An accident involving a townrecycling truck left one womantrapped in her car for severalminutes while rescue crewstried to separate the two vehi-cles wedged together at thepassenger side door. thewoman was not injured in theaccident.
The truck was stopped onWood Street picking up recy-cling when a green Chevy Mal-ibu pulled up alongside andparked immediately in the pathof the stopped truck, accordingto a Bristol Police report. Thedriver of the green car put thevehicle and park and got out atthe same time the recyclingtruck was preparing to pullaway from the curb.
The truck’s front tire collidedwith the car’s front passengerdoor, wedging the tire’s lug nutsin the door, fastening the vehi-cles together. Rescue crewsworked for several minutes tofree the passenger, but were
unable to get her out of the car.A Bristol Auto Body tow truck
arrived and ripped the car offthe truck’s lug nuts, leavinglarge holes in the side of thecar. The car’s front passengerside tire was also flattened inthe accident.
The driver of the recyclingtruck told police he did not seethe car park directly in his pathbecause it was in his blind spot.The car’s driver said he was try-ing to flag the recycling truckdown to ask for directions.
“It was crazy,” said John Nito,who lives in the neighborhoodand witnessed the accident.“The green car pulled up rightbeside the truck and hit thetruck. The guy said he wanteddirections to Main Street.”
Both the driver of the truckand the passenger in the car,however, said the green car wasparked and the recycling truckcollided with the door when itstarted to pull away from thecurb. No one was injured in thecrash.

Marylee Dixon stood at thepodium Friday, trying to holdback tears of joy as she talkedabout her love for baking and hernewly expanded business, Cup-Cake Contessas.
In front of her, hundreds offriends and business associateslooked on as they gathered to cel-ebrate the opening of Hope &Main, Rhode Island’s first kitchenincubator.
“Isn’t this an amazing day?” saidMs. Dixon, a Barrington residentand one of 30 “incubees” who willsoon start cooking in Hope &Main’s kitchens.
“We all have varied storiesabout how we got here: Workinghard, having great products butfacing a lot of obstacles, and need-ing something like Hope andMain to really get us going for-ward.”
Today, she said, the obstaclesare gone.
Friday’s grand opening was theculmination of five years of workso long and grueling that the incu-
bator’s founder, Bristol residentLisa Raiola, used to refer to heridea as “Hope & Maybe.”
But Ms. Raiola and her support-ers persevered, eventually secur-ing a $3.2 million loan from theUSDA that allowed them to pur-chase the old Main Street Schoolfrom the Town of Warren andtransform it into a facility unlikeany other in the state.
With 17,500 square feet of class-room and cooking space, and anarmy of experts to help witheverything from cooking to mar-
keting and packaging, Hope andMain may be about cooking, butit’s really about empowermentand economic development, Ms.Raiola said.
“Hope & Main is not aboutfood,” Ms. Raiola said. “Hope &Main is about people. It’s aboutpeople who are simply hell benton a new idea. Start-ups are aboutfacing defeat and not beingdefeated. They’re about beingdown but not going down. Butthey are mostly about grit.”
Throughout the ceremony,speaker after speaker talked aboutRhode Island’s food economy,noting that Rhode Island isbecoming known as much for itscuisine as its maritime traditionsand beautiful beaches.
Stimulating that economy —and keeping the money local — iswhat Rhode Island needs to focuson, Sen. Jack Reed said, and Hopeand Main will be a big part of thatby stimulating internal com-merce.
“Why ship our cucumbers outof state and earn pennies on thedollar?” Ms. Raiola asked. “Whenour friends at New Urban Farmersgrow the cucumbers, and ZibbyGoldfarb makes the pickles andJoe Simone serves them in hisrestaurant, a dollar has changedthree times in Rhode Island, andthat’s economic development.”

Bristol recycled nearly 2,000 tonsof material last year, earning morethan $27,000, a profit that could bemuch higher if the town boostedits recycling rate.
Rhode Island Resource Recoveryrecently distributed checks to the39 cities and towns in the state forprofits realized from the sale ofrecyclables. The municipal share ofthe profits for the year ending June30, totaled $1,502,616.
Bristol ranked near the bottomfor East Bay towns in recycling —East Providence (a city of about47,000 people) led the way, recy-cling more than 4,800 tons ofmaterial. Barrington recycled 2,398tons followed by Portsmouth withabout 2,100 tons, Tiverton with justmore than 2,000 tons, and Bristolwith 1,935 tons. Warren residentsrecycled 1,300 tons, and LittleCompton rounds out the groupwith 527 tons.
RIRR Executive Director MichaelOConnell is urging towns to usethe money to promote “cleaner”
recycling by educating residents onwhat is and is not recyclable. Whena high amount of trash is mixed inwith recyclables, towns mustunload in the landfill instead of therecycling plant.
The director congratulated Bris-tol for enlisting residents to helpwith improving recycling withgroups like Bristol Recycles. Still,the town falls far short of similartowns in its efforts.
Bristol generates the most trashand recycles the least when com-pared to 13 similarly sized towns inRhode Island, according to RIRRdata. In fact, the town produces thefourth most trash in the state, andhas the third-worst recycling rate atjust 17.4 percent.
That low rate will cost Bristol res-idents if it doesn’t turn around.Under a new agreement with RIRR,Bristol will be able to ship less of itstrash to the landfill at its primaryrate of $32 per ton, dropping from7,200 tons to 6,800 tons. The townwill have to pay $54 per ton afterthat. Bristol sends about 10,000tons of trash to the landfill eachyear.
Bristol is considering newoptions to combat residents’ reti-cence to recycle, including “pay as
you throw” — which charges resi-dents directly for the weight oftheir trash — and “no bin, no bar-rel” — in which trash is not pickedup unless recyclables are on thecurb as well. Middletown was ableto increase its recycling rate to 30percent after instituting a pay asyou throw system, according toTown Administrator Antonio Teix-eira.
In all, the state’s municipalitiesrecycled 97,844 tons of material,which RIRR sold, returning morethan $1.5 million to cities andtowns. Resource Recovery alsotook in more than 33,000 tons fromcommercial sources in and out ofstate. The city of Warwick recycledthe most, totaling more than10,000 tons, which translated intoabout $150,000 of profit sharingfrom RIRR.
“Together, we are improvingrecycling behavior in R.I.,” Mr.OConnell said in a release. “We arekeeping recyclables out of thelandfill and many municipalitiesare delivering an increasedamount of recyclable materials tous. They have made changes intheir collections that reduce theirlandfill disposal fees and improvetheir recycling performance.”

A proposal to install solar panelson the roof of Kickemuit MiddleSchool would be free and save theBristol-Warren Regional SchoolDistrict up to $11,000 a year,according to the developer whomade the proposal.
The regional School Committee,unsure of the savings and fearful ofthe panels’ impact on schoolbuilding warrantees, rejected theplan, opting to seek a better deal.
Bristol resident Paul Raducha,owner of alternative energy devel-opment firm Newport Renew-ables, proposed installing a 100kilowatt solarpanel systemon the roof ofthe middleschool to helpoffset theschool’s elec-tricity needs.The systemwould save theschool districtup to 13 percent of its electricitycosts, he told the committee.
“I thought this was a greatopportunity for the town to dip itstoe into the renewable energypool,” Mr. Raducha said. “This is ano-brainer. I think it would makesense for the town.”
Best of all, the solar systemwould likely come for no cost tothe district, he said. The RhodeIsland Office of Energy Resourceprovides cash grants for up to 75percent of the cost of a solar pro-ject up to 50kW in size. Seeing asKickemuit serves two towns, thestate would likely grant the full 100kilowatt system. Also, CommerceRhode Island, through the Renew-able Energy Fund, provides a cashgrant that ranges from 20 percentto 30 percent of the cost of a solarproject.
“I only choose projects that arelikely to be fully funded by thestate,” Mr. Raducha said. “And wewere going to waive the deposit iffor some reason they didn’t get thegrants. They all agreed it’s a greatidea — let’s not do it.”
Indeed, the School Committeevoted unanimously over the sum-mer to reject the proposal. It’s notthat the district isn’t interested inrenewable energy, according to
School Committee Chairman PaulSilva. Rather, the committee hasheard different savings numbers —as little as $6,000 a year — and isconcerned about warrantees onthe building, particularly withrepairs to the middle school roofcosting upwards of $1 million aftera leak badly damaged the auditori-um ceiling.
“Is this something we’re interest-ed in in the future? Absolutely. Butthere are a lot of unanswered ques-tions and concerns,” Mr. Silva said.“When you just spent a milliondollars on a roof, you don’t jeopar-dize it for $6,000 savings a year.”
Mr. Raducha insists the savingswould be higher,and even thathis $11,000 esti-mate is “conser-vative.” Theschool districtpaid more than$111,000 topower Kicke-muit last year,down from
$131,000 in 2013 and $152,000 in2012.
Newport Renewables hasinstalled similar solar systems onbusinesses and schools statewide,including Alex & Ani, Gilbane and,most recently, Rocky Hill School inEast Greenwich. He said the sys-tem is reliable and warranteed. Thepanels are manufactured to last upto 40 years, he said.
“The technology is there, andthere are no moving parts tobreak,” Mr. Raducha said. “Here’s asystem for free, and we’ve alreadyinstalled a successful system on aschool. I was kind of bummed theymade the decision not to do it.”
Mr. Silva indicated he was disap-pointed the project didn’t workout, as well, and interested in look-ing into similar systems.
“Personally, I don’t care if we onlysave $1,000. It’s still money wedon’t have to pay,” Mr. Silva said.“We’re not throwing somethingaway and saying no. If it can be acost savings to us without jeopar-dizing what we have, we’ll be doingit.”
Superintendent Mario Andradesaid the school district is commit-ted to green initiatives and savingon power costs, and is exploringusing solar power in schools.
Questions remain before school district
commits to solar

