School district costs aloneexpected to rise nearly
$1 million this year
BY T E D H AY [email protected]
Money is tight in Warren, andcould get tighter under a newbudget plan released to the War-ren Town Council Tuesday night.
Under his plan for 2014-15 fis-cal year, Town Manager ThomasGordon is asking for $23.94 mil-lion to cover the cost of municipalservices and schools. That’s an 8.4percent jump (and $1.856 millionmore) than the town is spendingthis current year.
Pension, salaries, debt serviceand other costs are all headed up.But Mr. Gordon noted in his bud-get plan that a good portion of theincrease is being driven by schoolspending, which is expected torise nearly 10 percent.
Though the Joint Finance Com-mittee has not yet determinedwhat the town will have to pay,Mr. Gordon is predicting educa-tion will cost the town $12.67 mil-lion this coming year, up nearly $1million from the $11.8 million thetown contributed last year.
While it is illegal for spending torise more than 4 percent per year,Mr. Gordon writes in his budgetthat “it is significant that that thisbudget line, in and of itself, placesthe Town of Warren over the 4 per-cent budget cap.” The cost ofmunicipal services is going up aswell, by about 6.8 percent.
The council was expected toreview the budget plan for thefirst time Tuesday night. Fromthere, members will go through itline by line, adjusting it here andthere, before holding several pub-lic hearings on the matter. Warrenvoters will be asked to have theirsay on the budget at FinancialTown Meeting in May.

Sale comes as part oflarger, $1.25M deal tosecure 560 Metacom
Ave. plant from Avilas
BY T E D H AY [email protected]
The owners of a MetacomAvenue rowing machine compa-ny have purchased the so-calledWightman’s Farm property at 500Metacom Ave., and another tothe south, for $1.25 million.
An LLC formed by WaterRowerat 560 Metacom Ave., purchasedthe 17-acre residentially zonedtract from Wightman’s Farm LLC,the former ownership groupheaded by Warren’s Avila family,recording the sale at WarrenTown Hall on Thursday, Jan. 30
The sale came as part of apackage deal in WaterRower’sultimate goal — to buy their 560Metacom Ave. home from theAvilas, who had been their land-lords since WaterRower moved toMetacom from the Cutler Mill in2003.
“The landlord has a differentbusiness model than we do; wewant a nice home that we cancontrol, his model was to try tomaximize profit” from the prop-erty, WaterRower’s Peter Kingsaid. “We are continuing to grow.A lot of (the sale) was just wanti-ng to own the building so we
could clean it up and modern-ize.”
As for the large tract of openspace next door, “we’re not reallysure yet what we will do there.“For now though it’s just nice tohave that open space next door.It’s zoned R-10, so whether wedevelop it or not, I’m not too
sure.”
Contentious historyZoning on the land has been
an issue in Warren for severalyears, after the Avilas triedunsuccessfully to have the zon-ing changed from residential tocommercial.
Dozens of hearings were heldon the issue. Supporters of theAvilas said the family had a rightto try to use the land as they sawfit; opponents worried that re-zoning it to commercial wouldthreaten one of the largest tractsof open space left on Metacom,and also detract from the qualityof life of nearby residents, includ-ing those at the end of AdamsLane. The town council ultimate-ly rejected the Avilas’ requestabout a year ago, and the resi-dential property went on themarket soon after.

Wightman’s Farm sells in $1.25M deal
RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.
WaterRower’s Peter King (in black) oversees production Tuesday morning. His rowing machine firm just purchased the so-called Wightman’sFarm land as part of a larger package deal that will secure his factory into the future.
The large residential tract of land skirting Metacom Avenue and Lib-by and Adams lanes has been on the market for some time, after thetown turned down a zone change sought by its former owners.

Preservation-mindedvolunteer helped bringabout redevelopment
BY T E D H AY [email protected]
One of the driving forcesbehind the revival of Warren’shistoric Armory was honored bythe Warren Town Council Tues-day night.
Ed Theberge, who sits as aboard member of Historic War-ren Armory, was given a Life-time Achievement Award andnamed Citizen of the Year by thecouncil for his work on thebuilding and for other preserva-tion-minded efforts, like thereconstruction of Warren’sbronze cannon, Pallas and Tan-tae, in which he played a role.
Most recently, Mr. Thebergehas been instrumental in theyears-long effort to restore thehistoric 1842 building on Jeffer-son Street. After lobbying forthe town’s purchase of theArmory from the AmericanLegion, he has helped steerconstruction, solicited grants,and acted as a volunteer clerk ofthe works. The Armory openedto the public last fall, and morework is in store.
Reads a resolution written forhim Tuesday night:
“Whereas, Edward J. Thebergehas championed the restorationand revival of the Historic War-ren Armory, a gothic Revival
civic treasure built in 1942-1843. A tireless fundraiser, Mr.Theberge has also secured$150,000 in grants for the pro-ject. He is a member of the War-ren Historical Armory Inc.Board of Directors and serves asits treasurer.
“Whereas, a longtime Warrenresident, Mr. Theberge is vicechairman and a founding mem-ber of the Warren Voluntary His-toric District Committee. He is aformer Warren Town Councilor,George Hail Library Trustee andserved on the former WarrenWaterfront Committee.
“Whereas, in addition to hisefforts on behalf of the Armory,Edward J. Theberge’s passionfor preservation has extended
to the refurbishment of the his-toric cannons “the Tantae” and“the Pallas,” the Baker StreetFederal Blues carriage barn andthe Maxwell House, a signifi-cant 18th Century colonialgable and working museum.
“Therefore, be it resolved,that we, the members of theTown Council and on behalf ofthe residents of Warren, extendour thanks and appreciation toEdward J. Theberge, for his con-tinuous and continued contri-butions to the community anddo herby congratulate him asthe recipient of this LifetimeAchievement Award. Approvedthis 11th day of February 2014.

Kickemuit sixth graderbests 19 to win district
spelling bee Thursday BY
T E D H AY ES
Gabriel Randall said later thathe spent weeks poring over theMerriam-Webster Dictionary,reading books and brushing up onwords. It all paid off Thursdaynight, when the Kickemuit MiddleSchool sixth grader won the Bris-tol Warren Regional School Dis-trict’s annual spelling bee.
Gabriel, the son of pastor DanRandall of the First Congregation-al Church in Bristol, beat out 19other competitors to win the title,spelling “lariat” correctly to sealhis victory. When he finishedspelling and repeating the word infront of a crowded auditorium alittle after 8 p.m., he let out anoticeable breath and smiled.
He’ll represent Bristol Warren inthe state spelling bee this spring.
Through nine rounds of compe-tition, Gabriel’s challengers fellslowly by the wayside until he wasleft with just Caroline Alexandre,who is one grade ahead of him atKickemuit. Some exited after trip-ping over their tongues, others bymisspelling obscure words: Sev-enth grader Amber Garcia, forinstance, seemed perplexed at“wampum,” and spelled it wrongafter asking guest pronouncerMario Hilario of Channel 10 for adefinition (it’s a term for NativeAmerican shell jewelry and mon-ey made from the violet portionsof clams, like quahogs).
Through it all, Caroline seemedunfazed, taking less time than herpeers to spell out each word. Shehas experience, as she won lastyear’s bee. For much of the nightshe seemed confident in her abili-ty to take it again but in the ninthround was tripped up by “unfore-seeable,” opening the door forGabriel’s winning word. LiviaDion, a fifth grader at Hugh Cole,and Kickemuit eighth grader Trin-ity Jones, tied for third place.
When asked later about hisspelling secret, Gabriel said it wassimple:
“I did a lot of reading!”Note: Don’t know what “lariat”
is? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it is “a longlight rope (as of hemp or leather)used with a running noose tocatch livestock or with or withoutthe noose to tether grazing ani-mals.”

