Mosaico CDC and the Bristol Garden Club join for a productive Community Service day


On a perfect morning last week - not too sunny and not too dark - Mosaico CDC in concert with the Bristol Garden Club organized a terrific community service Sense of Pride collaboration with the fourth grade students at Guiteras School right in their own back yard. Gary Watros, ex- president of the Bristol Garden Club and former NASA rocket scientist, gave the kids a 40 minute slide talk on the history of Mrs. Perry's Garden and the Bosworth Perry House, Bristol's oldest house, located opposite Sip 'n Dip. (Did you know that a 1960's Sunoco Station and a Cumberland Farms grocery store preceded the current garden?) Mr. Watros has been working patiently on this garden project for six years. The kids learned the difference between an annual and a perennial, how to plant seeds and how to prepare the soil for planting before taking trowels and shovels into their own hands. In addition, they planted two important trees; One that was started from seeds that have traveled around the moon called a "Moon Sycamore" and the other called a "George Washington Carver Green Ash" started from seeds picked from the green ash tree that grows on the plantation where George Washington Carver was born and raised. Mr. Watros mentioned a new gardening program for kids that is still in the planning stages with Blithewold and the Bristol Garden Club called the Junior Master Gardeners series for third, fourth and fifth graders. Go to www.jmgkids.us for more info. This project will begin as an after school program sometime in November 2009 and run in 6 week segments. For more info call Julie Murphy, the education director at Blithewold at 401 253 2707  x 16 (Thanks to Mosaico's Jenny Astrella and Samantha Faria for piecing together the precision scheduling of this event.)

Bristol Audubon to show free film on getting kids outside

From 1997 to 2003, children's time spent outdoors fell 50 percent. Children now spend 6 hours a day with electronic media and have almost no unstructured time. The Audubon Society of RI and the Providence Children's Museum are partnering to show a film discussing these facts. The film is called Where Do The Children Play and will be shown in Bristol at the Audubon Center at 1401 Hope Street on Thursday June 4 from 7 - 9 pm.
The film is a one-hour documentary made for public television that examines how restrictive patterns of sprawl, congestion, and endless suburban development across America are impacting children's mental and physical health and development.
Using the adage that children represent 20 percent of the world's population but 100 percent of its future, the film opens by examining differences between growing up today, with all its inherent obstacles and temptations, and childhood as it was lived 50 years ago.
The film viewing at Audubon is free.
The film can be purchased for $20 in DVD format by calling 1 800 343 4499 x154

Did you know that the Bristol Boat Show is a non profit organization?



The BRISTOL BOAT SHOW was formed in early January of 2000 by Bristol's Harbormaster, Cpt. Joseph Cabral, and other interested citizens. The purpose of the BRISTOL BOAT SHOW was to raise funds to assist various charities and organizations involving children.
This year it will be held once again at Independence Park on the Bristol waterfront on
Saturday June 6 from 10 am - 8 pm and
Sunday, June 7 from 10 am to 5 pm

Some of the contributions made from The Bristol Boat Show last year went to Mosaico Marine Trades School scholarships, St. Michael's Soup Kitchen, Kickemuit Middle School Young Mariners Program for boat building supplies, the Bristol County Elks Club for dog training for blind war veterans and medical alert buttons for housing for the elderly to just name a few.
Please try to attend this worthy event and lend them a hand and a few dollars.

The Story of Stuff


Some of you may find this NY Times article and video anti-capitalist and somewhat brutal and you may be correct, but it also has some truth to it. Which is probably the reason that The Story of Stuff, a 20 minute animated video about the effects of human consumption, has become a hit in classrooms across the nation.
The video was created by Annie Leonard in December 2007. Ms. Leonard is self-educated on where waste goes and worked for Greenpeace to prevent richer nations from dumping their trash in poorer ones. She produced the video, divided into 7 tidy animated sections, with the Free Range Studios company, and with money from numerous nonprofit groups. Please take a look and post a comment.

Bristol's Ballet Prestige: Annual Spring Performance on Saturday, May 30


Russian styled Ballet Prestige will be putting on a spring performance on Saturday, May 30 at 2 pm at the Barrington Public Library. The owners, directors and choreographers of this classical dance studio are top notch Russian ballet dancers turned teachers/choreographers with over 4o years of stage and teaching experience in Europe, Asia and USA. Vera not only teaches classical ballet, modern and jazz but custom makes each and every costume and knows exactly how to compliment the dance and the dancer with the correct fitting and moving outfit.  I saw the 1 1/2 hour performance last weekend at the Mount Hope High School auditorium and it was spectacular. There are 16 dancers within a broad age range, doing a hugely diverse group of creative, inventive, colorful dances. Don't miss this if you get a spare couple of hours on Saturday. Unfortunately for Bristol, Ballet Prestige is moving from Thames Street, Bristol to 211 Waseca Street in Barrington and plans to open there in August.  We wish them luck in Barrington. www.balletprestige.org    Telephone: 401 467 6698   Email:  vera.kur@cox.net