Man reportedly tried tokeep firefighters, officers
A Bristol man is facing severalcharges after allegedly fightingwith a police officer during a firecall to his apartment.
Devon A. Gomes, 21, of 3Franklin St., Apt. B, reportedly triedto prevent firefighters from enter-ing his home to investigate reportsof a kitchen fire in the apartment.Mr. Gomes told officers and fire-fighters they had no right to enterthe apartment — even thoughthere was a fire there — and tried tophysically obstruct the front door,according to reports.
After Mr. Gomes refused severalorders to clear out and walk to thesidewalk and stood toe-to-toewith Officer Kevin Kitchen “in achallenging stance,” OfficerKitchen attempted to escort himto the front of the building out offirefighters’ way, reports indicate.
“Gomes was resistant as soon aswe started walking and immedi-ately after we went around thecorner he began to actively resistand try to stop me from walkinghim out to the sidewalk,” OfficerKitchen reported. “He pushed offof me in an attempt to get away atwhich point I told him he wasunder arrest.”
Mr. Gomes reportedly contin-ued to resist, so Officer Kitchen
took him to the ground, where thestruggle continued. At the sametime, a woman was yelling at offi-cers to release Mr. Gomes, tellingthem “you don’t know who I am,”and two men with Mr. Gomesstood over Officer Kitchen tellinghim to let their friend go.
“I told them to get out to thesidewalk as I continued to strugglewith Gomes to get him hand-cuffed,” Officer Kitchen wrote.“Neither male moved and theycontinued to stand over me. Atthis point I believed that they weregoing to physically intervene andattack me so I asked the firefight-ers on scene to attempt to escortthem out to the sidewalk.”
Two firefighters took control ofthe other two men while OfficerKitchen continued to fight withMr. Gomes, who was pushing andkicking at the officer, according toreports. After getting a burst ofpepper spray to the face and see-ing more officers approaching,Mr. Gomes submitted and washandcuffed and escorted to apolice car.
He was charged with assault,disorderly conduct, obstructingan officer and resisting arrest. Atthe station, he reportedly told offi-cers he had been drinking prior tothe incident, and that he foughtback “because there was no videofootage.”
Bristol man arrested after fight with police

Mr. Luongo was processed at the Lincoln
Woods barracks and arraigned in Sixth DistrictCourt before Magistrate Joseph P. Ippolito. Mr.Luongo was also presented as a probation viola-tor and ordered held at the Adult CorrectionalInstitution.

Residents of a 3 Franklin Street apartment reportedly tried to preventpolice and fire officials from entering the apartment to respond to akitchen fire. One man was arrested after allegedly fighting with police.
Accessibility is not a word often associatedwith police forces. Out of necessity in manycases, but simple nature in others, somepolice departments are often hesitant to pro-vide what is by law public information, which
only serves to erode public trust.But the Bristol Police Department is an exception.The department is one of only seven in the state to provide
all information within the legal timeframe, and record noviolations on a public records audit conducted byACCESS/RI. The non-profit freedom of information coali-tion audited all 39 cities and towns in Rhode Island to checktheir compliance with the 2012 Access to Public Records Act,which is designed to guarantee all residents have access toinformation and records from the government.
The audit examined police departments, school districtsand town halls, finding police forces to be particularly non-compliant. Nearly half the departments in the state failedto provide arrest reports within the 10 days required bystate law. Many failed to provide call logs in a timely man-ner, or not at all, and several failed to have a representativetrained on APRA, a requirement of the 2012 law.
Bristol had five employees trained. The department rou-tinely provides police logs and arrest records in a timelymanner, and the department has a philosophy of openness.
“We need the public’s trust,” said Deputy Chief StevenContente. “The best way we can gain that is by opening ourdoors whenever we can.”
And trust is what it’s all about.
Hope & Main
It’s all been said before now, but congratulations areagain in order for Hope & Main, RI’s first kitchenincubator, which opened Friday. The opening wasdue not just to the hard work of a few dedicated indi-viduals including Bristol resident Lisa Raiola and her
staff, but also the town of Warren. Taking a leap of faith onan untested idea showed a spirit of innovation.
As Ms. Raiola pointed out last week, cheering the openingof Hope & Main is a bit like cheering for the stadium beforethe home team’s even arrived on the field. Still, the regionshould be proud of its support for this worthy venture.
May the sweet smell of commerce waft out of 691 MainSt. in Warren for many years to come.

“We truly like to think that weoffer something for everyone,” saidGeneral Chairman Ray Lavey. “Wepride ourselves on that fact. Ofcourse when most people thinkabout Bristol, the parade immedi-ately comes to mind, but we are so
much more than that.” Do you enjoy planning events?
Do you enjoy working with otherstoward a common goal? Would youlike to be part of a long patriotichistory recognized throughout theUnited States?

! You filled 3 dump trucks withold paint.
! You filled 1 dump truck withstyrofoam.
!You filled 1 box truck with elec-tronic waste.
! You bought 25 energy efficientlight bulb packages from National
Grid ($100 value for $10).!You bought 10-plus bundles of
compost bags.! You picked up 30-plus new
blue recycling bins.! You learned how to home
compost from a URI Master Com-poster.
! You took advantage of the 200pound cost-free DPW AmnestyDay to drop off a lot of “stuff” thatwas collecting dust in your base-ments and garages.
The Bristol Recycles Committeeleft the Transfer Station excited andcommitted to partnering with Bris-
tol’s DPW to repeat this collabora-tion every spring and fall going for-ward!

The Bristol waterfront andwaterways area substantialpart of how wedefine thebeauty of Bris-tol. Our docksand mooringsgive access toand for theboating andfishing com-
munity. These docks and moor-ings also generate revenue forBristol. Given the continuedchanges in weather patterns, the
chances of damaging storms is ofsignificant concern to me. If wewere to lose Town docks from astorm, it would mean loss ofaccess to boaters and fisherman(including interrupting liveli-hoods), serious loss of revenues,and the total cost of repairs orreplacements of docks andmoorings. These loses are notcovered under the Towns insur-ance. The answer to this impor-tant question is to create a capi-tol or rainy day fund to plan forfuture potential loses. Thisfund, along with dollars for
ongoing needed repairs, can berealized from a review of our cur-rent dock and mooring fees. Wewill be taking the next steps toincrease Town dock spacebehind Robin Rug. The solutionsproposed will allow for increasedrevenues, more waterfrontaccess, and planned protectionfrom future storm events whilenot burdening property taxes.
We must take action beforeMother Nature does.

Bristol citizens and visitorsagree that Bristol’s waterfront is
fabulous! Tra-dition has beenblended withimprovementsexceeding therecommenda-tions of earlyconsultants. Prime is beau-tiful Indepen-dence Park,
replacing a derelict broken trainyard. Moving south, the old millshave been transformed intoStone Harbor, a classy condocomplex retaining the character
of iconic buildings. The DeWolfwarehouses for 17th and 18thcenturies shipping trade, that didmuch to finance the better clas-sic structures of our town, havebeen cleverly transformed intothriving hotel and restaurantfacilities. In addition to revamp-ing the State Street Pier, the townrecently acquired the Azevidoproperty adjacent to the longstanding fire station. Next isanother newly designed andconstructed Rockwell Park.Recently, Bristol purchased thePrudence Ferry pier and rents itto new ferry management. Theother large mill complex awaits
conversion, perhaps soon. Con-tinuing southward, the CoastGuard Station, condo renovatedbuildings, Herreshoff MarineMuseum and new Walley Parkare assets for our citizens, youngand old.
The Town Council, TownAdministrator, Harbor Commis-sion, Harbormaster, fishingmembers and pleasure boatersneed to cooperate toward moreand better marinas and furtherimprovements of this best RhodeIsland harbor front.

As a young boy being raised by asingle mom in as e m i - u r b a narea ofCranston, thebest chance Ihad to get outof the city andinto nature wasCamp Yawgoog.As a young BoyScout I didn’tunderstand all
the forces that had to align to pro-vide me with that sort of opportu-
nity, but I knew that I loved thosesummers. Over the years I cameto realize that a long view of con-servation had been taken by gen-erations of civic leaders and con-servationists who had set asidethousands of acres of forests forthe betterment of our state. Thevison, commitment, and invest-ment of those strangers hadunquestionably made my life bet-ter. For almost a decade I’veserved proudly on the board of theRhode Island Chapter of NatureConservancy, and I view ongoing
conservation efforts as critical topreserving the character of ourstate, assuring clean, cool, andsafe drinking water, and makingsure that every child has theopportunity to get out into nature.If elected to the State Senate Iwould continue that advocacy,and do my part to assure thatfuture generations are given thesame beautiful opportunity thatwas afforded me.

Environmental Protection Matters
Town council duties are wideand extensive –i n c l u d i n ge v e r y t h i n gfrom budget-b a l a n c i n g ,k e e p i n gschools proper-ly funded, fos-tering a pro-business envi-ronment, anda d d r e s s i n g
infrastructural concerns.But one role often overlooked:
conveying the needs of our townto the state and holding themaccountable when fiscal decisions
go against local interests.Specifically, this includes advo-
cating against cuts in state-aid aswell as the burden of unfundedstate mandates.
Firstly, state-aid has been cutdramatically in recent state bud-gets. Specifically, a report by theRhode Island Public ExpenditureCouncil shows state-aid has beencut over $155 million since 2008.
This speaks to my second point– the fiscal burden of unfundedstate mandates.
From bus monitors to infra-structural repair, these mandatesare passed down from the stateand incurred by our municipal
budget.But with municipal aid being
cut, and the state continuing tostruggle financially, there needs tobe a balance between what thestate wants and what we as a towncan afford.
As a Town Councilor, I will con-vey Bristol’s needs and interestsnot only to our delegation in theGeneral Assembly, but to theSpeaker of the House, Senate Pres-ident, and Governor to ensure fis-cal quick-fixes don’t occur againstBristol’s interests.

