Become a friend of Kenneth Cote Renewal Center on Facebook!

“Better than Brazilian!”I’m Kenneth Cote... a salon and spa owner for over 34 years. I’d like to talk to you about formaldehyde and the facts. Recently, it’s been discovered that some very popular Brazilian-style keratin treatments DO NOT comply with the recommended safe levels of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde at very high levels can be dangerous to your health. But at Kenneth Cote, you can breath easy… all of our keratin smoothing treatments comply with every law and recommendation set world-wide.

As a salon owner, I feel I have an obligation to provide a safe smoothing product, a safe workplace and a safe salon experience for you.

So the next time you’re choosing a smoothing treatment, make sure you get all the facts. At Kenneth Cote we guarantee our smoothing treatments are both safe anD effective. We can reduce your curl up to 50% and frizz up to 95% with results that will last you for 12-16 weeks. And as one of our clients recently said, our new keratin treatment gave her results that are, “Better than the Brazilian Blowout.”

Contributor

A freelance writer and monthly

contributor to SO Rhode Is-

land and our sister publications

Providence Monthly and The

Bay, Dawn Keable didn’t waste

any time diving into her chosen

literary field. As a teenager, she

spent two years as a student

consultant to Seventeen mag-

azine. Of her own impulse to

write, Dawn says, “I love the cre-

ativity and being able to con-

stantly learn about new things.”

Dawn now lives in Providence

with her husband Andre, but she

loves visiting the South County

as much as possible, especially

in the summer. “I love the fact

that mom and pop businesses

continue to thrive. It says a lot

about the people who are lucky

enough to call this area home,

and gives me a chance to buy

wine and ice cream in support

of the community.”

We’re roaring with excitement this month, because our fourth annual Pets Issue takes a slightly differ-ent approach from past editions. This year, instead of focusing on your average furry, loyal friends, we take a walk on the wild side. From a sanctuary in Hopkinton that houses exotic pets in need to ways to learn to take care of them yourself, this

issue can’t be tamed.Also, we get the first taste of a

new seaside restaurant in Galilee, stock up on coastal home essentials in Watch Hill and listen to al fresco music in North Kingstown. That, plus all of the festivals happening this month, means your schedule is full from now until Labor Day. Enjoy the rest of the summer. -Julie

From the Editor

Straight ShooterI heard about the release of your article about my photography (Art View, June 2011) from a friend via Facebook and quickly ran to a store to pick up a few copies. The article is amazing. Thank you very much. I’m very grateful. I will keep you posted on the REVEALED project and the book this fall.

So Happening | So & So

The saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But who would want to choose? Jessica Har-rington of re-studio doesn’t make you. She uses words and phrases and ar-ranges them into pictures of, for exam-ple, the Narragansett Towers. Words like “Bon Vue,” “Iggy’s” and “seashells” are aligned to form a fresh look at the Towers and sea wall you’ve driven by 1000 times. These prints become in-teractive as you hunt for words, and they speak to the strong connections we have to certain places. Everyone experiences each piece in their own way, with their own memories because word associations are different for each person. When you look at Har-rington’s work it’s easy to see that she grew up in southern Rhode Island. Art-work of the Newport Bridge, boat an-

chors, starfish, Rhode Island itself and a skyline of Providence are in her rep-ertoire. Customizing is also available to commemorate a particular event, such as a wedding, or to add another level

of personalization to the print for a dollar a word. The full line of prints can be seen and purchased at www.etsy.com/shop/ReStudios. [email protected] –Rebekah Lindquist

DO GOOD

AgendaGiven the dip in the economy, vaca-tion time is an indulgence that few of us actually get to experience nowadays. However, the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce is bringing the vacation to you. On Saturday, August 20 from 6-11pm, the Chamber will present Tus-can “Night At” the Jamestown Com-munity Farm. This year’s “Night At” is the 10th annual fundraiser and will in-clude a silent and live auction to benefit the Jamestown Community Farm, a vol-unteer organization that grows and de-livers food for those in need in the sur-rounding area. The event encompasses many things that we might look for in a trip to the Italian peninsula: live music (by the Slippery Sneakers), complimen-tary beer and wine, and a Tuscan buffet. The event is 21 and over, so plan for a romantic evening without the kids. Be ready to dine and dance under the stars while experiencing a taste of Tuscany without breaking your budget. $65 per ticket. 231 East Shore Road, Jamestown. 744-2415, www.jamestownchamber.com -Nathaniel Fuller

Voted the “best gala fundraiser” in Newport Life magazine, the 8th An-

nual Bird Ball is back at the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Middletown on Au-gust 20. Held on the sanctuary lawn overlooking the Rhode Island Sound, the ball will feature an open bar, din-ner by Blackstone Catering, musical entertainment by DJ Butch and a si-lent auction. Guests are encouraged to get creative and dress according to this year’s theme, “Birds and Blokes: London Calling.” $125 per advance ticket; 846-2577, www.normanbird-sanctuary.org

Close out the month of August with two full days of art, music, food, games and more at the Newport Arts Festi-val, to be held at the Newport Yachting Center from August 27-28. Soul, blue-grass, rock n’ roll and jazz make up the live musical entertainment, while the artists’ gallery features both fine and functional art, ranging from paintings, photography and sculpture to jewelry, pottery and woodworking. For a real treat, head to the Food Café for deli-cious sandwiches and seafood, a raw bar, dessert crepes and homemade ice cream. The Newport Art Festival ben-efits Looking Upward, a Middletown-based nonprofit that supports people with disabilities. $8 per ticket. 847-0960, www.newportartsfestival.com.

VolunteerDrivers are needed to help Insight, a nonprofit agency dedicated to helping blind or otherwise visually-impaired Rhode Islanders by trans-porting one or two people to the Westerly Yacht Club for the agency’s 29th Annual Summer Outing. The Summer Outing, held on August 3, is a seasonal tradition that includes a barbecue and a chance to socialize by the water. All volunteers will be treated to lunch. Interested individu-als will need to contact the organi-zation by July 22. 941-3322, www.in-sight.org.