Department heads’salaries lag behind
Barrington,Warren,according to figures
BY T E D H AY [email protected]
Warren’s town officials arepaid substantially less thantheir counterparts in the EastBay and across the state,according to figures justreleased by the state.
Many of Warren’s departmentheads — from fire chief to DPWhead, finance director to clerkand others — earn $20,000 ormore less than officials in simi-lar positions in the neighboringtowns of Barrington and War-ren. In addition, they also findthemselves in the bottom halfof the pay-grade statewide, gen-erally falling in 20th to 30thplace in salary rankings amongthe state’s 39 communities.
The trend continues in theBristol Warren Regional SchoolDistrict, where both the busi-ness director and superinten-dent earn less than surroundingtowns — they rank 19th and22nd statewide, as well.
The figures were provided bythe Rhode Island Department ofRevenue’s Division of MunicipalFinance. While the salaries list-ed include longevity pay, theydo not include the cost of bene-fits, such as health insuranceand sick time.
The survey comes as WarrenTown Council members begandiscussion Tuesday night on thetown’s 2014-15 municipal bud-get.

ren’s busiest public officials. Hesans $57,595 (26th placestatewide) while his peer inBristol earns $62,800. Barring-ton’s brings home $79,857.
Town ClerkJulie Coelho’s $57,342 salary
pales in comparison with Bar-rington’s ($68,850) and Bristol’s($74,938). Her pay ranks her29th statewide in that position.
Finance director
Michael Abbruzzi recentlyreturned to work for the townafter a several-year hiatus. Lastyear, the position paid $63,829,while in Bristol the salary was$81,350. The salary in Barring-ton last year was $99,247.
Fire chiefChief Alexander Galinelli
earned $70,957 last year. That’sless than Bristol ($89,836) andBarrington ($91,963). Nineteenfire chiefs statewide earn morethan Chief Galinelli.
DPW headJohn Massed brought home
$72,018 last year, good enoughfor 23rd place statewide. In Bar-rington, the same position paid$103,986; in Bristol, the pay was$99,809.

line Wells does a bit of every-thing. For her efforts, sheearned $53,190 last year, com-ing in 30th place statewide —the lowest state ranking of anyWarren official. Her counterpartin Barrington earned $77,609,while in Bristol the amount was$80,399.

Volunteers sprucing upfacility as tenant
numbers drop
BY T E D H AY [email protected]
Volunteers will spend a goodpart of this week, and probablynext, giving a lift to the WarrenAnimal Shelter.
Moving from room to room,they plan on painting most of thefacility — the kennel area comeslater — and will also put in a newlinoleum floor. Work startedMonday, though a lot of the timewas spent just clearing out a fewsmall rooms in the cramped shel-ter at the end of Wood Street.
“That’s half of it, trying to findsomewhere to put everything,”volunteer Karen Lynch, a mem-ber of the Bristol Warren Region-al School Committee, said.
The paint, primer, supplies,flooring and other materials wereall donated through recent fund-raisers and donations from shel-ter friends. Ms. Lynch said it willtake several weeks to finish thefirst part of the job. Afterwards,they’ll tackle the kennel.
As she and volunteer SueKrause worked Monday after-noon, one thing was absent: Thesound of animals. The shelter,which for years has been overrunwith cats and dogs, has just ahandful this week. There are cur-
rently three cats at the shelterand three dogs, though only twoare available for adoption. Thethird, a pit mix named Lucky thathad been there three years, wasadopted last week, though hisowners are going to be out oftown until March 1. Lucky wasthe shelter’s longest-staying dog.
“We’re so happy he’s goinghome!” Ms. Lynch said.
Though volunteers expect thenumber of cats to go up in thespring, the shelter in general ismuch quieter than it was even sixmonths ago. The biggest changehas been the town’s decision todisaffiliate with a southern res-cue organization that regularly
brought dogs from southernstates to northern shelters, likeWarren’s, for adoption.
The decision to stop the pro-gram came after Heidi Garrity,still officially the town’s animalcontrol officer, left the job oninjured reserve following an acci-dent in the animal control vanlast year. After she left, DPWworker Mike Briggs applied to fillin for her and was hired in thefall. He’s been there ever sinceand has been working with assis-tant ACO Kathi Krause.
“The shelter is really comingalong,” Ms. Lynch said. “It’schanged so much. A little bit at atime.”
Animal selter gets a whitewash
Volunteer Sue Krause paints herself into a corner in one of the War-ren Animal Shelter’s rooms Monday.
Shop owners around Warrenare warily watching out for Dis-cover Warren “wooden nick-els,” after approximately $450worth of them were stolen fromthe Coffee Depot last Monday,Feb 3.
The nickels are a promotionheld over the past two years byDiscover Warren. They’re worth$10 each and are good for mer-chandise in participatingstores across town. They wererolled out at Christmastime thepast two years, but are goodyear-round; merchants whoreceive them are reimbursedby Discover Warren.
On or before Monday, Feb.10, someone stole about ninebags of the coins (five per bag)from a counter at the CoffeeDepot. Soon after, a mandescribed as an older AfricanAmerican with a “friendly” dis-position passed or tried to passsome of them at a few localshops. Word got out, and own-ers are now looking out forhim; Katie Dickson of DiscoverWarren said shop owners arebeing advised to call the policeif the man attempts to pass offstolen chips.
On a larger note, Ms. Dickson
said she was saddened to hearabout the thefts. She said thenickels were a fun, novel way topromote commerce in Warren.No one thought they would bestolen.
“When we came up with theprogram we did briefly chatabout the possibility of theftbut we were like,’Nah, let’s notworry. No one would do that!’”she said.
Though she said that mostmerchants have temporarilysuspended use of the tokenswhile police investigate, Ms.Dickson said she’s still accept-ing them from her regular cus-tomers.
Police are investigating thetheft, Lt. Roland Brule said.

Opinion
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
It took a toll furor to achieve it, but Rhode Island finallyhas the outline of a real plan to care for its tiredbridges and roads.
First glimpses of a bill designed by members of a speciallegislative panel were revealed this week and the results arepromising not just for those who abhor the idea of a steeptoll on what amounts to a neighborhood bridge.
The beauty of this one — and what sets it apart from pastproposals — is that it addresses far more than the mainte-nance of four bridges in one corner of the state. The plancrafted by East Bay lawmakers and supposedly backed by abroader bipartisan coalition focuses on the big picture —keeping all of the state's bridges upright for decades tocome.
The Rhode Island way has typically been to ignore bridgemaintenance until it is way too late, then borrow to buildanew. The shortsighted Chafee plan was to halt that bor-rowing and replace it with tolls paid by those in an out-of-the-way corner of the state, their neighbors in Southeast-ern Massachusetts, and tourists (until they wised up andheaded to more welcoming places).
This plan relies mostly on money that the state alreadyhas by setting up what amounts to an enforced savingsplan for roads and bridges. In the same way that a smallamount set aside each paycheck can fund a retirement,this plan calls for an across-the-board “haircut” says oneauthor — trim is more like it given the modest scale of thecut.
It also would consolidate the Rhode Island Turnpike andBridge Authority within the state Department of Trans-portation, putting an end to what has proven a confusing,counterproductive and costly way of caring for roads andbridges.
Worn out bridges and roads are a crisis statewide andprevious plans, especially the Sakonnet River toll scheme,ignored the full scope of the mess.
Finally a plan has emerged that is worthy of support evenamong those who never cross the Sakonnet and could careless whether it is tolled.
The special committee was charged with delivering aplan to address the big picture of failed and failing bridgesand roads. It has done just that.

