. Bristol is an “all-American” town with its walkable downtown area with shops and restaurants. It also offers beautiful waterfront properties and quaint family neighborhoods. Barrington is a beautiful suburban town that runs along Ten Mile River with lots of family-friendly neighborhoods and a pretty downtown area. If you were looking for a quiet, family-friendly area with lots of green space, Barrington would fit quite nicely. Living on the East Bay is also a short, 30-minute commute to Providence or Newport." WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOW IS LIFE WITH A GLUTEN ALLERGY? "My gluten allergy was diagnosed in 2012 after several tests. I was recently diagnosed as having Celiac Disease, which is different then just a gluten allergy. I cannot eat anything containing flour, wheat, barley, malt, rye, etc. I have to be vigilant in my choice of restaurants, and grocery shopping requires lots of label reading. I eat so much healthier now. I don't look at it as an obstacle, just a new way of living better." Heidi Kelley Keller Williams Newport & East Bay 401-633-4763 A TYPICAL DAY IN YOUR LIFE: HOBBIES? "I recently started taking knitting classes at Knit One Quilt Too in Barrington. I love to travel and have been to 48 states so far. I’m also an avid reader. I'm reading "Daring Greatly;" it's the book my book club is reading. It's about living a life with vulnerability and not looking at vulnerability as a weakness but a strength. I'm also reading "Knitting Yarns," by the local author Ann Hood." HAS THIS SNOWY WINTER BEEN HARD ON YOUR BUSINESS? "The snowy winter hasn't real- ly affected me badly. I've helped two buyers close on their new homes in January and February, and a seller close on his condo in January. I'm fully expecting a busy spring market, with the interest rates still being historically low, and the average listing price being around 3 to 5% higher then last year." FAVORITE SEASON? "Fall is my favorite season, with changing leaves and crispness in the air, followed closely by spring." WHAT IS YOUR DREAM VACATION? "That’s easy … a European Tour. I want to spend a month touring around Europe. This is on my bucket list." WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD TO MAKE? "I love cooking, so I’d have to say Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings." FAVORITE EAST BAY EATERY? "Any place with a great wine list and a gluten free menu. I like the Beehive Café in Bristol and the Wharf Tavern in Warren." "Lead-generating for new business. Whether I’m in my Bristol Keller Williams office or working from home in Riverside, I’m always on the phone or meeting people around town and asking, 'who do you know who wants to buy a home, sell a home or invest in real estate that I could call today?' " WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND? "I like the East Coast. Probably in Virginia or North Carolina. I still want four seasons with a little less snow." ARE YOU A DOG OR CAT PERSON? "I have both, but I’m now more a dog person. My dogs drive me mad, but my house wouldn’t function without them." WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE IF YOU HAD A CHOICE? "I’d live in Bristol on the water."

The second floor, used by the property owners, has a gas fireplace. They utilize the third floor as well for extra living space and guest quarters with a full bath. In the 14 years since they purchased the property, the owners have restored the home to its original grandeur. Known as the Captain Albert Coggeshall Bennett House, it is registered with the Bristol Historic District Commission. The 6,804-squarefoot lot is beautifully landscaped with perennial plantings and a charming stone terrace.