As we consider economicdevelopmentproposals criti-cal to RhodeIsland’s recov-ery, we mustnever fail topreserve of ourstate’s naturalresources. Pre-serving thoseresources is
our obligation to generations tocome and is completely consis-tent with economic develop-
ment.As a new member of the Bar-
rington Town Council, I experi-enced the need to balance envi-ronmental concerns and devel-opment when a controversialnew pavilion was proposed forBarrington Beach. After muchdiscussion with those whofavored and opposed the propos-al, we approved a plan, butincluded a number of environ-mentally friendly requirements.The pavilion was built, and thebeach has never been busier. I
learned that we can developresponsibly.
One of our state’s leadingindustries is tourism. If our nat-ural resources are not protected,that industry is in jeopardy.
The East Bay has tremendousnatural resources. Bristol Harborhas long been an economicengine for Bristol, and thanks togroups like Save Bristol Harbor, itwill be environmentally protect-ed. Additionally, part of thedevelopment of the East Provi-dence waterfront will be theclean-up of derelict barges thathave long hindered recreationaluse of those waters.
Protecting our environmentmakes good economic sense.

In recent years, state aid to citiesand towns has been drastically
reduced toavoid taxincreases at thestate level. Bris-tol, like all oth-er cities andtowns, has hadto absorb thatdecrease in rev-enue from thestate. At the
same time, we are faced withincreased costs for energy andother economy related budgetincreases.
With the state school fundingformula enacted in 2010 - our $8Mannual school regionalizationbonus is being phased out at therate of $800,000 per year until it isgone. In fiscal year 2020 we willreceive $8M less in state educa-tion aid than we received in 2010.We must properly fund ourschools to ensure a quality educa-tion including arts, music andsports programs for our children.We must continue to adequatelyfund our various departments toensure the continuation of ourquality services (i.e. public safety,trash and snow removal, road
maintenance, lawn, plant and treecare, etc.)
Next year’s budget is going to bedifficult. Our Town Council needsto be vigilant, looking for savingswhere sensible, and implementingcost saving measures (i.e. increaserecycling/reduce trash, change tomunicipal LED lighting.) We havedone a good job of maintaining fis-cal health – but the challenge thatlies ahead will be difficult. I amconfident that with hard work andcollaboration we will be successful!

Incumbent takes onnewcomer and formermember for single seat
The Warren Town Council racemay be getting most of the atten-tion, but three Warren residentswith strong ideas about what’sright and wrong with localschools are going after one openseat on the Bristol WarrenRegional School Committee.
Incumbent Susan Rancourt,who won herseat on thenon-partisanc o m m i t t e efour years ago,is running forr e - e l e c t i o nagainst hope-fuls Paul Brule,a former com-mittee mem-ber, and new-
comer Erin Schofield. Both Ms.Rancourt and Ms. Schofield havechildren in the district; Mr.Brule’s children have finishedschool, and he served a total of10 years on the board in the1980s and 1990s.
School finances have been abig issue here for several years,and all three candidates believethey have solutions to the educa-tion funding problems facingBristol Warren:
“I’m bottom-line oriented, butyou can’t cut your way to a goodeducation,” said Ms. Rancourt.
“The main thing we need is anopen line of communicationfrom the school committee totaxpayers and parents,” addedMs. Schofield. “I want to be thatconduit.”
“We just can’t afford it to keepgoing the way we’re going,” Mr.Brule said. “I’m the kind of guywho tells it like it is. That’s whatwe need.”
Though she believes sheaccomplished a lot — amongthem, changes to teachers’ pen-sion and health plan coverageand deductibles — Ms. Rancourt,the committee’s current treasur-er, said she almost didn’t run forre-election. That changed whenshe heard that Mr. Brule wasgoing to run for her seat; she nar-rowly beat him out for her spot in2010.
“I did feel the need to runagainst him,” she said.
Over the past four years, Ms.Rancourt said she has seen therelationship between the townsof Warren and Bristol erode overthe question of school funding. ARhode Island Superior Courtjudge is currently reviewingwhether the state’s aid formulahas been applied properly inBristol Warren. Warren TownCouncil members don’t believe ithas, and if they prevail in courtWarren could receive greaterstate funding, and Bristol less, inthe coming years.
As the budgetary problems
have grown in recent years, shesaid, so too has the tension.
“For me, I want to find an equi-table solutionfor this,” shesaid. “We can-not continuegoing to theseJoint FinanceC o m m i t t e emeetings andhave them beso acrimo-nious.”“We need toget beyond this
and work together. There aregood things happening, but somuch of the focus is on the nega-tive.”
Mr. Brule said the problem isn’tdivision, but a lack of communi-cation. He said the people he’s
spoken to inrecent monthsdon’t feel likethey have avoice on thecommittee.Though hesaid he wouldonly be onevote out ofnine, hisobjective will
be to “open” up the school com-mittee and bring the public backin.
“All three school committeemembers from Warren, not a oneof them came out and said oneword” about the inequity of War-ren’s school funding duringFinancial Town Meeting, andearlier, he said.
“I’m only one vote in a 6-3board, but people want to knowwhat’s going on and I’ll tell them.I’m not against the schools; butwe have to give the best educa-tion that we can afford.”
“I’ve lived my whole life here;this upsets me.”
Ms. Schofield said that whileshe isn’t a Warren native, she andher husband Asher care deeplyabout the town and the schoolsystem, which is currently edu-cating two of their three children,Flavia, 9, and Hazel, 6. DaughterSofenne, 2, is still a few years out.
A former education reporterwith the Providence Business,she also worked for Rhode IslandMonthly before opening Frogand Toad, a successful gift shopin Providence. Now that the busi-ness is established and has astaff, she said she wants to take amore active role in the schools,though she has volunteered atHugh Cole School for the pastfive years and is a member of theParent Advisory Board.
She believes one of Warren’sbiggest needs on the committeeis better communication notonly with parents and the gener-al public, but between the twotowns.
“I feel that Warren needs astrong voice for Warren on thatcommittee,” she said. “I feel likea new voice and a fresh perspec-tive and new eyes would benefitthe school committee. I’m hop-ing I can be a person who cantalk just as easily with membersfrom Warren and members fromBristol.”
As for the financial bind inwhich Warren finds itself, “I thinkwe need to come up with somecreative budgeting. As much as Iwould like to vote ‘Yes’ to any-thing school funding-related,maybe we need to go back andreally go through the budget witha fine toothed comb. I feel like Ican offer something different inthat I’m a taxpayer, I’m a parent,I’m passionate and I’m out therein the community.
All three candidates say theyplan to ramp up their campaign-ing in the coming weeks.

In an effort to make fire preven-tion a top priority in everyone’shome, volunteers from the BristolFire Department will host an openhouse for Bristol residents onSunday, Oct. 12.
Each year, the Bristol FireDepartment, like departmentsacross the state, respond tonumerous calls for smoke and fireemergencies, as well as accidentalfalls, many of which are pre-ventable. The event, capping offNational Fire Prevention Week“goes beyond the smoke and firecalls,” said Bristol Fire Chief BobMartin
“We want people to be safe intheir own homes,” he said.
The event will be held at the FireDepartment headquarters onAnnawamscutt Road, and willtake place between 10 a.m. and 2p.m. on Oct. 12.
“We’ll have an open house anddo some demonstrations with the
ladder (truck) and Engine One toshow how we move water,” ChiefMartin said, noting it is expectedto take place around 10:30 a.m.
At noon, the fire and rescueteams will demonstrate the use oftools used to remove a victimfrom a vehicle that was in an acci-dent. Saws, jaws of life and othertools will be used to cut up a car.
“Our rescue and a couple oftrucks will be open for peoplecome look at and see what we useon a daily basis,” Chief Martinsaid.
Other demonstrations willinclude smoke detector informa-tion to teach people where toplace detectors in their homes foroptimal effectiveness. The BristolPolice Department will set up itsMobile Command Unit for publicviewing, and members of the Citi-zens Emergency Response Team(CERT) will be on hand to recruitvolunteers interested in helpingout first responders in times of cri-sis.
He doesn’t want to jinx anything, butDavid Frerichs is thinking big.
The annual Southern New EnglandGiant Pumpkin Grower’s Annual Weigh-off is scheduled for this Saturday atFrerichs Farm, and Mr. Frerichs said he
has heard some good things about thepumpkins and squash that may show upfor the weigh-off:
“I’m really hoping for some big ones,”he said. “There’s nothing more impressivethan taking a picture of a ring of pump-kins the size of those Smart cars.”
Last year’s weigh-off was not one for therecord books, as growers were held backby a wet summer and brought in smallerthan average entries. But this year, Mr.
Frerichs said, at least four entries couldweigh in the 1,800-pound range — goodenough to challenge the state record of1,874 pounds.
“And there could be others,” he said.One in particular, grown by South Countyresident Joe Jutras, could even challengefor the world record of 2,223 pounds.
“He thinks he’s got a world recordsquash,” Mr. Frerichs said.
Mr. Frerichs said the dry summer has
allowed growers to tightly control theamount of water their vines receive, andthat’s made all the difference. “It’s easy toadd water, hard to take it away,” he said.
This year’s weigh-off runs all Saturday,Oct. 11, at Frerichs Farm. The pumpkinsstart arriving at 9 a.m., and there will be agiant pumpkin drop at 11:30 a.m. Theweigh-off itself starts at noon. Entry isfree, parking is $5, and the rain date isSunday, Oct. 12.