To the editor:The Kickemuit River Council
(KRC) is grateful to the CoastalResources Management Coun-cil (CRMC) for their decision toreexamine their proposal tochange their rules to allowmany changes, particularlymarinas, by AdministrativeAssent. We hope CRMC finallydecides not to change theirrules.
We also want to thank theBristol and Warren town coun-cils, and Save Bristol Harbor forsupporting the KRC in theirrequest. Thanks, too, to theWarren Times and BristolPhoenix for their excellent cov-
erage.Thanks, also, to Caroline A.
Karp from Brown University forwriting a letter to CRMC aboutit and to all the citizens whocame to the hearing. Thankyou, too, David Urban, KRCPresident, Anthony DeSisto, JimHarper, LPIA President, NedMcGreavy and David Urban,KRC President for standing upfor the Kickemuit River and thewaters of Rhode Island. TheKRC is grateful.
I remember coming to thefirst hearing in the 1960’s aboutthe the previous Bristol CountyWater Company’s putting muckinto the Kicky. The Warren Town
Hall was packed with youngmen speaking out for the river. Isaid to myself: “These are a peo-ple after my own heart.” You stillare.
As Margaret Mead said, “Nev-er doubt that a group ofthoughtful, committed peoplecan change the world. Indeed itis the only thing that ever has!”Thanks to all of you for support-ing the Kickemuit River againand again.

To the editor:The Rhode Island Medical
Society commends and con-gratulates CVS Caremark for itsvoluntary plan to removetobacco products from theshelves of its 7,600 retail storesnationwide. With this decisionCVS sets an example of goodcorporate citizenship that allother pharmacy chains shouldemulate. The juxtaposition ofpharmaceuticals and other
health- and wellness-relatedproducts with the sale oftobacco, which is harmful andaddictive in all its forms, hasalways been a blatant incon-gruity in
American drugstores and adisservice to consumers. Thatis why the Rhode Island Med-ical Society again this year ispromoting legislation thatwould ban the sale of tobaccoproducts anyplace where
healthcare services are provid-ed. Thanks to CVS' courageous,logical and pioneering move,we
can now hope that otherpharmacies will consider thewelfare of their customers andobviate our legislation.

100 YEARS AGOTaken from the pages of theWarren and Barrington Gazettethis week in February 1914:
Tough tripAndrew Simpson had a hard
journey on Monday night throughthe storm. Suffering from appen-dicitis, his removal to Hope hospi-tal was recommended, and theprivate ambulance of R. G. Magee,with Chauffeur Brady at thewheel, was secured to carry Simp-son to his destination. It was a ter-rible storm, and as well a terriblejourney. Starting when wind andsnow were raging the fiercest, themachine and its occupants bat-tered with the elements for hours,before the destination wasreached. Drift after drift wasbucked and at times they seemedimpassible, particularly those atKent’s corner at at George John-son’s. At Riverside Simpson wasgiven stimulants and braced upfor the remainder of the journey.He was landed finally at the hospi-tal, but only after taxicabs andteams had assisted in pulling theambulance through the drifts. Atlast accounts he was resting com-fortably in spite of the severity ofthe trip.
Our feathered friendsHow many of our readers have
given a thought to our little feath-ered friends, these past few days/It would be but a small task eachday to scatter some of the wastecrumbs and bits of meat upon anopen space where birds can alightand eat. One very good way is tohang a bone, with shreds of meat,suspended by a cord from some
nearby tree; or a chunk of breadcan be used in the same way.Don’t think it will not be appreci-ated. Your door yard will be themeeting place, of all the neighbor-hood, for a throng of noisy and ill-behaved visitors, chirping, chat-tering, scolding, as they gorgethemselves on your bounty. Butthey will reward you many foldwith the returning Spring andSummer. Certainly your bread willbe as that cast upon the waters.For these same little friends willwatch over your gardens andtrees; rid both of many of thepests, bugs, worms and insectsthat spoil our flowers, fruits andvegetables. The storm has been atrying one for the birds. In sometowns and cities, many have beenfound starved and frozen. Withthe cutting down of the copse andthicket on the outskirts of townand village, and with the destruc-tion of the heavier woodland, thebirds have lost their winter homes.Flying about the towns in thewarmer days they would return towarm sheltering spots at night;orin the coldest weather remainsecluded in the thick of the brush-wood, feeding on the berries,dead insects and what life theycould find. Because man isresponsible for the laying waste ofthe woodland; so is he a thou-sandfold more responsible to thebirds, since he has deprived themof their means of subsistence. It ishis duty to provide something inreturn. In some European citiesand even in some of this country,there are funds to provide grainand other dainties for the birds.This is a good theme for the boys
and girls of our schools. Coax thebirds to stay around your home.Try the experiment of feedingthem. See how tame they willbecome in a shorty while, andhow soon they will come to knowyou for what you really are — afriend of the birds.

At present the oyster-men are having hard work in get-ting at their product and the mar-ket is getting low. The intense coldhas made the task of getting oys-ters out of the river and bay one ofextreme difficulty and thoseengaged in the business have suf-fered considerably.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:Growing up in Tiverton, some of
my fondest memories occurrednear the water, playing on the sea-wall in front of my parents' houseand spending long summer daysat Fogland Beach. I have no doubtthat the time I spent in these gor-geous settings is what lead me topursue a career in marine scienceand conservation, so I could bet-ter understand and protect thisimportant resource. Right now,our entire state has an opportuni-ty to protect it too.
Last week, a bill was introducedthat would ban plastic bags atevery store’s checkout counter.
This announcement came oneday after the nonprofit groupEnvironment Rhode Island deliv-ered a petition signed by 10,000Rhode Islanders who support theban.
Plastic bags are a significantproblem in our state for severalreasons. Besides being an eyesore,they also clog storm drains andtax our water treatment systems.But the worst effects occur whenthey reach our beloved Narra-gansett Bay. Once these bagsmake it to our waterways, theychoke and entangle importantmarine life that we depend on fortourism and sustenance. Plastic
bags do not biodegrade, but breakinto tiny pieces that absorb toxicpollutants in the water and accu-mulate up the marine food chain.
Plastic bag bans have success-fully passed in Washington D.C.,San Francisco, and our very ownBarrington, RI, but we have anunprecedented opportunity topass the first statewide ban.Please call your local representa-tives in support of the ban onplastic checkout bags. I can’t thinkof a better way to show apprecia-tion for our Ocean State.
Caitlin Luderer MandelBristol
Plastic bag ban a great idea for our state
To the editor:As a student at Roger Williams
University, I am writing to supporta plastic bag ban in Rhode Island.Too many plastic bags enter themarine environment, where theywill never biodegrade. This meanswe are leaving this problem forfuture generations. Why should westick with this outdated productwhen there are so many easy andcost saving alternatives? Reusablebags are already becoming a major
trend and we should embrace thisopportunity to help the environ-ment and future generations.
A bill recently introduced in theR.I. House of Representatives willban disposable plastic checkoutbags at the point of sale at retailestablishments, including grocerystores, pharmacies, take-outplaces, etc. For Rhode Island, thiswill mean a cleaner NarragansettBay, which people in the OceanState depend on for their liveli-
hoods, from tourism to fishing.We need a statewide action to
eliminate these plastic bags thatpollute Narragansett Bay –– and infact Rhode Island could be the firstin the country to have a state-levelplastic bag ban. I urge RhodeIsland to be an environmentalleader by banning plastic bagsstatewide and setting the prece-dent for other states to follow.