Smith & Agli’s Potbelly Manor, lo-cated in North Kingstown, is a unique animal rescue agency that primarily rescues and adopts out Vietnamese potbelly pigs. Volunteers are wel-come to use their skills in a variety of different ways, such as taking care of the animals, painting, light carpen-try work, fundraising and bringing in requested items. Items on the “wish list” include grain, cat and dog food, gift cards, hay, fruits and vegetables, and blankets. 295-4241, www.pott-bellymanor.org. -Meagan Gann

Southern Rhode Island’s beauty is impossible to encapsulate in 1000 pictures. Even still, the South Coun-ty Tourism Council is holding its 10th Annual South County Photo Contest to decide who can capture the most in just one shot. The top eight fin-ishers will prizes totaling $1000, so the incentive is both aesthetic and monetary. All four seasons are fair game for this photographic chal-lenge. The Council wishes to judge entries featuring the people and places of South County throughout the year. Waves crashing against the beaches of Narragansett, bliss-ful fields in Exeter, the University of Rhode Island’s historic halls – all of these can be inspiration for your photographic genius. Entries will be accepted through August 10. Show-ing the council your creative side will certainly pay off. www.south-countyri.com –Christopher Sionni

Local performing artists will seek to captivate audiences through exaggera-tion, vocalization and infiltration at the 2011 Wakefield Arts and Entertainment Festival. A four day extravaganza tak-ing place from August 11-14, the festival will feature a variety of theater groups, local bands, exciting events and food items. A potent performance of Red Herring by the Contemporary Theater Company will highlight the happenings in Saugatucket Park. Herring is a come-dic take on marriage, murder mystery and nuclear espionage set in 1952. All four days of the festival will host this hilarious show featuring Soviet Spies in a comedic light.

A musical performance by Santa Mamba will add spice to events such

as Riverfire at the mid-August fair. The festival will also see the painting of a mural by artists from the acclaimed Hera Gallery. If appetites need pleas-ing, delicious treats such as Brickley’s Ice Cream or sweet and salty Kettle Corn will be available. There will also be a 25-cent raffle, kayaking in the Saugatucket River, and a gift bag with free coupons. Those present will be able to vote in the Main Street Win-dow Display Contest, drawing people to local businesses who decorate their storefronts. The festival runs August 11-13, from 5pm to 10pm, with an ear-lier family day (Sunday, August 14) starting at 10am. Visit www.wakefield-festival.com for further details. –Chris-topher Sionni

The lively green color of the gem is the color of verdant vitality, of the leafy growth of spring and is associated with healing. Peridot is known as “The Gem of the Sun”

and Green Peridot’s direction leads toward the heavens, the path of the sun, which gives the light, allowing everything on earth to thrive. Even today, Peridot is viewed by some people as a stone that connects on to the “light,” which brings a renewed sense of the self and one’s purpose in life.

Peridot has been long considered to be an aid to friendship and supposedly frees the mind of envious thoughts. It is also supposed to protect the wearer from the evil eye. Other legends credit Peridot with bringing happiness and good cheer, attracting lovers, and strengthening the eyes.

Peridots do not have inclusions like other gemstones. This gives them a very “clean” appearance and especially suitable for setting into silver and 14k and 18 white and yellow gold. In fact, Peridot jewelry has such an expensive look that it has often been mistaken for high grade emerald jewelry in the past. In fact, Cleopatra’s renowned “emerald” collection is now thought to have been comprised of Peridot jewelry!

Ryan Bate’s Adventure Boot Camp for Women is coming to South County this summer. With a Bachelor of Science Degree in Community Health Educa-tion from Rhode Island College, as well as CPR and Personal Training certifica-tions, Bate is eager to help women of all ages and fitness levels. The Adventure Boot Camp itself is a four-week outdoor program of fitness instruction, nutrition-al counseling and motivational training. The program is geared towards helping busy women of all ages reach their fit-ness peak, while also giving them tips about living a healthy lifestyle. On aver-

age, participants lose between five and 12 pounds throughout the four-week camp. Bate stresses that the Adven-ture Boot Camp is not your stereotypi-cal militaristic style boot camp; rather it’s a friendly environment where par-ticipants are asked to perform to the best of their individual abilities without pushing themselves over the edge. The South County Adventure Boot Camp will meet Monday through Friday for one hour each day at the Narragansett Ocean Club. 91 Point Judith Road, Nar-ragansett. 864-8058, www.scbootcamp.com –Nathaniel Fuller

GET FIT

This One’s for the Ladies

When you’re planning an outdoor summer party, the first thing you think of is what food to serve. Eas-ily solved, perhaps with a gas grill. Then you think, where will everyone eat? What will they sit on? What will they be looking at? Soon thoughts about the last time you weeded your garden or even mowed the lawn pop into your head, and on top of every-thing else you are now unnecessarily stressed. Tuni Schartner of 3 Sisters Design & Consulting can ease your affliction leaving you to simply en-joy your company. Working with lo-cal nurseries like Blue Moon Farm of Wakefield and Andy’s Nursery of Warwick, Tuni and her crew come to

give your backyard a facelift. “When yards are out of control, that’s where we come in,” Tuni ex-plains. 3 Sisters goes beyond just damage control, however. For events like backyard parties, weddings and family reunions, she brings in live flowers and trees to decorate your space and energize your guests’ view. Next she brings tables and chairs and arranges them to best fit your newly renovated backyard. With a large number of contacts throughout southern Rhode Island, 3 Sisters can also serve as a middle-man, or party planner for your next event. [email protected] –Rebekah Lindquist

On August 24 at 11:30am, the Dunes Club in Narragansett will play host to the “Paws for a Cause” Fashion Show and Luncheon. The event’s menu fea-tures silent auction and raffle items, as well as a show featuring fashions from Mel & Me boutique of Garden City, modeled with some adorable canine friends. The event benefits the Animal Rescue League of Southern Rhode Island. The ARLSRI is a small animal shelter located in South Kings-town that services the nine towns of Washington County. Founded in 1938, the ARLSRI is a “limited admission” shelter, meaning that no animals are

euthanized in order to make room for other animals. On average, the shel-ter takes in 350-400 animals a year, which is a huge undertaking for an organization that relies exclusively on donations and fundraisers. Much like the shelter itself, the “Paws for a Cause” Fashion Show and Luncheon expects large crowds at the event, with over 225 attendees last year. So if you love any combination of fash-ion, food or animals, buy your ticket now before they sell out. Tickets $75 per person. 137 Boston Neck Road, Narragansett. 792-2233. www.arlsri.org. –Nathaniel Fuller