From 4-H Club activities to anold fashioned barn dance, visitorsto Mount Hope Farm Sunday hada chance to experience life on afarm at the annual Farm Fest.
The afternoon event on Oct. 5drew an unexpectedly large crowdthat came to enjoy lawn games,animals and music, or simplywalk through some of the 200-plus acres that make up the his-toric, waterfront farm.
“We want to showcase thewhole landscape of the farm,” saidJennifer Bristol, executive directorof Mount Hope Farm. “Farm Festlets us show all the activities youcan do on the farm.”
In past years, the event woulddraw 200-300 visitors. This year,Ms. Bristol estimated twice asmany people took part in theactivities.
Members of the Pokanowettribe displayed tools, drums andweapons to teach visitors aboutthe history of Chief Sachem Meta-comet and the Wampanoag tribe.
Elsewhere, members of theGreen Fields 4-H Club offered vis-itors an opportunity to pet someof the rabbits they raise and care
for at the farm. Re-enactment soldiers from the
2nd Rhode Island Regiment, Con-tinental Line walked through thefarm, explaining the historical sig-nificance of the colonial-era Armyand the weapons used to fightthose battles. Throughout the day,soldiers from the Bristol Train ofArtillery fired a cannon, sending athunderous boom through the air.
For those who didn’t want to
take the half-mile walk to CoveCabin, a wagon-pulling tractorprovided shuttle service to wherea food truck, band and other activ-ities awaited guests.
Inside the picturesque CoveCabin, visitors enjoyed an histori-cal photo perspective of Bristoland Mount Hope Farm. Outside, abluegrass band performed underthe tent, alongside members ofthe Rhode Island Spinners Guild.
The group, affiliated with theSlater Mill museum in Pawtucket,demonstrated the art of spinning,taking raw wool and spinning itonto spools as yarn.
Farm Fest is the kick-off eventfor the farm’s October Sundayseries, Ms. Bristol said. Each Sun-day, the farm invites visitors tolearn more about the farm’s histo-ry and significance to the commu-nity.
On Sunday, Oct. 12, from 8 to10:30 a.m., Audubon expert andnaturalist Ray Payson will lead awalk to observe nesting andmigrating birds as well as nativeshrubs and rare plants found onthe farm.
On Sunday, Oct. 19, from 2 to 4p.m., Dr. Kevin Jordan will lead adiscussion about the history,occupants and usage of MountHope Farm, exploring its pastthat led up to its present dayusage.
The final October Sunday seriesis scheduled for Oct. 26, from 2 to4 p.m., when Ms. Bristol leads awalking tour to King Philip’s Chair,the meeting place of theWampanoag Nation where battlestrategies were discussed, tribalcouncils were convened and spiri-tual gatherings took place.
Visitors to Mount Hope Farm,and particularly those interestedin visiting King Philip’s Chair, are“on an uptick,” Ms. Bristol said.Several students use the oppor-tunity to gather facts and infor-mation for projects relating tothe formation of America, partic-ularly as Thanksgiving Dayapproaches. While PlimouthPlantation in Massachusetts getsa lot of the credit for its role inthe first Thanksgiving, just as sig-nificant, but lesser known, is theWampanoag Tribe’s involvementoriginating in Bristol.

Since taking over servicebetween Bristol and PrudenceIsland on Sept. 15, A&R Marine— doing business as Prudence &Bay Islands Transport — has pro-vided service only to foot passen-gers aboard a smaller boat pur-chased from the former Pru-dence Island Ferry. Repairs to theramp at the Church Street Pier inBristol and to the 120-foot Her-bert C. Bonner ferry have beencompleted, according to Pat
Rossi at A&R Marine.Workers had to make signifi-
cant repairs to shore up the rampat the Church Street pier andbuild its pier on Prudence Islandbefore providing full service. TheBonner’s engine also neededrepairs.
A&R Marine took over servicefrom Prudence Island Ferry,which had been the sole providerof ferry service to the island sincethe mid-1980s. Bruce Medley,owner of Prudence Island Ferry,wanted to continue operating outof the Church Street pier he sold tothe town of Bristol last year. How-ever, the Bristol Town Council thissummer granted A&R Marine the
lease to run the exclusive service.A&R Marine provides four
round trips between Bristol andPrudence — between 5:45 a.m.and 6:45 p.m. — Monday throughFriday, adding an extra morningrun on Wednesdays and andevening run on Fridays. There arefour round trips on Saturdays andSundays, ranging from 7:30 a.m.to 6:45 p.m.

The Mt. Hope Huskies football teambroke free of its no-win doldrums, beatingWarwick Veterans High School on Friday,Oct. 2, 31-12.
Running back Aidan Silva scored twotouchdowns in the win, with a 45-yardpass completion in the first quarter, then a77-yard catch and carry in the second.
The Huskies 19-0 lead at the half washelped by a 4 yard run into the end zoneby running back, Corey Cordoso.
Quarterback Alex Francis completedhalf of his 14 passing attempts with onlyone interception, finding Silva, JacobRamos, Sam Forden and Tezhan Calhoun-Massey for a 240 yard gain.
Opening the second half drive, Silva ranfor a 26 yard kick-off return, to set theHuskies up on the Hurricanes’ 25 yardline.After driving the ball to the 5 yard line,Francis gave a hand-off to Sam Hollandswho carried it in for a touchdown, extend-ing the Huskies’ lead to 25-0. In the fourthquarter, a long Warwick Vets drive enabledthe Hurricanes to put their first six pointson the scoreboard, followed by a secondtouchdown drive, keeping their hopealive.
Then the Hurricanes’ onside kick gaveMt. Hope control at the 50 yard line. TheHuskies again drove down the field, fin-ishing the drive with a 12-yard run byMarcus Rodrigues, who scored the
Huskies’ final TD of the game.While theoffense worked to ensure the Huskies gotnumbers up on the board, Mt. Hope’sdefense applied pressure to the WarwickVeterans’ offense to prevent their drivestoward the goal line.
From the linebacker position, Hollandsled the defense in tackles with a total of13, six of those were unassisted.Defensiveend, Nathan Pimental, was credited witheight tackles, one being a sack, with juniorcaptain, Eric Moskala in on six.
With less than one minute left, WarwickVets worked their way to a second touch-down, but not enough to take away the 31-12 win by the Huskies.This was the firstwin for the young Huskies’ team this sea-son, giving them a 1-2 record in a toughDivision II-A. “We’re happy to have thiskind of outcome,” head coach, T.J. Del-Santo, said after the game. “It just cametogether.”
The two previous losses, one againstWoonsocket and the other against Shea,were “kind of a let down”, Mr. DelSantosaid.”We’re trying to concentrate andrefine ourselves as units, offense anddefense, and as individuals. We neededthis win,” he said.
Mt. Hope will play its next two gameaway against St. Ray’s on Friday, Oct. 10,then against Central High School on Oct.17. The Huskies will return for its Home-coming game on Oct. 24 when they faceRogers High School.

With two matches left this sea-son, the Mt. Hope girls’ tennisteam inched their way out of lastplace on Monday, Oct. 6, beatingExeter-West Greenwich in a 7-0shutout, the first win for theHuskies this season.
The struggling Huskies team is astark contrast to last year’s 14-0squad, but the record doesn’t illus-trate the underlying changes thatoccurred in a year’s time. Theteam lost eight of its seniors whograduated last year, forcing lessexperienced players into the topspots on the team. Led by under-classmen, the team is captainedby juniors Emma Camara,Rowanne Curren and CatherineMcGee.
McGee, who went from fourthsingles last year to first singles thisyear, then up from playing in Divi-sion III last year, to Division II, rec-ognizes the challenges the teamfaces this year, and considers it alla learning opportunity.
“This feels good,” said Ms.McGee, after winning her match6-4, 6-2. “The teams are morecompetitive. But (we) were closein most matches.”
“We knew this would be arebuilding year,” said head coachGeoff Keegan.
While focusing on skills devel-opment, he and assistant coachTim Thorpe are building a cohe-sive team, as well as strengthen-ing the skills in their players forthe years to come.
“We take the program serious-ly, but right now it’s a relaxedenvironment,” Mr. Thorpe said.
“The wins will come.”On Monday, the clinching
match came in a third singleswin when sophomore SarahHunt beat MacKenzie Walsh, 6-1,6-3, giving the Huskies their firstseason win.
Mt. Hope will travel to LincolnHigh School on Thursday wherethe team will face the 6-3 Lions.
The Mt. Hope girls’ volleyballteam was pushed from a three-way tie for first place in Division IINorth, into third place after suf-fering a 3-1 loss to sixth place Lin-coln High School on Thursday,Oct. 2.
After losing game one of thebest-of-five match, the LadyHuskies rallied back from the 25-16 loss, flipping the score in gametwo for a 25-16 win.
Senior captains Lexi Sisson andRhys Webb led defensively at net,with sophomore Alyssa McGreevyshowing strength at the serviceline.
After losing the crucial thirdgame 25-13, Mt. Hope needed thefourth game to remain alive, but acombination of Huskies’ fatigueand the Lions’ desire to win leftLincoln in control.
The Huskies took an early leadin the deciding match, with Lin-coln battling back 5-1 to tie thematch at six-all. Mt. Hope turnedup its game, expanding the lead to19-10, helped in part by a five-point run with Sisson at the ser-vice line and two kill shots byWebb at the net.
But after winning the serve, Lin-coln rallied back with a 15-pointrun to tie, then take over the leadat 24-20 before losing the serviceadvantage.
Webb’s service was returnedand she kept the ball in play with adig, but the return shot landed outof bounds, giving Lincoln thegame-winning point.
The Huskies hosted number-one Tolman (8-1) on Wednesday,Oct. 8, and will travel to NorthSmithfield on Friday in anattempt to improve their recordand vie for the top spot in the divi-sion.