Provides $900 millionover next decade for all
roads, bridges
BY B R U C E B U R D E T [email protected]
Lawmakers are crafting a billthat they say will provideenough money to maintain allof the state's bridges and roadsa decade and more into thefuture without tolling theSakonnet River Bridge.
That bill, a product of thespecial legislative panel taskedwith seeking ways to fundbridge maintenance, should becomplete within the week, saidstate Rep. Jay Edwards. He andothers outlined the likely high-lights at a gathering hosted bythe Portsmouth Concerned Cit-izens last Wednesday.
The bill will identify $900,000worth of revenue from a varietyof sources to care for thebridges, he said. Rep. Edwards,Senator Christopher Ottianoand Sen. Louis DiPalma are theprimary authors but "we aregetting considerable input fromothers" on the special panel."It's not just the few of us inthe East Bay who are involvedin putting this together.
Senator DiPalma, too,believes this bill is already gar-nering broad-based support onthe committee and beyond.
"One of the criticisms beforehas been from people in otherparts of the state who say, 'I
don't want to pay for theirbridge.'" This measure, howev-er, goes "beyond just ourbridges. It addresses trans-portation needs — bridges androads — across the state for thenext decade."
The legislation, the authorssaid, will identify several
sources for bridge maintenancemoney:n A state constitutional
amendment now forbids thestate from spending more than97 percent of its revenue — thebalance goes to the state 'rainy-day' fund for use in capitalspending needs. Their trans-
portation bill would gradually(over six years) increase thatrestriction to 95.5 percent —"That additional 1.5 percent,amounting to about $52.5 mil-lion a year, would be dedicatedto maintaining our bridges,"Rep. Edwards said.
"Every department is gettinga 1.5 percent haircut but theresult benefits every depart-ment." Higher education, forinstance — "If you can't get toURI or RIC because our roadsand bridges are falling apart,then higher education has seri-ous problem."
"It doesn't happenovernight," Sen. DiPalmaadded. "If we can't find a quar-ter percent per year in our statebudget, we've got bigger prob-lems than bridges … This isclearly a joint effort and abipartisan effort — a collabora-tion — the result of which willbe to answer a statewide prob-lem."n A 5 percent surcharge
would be tacked on to Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicle fees forfive years only — "The lawwould include a sunset provi-sion" ending the 5 percent sur-charge after five years.
This would generate about$45 million during the first five"lean years" while the statepays off its remaining bridgedebt, Rep. Edwards said. There-after, the money that had beenspent on debt will be used forbridges.
There would be other smallerrevenue sources, he said, "butthese are the big ones."n The measure would specifi-
cally forbid any toll on theSakonnet River Bridge.n The bill would provide sub-
stantially more money for theRI Public Transit Authority, Sen.DiPalma said.n The legislation would place
the Rhode Island Turnpike andBridge Authority (RITBA),which oversees the four bigEast Bay Bridges, within thestate Department of Trans-portation.
The benefit of this, Rep.Edwards said, is that RITBAcould continue to toll the New-port Pell Bridge — "We will stillneed that revenue" — andtolling is a power that RIDOTdoes not have.
"RITBA would continue tocollect tolls," added Sen. DiPal-ma. "They are very good atthat."n The omnibus bill will delay
implementation of SakonnetRiver Bridge tolls from April 1to July 1.
The plan, Mr. Edwards said,is to introduce the bridge rev-enue measures within the statebudget "so that GovernorChafee, who has been laser-focused on tolling this bridgefrom the outset" won't be ableto veto the bridge fundingpackage. The governor does nothave line item veto power socould not single the measuresout from within the budget, headded.
"This state faces a billion dol-lar transportation infrastruc-ture issue" and this bill offers asolution using "mostly existingmoney," Sen. DiPalma added.

Resident photographsbald eagles on
Hundred Acre Cove
Bald eagles have been turningheads in the East Bay recently.
In late January, Sowams arearesident Bill Gauntlett was
preparing him-self a cup of cof-fee at about 8a.m. when hespotted twolarge birds sit-ting on thefrozen ice of thePalmer River. Hegrabbed his
camera and moved to the win-dow to get a better look at thebirds — after a short stare herealized the birds were, in fact,bald eagles.
Mr. Gauntlett said the two baldeagles spent most of the day eat-ing a dead bird, leaving theirmeal at about 3 p.m. He said oneof the birds flew north while theother flew to an area along theeastern edge of the river.
On Sunday, Feb. 2, fellow Bar-rington resident Heidi Piccerellisaw two bald eagles standing onthe ice on Hundred Acre Cove.She snapped some photos, cap-turing the memorable event.
Just three days earlier, Ms. Pic-cerelli spotted two bald eagles —possibly the same birds — sittingatop an osprey perch in the cove.
According to web resources, abald eagle’s natural range coversmost of North America. It oftenfeeds upon fish but will also eatother birds.

The Mt. Hope High Schoolwrestling team held onto itsnumber one spot in Division ISouth, even after giving up amatch to Cumberland on Mon-day, Feb. 10.
The home match-up had Cum-berland scoring 43 to Mt. Hope’s30, with the Huskies strugglingfor a win in the meet. Cumber-land, a team that has yet to lose amatch in the 13 meets they’vehad this season, are atop thestandings in Division I North.
While the Clippers dominatedthe meet, Mt. Hope’s Collin Car-dosa, Christian Torres, SeanThibaudeau, Jon Perroni, TylorFenwick and Jared Sousa postedwins for their team, four of themby pins.
Neither team gave up a matchto forfeit, fielding a wrestler in all14 weight divisions.
In the Huskies’ meet on Friday,Feb. 7 against Woonsocket, thefield of wrestlers was much dif-ferent.
Only six Woonsocket wrestlerscame to the meet, giving up eightmatches to the Huskies by forfeit.Of the five matches that went tothe mat, Mt. Hope took four withScott Primiano (decision), DavidSwansey (fall), Vaughn Byrd (fall)and Jon Perroni (major decision)securing wins.
The Huskies have three meetsremaining in the regular seasonin which they hope to remain inthe top spot en route to thechampionship bracket. The teamhosted Middletown (1-9) onWednesday, Feb. 12, before trav-elling to Westerly (1-8) on Thurs-
day, Feb. 13. Their final regularseason meet will take place atMt. Hope on Wednesday, Feb. 19,

The Mt. Hope High School boys’basketball team added to its win-nings in Division III East, beatingJohnston 74-42 before trumpingPilgrim, 64-47.
While Johnston has only wonthree games all season, the Pil-grim Patriots offered some resis-tance in hope to improve their 7-4record. But the visiting Huskieshad another outcome in mind.
Kyle Valenzuela led the gamewith 22 points, including two 3-pointers and hitting 100 percentof his eight free throws. Alex Fran-cis and Matt Scott both recorded a13 point game, contributing to thewin.
For junior, Tyler Barbosa, persis-
tence is paying off. Throughoutthe season, his many attemptsfrom outside the three-point archave careened into rebounds. Asof late, however, Barbosa hasfound his mark, hitting eight 3-pointers over his last three games.His outside accuracy helpedagainst Pilgrim where he hit two3-pointers in his 12 point game.
At 11-1, the Mt. Hope HighSchool boys’ basketball team isholding onto first place in Divi-sion III East, with a game againstthe second place team, Middle-town, a week away.