Tuesday has become the new Friday in North Kingstown. That’s because the Tuesday Summer Concert Series is about to begin its August run, thanks to the members of the North Kingstown Arts Council. Since 1983, the Council has been providing art programs and events to the residents of North Kingstown, and the free summer concert series has been one of their most popular offerings yet. Eschewing typical musical bound-

aries, the concert series includes a va-riety of genres: from calypso to swing, folk rock to jazz. The August line-up is set to feature the White Eyed Lizard Band on August 2, Avenue A on August 9 and Ten Rod Ramblers on August 16. You can check out this summer tradi-tion every Tuesday at the Water’s Edge (behind 55 Brown Street) in Wickford at 7pm, and it’s an all-ages show. www.nkartscouncil.org. –Devin Karambelas

The Reel ThingThe RI International Film Festival

celebrates 15 years of success

By Erin DeVito

What began as a small event at a time when independent film was just gaining traction in mainstream culture is now a prominent statewide festival luring thousands to the Ocean State for screenings and cultural programming. Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival (August 9-14) has seen impres-sive growth for over a decade. Last year, 205 films were screened from 53 countries, including 35 world premieres, proving that the event has become a worldwide draw. Now in its 15th year, the festival continues to provide a creative avenue for filmmakers and a cultural hub for our diverse state.

Out of over 7,000 film festivals world-wide, Flickers is only one of 65 (and the sole event in New England) that can nominate short films for Oscars. The prestigious event also offers film entrants the prospect of qualifying for several renowned film festivals world-wide. In its 15 years, the festival has premiered 21 short film Oscar nom-inees, six of which took home the award. This impressive record is what inspired this year’s slogan: “Road to the Oscars.” It’s the largest public film festival in New England, and ranked as one of the top 12 in the nation, accord-ing to Travel Smart Magazine.

Over 4,500 films of every genre were submitted for the 15th annual Flickers festival; between 175 and 200 films will be screened. Along with film premieres there will be filmmaking workshops, meet-and-greets, seminars and forums at which filmmakers are available for discussion. All of these additional events contribute to the mission of Flickers, the Newport Film/Video Society and Arts Collaborative under which the RIIFF was created in 1997.

George Marshall, founder and execu-tive director of the festival, established Flickers Arts Collaborative, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, in 1981 as the Newport Film Society, a film and arts institute focused on promoting work in Rhode Island and worldwide. The organization produces and presents programs that educate in the media arts, performances and cultural events, and films about the arts for television. “Our initial hope was to create an event that would introduce the idea of film as an art form to the Rhode Island and southern New England com-munities,” he explains. “We also wanted to create a platform for students and independent filmmakers to be able to

screen their work. Our slogan and mission at the start of the festival – and still going strong 15 years later – is ‘Discover the new voices of independent film.’”

The organization has created every-thing from a Japanese film festival in conjunction with the Black Ships Fes-tival in Newport, to Between Takes, informal meet-and-greets with industry leaders and filmmakers open to the public, to the Creative Impulse Awards, a national awards program honoring marketing and public relations person-nel, and the list goes on. Programs cre-ated by Flickers are offered to children’s hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and community youth organi-

zations. Flickers is also responsible for the KidsEye Summer Filmmaking Camp, a five-day workshop for young aspiring filmmakers held at the University of Rhode Island in July, and ScriptBiz, an all-day creative workshop for screen-writers (held this year in August). Each year more than 29,000 people attend events put on by Flickers in association with the International Film Festival.

Indeed, Rhode Island’s own little film festival has grown into a very big deal. What does that all mean for movie-goers, however? Here are some of the best bets for making the 15th year a big one.

Though screenings take place state-wide, including at the Jamestown Arts Center, one of the most exciting attrac-tions at this year’s festival takes place at 7pm on Wednesday, August 10 at The Vets in Providence: the world pre-miere of Family Band: The Cowsills Story, documenting the life and times of the influential family band from Newport that provided the inspiration for The Par-tridge Family. “The Rain, the Park, and Other Things,” “Indian Lake” and “Hair” were huge hits in the ‘60s, introduc-ing audiences to the catchy tunes and smooth harmonies of a musical family. After only five years of being at the top, siblings Bill, Bob, Paul, Barry, John and Susan, plus mom Barbara, suddenly split.

Most of the talented clan have stayed on the music scene: in the late ‘70s, they regrouped to record an album, and in the ‘90s Bob, Paul, John and Susan reunited to play small shows around the coun-try and record their first all-new album since 1971, Global. Enjoying their time playing together once again, Bob, Paul and Susan decided to hit the road as a group. Along with Susan’s husband Russ Broussard, Paul’s son Brendon, Bob’s son

Ryan, and friend and bass player Mary Lasseigne, The Cowsills continue to play shows across the country, from local pubs to large venues.

Louise Palanker, director and pro-ducer of Family Band and longtime fan of the Cowsills, approached the group about creating the film after watching Bob perform in a pub. After a seven-year journey of capturing footage (film-ing ceased for two years after the deaths of Barry and Bill), the documen-tary was finally finished. The remaining group members played an integral part in the filmmaking process from start to finish, and have seen a rough draft of the final product. Seeing their story made into a documentary was “kind of humbling. We’ve been doing this for-ever,” recalls Paul.

Though the group is excited to see their story finally be revealed in its entirety to the public, they are not completely sure how fans will react. “The film is factual; it doesn’t waver,” Paul explains. “It’s all the truth, which is nice, because there have been so many untruths in the past. People are going to see it and be somewhat surprised.”

The band is also excited that the film will debut in their home state. It is “sur-real” and “phenomenal,” raves Paul, add-ing, “That is home. That is where family is.” Palanker is sure that local festival-goers will recognize several landmarks in the film, as it is “deeply rooted to Rhode Island.” Following the film, the band will take part in an open panel and Q&A, after which they will perform some music. Though Paul and the band hope the audience enjoys the film, he’s com-pletely confident about the live perfor-mance: “It’s going to be the best show they’ve ever seen.”