Mt. Hope girls net shut-out tennis win
The Mt. Hope girlstennis team nettedits first win of theseason againstExeter-WestGreenwich Mon-day.
After dropping to second placein Division I East after tying withEast Greenwich on Thursday,Oct. 2, the Mt. Hope High Schoolgirls’ soccer team remains in sec-ond, even after Monday’sresounding 5-2 win over Exeter-West Greenwich.
Hannah Klein began the scor-ing attack just 10 minutes intothe game for an early 1-0 lead,followed by a second goal bootedin by Michaela Goglia three min-utes later. The Lady Huskies
came out aggressive, scoringtheir third goal within the first 15minutes of play when freshmanOlivia Medeiros gave Mt. Hope aquick 3-0 lead.
The Huskies have been relyingon some of the younger playerson the team to step into key roleson the field, with more experi-enced starters sidelined due toinjuries. Senior Sam Hogan,Olivia Cairrao and Medeiros con-sistently demonstrate an abilityto control the ball, forcing neces-sary turnovers that keep theHuskies on offense and getting
scoring opportunities.“We have to control the mid-
field. These girls are steppingup,” said head coach Kerri Fer-reira.
But midway through the firsthalf, the Huskies appeared to betiring, letting up a goal to Exeter-West Greenwich to end the firsthalf at 3-1. After remaining goal-less for much of the second half,the Scarlet Knights added a sec-ond goal with 11 minutesremaining in the game. TheHuskies rallied, however, addingtwo more goals, one by Kelsie
Mitchell and the second bysophomore forward Goglia, whoturned in two goals for the night.
Of the 18 shots on goal, Huskiesgoalkeeper Sam Eddy made 12saves, giving the Huskies a 5-2win.
“We’re working as a team, we’replaying as a team,” Ms. Ferreirasaid.
While the girls have playedstrong so far in their schedule, Ms.Ferreira sees room for improve-ment in transitioning to playing
one-on-one against their oppo-nents, as well as getting them torecognize when to take a shot ongoal, rather than trying to set upthe perfect shot.
The Lady Huskies’ 5-3-3 recordholds them in second place in thedivision, after Portsmouth’s 3-1win over East Greenwich put thePatriots in the top spot at 6-3-1.

Members of the East BayBaysiders, including EddyBeskid, Lisa Caton, Harry Emery,Lisa Lagasse, Carol Rodrigues,Frankie Simeab, and RobertStrickland wearing their purplejerseys, battled against the NorthKingstown team in the tourna-ment.
In goal for the Baysiders,Rodrigues took several hardshots from the North Kingstownstrikers, but managed to holdtheir scoring attempts thanks toa strong defense by Caton andLagasse.
Working from midfield, Emeryand Simeab led the offense, run-ning the length of the field andmaking several successful passesto teammate Beskid who workedthe North Kingstown players tomake steals and pass aroundtheir defense.
Midway through the game,Strickland was sidelined aftercolliding with a North Kingstownplayer. Kyle Marshall, a Baysideteammate was not on the fielddue to his training for theupcoming Special OlympicsWorld Games.

Lincoln School, an all-girls independentschool in Providence, recently launched
Girls Who Code Clubs inboth the Middle andUpper Schools this year.Girls Who Code, a non-profit organization work-ing to inspire, educate,and equip girls with thecomputing skills to pur-sue 21st century opportu-nities, partners with
schools and other community-based orga-
nizations across the country to offer com-puter science education and tech industryexposure to girls in grades 6 through 12.
Suzanne Fogarty, Lincoln’s new Head ofSchool, immediately set about getting theGirls Who Code Clubs underway at Lincoln,
feeling strongly that while “technologytouches every aspect of our lives, currentlywomen are grossly underrepresented incomputer science.” Only 12 percent of col-lege graduates majoring in computer sci-ence today are women, as compared to 37percent in the 1980s.
“We need to change that,” Fogarty says. “The problem is,” said Reshma Saujani,
Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code,“when it comes to science, technology,engineering, and math….the girls aren’tshowing up.” She’s committed herself to
doing something about it; and in partner-ing up with Girls Who Code, so has Lincoln.
“There’s more at stake than just teachinggirls to program. It’s also about correctingan imbalance in the world of technologyand adding the perspective of youngwomen to the mix,” says Doug Alexander,Director of Technology and clubs instruc-tor. “They think about different problemsand approach them in different ways, but ifthey don’t learn these high-tech skills they

In 2009, three Friends Academy eighthgrade students had an idea. They wanted totake the school “green” by installing solarpanels as part of an independent servicelearning project. Friends Academy, anindependent school in North Dartmouth,provides students with service opportuni-ties that help them develop civic aware-ness, social responsibility, and encouragesthem to become productive members oftheir communities through volunteering.
The boys designed an independent studyproject that they hoped would eventuallybring solar energy to the school’s TuckerRoad campus.
“There was not an adult in the buildingwho believed this could happen,” MiddleSchool science teacher Mary Pierce hasbeen quoted as saying. She knew that theexpense of solar panels was somethingschools just didn’t have the money to investin.
But as Matt Walker ‘10, Colin Babbitt ‘10,and Ben Wiegandt ‘10 dug into theresearch, they discovered that the schoolcould make the project attractive for a part-ner to buy and install the panels, obtainingvaluable tax credits. They researched ven-dors, found optimum campus locations,and made presentations to the board oftrustees.
Then they graduated. And over the inter-vening years, potential partners came andwent. What could have easily faded into thewoodwork was kept alive by the shareddream and dedication of their teacher,Mary Pierce.
Now, thanks to finding a partner in MyGeneration Energy, Friends Academy hasmade the switch to solar power. Luke Hin-kle, a former high school science teacherand founder of My Generation, found local

investors to pay for the school’s panels inexchange for tax credit. Friends Academyalso receives an 18 percent discount for theenergy generated by solar power.
After seven years, Friends can buy thesolar panels back from the investors atwhich point the energy discount will expirebecause the school will own the installa-tion.
Head of School Stephen Barker notes thatbeyond saving the school money, “the pro-ject sets a great example about the impor-tance of living sustainably and doing ourpart to reduce the school’s carbon footprint.”
Barker also says that monitoring of the solarpanels will offer all kinds of applications inthe classroom. Students will be able to mon-itor the output and efficiency of the solarpanels and science teacher, Mary Pierce saysthat the curriculum possibilities related tothe project are important and limitless.
Last spring, the school marked the occa-sion by gathering on the field by the solarinstallation and watching as Mary Piercepresented the boys with sunglasses. Shethen had them flip a ceremonial switch tosignify the changeover to solar power. At theconclusion of ceremonies, students formeda giant sun and were photographed fromabove by a small, remote-controlled planeoutfitted with a Go-Pro camera.

With Newport one of the stopovers ofthe 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race due tostart off Alicante, Spain, this week, theorganizers of Volvo Ocean Race Newporthave created a classroom curriculum tobring the race home to local students.Focusing on geography and culture,marine science, math, and sustainability,lessons cut across all academic disci-plines.
Bristol resident Meris Enright has beenworking closely with Volvo Ocean RaceNewport developing parts of the mappingand geography curriculum.
A 5th grade teacher at Friends Academyin North Dartmouth, Enright is the wife ofCharlie Enright, skipper of team Alvimed-ica. Enright and his crew just won the firstAlicante In-port race. The race doesn’tcount toward the official result, but serves
as a great confidence builder for theyoung team.
Back on land, Meris Enright is taking asabbatical year so she can catch up withher husband at as many of the race’sstopovers as possible, including (in addi-tion to Newport and the start in Alicante)Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, China, Auckland,Brazil, Lisbon, France, and Sweden.
Meanwhile, her students at FriendsAcademy will be learning about boatdesign, latitude and longitude, speed, cur-rents, scale, mapping, and environmentalscience — and enjoying the reflected gloryof one degree of separation from one ofthe race’s key players.
Information about the race-related cur-riculum is available to anyone, accessibleunder the education tab at the websitevolvooceanracenewport.com.

Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion, 11 percent of children had an ADHDdiagnosis in 2011, up from 7.8 percent in2003. More than half of those diagnosedwere taking some sort of ADHD medica-tion, such as Adderall and Ritalin.
With such large numbers of childrenusing drugs to treat their ADHD symp-toms, researchers (and parents) are look-ing into alternatives, and there is one rem-edy in particular that is showing demon-strated effectiveness: exercise.
Structured, pre-learning exercise isalready in place at one local school, andit’s paying dividends.
“Move to Learn” is a 15-30 minutemovement program, run by occupationaltherapists at the Wolf School in East Prov-idence.
According to Lise Faulise, a researchcoordinator at Wolf, movement thatinvolves heavy work, like climbing, or tug-of-war, works directly on a child’s neuro-logical physiology, simultaneously calm-ing, yet stimulating, in a way that increas-es alertness and a child’s ability to focus.
The effects are lasting, too: as long astwo hours from a 15-minute movementbreak. “Exercise acts as a natural pharma-cy, affecting endorphins, dopamine, andseratonin,” Faulise says. “Students are notonly better-regulated in the classroom,they sleep and eat better as well.”
Exercise breaks also reduce stress,which in turn improves working memoryand language acquisition.
Kelly McDonald, The occupational ther-apy supervisor at Wolf, acknowledges that
establishing a formalized movement pro-gram is easier in a school like Wolf, wherespecial programs are a part of the schoolculture, and occupational and speechtherapists are integrated into the class-room. Wolf specializes in teaching stu-dents with different learning styles andchallenges, many of whom have sensoryprocessing and language impairment.
But that doesn’t mean exercise breakswould not be beneficial to students inmainstream classrooms — particularly asgoals and standards continue to cut timeallocated to physical education andrecess.
Wolf students graduate after grade 8,and despite the challenges many bring tothe school, programs like “Move to Learn”ensure that many of them are prepared tomove on to top independent and publicschools.
“Wolf works because of our model,”McDonald said. “we see miracles everyday.”

may never get the opportunity toshow how coding can help solvethose problems.”
Saujani reiterated Alexander’spoint in her talk to the Upper andMiddle Schools on September 23.“Our girls are tackling real prob-lems,” she said. “And we are usingtechnology to solve them andchange the world. We are literallybuilding a movement.”
Clearly it’s working. As SashaLandau ‘20 said, “we shoulddream big, work hard, and knowthat we can do anything we wantto and that no limits should be puton us because of our gender.”Lynn Villarica ‘18 added, “I didn’tthink I had the skill set to be acomputer programmer, but it’sjust like any other subject you
would learn in school, but better.You have to start by warming upto it, and eventually you may real-ize it’s your forte.” She continued,“It’s very fun to see everyone’s dis-belief when they hear I’m learningand passionate about computerprogramming,” since traditionallyit’s just “for boys.” When askedwhat she’d like to do with the skillsshe will gain from the Girls WhoCode Club, in the spirit of Lin-coln’s commitment to service, Vil-larica said “I’d definitely like tocreate something that makes adifference, something related tocultural awareness, world news,and civil rights issues.”
Alexander noted that at presentnearly 30 Lincoln students meeteach week for two hours afterschool, “learning loops, variables,algorithms, and how to weavethem together into programs.”

Bristol’s Charlie Enrightand the young crew ofAlvimedica set off on
their race around the globe today(Thursday) as the Volvo OceanRace set off from Alicante, Spain.
This first leg takes the seven-boat fleet of 65-footers 6,487miles to Cape Town, SouthAfrica.
First though, skipper Enrightguided Alvimedica to victory inSaturday’s In-Port Race aroundAlicante’s harbor.
Racing in much tighter quar-ters than what’s to come, Enrightsaid he was happy to take a con-servative approach.
“Try to stay out of trouble, thatwas the aim. We didn’t have thegreatest start but we wanted togive ourselves options. The pinend was really favored and wejust tried to avoid the clump andgive ourselves a chance. We tookour times on the maneuvers,tried to keep it simple, and kepton chipping away.”
TV commentator Knut Frostad,Volvo Ocean Race CEO and for-mer skipper, observed, “The guyson Alvimedica have probablybeen the most consistent on therace course so far today, sailingthe boat really well. They’re justin their 20s or early 30s, butthey’re showing real potential fordoing well in the Volvo OceanRace.”
“Surprised that we’re able todo well?,” he replied during thepress conference to follow. “Notthat much. We’ve had some goodpractice, the guys have beenworking really hard on maneu-vers, and we’re happy with thewin. We haven’t done anythingthat counts for the overall trophyyet, but it’s a confidence builder,it gives us the feeling that we cando well again.
Saturday’s action featuredwarm sunshine, cheering crowdsand nice shower, dinner and drybed waiting back on shore.
What starts Thursday will beanother thing entirely, recallsEast Bay sailor Ken Read.
“You’re hot, you’re cold. You’rewet, you’re sweaty. You’re tiredand you’re hungry. You don’t get alot of sleep and conditions aren’tfun,” said Read, three-time com-petitor in the the Volvo and for-mer America’s Cup sailor. “Butyou still love it and it draws youback. That’s why you see so manyguys doing this race over andover again.”
The race that starts Thursdaywill eventually bring the boatshere with a Newport stopoverscheduled for May.
There are lots of ways to followthe fleet.

Cat takes Humphrey RaceIn 36 years of racing in memo-
ry of sailor Bud Humphrey, thefleet has weathered windlessdrifters and howling nor’easters.
This year delivered something“What a day Sunday (Sept. 28).
Eighty-five degrees and 12 knotsof breeze out of the south,” saidTom Scott of the BarringtonYacht Club. “Unbelievable for thelast Sunday in September.”
And Lincoln Mossop III, SkipMattos and crew of the Swan 42The Cat Came Back took fulladvantage of the summer-likeconditions.
Starting last in the 69-boatstaggered-start pursuit race — 1hour and 7 minutes after a pair ofSea Sprites — Mossop started toreel in the fleet as they beat downthe west side of Prudence Islandbut did best on the return run upthe island’s east side toward theOhio Ledge finish west of ColtState Park. At times the big boatkept speed up by maintaining abroad reach zig-zag.
“Our best point of sail wasgoing north near Sandy Pointwhere we had good boat speedand the current was in our favor,”Mossop told North Sails. “Ourcrew has been sailing togetherconsistently and we have beenworking hard on boat speed,which I think made the differ-ence. We have a lot of fun sailingtogether.” Although he’s entereda number of times before, thiswas his first win.
Taking second place was thesecond-to-last boat to start,Shearwater, a Sidney 36 sailed byChris Bjerregaard. And complet-ing the top three Bristol sweepwas the Herreshoff S BoatSquaw, sailed by the sons/fatherteam of Matt, Jock and LeeHayes.

Seems like everywhere youturn, someone else isgoing gluten free. Many
people say that they are avoidinggluten to behealthier. But inreality, there arevery few peoplewho actuallyneed to gogluten free forimprovedhealth.
Gluten is theprotein found in
wheat, rye, and barley. Peoplewith Celiac disease must avoidgluten for their entire livesbecause their body reacts nega-tively to this protein. There areother people who are glutenintolerant. This means they get
abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloat-ing, or constipation after eatinggluten because their body cannotprocess it correctly. Aside fromthese two situations, our bodiesare fully equipped to break downgluten without difficulty.
Some people say that avoidinggluten improves their migrainesor arthritis pains. This may bedue to decreased inflammationinside the body by decreasingintake of gluten. However, noteveryone finds symptom reliefwith a gluten free diet.
There is no scientific evidencethat shows avoiding gluten aidsin weight loss. In fact, manyproducts that are gluten freeactually have more calories thanthe regular version. And, lots ofgluten free foods are significantlymore expensive than regular ver-sions.
If you want to eat a healthierdiet while still eating gluten,focus on whole grains instead ofrefined grains. These includeoats, quinoa, barley, whole wheat,and brown rice. As always,including a variety of fruits, veg-etables, nuts, seeds, and lean pro-teins is the best base for a healthydiet.

Capt. Ray Stachelek ofEast Greenwich is anexpert fly fishing guide
and at this time of year he spe-cializes in taking anglers saltwa-
ter fishing forfalse albacore,bonito andstriped bass.Last week Capt.Stachelek fishedwith Bruce Rickof Marlborough,Conn. Brucehooked up withand landed oneof the largest
false albacores that Capt. Rayhas ever encountered. Here’swhat Capt. Ray related.
“October 1 was windy, withplenty of chop, certainly notperfect conditions for fly castingbut it makes for frequent anddynamic Fat Albert (false alba-core) attacks.
Bruce Rich fought this fish forover twenty minutes in a ripovercoming strong currents. Atfirst I thought he was being gen-erous on its long runs with a softsetting of the drag. Not the casehere after checking his drag set-ting shortly after the battle.
This false albacore continuedto make strong runs, it nevereven came close to the boat. Therest of us had lunch and atesandwiches while this epic bat-tle lingered on. We must havedrifted almost two miles withthis massive fish from where itwas first hooked. Never in myentire career have I ever seen orlanded an albie (false albacore)so big in Rhode Island waters.
The markings and shape seemto be quite different from allothers we have caught in RhodeIsland waters over the decades.The linear lines along the dorsal,color, and slimmer profile, notfootball shape are quite differentfrom all others. (Wondering if)this is possible due to its larger
size stretching out its dorsal pat-terns or perhaps there differentstrains of these fish I’m notaware of.
Rich had a banner day andlifetime experience he’ll neverforget. At this point we took afew pictures, got her in the wateras soon as possible to cause theleast amount of harm and stressafter this epic battle. She earnedher freedom. We never mea-sured or weighed the fish. Let arecord just swim away. She hadour respect and fond memoriesto cherish forever.”
Pete Nilsen lands first false albacore
Noted local fly fisherman andauthor Peter Nilsen of Barring-ton landed his first false alba-core this year. Peter is presidentof Rhody Fly Rodders. Here ishis account of a trip he tookwith Dave Pollack. “We were outwith Capt. Ray Stachelek a fewweeks ago. We fished along the‘walls’ at Pt. Judith. The fishingwas fast and furious in first partof the morning with me catchingmy first ever albie. I caught threealtogether along with threesmall bass. All with the fly rod.
One of the albies was about tenpounds and I thought he wasgoing to Block Island, he almostspooled me. Wow, they are fastand strong.”
Trigger fish could be infectedBob Quigley of North Scituate
e-mailed me Friday about graytriggerfish. Although tasty toeat, gray triggerfish could createciguatera, a food borne illness,in humans. According toWikipedia, reef fish such as trig-gerfish may have flesh contami-nated with toxins originally pro-duced by dinoflagellates such asGambierdiscus toxicus whichlive in tropical and subtropicalwaters. These dinoflagellatesadhere to coral, algae and sea-
weed where they are eaten byherbivorous fish who in turn areeaten by large carnivorous fish.The ciguatera illness can becaused by eating other reef fishtoo such as grouper, snapper,amberjacks, barracudas, trigger-fish and others.
Where’s the biteStriped bass fishing is still slow
at Block Island during the daywith somewhat of a night bite.Fishing is picking up for bass inthe Bay a bit. “School bass arebeing caught in the ProvidenceRiver.” said John Littlefield ofArchie’s Bait & Tackle, Riverside.“Smaller bass are around andkeepers are being caught in the
Bay but they are dispersed allover… around Halfway Rock,Hope Island and at Bear Point,Prudence Island.” said Ken Fer-rara of Ray’s Bait & Tackle, War-wick.
Tautog fishing is just startingto pick up. “A lot of shorts arebeing caught in the Bay.” saidLittlefield. Al Conti of Snug Har-bor Marine, South Kingstown,said, “Shore anglers have a bet-ter chance of catching keepertautog than boat angles at thispoint as the fish have not movedto deeper water yet. Last week acharter boat caught their limitfishing the wall inside the Har-bor of Refuge... and from shorethe rocks at Moonstone Beachand off the Ocean Mist inMatunuck are yielding fish.” Fer-rara said, “Everything is behinda couple of weeks. The water isstill fairly warm as it cools fish-ing is getting better. It is juststarting. We did weigh in a cou-ple of nine pound fish lastweek.” “The tautog bite is notstrong yet. Fish that are beingcaught from the bridges in War-ren and Barrington, from theWharf Tavern and AmericanTourister are mostly shorts. Butkeeper fish have been caught offNewport, Wickford, at FortAdams and Beavertail,Jamestown.” said Littlefield. Thisweekend Don Smith of WestWarwick fished with his wife andson at General Rock, NorthKingstown. John said, “My sonfell asleep, hooked up with atautog and the rod went over-board. When making ready toleave we noticed a fishing linecaught on the anchor line… thefishing rod was attached to theline and on the other end a fourplus pound tautog.”
Sea bass/scup/flounder are allbeing caught in the bay, at BlockIsland and along the southerncoastal shore. The scup bite isgood now at the Warren andBarrington bridges, in the bayand off southern coastal shores.“Scup fishing slowed down withthe bad weather but picked upagain this weekend at Colt StatePark at the Barrington and War-ren Bridges” said Littlefield. Theblack sea bass bite is still goodin the bay and off Pt. Judith.Some summer flounder at stillbeing caught by the Newportand Jamestown Bridges,” saidFerrara.
False albacore and bonito bitecontinues to be strong withshore and boat anglers bothlanding fish. “Shore anglers arehooking up with fish at theCharlestown Breachway and theWest Wall of the Harbor ofRefuge with boat anglers landingfish all along the southerncoastal shore.” said Conti.Reports have been coming inthat fish were off Newport aswell.