Silver Creek estuary becoming revitalized with salt and fresh water



Silver Creek salt marsh empties into Bristol harbor just south of Sip n Dip under a small bridge running under Route 114. It is getting a new lease on life thanks to the work of the Town of Bristol, Save The Bay, DEM, the NRCS and others. Wednesday, May 20, was the big dig day for clearing out a tidal restriction that has been suffocating the marsh for a long time. Excavation of years of fill will help open up tidal flow into the 13 acre salt march as well release more fresh water from the silver creek watershed to the harbor, especially after heavy rain. The result will be less flooding, more native birds and fish and less invasive phragmites for the residents of Bristol to enjoy. Watch this short educational 'you tube' link describing the project by Save the Bay with Wenley Ferguson (STB biologist) and Walter Burke (Director of Bristol Parks and Recreation).

Herreshoff Marine Museum needs help


We all know that Bristol is a beautiful and patriotic place. It should come as no surprise that the outside world is discovering this. In addition to being named a 2009 Distinctive Destination by the National Trust, it was just ranked number 9 by Peter Greenberg, travel editor of NBC's Today show, from among 25 top US cities and towns that best embrace American core values. In keeping with this theme, the Herreshoff Marine Museum is looking for a flag volunteer. Someone to put up and take down their large American flag every day for the summer. Do you know of anyone who would like to do this? Perhaps a veteran, a patriotic citizen or just someone who would enjoy it? The flag needs to be put up at 8 am and taken down sometime around sunset. Please give Terry Souto a call at the Herreshoff Marine Museum at 401 253 5000 or email her at t.souto@herreshoff.org if you can help or know of someone who can. The Herreshoff Marine Museum is also looking for a few good volunteers to help out in the gift shop, to be docents and to help out with the sailing school.

Proceeds benefit RISD Scholarship Fund

Every spring RISD’s Apparel Design students have an opportunity to drape, zipper and buckle their creations on to fabulous looking models who offer the perfect foil for showing the clothing to an admiring public. The runway show takes place at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Providence, a restored 1920s theater appropriate to the on-stage drama. For an enthusiastic audience of RISD people and community members it’s the first and best chance to get an up-close view of the fashion tastemakers and trendsetters of the future.

Work for each Collection is chosen by a panel of guest critics and represents specific assignments given to sophomores, juniors and seniors in Apparel Design. Seniors display their thesis projects — unified bodies of work that showcase professional-grade conceptual and technical skills; juniors focus on knitwear projects and coat collections; sophomore “innovatives” projects are created from nontraditional materials.

LNG Issues are not over

Below is this week's editorial in the Bristol Phoenix focusing on continuing LNG concerns for our area. A group from Save Bristol Harbor is meeting this week with some 'higher ups'. A report of those meetings will be forthcoming. LNG, if anything, is more of an issue now than it ever was. Please feel free to post a comment. We want to hear from you. Click on '0 comments' and type away. Thanks.

LNG scheme: New cause for concern

Preposterous as its plan to build an upper-bay LNG facility may sound, and overwhelming as local condemnation of the idea may be, don't ever count Weaver's Cove LNG out.

Declared dead in the water too many times too count, this proposal to import liquefied natural gas up a narrow passage aboard thousand-foot supertankers is adept at dismissing opposition, finding friends in high places and climbing back off the mat. It may be doing just that again.

Key to efforts at keeping these flammable cargoes out of crowded places has been the repeated conclusion of the Coast Guard that it is not equipped to assure public safety. It cited the bridges that must be cleared, the cramped channel from Prudence Island on north, and the proximity to populous places.

Given that Coast Guard resources are as limited as ever and the hazards every bit as real, logic suggests that the Coast Guard would view Weaver Cove's latest proposal every bit as dimly as it did in the past.

Except that there's reason to wonder what could be going on up there in Fall River behind closed doors. The Coast Guard has dutifully sent public notice announcing the time and place of meetings to discuss safety issues surrounding the LNG plan, but added that the public is not welcome. While it is listening to Weaver's Cove LNG and has called in some area fire and police chiefs, the Coast Guard will not hear from the many others who work, play and live near this channel, except in writing. There is no opportunity for the rest of us to challenge, or even know until later, what claims Weaver's Cove is making about these public waterways.

And the faces have changed. C.G. Capt. Roy Nash, who wrote the previous opinions, is gone; presiding now is his successor, C.G. Capt. Raymond Perry.

Whatever comes of this closed Coast Guard process, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission awaits. The same FERC, which blithely and without explanation declared that LNG safety and security issues 'could be overcome' and dismissed Coast Guard objections, still counts three Bush appointees among its membership.

This LNG scheme was bad to begin with and is worse now that Weaver's Cove LNG wants to park supertankers in Mt. Hope Bay and close the waters to everyone else.