US Watercraft Rendezvous
Local meteorologist at the vanguard of
a new industry paradigm
BY C H RIST Y N A DA L I [email protected]
Fred Campagna wasn’t look-ing to be a trendsetter,though he did want to beahead of the curve. After 14years in broadcast televisionas a meteorologist for thelocal ABC affiliate, he recog-
nized that the television industry wasn’tmoving quickly enough to keep up with soci-ety’s changing media consumption habits.Today, immediacy is key, especially whereforecasting is concerned. He knew that it wastime to strike out on his own, with a differentkind of business model.
His clairvoyance aside, the truth is thatCampagna was motivated by somethingmuch more basic, and far more important,than industry trends: his family. “It was aquality of life decision,” he says. “I wasworking late every night, and my kids weregrowing up so fast. Time was flying.”
Campagna decided to not let any moretime pass without making a change, and inAugust 2012 he launched Right Weather, aninternet-based weather forecasting service:“The Right forecast, Right when you needit.”
Accessed through his website at rightweather.com, or Rightwx, a free app for iOSor Android, it has proven to be as nimbleand flexible as the broadcast model is cum-bersome and overly rigid for today’s media-hungry consumer.
As one of the first meteorologists in theProvidence-New Bedford market toembrace social media, none of this surpris-es Campagna, whose Twitter and Facebookfollowers far outnumbered his former net-work’s market share long ago.
It’s a national trend, highlighted just lastweek in an article “The Search For The Inter-net’s Next Top Weather Nerd,” by CharlieWarzel on Buzzfeed. Warzel notes that inter-net-based weather has an interactive com-ponent to it that becomes indispensablewhen severe weather comes to call. In a nat-ural disaster, the ability to access forecastingon demand could have a tremendousimpact on public safety.
Campagna’s business includes a numberof private clients; primarily municipalities
and large snow removal contractors withlarge crews, for whom an accurate and time-ly forecast has a very real impact on the bal-ance sheet. “It’s a service that helps them runtheir business a lot more efficiently,” he says.“They tell me I’m a big reliever of stress.”
One criticism of the movement towardinternet-based forecasting is the fact that,conceivably, anyone with access to the com-puter models that are the tools of the meteo-rologist’s trade, which is to say, everyone, cananalyze them, come up with their own con-clusions, and throw a forecast out there. Wesaw a perfect example of that in action lastweekend, when Sunday blizzard rumorswere on everyone’s lips, but unsupported bylegitimate forecast sources. “That was asocial media creation,” Campagna says. “Itwas actually a teenager in Philadelphia whosaw the models and tweeted out what couldhappen. He was ‘wishcasting.’ Thing is, hehas something like 15,000 Twitter followers,
so it went viral.”Campagna was not among the meteorolo-
gists who were annoyed by the false report —some going so far as to claim it was theequivalent of shouting “fire!” in a crowdedtheater. He knows it doesn’t reflect on hisown credibility, something for which he haslong been recognized. In his last year inbroadcast television, before founding RightWeather, Campagna was certified mostaccurate in the Providence-New Bedfordtelevision market by Weatherate, an inde-pendent forecast verification service.
Accuracy is where the hard science of allthe U.S. government’s computer models —as well as the ones from Canada, Europe,and Japan and elsewhere that factor into anyforecast — gives way to witchcraft. Not liter-ally, perhaps, but Campagna doesn’t have amuch better explanation for how he man-ages to look at the same raw data that every-one else sees and create a forecast that is typ-
ically less imperfect than those by many inhis industry. “I’ve done it so long, it’s kind ofhard to say how I come up with it,” he says.“Calling it expert intuition makes it soundlike I’m a little full of myself, but I don’t knowwhat else to call it.”
However Campagna comes up with it, it’sworking. He’s looking to expand his clientbase, and hoping to take on more institu-tional clients, like the many colleges and uni-versities in the region. And he’s branchingout into new areas and applications, mostnotably forensic meteorology, where he isroutinely called upon to testify about theweather in court cases. Currently he is undercontract with a production company that’spitching a show about the discipline. Hope-fully you won’t need Campagna to testify foryou (or worse, against you) in a court of law.But you can still benefit from his expertise —and intuition — with a visit to rightweather.com.

Nearly a century ago,one Rhode Islander’s
Olympic dreams cametrue — just for the asking
BY C H RIST Y N A DA L I N
Rhode Island doesn’t produce alot of winter Olympians. We arehours from mountains of any sub-stance, and this winter excepted,we don’t get much snow. A quickscan of Olympians on the Rhode
Island Heritage Hall of Fame web-site reveals a handful of hockeyplayers, including Sara DaCosta,the goalie for the women’s icehockey team that took home goldin Nagano in 1998.
In fact, before DaCosta, the onlyother Rhode Islander to win goldin a winter games did it in 1928 atSt. Moritz, in the (now-defunct) 5-man “bobsleigh” event.
Geoffrey Mason, who died inRumford in 1987 at the age of 84,was a native of Philadelphia and a
graduate of Bowdoin College,where he excelled in severalsports. Bobsleigh was not one ofthem. In fact, he rode one for thefirst time just 19 days before hismedal-winning run.
Mason’s journey to Olympic glo-ry was detailed in an interviewwith Sports Illustrated writer PhilJohnson, published in February of1984.
Mason tells Johnson how, whileliving in Germany in 1927 with hiswife and two children, he read anewspaper article about the U.S.entry into the new Olympic event.According to Johnson’s article,Mason said “I’d never thoughtabout being on an Olympic team,but when I saw this I figured I hadnothing to lose, so why not try.”
He wrote to the organizers, whoinvited him to San Moritz. Unbe-knownst to Mason, the team hewas about to join was one of thefavorites for gold. For the next twoweeks Mason would train with histeam, riding the bobsleigh whichwould be christened USA II.
Unlike the high-tech sleds mod-ern bobsledders tuck into, thebobsleigh of 1928 looked muchlike an extra-long child’s sled. Therace would begin with the driverin position, and the other four
members of the team would stackthemselves on top, “shingle-style.”The brakeman, and in the case ofMason’s team the #4 man as well,would “bob” on command,adding thrust for the duration ofthe ride.
At St. Moritz, bad weatherwould ultimately shorten theevent to two races instead of four,with Mason’s team edging out theother American team and a Ger-man team for top honors.
His gold medal in his pocket, it
having been unceremoniouslyhanded to him by a bobsleddingofficial, Mason returned to his fam-ily in Germany. Not long after theywould return to the United States,settling initially in Pittsburghbefore moving on to Rumford.
After spending much of hiscareer as a manager for the New-man Crosby Steel Company inPawtucket, Mason retired andlived out his days in the East Bay,an unlikely — but very lucky —Olympic champion.