With the number of U.S. Alzheimer’spatients expected to climb to 13 millionover the next 35 years, the search is on tofind a reliable diagnostic test. Until veryrecently, there have only been clinicaltests that help detect fairly advancedcases, and current biological markers ofearly disease (proteins in spinal fluid, MRIscans of the brain, and brain PET amyloidimaging) are fairly inaccurate, invasive,and expensive. However, breakthroughresearch has revealed that a simple eyescan may uncover the earliest signs ofAlzheimer’s disease. By identifyingbuildups of proteins (beta-amyloid“plaques”) in the eye that are similar tothose that collect in the brains ofAlzheimer’s patients, doctors can detectthis most common form of dementia.
As today’s column suggests, a simple
eye test may aid in the early detection ofAlzheimer's disease even before memoryloss and other symptoms develop. Ourfacility is designed to provide total eyecare. We utilize state-of-the-art instru-mentation to ensure our patients’ visualwell being. Good vision and healthy eyesare your greatest assets throughout yourlife. We’re located at 24 BosworthStreet, Barrington Shopping Center,Barrington, where we strive to achieveexcellence in client satisfaction. Pleasecall 247-2015 to schedule an appoint-ment.
P.S. The eyes are essentially an exten-sion of the brain, which is why and howthe “plaques” associated with Alzheimer’sdisease may travel from the brain throughthe optic nerve to the eyes.

T he baseball playoffshave been a bit of asnooze — literally. Try
as a I might I cannot seem tostay awake forgames played infar away stadi-ums betweenteams I have lit-tle interest in.The Dodgers areprobably themost interest-ing to mebecause their
lineup is filled with former RedSox. I did have to feel a tingebadly for Detroit since theyfailed to beat the Orioles in theALDS (yes, the Orioles!) despitehaving the best pitching in theleague, great hitters and goodchances to win in every game.They just didn’t take advantageof their opportunities.
I am hoping that Rhode Islandvoters are paying a little moreattention to the “down ballot”races than I am to the baseballplayoffs. While some races couldbe snoozers, this is the once-every-four-years opportunity toelect the five people who runour state, so I am hopeful thatvoters will spend a few minutesto educate themselves on their
choices. While Rhode Island isone of the most heavily Democ-ratic states in the country, thefact that our general officers arenot elected the same year as thePresidential candidates meansthat less people vote.
These off-year elections maybe the reason why Rhode Islandhas only elected Republican (orthose who had at one pointbeen Republican) governorssince the first four year term waswon by Lincoln Almond in 1994,because conservative voterstend to show up to vote moreregularly. While each race has astory and some begin and endwith bad Democratic campaignsor fractured primaries, the truthis that this year could be a goodone for Republicans.
With the emphasis onwomen’s candidates, I thinkCatherine Taylor may be thebeneficiary of this Republicanripple (too small to be a wave)as she has run a very good cam-paign with a sharp focus onissues and bipartisanship.Catherine cut her political teethas a staffer to Senator JohnChafee in Washington and mostrecently worked for Governor
Opportunity awaits in off yearL et’s get this straight from
the beginning: BishopThomas Tobin has every
right — if not a responsibility —to criticize a Catholic whoespouses a position on contra-ception and/or abortion con-trary to the church’s teachings.
LaSalle Acade-my, a Catholichigh school inProvidence, alsohas the preroga-tive to removesomeone fromits Wall of Nota-bles, which itdid recentlywith gubernato-
rial candidate and alumnae,Gina Raimondo, whose pro-choice views are apparentlyanathema to the school’s princi-ples. What I take issue with, ofcourse, is the inherent sexismand lack of initial evenhanded-ness when the males whoespouse similar views were lefthanging on the wall. After a fewdays of befuddlement, Lasalleleaders finally got it right byhanging them out to dry.
Senator Jack Reed was a casein point. His views on reproduc-tive matters are contrary tochurch teachings, as is his sup-port of gay marriage. In lookingat the Notables list, I noted 3political operatives, Tad Devine,Mike Donilon and Terry
Donilon, who were high-rankingmembers of the Biden-Obamacampaigns. They essentiallyworked to elect leaders whowould keep the so-called repro-ductive freedoms intact. InCatholic theology this is theequivalent of being an aider andabettor, which is equally ver-boten.
I wonder just how serious thelist is anyway, since it is domi-nated by political purveyors andjocks. There was at least aPulitzer Prize winner on thewall, thank heavens, but theMother Theresas of the worldaren’t being held out as rolemodels to the student body. So,as silly as the whole idea is tome, nonetheless, I find it offen-sive that Gina had to go initiallywhile the men remained.
This double standard broughtme back to the days when I wascampaigning for Attorney Gen-eral. I was pro-choice, as wasClaudine Schneider and SusanFarmer. None of us were able tomarch in any Church proces-sions, while our male politicalcounterparts who shared thesame views were allowed, theirheads piously bowed and handsfolded. These pro-choice menwere Catholic while poor SusanFarmer, who wasn’t, was ostra-cized anyway for not subscrib-ing to a religious viewpoint of achurch that wasn’t even hers.
Misogynist attitudes reignedthen, and not much haschanged in the last 30 years.
LaSalle’s principal took onegiant step forward by takingdown the wall of notables, buthe is now poised to make anoth-er huge error by inducting for-mer Rhode Island Housing andMortgage Finance Corporation(RHMFC) executive directorRalph Pari into its Hall of Fame.As the Attorney General in themid-80’s, my grand jury investi-gated the corruption of thatagency under his watch. He wassent to the slammer for 14months for embezzlement andobstruction of justice. Theagency was a private “piggybank” for low interest loans tojudges, bank president’s parents,politicians, connected opera-tives and others of this ilk, all ofwhom raided the program formortgages. Because they signedpaperwork that they “thought”they might qualify for the loanand “thought” they’d live in thehouse (as opposed to flippingthe property in a sale) theycouldn’t be prosecuted. Mr. Parihad deleted the former provi-sion on the application thatmade it perjury to assert thesefalse claims. To induct him is asham.
How about getting it rightagain, LaSalle leaders!
LaSalle Academy almost gets it right