Fans of HBO’s True Blood will want to see The Carrier, featuring several of the show’s stars, including Anna Paquin, Mariana Klaveno, Carrie Preston and

Deborah Ann Woll. This 18-minute short film details the story of a mourning mother who has just lost her son and discovers that he was HIV-positive. She embarks on a life-changing journey that leads to a deeper understanding of her son. As First Assistant Director on the incredibly successful HBO drama, Scot Schaeffer is sure to draw quite a crowd with his directorial debut.

True to the Flickers mission, this year’s Road to the Oscars also boasts spe-cial cultural events across the state. In honor of Anthony Quinn, the Mexican-American actor and Academy Award winner who lived out his latter years in Bristol, Rhode Island libraries will hold screenings of his films as a supplemental event to the festival. He passed away in 2001, but his dedication to the arts lives on through a scholarship program, The Anthony Quinn Foundation.

The film festival offers the com-munity something that major motion pictures do not: a genuine experi-ence and a greater appreciation for filmmaking talent that may not oth-erwise be recognized. Marshall and the entire staff have high hopes that the event will “continue to be a long-term voice for independent film.” He explains, “We believe that nurturing the careers of these young artists has importance and a critical value to our society and culture. It has never been our intent to copy anyone. We are not Sundance, Cannes or Toron-to; rather we have created our own identity in the past 15 years and have found our voice which is unique – and we believe rather significant.”

Flickers: Rhode Island Internation-al Film Festival “Road to the Oscars” will take place August 9-14 at various locations around the state. Visit www.film-festival.org for more information, including volunteer opportunities, and a full festival schedule.

A sociable, intelligent and beauti-ful creature, the parrot is commonly known for its distinctive, colorful feathers, curved bill and comical abil-ity to imitate human speech. What is often overlooked is the tropical bird’s troublesome history of captiv-ity, extinction, pet trade, and sadly, euthanasia. Because of the incred-ible amount of attention and care required by the clever species, and their long life expectancy, many are left neglected and confined. We of-ten forget what parrots actually are: exotic, wild animals in need of a safe, open environment. Fortunately, there are organizations like Foster Parrots to remind us.

The nonprofit Foster Parrots, Ltd., devoted to the rescue and sanctuary of parrots and other displaced exotic animals, originated in the Rockland, Massachusetts home of founder and CEO Marc Johnson. A former potter and art teacher, Johnson bought his first parrot in the early ‘80s, and coin-cidentally rescued a neglected parrot the same day. The unbreakable bond Johnson formed with the two birds eventually led him to begin Foster Parrots, and he has since spoken na-tionwide about parrot conservation efforts and the importance of ending what he calls the captive parrot crisis.

Karen Windsor, Johnson’s wife, joined him around the time the orga-nization officially became a nonprofit (1999), and, as Johnson enthuses, “became the driving force. She made it what it is today.” Though parrots are the archetype of winged com-panions, Johnson and Windsor firmly advocate parrots as wild species, and seek to improve standards of care for the domestically kept birds.

Four years ago, Foster Parrots founded the New England Exotic

Wildlife Sanctuary (NEEWS) in Hope Valley, providing a permanent home to unadoptable parrots (and other exotics) on over 15 acres of land. Jane Goodall, distinguished anthropolo-gist and advocate for the conserva-tion of wild animals, was on hand to cut the ribbon. Once known as Chick-adee Farms, home of tortured and slaughtered chickens, the sanctuary now provides the opposite: a safe-haven for animals who may have once suffered similar fates, to heal and live peacefully.

“The initial goal of the NEEWS was to put parrots in the proper category as exotic wildlife, rather than domes-ticated animals. A parrot has more similarities to a tiger than it does to a dog or cat,” Johnson says. Cur-rent exotic residents, aside from over 550 parrots, include sulcata tortoises and aquatic turtles, a family of Afri-can crested porcupines, a pair of Pa-tagonian cavies, a colony of South American Leaf-Nosed fruit bats and a number of waterfowl, chickens and peacocks of different species.

Foster Parrots’ aid is now making a difference globally with conservation mission Project Guyana, dedicated to protecting wildlife through village-based eco-tourism efforts. In 2004, a private donation supplied funds for the Maipaima Eco-Lodge, a wild-life refuge at the base of the Kanuku Mountains in the South American Re-public of Guyana. Guyana’s lush for-ests and grasslands, 80 percent of which are untouched, is home to the jaguar, the giant anteater, armadillo and otter, nine species of primates, 28 species of parrots, and plenty of other exotics. Namely, it is a pristine location for a wildlife sanctuary. Fos-ter Parrots’ ecotourism efforts assist Amerindians in shaping their eco-

nomic and ecological futures, as well as provide nature-based education to Amerindian village schools and activities of Junior Wildlife Clubs. Foster Parrots sponsors one or two guided eco-tours to Guyana each year, and hopes to add more in the future.

As a celebration of its tremendous work in parrot and exotic animal res-cue, and to ensure that efforts will continue in the future, Foster Par-rots is hosting its third annual Open House and Gala Fundraiser Extrava-ganza at the Wildlife Sanctuary on August 27. The event will feature sanctuary tours in the afternoon, a raffle and silent auction, live music by popular Boston-based acoustic rock band the Adam Ezra Group, a vegetarian buffet and an open beer and wine bar. All proceeds will bene-fit the work of Foster Parrots and the New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctu-ary. Johnson hopes to get as many people involved in Foster’s ventures as possible: “It’s a matter of getting people to know who we are and what we’re doing.” Ticket and sponsorship information can be found online at www.fosterparrots.com.

For Johnson and Windsor, every parrot brought to the sanctuary and taken out of captivity is another step closer to saving the species. From spending time with his intelligent companions he, along with Windsor and all of the organization’s volun-teers, has been able to make an in-credible impact. He says, “I learned the injustices of a caged pet over time, and my life became dedicated to doing more for them.”