C&C builds new Redline 41C&C Yachts announced last
week that the first production hullof the Mark Mills-designed Red-line 41 is under construction. Theboat is being built at US Watercraftin Warren for an experiencedBritish ocean racer who plans tocompete in the 2014 Newport
Bermuda Race. The C&C 41 is the newest mem-
ber of Mills’ family of race-win-ning 40 footers and is expected tobe a strong offshore competitor.
It won’t be stripped out howev-er. The builders (the same peoplewho build Alerion yachts, say itwill offer “a touch of elegance withit’s teak interior.”
Swim race back on courseSave The Bay has received
notice that the start of the 38thAnnual Swim for Narragansett Baywill be welcomed back to NavalStation Newport.
Last July, Save The Bay wasforced to alter the course for theswim due to sequestration cuts tothe military. Historically, thecourse started in Newport andended at Potter Cove inJamestown. Last year’s course wasreconfigured in a triangle to startand finish at Potter Cove.
“We are thrilled,” said ExecutiveDirector Jonathan Stone. “I don’t
need to tell you how dramatic,exciting, challenging, and historicthis route is: across the East Pas-sage, below the towering span ofthe Pell Bridge, over 130 feet ofdeep ocean water.”
On Saturday, July 19, 2014, SaveThe Bay will once again welcome500 swimmers to the two-mileopen water swim across the East
Passage.

Hunt Harrier 25-footer.The new boat features a hull
and superstructure designed by C.Raymond Hunt Associates. It willbe powered by twin 1,600 horse-power diesel engines with Hamil-ton water-jet drives. It should becapable of speeds up to 31 knots.
The 80-footer (with 4-foot draft)will launch in the summer of 2015.

The place and the time isthe New York City of 1905and as we observe this
scene in the downstairs theatre atTrinity Rep what we see is a col-lage of small set pieces, interior
views of thedomiciles thedenizens of theera reside in,ranging fromrooming to townhouse. The widearray of colorsthat meet oureye contrast,both vibrant and
muted, rather like the characterswe shall meet here and verymuch like the quilt Esther hasspent her life making and hassewn her life savings into.
This is the world of the play“Intimate Apparel” and it is, asthe title suggests, a delicatelywoven piece (though thankfullynot at all flimsy) but one designedto get gently under your skinrather than be worn over it.Pulitzer Prize winning playwrightLynn Nottage employs lush lan-guage that is full of poeticimagery to spin her yarn thatpays full attention to all the littledetails of a life filled with longing.
Though all the characters thatwe meet desperately desire some-thing else out of their lives andthese deep needs of theirs oftenserve cross and double-crossedpurposes of the others onstage,“what you got she wants andwhat she got you want,” as onecharacter puts it, this is primarilythe story of Esther and her life-time of dogged and deferreddetermination.
Esther is a seamstress and, at35, fears to be forever a spinster.She has eked out living makingcorsets and petticoats — a tradethat weaves her connectionsranging from high society clientMrs. Van Buren, prostitute confi-dante Mayme, and Jewish fabricpurveyor Mr. Marks. But what
looms large on her horizon is hercorrespondence with George, aBarbadian laborer working on thePanama Canal who dreams ofcoming to New York and, like her,of marriage. How these dreamsreach fruition and what fulfill-ment may come forms the basisof the tale.
“Intimate Apparel,” rather likeits protagonist Esther, employsexceeding patience to achieve itsends; time and care is taken toallow the cumulative elements ofthis narrative to build slowly andinexorably. The weight of a lifespent waiting is given full due,this requires some patience fromthe audience as the eventsdepicted here are not rushed intobut the end result is well worth it.The story slowly draws you inthough the characters, and eventsdepicted are poetically interestingbefore they become, as theyeventually do, dramatically inter-esting. This is what a great play
and production can achieve forus, the ability to slowly but surelywade into the circumstances, notonly of a time and place, but ofan entire life.
To this considerable end JaniceDuclos directs these proceedingswith great care. Attention is givento the nuance of the moment aswell as the great arc of events andthe director is adept, as shesteadily ravels the threads of thistale, at keeping our attention taut.There is an inherent tensionunder the surface of the restivestillness of these lives that thedirector evokes well and buildsup to an inevitable conclusion.We are, as the author intended,always aware of the interior livesof these disparate charactersassembled onstage.
The complexities of these liveshave been given full measure bythe Trinity Rep Acting Company.Mia Ellis is a marvel as Esther;there is a sort of quiet courage
that imbues every aspect of herpersona onstage. Her wants andneeds seem to bubble up from adeep, still wellspring inside her,tempered always by a sense ofdignified determination. Theactress is not ‘plain’, as the textsuggests, but her eyes and self-regard seemingly belie this truth;her watchful and wary counte-nance onstage suggest a perma-nently fractured spirit beneathher façade. Hers is a very mea-sured and moving performance.
Subtleties of the self alsoinform Joe Wilson Jr.’s perfor-mance as George, her long-dis-tance lover. There is a unfulfilledferocity to his ends onstage, aninherent frustration of his deepdesires that run the emotionalgamut from being justly aggriev-ed to petty petulance. Within hismild manner there seems to be acoiled spring of dangerousnessthat the slightest feather touchmight trigger.
Mauro Hantmann is a sheerdelight as fabric salesman Mr.Marks, he is simply seems such adecent and charming man that inwatching the scenes between himand Esther your heart cannothelp but root for them and wishfor a better time and place for aJewish immigrant and a blackseamstress to have a long, happylife together.
Barbara Meek is, as always, aformidable yet benign presenceas rooming house landlady Mrs.Dickson.
As socialite Ms. Van BurenAngela Brazil conveys a sense ofweighed down flightiness; onewho would be frivolous if it werenot for her stymied desires.
Shelley Fort provides an essen-tial earthiness and absolute hon-esty as prostitute Mayme.
To he able to start with such astrong story is a gift for DirectorJanice Duclos and she guides thiscarefully-crafted show with a surehand, gently but firmly drivingthese characters and their con-cerns onward. That great care hasbeen taken with this play thatcontains such a subtle forceextends to the scenic design ofPatrick Lynch, where the finishedwoodwork molding on the interi-or of these rooms, a clutteredassembly of habitation not unlikea quilt, resembles the lace workembroidery of the petticoats andcorsets that Esther fashions.
Somewhat later in the samecentury and city depicted herethe poet Langston Hughes willwrite of deferred dreams, a quali-ty here that playwright Lynn Not-tage gives considerable substanceto. All onstage in “IntimateApparel” are lonesome souls,their dreams are deep but rarelydark, most long only for a gentletouch. As we in the audience bearwitness to these vivid and quietlives, their dreams, much likeEsther herself, endure.