Martin’s Garden Notes
Prepare your garden for Winter
Give your lawn a great boost for the winter and a head start for the spring by fer-tilizing with a fall fertilizer. These fertilizers are especially formulated to encourag-ing a strong root system. They also have a timed release component so the fertilizeris still feeding into next spring.
If you have applied lime in some time it may be wise to test your soil to see howmuch you need to apply. You can stop by the store to pick up an order form to sendoff with your soil samples.
Spring flowering bulbs are always a great addition to the garden. Apply bulb foodwith them to help them come back stronger every year. Avoid using bone meal as itmay attract animals, especially skunks. One interesting fact our Dutch Bulb salesmanmentioned is that tulips like a high pH so a little dusting of lime when you plantthem will help a lot. Roses can be allowed to bloom into early winter and then onlycut back a little. Climbers should be just tied back to their supports. Further pruningcan be done in early April. I have had good sucess protecting roses with a cylinder oftar paper tied arround the plants with a couple of shovel fulls of compost piledaround the crown. Do this after we have had a good frost and the plants have losttheir leaves.
Q. I thought that maybe youcould help me uncover somefacts about this chair we are
restoring for acustomer. It’s abeauty and itappears from itsconstruction tobe about 100years old. Wewould love toshare someinteresting factsabout it with
our customer. A. This chair is what would be
referred to as a “salon chair” andit is closer to 175 years old. Amer-ican made in the mid 1800’s, thischair is in what would be referredto as “Empire” style. The“Empire”, “Regency”, or “Neoclas-sical” style originated in France inthe early 19th century. It is associ-ated with and named for France’sFirst Empire created by NapoleonBonaparte who also made him-self the first emperor. Napoleoncommissioned pieces of particu-lar grandeur using icons to asso-ciate his reign with the glory ofancient Rome and Egypt. Theseincluded clusters of arrows,winged beasts, and his signatureicons which included the bee, alaurel wreath, and grand eagles.Napoleon’s empress, Josephine,had her own signature icon – theswan. These pieces became pop-ular and the styles were oftencopied.
Furniture of this style is heavyand grand but it has lots of curvesand carving. The original Frenchpieces were primarily made frommahogany and fruitwoods. Amer-ican Empire pieces mostly have adark walnut or mahogany stainand many pieces are not solidwood but have wood veneer. Thischair has a carved swan head andlong neck for arms. The ball and
claw has with defined tendons,and scrolled carving leads to aneagle-like head.
Dark, heavy pieces are not verytrendy in today’s marketplace andthere is a large inventory ofAmerican Empire pieces to behad for bargain prices. I am surewith restoration this chair willmake a grand statement.

Vetting a romanticpartner can be toughwhen you’re already
committed
BY K RIS ROTO N DAIf you’re single and on the
market, you probably know atleast two things: Online dating isan efficient way to find a poten-tial partner, but dating sitesdon’t always guarantee a greatmatch.
According to the Pew ResearchCenter, 23 percent of peoplewho went on a date through amatch-making site say it result-ed in a long-term relationship.“Really, that’s not a bad successrate. I imagine it beats the clubscene,” says Kris Rotonda,founder and CEO of YouMust-LoveDogsDating.com, a websitedevoted to singles who’vealready found their canine com-panions, but have yet to findtrue human love.
“Still, that’s a lot of scrollingand dating before you find theright one. I think it’s importantto narrow the search by lettingusers start with what’s mostimportant to them.”
Rotonda, who has fourbeloved dogs including one he’shad since age 8, says his com-mitment to his furry familybecame a problem in his datinglife. He’s happy to report he hasnow found true love – she loveshis dogs and they love her back.
What should you do if yourdog doesn’t appear to like thenew love interest in your life?
! Your dog reacted negativelyto a girl or guy you really like.
Of course, how your dog reactsmatters if you love your dog, buthe or she may be picking up onsomething that’s nonessential tothe character of your date, whomay be nervous, not used todogs or simply wearing thewrong perfume or cologne thatday. While dogs are very intuitive– and, you want your caninecompanion to get along with apotential long-term partner –realize that the chemistry canimprove. Give it a little time andproactively look for ways to helpyour dog and your potential loveinterest relax and get to knoweach other.
! Different reactions canhave different meanings.
Did she bark for several min-utes? Did he run and hide under
the bed? If your dog barked inwhat sounded like a hostile oraggressive way, she’s likely justtrying to protect you. While youmay have had plenty of time toget to know your date over longdinners, he or she may still be astranger to your dog. If your dogran and hid, he may be afraid.That doesn’t necessarily meanthat his fear reflects a real threat– something rotten about yournew love interest. What else wasgoing on at the time? If a planewas flying overhead or thunderrumbling outside, that may havebeen the source of anxiety. Don’ttry to pet or sweet talk your petwhile he’s in hiding as that willencourage the behavior. Instead,reward him when he emerges.
! Mend fences between yourcanine and human companion.
When you are planning to re-introduce your dog to your date,start before they actually meetin person. This can be done byintroducing the person’s scentwith an unwashed article ofclothing. You can also add yourscent to the clothing by rubbingit on your arm and then placingin a spot where your dog spendsa great deal of time. This will
help your dog get used to theperson’s scent over time and youare not introducing the personto your dog by invading all hissenses at one time.
Kris Rotonda is the founder andCEO ofYouMustLoveDogsDating.com, awebsite devoted to singleswho’ve already found theircanine companions, but haveyet to find true human love.Rotonda, a competitive bodybuilder and successful realestate agent, had experienced anumber of unexpectedchallenges as a bachelor anddog owner and saw the need fora dating site geared toward like-minded dog lovers.

BY DR. LYNN ANNE EVANSDear Dr. Evans,Petunia has been an only cat
all her life. Due to a recent pro-motion (yay!), I’m gone fromhome a lot. I’m thinking ofadopting a kitty to keep hercompany. What do you think?Good idea, or, excuse the pun,catastrophe?
—The More the Merrier?
Dear More,Oh, my. You are about to rock
Petunia’s world. But maybe in agood way.
Unlike dogs, cats are not natu-rally pack animals. They toler-ate solitude very well; in fact, asingle cat can thrive with adegree of neglect that wouldbreak a dog’s heart (not that I’madvocating neglecting Petunia!And she probably wouldn’tstand for it, anyway). It’s beensaid that five minutes of interac-tion a day is all that a cat needsto be content. That’s setting thebar pretty low, but if commit-ments keep you from homemore than they used to, youdon’t need to feel guilty as longas you care for her basic needs(scoop that box daily, no matterhow busy you get) and give herlovin’ in the form she likes best— petting, playing, brushing —as often as you can.
All this is to say that I wouldn’tnecessarily add a feline com-panion for Petunia’s sake, but foryour own. From her point ofview, it’s a crapshoot. When youadd a new kitty, you couldpotentially be adding a wholenew layer of contentment to herlife. A younger cat or kitten canenliven an older, complacentcat, and it can be all to the good.
Lots of play, cuddling, purringand spooning could ensue. Socould, of course, lots of hissing,scratching, howling and chas-ing. Petunia might feel delight-ed; she might feel threatened.The good news is that most cats,even if less than thrilled witheach other, manage to tolerateeach other from a distance.
Some practical tips: first, besure to quarantine the new kittyfor three weeks, so you can besure he or she isn’t incubatingany illness that Petunia cancatch. Let them get used toeach other with a door betweenthem. That way, Petunia has achance to adjust to the soundsand scents of a newbie (ofcourse, while she’s adjusting,you’re spoiling the heck out ofher, right?). Supervise when youallow them to be together. Makesure there are plenty of nooksand crannies for hissed-off kit-ties to hide in when they’re notin the mood to interact. Be sureto be scrupulous about the lit-terboxes, because an annoyedcat will often make her displea-sure known by nailing the flooror your shoes. And by the way,you’ll need to pick up a fewmore litterboxes. It’s a good ruleof thumb that you should haveone more box than you havecats.
So if you’re ready for a newfriend, go for it. Just don’t do itfor Petunia.Dr. Lynn Anne Evans of theBarrington Veterinary Clinic hasbeen practicing veterinarymedicine for 26 years. Do youhave a pet question for Dr.Evans? Please [email protected],with “Dr. Evans” in the subjectline.

In 2006, approximately 4.1 mil-lion people went to the doctor’soffice for rotator cuff problems. Togive you some perspective, that’s 4injuries per year for every man,woman, and child in the entire stateof Rhode Island! Chances are, you’vemet someone who either has thisinjury or has received treatment inthe past.
The rotator cuff is comprised of 4small muscles which help move theshoulder and provide stability foryour upper arm bone. A rotator cuffinjury can vary from dull to sharppain, with associated arm weaknessand loss of daily function. This injuryis very common in overhead ath-letes, repetitive motions linked tooccupations (carpentry, painting), orin elderly patients using their arm tobreak a fall.
Rotator cuff tendonitis (RCT) isinflammation of the tendons thatattach the muscles to the humerus.The muscles occupy a small spacebetween the acromion process ofthe scapula and the head of thehumerus. Poor posture, repetitiveoverhead activities, overuse and dis-use can cause RCT. Impingementresults when the inflammationcauses the tendons and bursa to bepinched by the bones. Commonsymptoms are pain with overheadactivities, pain over the outside ofthe shoulder and upper arm and dif-ficulty sleeping.
Ice and rest are initiated todecrease the inflammation. Youmay also be instructed to avoidoverhead activities such as pitch-ing/throwing, swimming the crawlstroke, overhead weight lifting etc.Your physical therapist will perform
a thorough evaluation and establisha plan for your recovery. The plan ofcare will be based on goals you andyour therapist establish. The planmay include stretching, passiverange of motion, strengthening andmodalities, and a home exercise pro-gram. Research indicates ultra-sound, electrical stimulation or lasertherapy aid in the healing processand decrease pain.
Being discharged from physicaltherapy does not mean you nolonger need to exercise. It is impor-tant to continue with your individu-alized home exercise program tomaintain strength and ROM.
The tendons can also be torn. Apartial or full rupture can occur.This does not mean that surgery isnecessary. A complete tear will notrepair itself. However, strengthen-ing of the muscles in and around theshoulder can reduce symptoms andincrease range of motion negatingthe need for surgery. You shouldseek the advice of an orthopedistand a physical therapist to deter-mine the best course of action foryour recovery. There is recent evi-dence demonstrating that manypeople with a partial or full RTCtear can recover without surgery.
Here at McVay physical therapywe have successfully treatedpatients with full and partial rotatorcuff tears successfully.

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates,provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housingand Mortgage Finance Corporation.