It is a slow journey, as there are 20 to 40 million parrots kept as pets, many of which develop mental and behavioral problems due to being held in captivity. Johnson estimates that the NEEWS receives around 20 calls per week from owners looking to give their parrots away. Still, Fos-ter Parrots, honored with the “Hu-man Hero Award” at the Massachu-setts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 2009 Animal Hall of Fame, devotes tremendous time and money to the protection and conservation of exotics. As Johnson enthuses, “We can always do more.”

Volunteers are always needed and appreciated at the NEEWS. For fur-ther information about how you can get involved, visit www.fosterpar-rots.com. The sanctuary also hosts guided tours by appointment in the afternoons.

Meet Clark… part of The Seasons family.

Hi My name is Clark and I am 7 years old. Until recently, I was roaming the streets of

Ohio. A concerned citizen found me and contacted the Save A Lab Rescue which found a temporary home for me with a loving foster family in Rhode Island. My family interviewed many who wanted to adopt me, including The Seasons assisted living community in East Greenwich, which had been searching for just the right dog for the past 6 months. You see, in September, 2010, their adored black lab Boomer, had passed away from cancer leaving quite a void in the lives of the residents and staff.

Arrangements were made for me to visit The Seasons. When I walked through the front door I knew this would be my new home. Residents and staff were so welcoming. Lots of smiling faces and lots of beautiful, spacious common areas and outside grounds for me to explore. I was sold! So I moved into The Seasons in May and I couldn’t be happier or better cared for. I am now part of a large, loving family. I invite you to stop by and meet me. I’ll be the one with some gray around my snout and a wagging tail.

A Real Working FarmA two-for-one Block Island adventure

Who would have thought a short ferry ride to Block Island could transport you to the faraway lands of Australia, Egypt, South America and India?

Located in a meadow next to the Manisses Hotel, the rambling Man-isses Animal Farm features an outdoor zoo that is home to a menagerie of exotic breeds, including two kangaroos, Petunia and Honeysuckle; two camels, Nyla and Kahlia; eight alpacas; a Scottish highland bull named Mr. McDuff; a yak and zeedonk (a zebra hybrid); emus Fred and Jane, lemurs and a zebu (a South Asian breed of cattle). Not to mention the charming fainting goats that are sure to make you smile. Little ones will get a kick out of feeding the ducks that roam the property’s meadows. Animals are sourced from the SPCA and other groups worth supporting. Visits to the farm are free of charge.

This farm also includes North Light Fiber Mill, a small fiber mill that produces exotic blends of yarn, from lace weight all the way to rug yarn, using some of the fibers from the animals of Manisses Farm. Daily dem-onstrations are offered, as well as regular classes and tutorials. In July, they welcomed two baby alpacas born on the farm – it doesn’t get more cute and cudly than that. To learn more about North Light Fiber Mill, con-tact Sven Risom at 203-241-0578 or email him at [email protected]. For more information about visiting Manisses Farm, call 466-2421.

Marine Life RevealedA local pet store proves that conservation begins at home

As residents of the Ocean State, it seems we’re always talking about or experiencing the water. Perhaps it would entice you to preserve it, as well. At Critter Hut Aquarium and Pets you are given a rare opportunity: a chance to observe growing sea life that’s foreign to our part of the Atlantic.

Their bait is sustainability. More than 500 million people worldwide depend on coral reefs and associated ecosystems for food, storm protec-tion, jobs and recreation. Yet 70 percent of coral reefs are either threat-ened or completely destroyed, so it seems problematic for aquariums to take pieces from their natural habitats only to be displayed in tanks.

Critter Hut sustainably raises and cares for exotic saltwater corals, plants and fish. All members of Critter Hut’s invertebrate family have been tank-raised in an effort to support preservation of reefs, while still giving people a chance to examine them up close (and take them home for your own aquariums). Ergo, they are the owners of some of the oldest observable saltwater invertebrates and corals in the state. Critter Hut has locations in Narragansett and North Kingstown.

The Lizard KingLearn about our reptilian friends from one of the best

If you liked the Crocodile Hunter, you’ll love B’wana Iguana. For anyone want-ing to venture into the wonderful world of scaly creatures, you can’t go wrong at a reptile show by the well-respected herpetologist Ray Ward, proprietor of B’wana Iguana Reptile Adventure.

Ray was the first President of the Rhode Island Herpetological Association and is currently a member of the National Geographic Society. He provides traveling educational programs (think of it like a mobile reptile zoo) for par-ties, schools and more. His interactive adventure shows both entertain and educate audience members about the scaled world of reptiles and amphib-ians.

Now, at first you might be scared - but by the end of the show you might just have Mellow Yellow, a Burmese Python, wrapped around your neck like a feather boa. Other creatures featured in his shows include baby alligators and 25 species of boas, pythons, kingsnakes and rattlesnakes, along with Shelly the flipping turtle and Mr. T the tortoise, all of whom were donated by former owners unable to care for them. To arrange a presentation, call Ray Ward at 943-1594 or email him at [email protected].

Animal lovers flock to zoos and aquariums to observe ex-otic animals in their habitats. But behind a gate, or on the other side of glass, there isn’t much opportunity to actu-ally interact with them. However, two local institutions offer behind-the-scenes programs to get up close and personal with your favorite species.

Over the state line, Mystic Aquarium gives a whole new (and much less shady) meaning to “swimming with the fishes.” Through their Encounter Programs, you can get as close as you like to some of their most beloved creatures. Take beluga whales, for instance. During a Beluga Encoun-ter, you can get right in the tank with them. Guests don wetsuits and wade into Mystic’s Arctic Coast exhibit, where you can interact with the whales and get a personal lesson from their trainers about their behavior, care and conser-vation. Another program, Train-a-Whale, gives you the op-portunity to feed the friendly, intelligent creatures and to participate in a training session. Or, if wetsuits aren’t your thing, Whales Up Close lets you pet a beluga without actu-ally getting inside their habitat.