Resident acting company members Angela Brazil as Mrs. Van Buren and Mia Ellis as Esther in “IntimateApparel,” by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage.
Page B4 East Bay Life February 12-13, 2014
She was the classic heavymetal video vixen, aniconic figure in the MTV
heyday of hair bands. When wethink back to those over-the-topdays, one name comes to mind:Bobbie Brown.
Best known as “that hot girl”in the Warrant“Cherry Pie”video, Brownmarried JaniLane, the singerfrom Warrant,and lived a lifeof total 80’sexcess. Today,she is the authorof “Dirty Rocker
Boys” (Simon And Schuster) anda reality television personality,starring in “Ex Wives of Rock” onthe Fuse network.
“Dirty Rocker Boys” is a classictale of what not to do, and a roadmap of who’s who in rock androll to date — and to stay awayfrom. From Tommy Lee toLeonardo Decaprio; Kevin Cost-ner to Jani Lane, Bobbie has been
there and done that. The drugs,the meth, the addiction, the abu-sive lifestyle, it’s all here.
Her book is a testament to herstreet smarts and her persever-ance. I found it hard to putdown. Some parts, like the blackmagic spell against Matthew
Gunner, seem almost comicaland unreal. Other parts, like theday she learned Jani Lane wasdead, haunt you with their hon-esty. The pages are filled withraw emotion.
I recently had the opportunityto talk with Bobbie Brown, and Ifound her to be friendly, funny,and a genuine, honest individ-ual. True to herself, she pulled nopunches.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO WRITE THISBOOK? I’ve been working on theidea for about 4 years. When Ifinally got out of my old contractand signed with Simon andSchuster, it took about a year. Itwas a lot harder than I thought itwas going to be.
HOW INVOLVED WERE YOU WITH THEEDITING? WERE THERE THINGS YOUWANTED IN, THAT THEY DIDN’T AND VICEVERSA? Actually I wanted to be abig part of the process. I didn’twant it to come across like aninterview. I wanted my story to betrue and honest. I got nervoustowards the end because it may
have been too honest. But they,(Simon and Schuster editors) werelike, “No leave it in.” I thought itmight cause controversy but theysaid that made it honest. So I am alittle bit nervous.
WERE YOU A FAN OF THE GLAM METALSCENE AND MUSIC BACK THEN? Some ofit. I never was a big Poison fan oranything like that. I thought Janiwas an amazing songwriter and ofcourse I loved his music. I didn’teven know they (Warrant) wrotethe song “Heaven” until I did thevideo. I was like, “Oh you guys didthis song?” And they were just like“wow...”
CAN YOU DESCRIBE A TYPICAL NIGHTON SUNSET STRIP BACK THEN? Special.Totally different now with all thisreality television. Everyone isfamous now for whatever.

then works its way up from there.
YOU LIST A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU KNEWAND SOME YOU DATED. I HAVE TOASK...KEVIN COSTNER? WAS HE MORE“DANCES WITH WOLVES” OR “WATER-WORLD”? More like Waterworld.(Laughs) Yeah.

ROD STEWART? Yes. Some hookups, others are just crazy stories.Tommy Lee, Milli Vanilli...
MILLI VANILLI? I dated Robert(Pilatus). So yeah that story is inthere. It’s preconceived notionabout me. I didn’t grow up a heavymetal chick. I was a dancer wholiked hip hop and dance music.

Abraham Lincoln wasborn 205 years ago thisweek, and remains one
of the most popular figures inAmerican history — and litera-ture. In honor of Honest Abe’sbirthday, check out one of thesegreat reads.
‘Killing Lincoln’
BY BI L L O ’ R E I L LY A N D M A RT I N D U G A R D
“With malice toward none and charity for all.”
When Abraham Lincoln spokethese words in his second inau-gural address, John Wilkes Boothwas in the audience. A Confeder-ate sympathizer, Booth wasenraged by Lincoln’s attempt toheal a war-torn nation. Boothbelieved that black slavery waspart of the hierarchy of nature,and that the attempt to abolish itcaused the Civil War. When Boothlearned of the imminent fall ofthe South with the burning ofRichmond, he decided to takeaction. So begins a suspensefuland dramatic account of the lastdays of the war and the finalhours leading up to Lincoln’sassassination.
O’Reilly’s vivid description ofthe battle scenes appeals to thereader’s senses. One can hear thebark of the order to attack, tastethe dry-mouthed fear on thetongues of the soldiers, see thesun glint on the cavalry’s sabers,feel the plunging blade of swordinto flesh, and wince at the ago-nizing cries and curses of thewounded. Those who lose theirweapons resort to bestial anddesperate extremes, biting eachother’s mouths and ears andnoses. In the thick of action, oneUnion General Washburn resem-bles “a frenzied dervish, riding tallin his saddle, his saber slashing
and slaying everything in itspath.” In another battle scene,Gen. George Custer “races hiscavalry toward the enemy, show-ing no mercy, cutting to piecesrebel troops on foot. On theground bodies are sprawled —absent heads, arms and legs —lying in gruesome contortions.
The second half of the book isdevoted to Lincoln’s final daysand hours in a minute by minuteaccount which builds to thedenouement. Included are manyominous details and coinci-dences:
! A few weeks before his death,Lincoln has a foreboding dreamabout his assassination.
! On the day of his death, thePresident tells a friend, “I believethere are men who want to takemy life. And I have no doubtthey will do it.”
! On the night of his assassina-tion, Lincoln’s loyal and trustwor-thy bodyguard is replaced by onewho has a reputation for irrespon-sibility and unreliability. This sub-stitute leaves the Presidential boxat Ford’s Theater to have a drink ina nearby tavern, allowing Bootheasy access to Lincoln, whoremains unprotected.
! Guards who should be onduty disappear from their posts.
! Bridges that should be closedremain open, allowing the assas-sins easy escape. (Booth was notthe only assassin; three otherswere to attack Vice PresidentAndrew Johnson and Secretary ofState William Seward, all at theexact time of l0:l5 p.m., April l4,l865.
! Telegrams to army personnelto commence a search for theassassins are not sent.
This book is gripping, and leavesa lot for the reader to ponder. Ifhistory books were written as“Killing Lincoln” is, few studentswould skip their assigned reading.This is the way to teach history.
Mrs. Lincoln’s DressmakerBY J E N N I F E R C H I AV E RI N IBorn into slavery, which was
her life for 37 years, ElizabethKeckley purchased her freedomand that of her son Robert andmoved to Washington, D.C., whereshe opened a dress shop. Throughsheer tenacity, hard work, and anenterprising and entrepreneurialspirit, she honed her dressmakingskills to become the sole modisteand mantua maker of first, Mrs.Jefferson Davis; next, Mrs. RobertE. Lee; and eventually, Mary ToddLincoln.
For many years, Elizabeth wasnot only Mary Todd’s personalassistant, but also a close friendand confidante. As such, she was aclose observer of not only the Lin-coln family members, but also ofhistory as it was unfoldingthroughout the Civil War years.She became a great admirer of thePresident, who earned her respectby his devotion to his family anddeep love for his children; hishumility and good nature; hisintegrity and strength of character;his determination to hold thenation together; and his sinceresense of fairness and justice.
Elizabeth saw Lincoln wearyfrom the stress of his office, heart-broken at the loss of young lives,burdened by the casualties andinjuries suffered by those he hadordered into battle, and con-cerned and solicitous of his wife’sfragile mental state. In all of this,she found it remarkable that Lin-coln was able to maintain a senseof humor. Having contracted amild form of smallpox and quar-antined in the White House forthree weeks, he joked weaklyfrom his sickbed, “Now let theoffice seekers come, for at last Ihave something to give them.”Her primary responsibility was toMary Todd, not only in preparingher for state occasions, but morein tending to her changeablemoods, calming her in her fre-quent anxiety attacks, bolsteringher confidence, and advising herabout her extravagant habits. Itwas only in the company of Eliza-beth that Mary Todd foundsolace, comfort, and uncondi-tional acceptance; devoid of criti-cism and judgment.
Theirs was an unusual friend-ship, and after her husband’sassassination, Mary Todd’s depen-dence upon and need for Eliza-beth was constant and unrelent-ing. After Mary Todd had left theWhite House, she would summon
Elizabeth to come tend to her instates far away, including NewYork and Illinois, totally obliviousto the personal and financial sacri-fice she asked of Elizabeth, whonever hesitated or refused.
Despite this closest of bonds,their relationship was severed bywhat Mary Todd interpreted as abreach of confidence, althoughElizabeth never intended it to beso. This was truly tragic for both,since Mary Todd ended up con-fined to an institution and Eliza-beth in a home for “Destitute Col-ored Women.” Throughout theyears Mary Todd refused to acceptElizabeth’s many attempts to apol-ogize and reconcile.
This very good historical novelboth gives the reader further
insight into the lives of Presidentand Mary Todd Lincoln, it cap-tures their feelings, as well as thoseof Elizabeth Keckley’s, duringthose critical years in Americanhistory.