All outside the hearing room door can only hope that the folly of this plan is as evident now as it was every time the Coast Guard studied it before..

The Sunnyside: Breakfast and lunch with a water view

The Sunnyside is a new restaurant in Warren and is open for business. They are in the location that Three Rivers use to occupy. They serve casual breakfast and lunch like breakfast pizzas, salads, burgers and seafood. Unlike Three Rivers, the chances of an hour long wait are slim, as the new restaurant will seat about fifty people, sharing the entire space with Tav-Vino, which will be open for dinner. In preparing for the new arrangement, Sunnyside owner Joe Simone and Tav-Vino owner Paul Bullock updated the kitchen, adding a wood-burning grill and a high tech griddle. It’s a much needed addition to the Warren dining scene, which has recently seen the closing of both India and Feast or Famine on Main Street. Happily, breakfast in Warren now comes with a view again. Visit the link below to read the menu.

RI to suspend greyhound racing in 2009


Hallelulia!
Twin River Gambling Parlor and Dog Track says it plans to suspend greyhound racing May 31 but the State Regulatory Commission argues it must stay open until August 8 to comply with the rule to run no fewer than 125 dog races for the year. (Twin River is obligated to hold at least 125 racing days as a condition for offering its video slot machines.) In any case, the dog track will be closing in 2009 for what it states as financial reasons. For more info on dog racing, greyhound adoption and to view a map of the ten states where it is still legal go to::http://www.grey2kusa.org/action/state.html

Oil Slick seen behind Stone Harbour


A sharp eyed dog walker reported an oil slick in the harbor approximately 40 yards long x 10' wide behind Stone Harbour Condos yesterday afternoon to the National Response Center. The oil appeared to be coming from an out flow storm drain running under the condo complex near the white mill. The EPA and the Coast Guard were immediately contacted who in turn contacted DEM. This morning DEM was at the site and beginning investigations. They said the oil was so thin that placing booms would not be effective. They also thought the slick would evaporate when the sun came out. Two years ago a similar oil slick appeared in the same area that was traced back to Andrews School. After heavy rain, the sump pump at Andrews School pumped oil (mixed with basement water) from the school's basement into the street. The oil traveled through the storm drain system directly into Bristol Harbor near the Stone Harbour Marina (there are several outfalls that empty under the boardwalk). DEM was informed of this this morning. Water that enters any of the Town's storm drains west of High Street, drains directly into Bristol Harbor.
To report an oil spill call the National Response Center at: 1-800-424-8802 or DEM at: 401 222 1360 and on weekends: 401 222 3070

Here is an update from DEM May 6, 2009:
"We tracked the oil odor back up the storm drain to the drain in front of the Andrews School. We were able to trace it back to the boiler room sump pump. We spoke to Mr. Simmons who is the Maintenance Director for the schools. We advised him that he should install some absorbent boom in the sump and in the drain in front of the school so as to remove the school as a possible source for the oil coming out into the harbor. He will do this as soon as he can find a source for the booms." (I've emailed DEM to ask the source of the oil. LG)

Second update from DEM May 7, 2009:
"The school is now on natural gas and the oil tank has been removed.
The oil contamination is residual from the original spill that happened
several years ago. The Department feels that it would not be cost
effective to have the school do anymore digging to complete the
remediation of the oil in the soil. Instead we suggested the placement
of absorbents in the storm drain system in the basement and at the front
of the school. This should take care of the oil coming out of the
contaminated area."

Newly restored Aquidneck Mill opens in Newport on May 14

On Thursday, May 14, the International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS), a non profit organization, will celebrate the opening of the newly restored 1831 Aquidneck Mill. Originally built for textile manufacturing, the Mill has been restored to house expansion space for IYRS, a maritime research library, the school's new Visitor Center, and lease space for twelve companies that have relocated businesses, jobs, and new economic activity to the Lower Thames Street neighborhood. The ceremony on May 14 begins at the school's campus at 11 am at 449 Thames Street. Ceremonies will be followed by an open house that runs until 2 pm. Newport Collaborative Architects served as architects of the project and construction was managed by Farrar & Associates. The Aquidneck Mill is one of only two surviving mills in Newport.

This is a good example of a mill project that Bristolians can eye for possible comparable ideas for Robin Rug. Much of the relocating businesses are marine related trades. For more info or directions call IYRS at 401 848 5777 or visit www.iyrs.org

IYRS has a new Marine Systems program taught in Bristol at 253 Franklin Street in Andy Tyska's marine complex. These programs are year round and focus on marine technology systems and specialties. See page one of the April 29 - May 1, 2009 East Bay Life section of the Bristol Phoenix newspaper. Also see a related article in the April 30, 2009 Phoenix on page 9 titled: Mosaico offers money for Bristol residents to learn marine industry skills. Call Mosaico at 253 4627 for more info or drop by their office in the northeast corner of the Bristol Statehouse building or visit www.mosaicocdc.info