If March of the Penguins left you feeling like you wanted to jump on the first boat to Antarctica – admit it, those birds were really endearing – then sign up for a Penguin Encounter. During this program, guests gather together in a private room where African penguins (which were listed as an endangered species in 2010) can walk freely among them. Trainers give you a lesson on the penguins’ behav-ior and the issues facing them today, and you can be face-to-face with the birds and even touch them. For aspiring marine biologists, Mystic offers summer camps through August that teach kids about ocean life and exploration, in-cluding overnights at the aquarium. 55 Coogan Boulevard,

Mystic. 860-572-5955. www.mysticaquarium.orgIn Providence, the encounters are a bit drier, but no less

wild. The Roger Williams Park Zoo offers plenty of ways to get up close to your favorite land creatures. On Wednesday nights, the zoo offers Sunset Safaris. At twilight, when the crowds are gone for the day and the animals are their most active, an interpretive guide takes a small group through the grounds for a one-of-a-kind tour. Or, if you can’t bear to leave at 9pm when that tour is over, sign up for a Fam-ily Overnight, where kids and parents sleep at the zoo and observe the behaviors of nocturnal animals.

While the zoo offers an array of camps for children – the programs range in ages from toddler to teen, and in theme from conservation education to art instruction – the really interesting programs happen at ZooCamp, where older kids can have behind-the-scenes animal encounters, and to get out of the zoo for adventures in nature. 1000 Elmwood Avenue, Providence. 785-3510. www.rwpzoo.org.

So Stylish | Whole Body

Every year, I start the summer with the best of intentions about sun protec-tion. I buy my SPF 30 sunblock and ap-ply it liberally. I trot out my comically large sun hat. (I prefer to call it glamorous, thank you very much.) I reapply. But at one hint of a bit of color and one glance at a few new freckles, I lose all my willpower. I can be careful about sun protection in September, I think to myself. This summer, as in summers past, all that matters is my ownership of a bronzed, beautiful tan.

You can see how this might cause some problems. Last summer I never used anything higher than an SPF 15, and as a consequence I ended up keep-ing several dark freckles that in the past had faded when my tan did. And while this year I’ve ramped up my suncare a bit, I’ve been feeling like it’s time to con-sider other sources in trying to achieve the perfect tan.

The options are plentiful. Self-tanner now comes in lotions, gels, sprays – even pre-moistened towelettes. And while they’re good options, it takes a lot of practice (and a lot of streaky legs and or-ange palms while you’re learning) to real-ly master them. But a professional spray tan? That had been out of the question. I got one several years ago, and it was bad. Really bad. I looked like an Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for three days, until the hor-rifying burnt sienna faded into an only slightly less horrifying burnt orange. The tanner just did not match my skin, and it was sticky and unpleasant and not at all worth the cost or difficulty.

So, when Sandra Barber called me from Warwick’s RGE Salon promising me a whole new spray tan experience with hi-definition airbrush tanning, I was du-bious. I told her about my previous ap-pearance as a terra cotta-colored candy maker. “This isn’t anything like that,” she promised me. “No Snooki involved. You’re going to love it.” Because I’m will-ing to try anything once for beauty, I headed to the salon to give it a shot. And you know what? I’m really glad I did.

Let’s start with the differences (and there are many) between hi-definition air-brush tanning and the spray tans of old. First, this product is all natural and para-ben-free, so it’s much better for you. Next, it comes in a huge variety of shades, so Sandra was able to find one that precisely matched my skin. Finally, it dried without any kind of smell or stickiness, unlike its messy predecessor. The fact that Sandra applied the spray with a tiny spray gun, allowing her to “sculpt” more toned mus-cles with shading, really didn’t hurt either. I left RGE with much higher hopes for my fake tan than I had started with.

The next day, I got several compli-ments on how sun-kissed I looked. (As a point of reference, after my first spray tan, people laughed when I walked in the room. This was better.) This hi-def tan blended into my skin really nicely, and looked more natural than I could have expected. After a week, when it started to fade, I was sad to see it go. Looks like I might have found a new, safer source of summer sun. 1775 Bald Hill Road, War-wick. 821-5273, www.shoprge.com

So Stylish | What’s In Store

If you are spending your days luxuriously basking in the sun on one of Westerly’s gorgeous beaches, why not take a piece of summer home with you when it’s back to reality? Ocean House Home, the flagship store of the lavish beachside resort in Watch Hill, Ocean House, offers everything from beach essentials like swimsuits, sun hats and totes, to beautiful home décor reminiscent of the hotel’s fine furnishings.

Situated in this historic village’s ren-ovated firehouse, Ocean House Home attracts resort-dwellers, beach-goers and locals alike. The boutique’s staff is clad in fun, colorful Barbara Gerwit tu-nics, which are also available for sale alongside similar garments by Hale Bob and Gretchen Scott. Apparel by Elizabeth McKay, who designs the re-sort’s hostess dresses, is also featured in the shop. Men can find fine twill ox-fords, classic crewnecks and light Bar-bour jackets, perfect for fall, or even chillier late-summer evenings. Bright-ly colored dresses, shirts and shorts by Lilly Pulitzer add a chic touch to any child’s wardrobe. To accessorize, Ocean House Home carries a variety of patterned totes (great for packing your beach gear), stylish sun hats and soft summer scarves.

With a selection of charming enam-el dinnerware, as well as cookware and utensils, you can become the best hostess in town (or recreate one

of the resort’s fabulous Friday night clambakes). For a soothing spa day at home, the shop carries some of the indulgent spa and beauty products used in Ocean House’s spa services, including lotions and soaps from Seda Naturals and Niven Morgan. Cashmere throws, cozy robes and fragrant can-dles transform any home into a relax-ing private oasis.

Ocean House Home also carries a variety of home and garden décor, including antique garden statues, silk floral arrangements and stone bird baths, all of which bring a touch of natural beauty to your home. Locally-made honey and maple syrup, as well as historical books about the area, add Rhode Island spirit for both locals and tourists.

To find unique products, Ocean House retail director Dabney Pierce likes to shop markets and is “con-stantly looking for interesting things.” Aside from the store in Watch Hill’s coastal village, a selection of the bou-tique’s items can be found in the lob-by of the resort.