BOOK REVIEW
Q. I was cleaning out myaunt’s attic and came acrossthis. Can you tell me what it is?
A. You have found a “flowerfrog,” popular in the 1920’s and1930’s and used to arrange flow-ers. They are still producedtoday, and can be found inmany styles and made out of all
different typesof materials,including glass,pottery, lead orbronze. Somehave holes inthem, some arecage-like, andsome havemetal spikes or“hairpin” loops
which hold the stems in place.They were also produced inmany shapes, and while this oneis a simple round shape, someare very elaborate and may havea figure attached to it. Thelargest manufacturer of glass
frogs in the United States wasthe Cambridge Glass Company
from Cambridge, Ohio. If yoursdoes not have a stamp or mark-ing, there is a chance it predates1875.
While not all that valuable,there are plenty of people whocollect them (Martha Stewartbeing the most famous). Thereare clubs for collectors andmany books on the subject.

I love these muffins. They have avariety of grains, which give thema lot of flavor, along with thebanana, maple syrup and pecans.They are a hefty muffin, but notheavy.
I got the recipe from one of myfavorite food blogs, Je Mange laVille. She adapted it from a DorieGreenspan recipe. I changed itsome more.
Banana Pecan MuffinsMakes 12
! 1 cup all-purpose flour! 1/3 cup whole wheat flour! 1/3 cup cornmeal! 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats! 2 teaspoon baking powder! 1/4 teaspoon baking soda! 1/4 teaspoon salt! 1/4 cup brown sugar! 1 cup buttermilk! 1/4 cup applesauce*! 1/4 cup melted butter! 1/3 cup maple syrup! 2 large eggs! 1/2 cup chopped pecans! 1 ripe banana, mashed (or slicedif it’s really ripe)
Preheat the oven to 400°F andspray a muffin tin with non-stick
spray.Combine the flours, cornmeal,
oats, baking powder, bakingsoda, brown sugar and salt in alarge bowl. Whisk to incorporatethe sugar. Stir in the pecans.
In another bowl combine thebuttermilk, syrup, eggs, apple-sauce and melted butter. Whiskto combine. Stir in the banana.
Mix the wet mixture into thedry mixture being careful to stirthe batter only enough to com-bine the ingredients.
Divide the batter evenlyamong the muffin cups. Let sitfor a minute or two. Bake for 18
to 20 minutes or until the topsare golden and a thin knifeinserted into a muffin comes outclean. (These don’t rise a lot).Turn out onto a wire rack and letcool for a few minutes.
* If you don’t have applesauce,you can increase the melted but-ter to 1/2 cup.

BY JOAN D. WARREN
Kerri Payne decidedto enter the realestate industry after15 years as anactive consumer of
various types of real estate,including time shares, rentals,rehabs, vacant land and single-family homes. She also enjoyshome design and decor andwanted to combine her love ofreal estate with her creative tal-ents, resulting in a real estatecareer with a specialty in homestaging.
With these skills, she can offerher clients both real estateexpertise and the value-addedservice of staging their homesfor optimal appeal to potentialbuyers.
Kerri previously worked formany years in the health careindustry as a physical therapist,rehabilitation director and infor-mation systems director for anational healthcare company.
Kerri is committed to makingher community a better placeand is a former president of theNayatt Elementary PTO andcurrent president of theHampden Meadows PTO, both
in Barrington. She also serveson the board of Arts Alive!, anonprofit theater organization.Kerri is also an active memberof the Barrington Yacht Cluband the Kendbrin Swim &Tennis Club. She holds a physi-cal therapy license in the state ofRhode Island and participates inrecreational swim and triathlonevents.
Kerri and her husband, Steve,have been married for 16 yearsand have 10-year-old twindaughters. She has lived in theEast Bay for 14 years. Hermotto is: Life is how you deco-rate it!
WHY REAL ESTATE AS ACAREER? "Real estate andhome staging were both hobbiesthat I loved, so it just madesense to combine those interestsinto a great career. I also wanteda job that was flexible enoughthat I could continue to be homefor my family and remaininvolved in my community."
IS IT A SECOND CAREERFOR YOU? "Yes. My first careerwas as a physical therapist. Thatled me into health care manage-ment and ultimately informationtechnology as it relates to the
health care industry. Beforehaving my children, I was aregional IT director for a nation-al health care company."
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOSTABOUT IT? "For me, there isnothing better than staging ahome using mostly what theowner already has on hand, thenwatching the look on their facewhen they see the transforma-tion. It is fun and rewarding, notto mention profitable."
ANY DISLIKES? "The sameflexibility that makes real estatea good fit for my lifestyle as amom can also sometimes be achallenge. It can be difficult toturn off the technology. It is now
a 24/7 industry, and agents canwork from just about anywhere,any time if they want to.Luckily, my children are there toremind me when I don't followmy own rules about screen timelimitations!"
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOURHOBBIES? "I'm a bargainhunter. I love shopping for con-signment and secondhand finds,many of which I use in my stag-ing. I also swim, bike, run, andas a family, we enjoy skiing andboating. I have a background indance and am also involved inchildren's theater."
BEST VACATION EVER? "It
was the last trip I took with myhusband before the kids wereborn. We went for two weeksand hit Sydney, Melbourne andsurfers paradise. We snorkeledthe Great Barrier Reef and helda koala named Barney!"
BUCKET LIST ITEMS?"Would love to make it to asmany of the natural wonders aspossible."
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULI-NARY CREATION? "I don't cookwell at all, but no one complainsabout my chocolate crock potcake."
BEST FAMILY DAY? "On theboat to Potters Cove with thecooler, the kids and the dog. Noone can escape!"
LUNCH WITH ANYONE?"Jesus."
WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND-BAG? "What isn't in my hand-bag would be easier to answer.I have officially turned into mymother!"
STAGING ADVICE FOR SELL-ERS? "Remember that when ahome goes on the market itbecomes a product. Like anyother product for sale, it shouldbe marketed in packaging thatallows it to look its best."

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.