Whether or not you’ve had the luxury of staying in the iconic Ocean House or spending time on its private white-sand beach, the right selections from Ocean House Home can at least make people think you’re rubbing elbows with the leisure set. 31 Bay Street, Watch Hill. 637-4589, www.oceanhouseri.com

So Stylish | Tastemaker

The tiles you offer at Renaissance Tile are made all over the world. Can you tell me about some interesting ones?We have tiles from quarries in Africa, dried up riverbeds that are millions of years old. Many of them contain fas-cinating fossils throughout their bod-ies, dating back to the Jurassic period. We have tiles that emulate the look of pearls, beads and real tossed sea glass. Thanks to the latest ink-jet technology, we now carry porcelain that looks iden-tical to stone – to the point that if put them next to each other, you would be hard pressed to tell which was stone and which was porcelain.

Limestone and quartz remain popular. The inherent beauty is obvious, yet over the past 28 years, the foremost reason has been their spiritual or metaphysical properties. The metaphysical aspects of limestone and quartz are their pro-claimed ability to enhance healing, pu-rification, innocence, centeredness and promotion of positive thinking.

What is the most popular tile choice for kitchens? What about bathrooms?Glass and pebble stone for both kitch-en and bath applications, hands down. Some subway tiles mixed with glass or mosaic inserts are popular. White sub-way stone or ceramic “trend” is at it’s weakest at this time, but seems to still be a diehard cottage favorite.

Where can tile be used in unexpected places for major impact?In the bathroom, or any other area in the home, use decorative tiles to frame a frameless mirror to create interest. Use pebble stone, glass or any other tile of your liking to create a textured ac-cent wall in your bathroom; a small wall that juts out is a nice touch. Use tiles that coordinate with your bath floor and shower as a frame for a backsplash behind your vanity.

Elsewhere, you can insert tiles into hardwood, floors either around the perimeter of the room or intermit-tently within the body of the room. Try using tiles to accent the head and/or footboard of your bed. Glass tiles in

the ceiling of a foyer or entranceway with spot lighting make a fascinating first impression that is timeless and elegant. Choose a high polished fin-ish tile like marble, glass, shell, onyx or many more on the inside face of a hutch to set off its contents. Onyx is transparent; therefore, you can install small lights behind it in a hallway near the baseboard for low cost and a beau-tiful nighttime ambience.

How are you different from the other tile showrooms and outlets?Walk in our showroom: it says it all. We are one of the largest, owner-operated, hands-on tile and design centers in New England. Our products are indi-vidually handpicked, piece-by-piece, well-displayed concept layouts in an art gallery environment. We offer free in-house interior design consultation, and have an abundance of resources for customer consideration.

Do you do any custom-designed work?We offer one-of-a-kind custom tile de-signs. If a customer is looking for a de-sign that’s “outside the box,” we will work with them to create a masterpiece on any scale or budget. If you have al-ready chosen your cabinets, paint or countertops and plumbing, always bring in a sample of each (or what you can get your hands on), to get the most out of your visit. If you are in the first stages of your project, we recommend a visit to

the store for a brief consultation prior to making your choices.

I understand that you recently made some renovations. Tell us about them.When My Brother’s Britches relocated, we saw a wonderful opportunity for expansion, adding over 2,500 square feet of showroom. We added four large rooms, plus other concept areas show-casing exotic tiles from all over the globe.

We’re also adding a virtual design center near our library. In this area, the customer can do their tile design, whether interior or exterior, home-work. They can make themselves comfortable, insert CDs of products we offer and privately click through visual concepts. Our current resource library will also be expanded. A re-freshment center is located outside of the impending virtual design area.

What kinds of reactions have you been getting?The things we hear most are, “I wish I had known you were here before,” and “You are definitely worth the trip. I can’t believe the selection you have.” Very rewarding words indeed. We are grateful to the local commu-nity for putting their faith in us by re-peatedly recommending us.

So Stylish | Life/Style By Andrea E. McHugh

“This is what made me want this,” says Linda Lee Butler, arms out-stretched to Narragansett Bay where a sailboat floats lazily by in the late day honey-hued sunlight. For more than ten years, the interior designer has been charged with making the houses of others into homes, so when she and husband Ken Alves found themselves facing a future as empty nesters, they decided it was time to downsize. The couple had been living in Newport in an eight-bedroom estate at an envi-able address, but planning for the years ahead, the two knew it was a whole lot of house. Logical, yes, but the move still raised some eyebrows.

“People said, ‘You’re leaving New-port?’” laughs Butler with an inflect-ed sarcastic drama. But when the couple stumbled upon a 1930s bun-galow with jaw-dropping 180-degree views, they never looked back. “I en-joy this so much more,” she says with a sincere satisfaction. “To me, this is more Newport than my Newport house ever was.”

It was nearly five years ago when Alves and Butler bought the charm-ing abode that needed substantial renovations and included a trio of lots. For many, a project of that mag-nitude would be intimidating, but for Butler, it was invigorating. “I had to

work with an architect because I really don’t know how to build all the way through,” she concedes. “As a graph-ic designer, I draw things up and say ‘How can I get this done?’”

Her first task was to take advantage of the million dollar view which had previously been a second thought, harbored by walls and a few windows. She immediately knew her starting point, and it was an unlikely choice. “I saw the porch and said, ‘Oh my God, this is the dining room!’ My husband said, ‘I don’t think it’s big enough.’” But her interior design experience of-fered an easy solution. “Banquettes, banquettes, banquettes. He goes,

‘What’s a banquette?’ But this is what made it work. I can get 20 people at this table,” she explains – and she has. The oversized, rectangular table, cus-tom built by the Wright Table Com-pany, gleams in the natural light. Sur-rounded by windows on three sides, guests have a stunning milieu from ev-ery seat. “And you know when the sun goes down – you think this is a beauti-ful view? When the bridge lights up at night it’s phenomenal.”

Though they kept the footprint in tact, Butler and Alves added on to the existing bungalow, knocked down walls and added more porch space, an in-ground swimming pool and stone

deck area, plus a deep water dock. Porthole windows in-vite a nautical aesthetic while simple touches, including the blue and white color palate throughout, toast coastal living at its best. Butler’s stunning artwork is delicately placed on the walls alongside some of the couple’s favor-ite artists, including Dora Atwater Millikin. The bathroom boasts a floor to ceiling mural by Christine Hannon mirror-ing the home’s view.

The entire project took most of a year, and grew more extensive than Butler had planned, but the end product was even more extraordinary than they anticipated.

As a busy interior designer (Linda Lee Butler Interiors),

her approach to design most always includes a blend of old and new. “One antique, vintage or old piece, and one painted piece, and then the rest can be new,” she explains, and she practices what she preaches. Salvaged pieces in their weathered state add visual interest, while her graph-ic design experience is evident in the symmetrical place-ment of accessories.

“Huge house and all, I gave it all up for this, and I don’t regret it for a minute,” she says with a smile. “I think that just happens with our lives, scaling back. I think the fact that I can watch the sunset…” she trails off. “You forget about watching the sunset, and I do every night.” P

People are paying a lot of attention to the quality and provenance of in-gredients these days. Where do you source yours?We buy our ingredients from a variety of sources. Let’s start with the ice cream mix, which is the basis for great ice cream. Ours is purchased from a New England dairy and contains 15% butter-fat, which is why our ice cream is so rich and creamy. We purchase our non-fat yogurt, sherbet and no sugar added mix from another local dairy. The mix comes in five-gallon cases, and during the summer we purchase about 100 cases per week. Our ice cream ingredients, in-cluding flavorings, mixings and nuts, are purchased from a few local suppliers.

How do you make the ice cream?We have two 40-quart Emery Thomp-son batch freezers. We combine the ice cream mix along with the ingredients and make one batch at a time. A batch is equivalent to four three-gallon tubs of ice cream, totaling about 50 pounds. On any given day we will make be-tween 15 to 20 batches. The ice cream comes out in a consistency similar to soft serve ice cream. The tubs are put directly into our blast freezer to harden for a 24-hour period. The blast freezer is set at minus-40 degrees. Usually the next day the ice cream is moved to our storage freezers, which are set at zero degrees. This allows the ice cream to

cure to serving temperature.

What is usually your best seller on the hottest days of summer?We have over 64 varieties of ice cream, so I can’t say that there is one particular best seller. However, no matter what day, it seems va-nilla is always the most popular, fol-lowed closely by Oreo Cookie, Cookie Dough, and our Black Raspberry Chip and Coffee Heath Bar yogurts.

What is your sweetest flavor?Our sweetest flavor by far is Birthday Cake ice cream. We combine our ice cream mix with yellow cake mix, real butter cream frosting and colored sprinkles to make a product that tastes just like a birthday cake. It’s so popular that we made a chocolate version for the chocolate lovers this summer.

What else do you have to offer the chocolate lovers?We offer many varieties for chocolate lovers, including our basic chocolate, Chocolate Mousse ice cream, which is made with a dark chocolate and a French custard base, Chocolate Brownie or Chocolate Walnut.

What would you recommend for a low fat option?Our non-fat yogurts are the perfect option for someone looking for a de-

licious treat with low fat content; a four-ounce serving of vanilla yogurt contains 100 calories and zero fat.

Where do your recipes come from?When we purchased the store ten years ago, the former owner had recipes for about 40 flavors. We have expanded our menu to 64 vari-eties. We experiment a lot with dif-ferent flavors and combinations to see what works.

What is your most adventurous flavor?Probably the Margarita Sorbet, made with Cuervo Gold Tequila. We had a booth at the Providence Convention Center a couple of years ago, and it so happened that is was on Cinco De Mayo. We wanted a signature offer-ing for the event, and created a sor-bet that tasted like a frozen margarita that had people coming back for sec-onds and more.

Which option would you recommend for a tangy-sweet, summery flavor?I would have to say orange pineap-ple or lemon ice cream; and for non-ice cream lovers orange sherbet or lemon sorbet.

Summer is sweet in so many ways: glorious days at the beach, warm nights by a fire pit, and food – fabulous food like that served at the Breachway Grill, which recently opened at 1 Charlestown Beach Road in Charlestown, offering regional comfort food. In nice weather, you can dine on the patio. Fresh seafood, steaks, chops, pizza and sandwiches are available.

Bonnet Seafood Grille at 909 Boston Neck Road in Narragansett is now open on Friday and Saturday from 4:30 to 9:30pm. Good seafood at reasonable prices is the promise of Ken Tetzner, owner of this BYOB establishment.

Beaches and Cream is the name of the newest ice cream shop in Narra-gansett, located at 865 Point Judith Road. They offer Gifford’s Ice Cream from Maine.

Siena at 5600 Post Road in East Greenwich has a new menu and martini list. One of the new salads is Insalata d’Anguria, a watermelon salad with red onion, goat cheese and fresh mint. On Wednesday, August 3, Siena will hold a cigar dinner. The event will begin at 6pm in the restaurant’s humidor with a cigar and liquor sampling and passed hors d’oeuvres. A sit-down dinner will follow in Siena’s wine room. Then it’s back to the humidor for coffee, dessert and an after-dinner cigar. The all-inclu-sive cost is $65 per person. For tickets, call 885-8850.

La Strada Café and Pizzeria at 920 Matunuck Beach Road in South Kingstown now has a beer and wine license.

The Bay Voyage (150 Conanicus Avenue) in Jamestown has unveiled a new menu that includes grilled rib eye, pan-braised haddock and a Rhode Is-land take on cioppino. The new execu-tive chef, Casey Shea, formerly worked at Rhumbline, Clarke Cooke House and Tucker’s Bistro, all in Newport.

Caprice at 455 Main Street in East

Greenwich now offers half-priced appetizers from 5 to 7pm, Monday through Thursday. Try the Portobello Tower with its layers of grilled onion, zucchini, eggplant, tomato and fresh mozzarella with balsamic glaze.

Every Thursday, Friday and Satur-day at 3pm this summer, food forager Jan Faust Dane will host culinary pre-sentations at Dune Cottage on the grounds of the Ocean House (1 Bluff Avenue) in Watch Hill. Every Thurs-day, the art of shucking local shell-fish will be demonstrated with taste samples and recipes for attendees. Inventive ice cream flavors will be explored on Fridays; a recent tasting featured roasted strawberry balsamic ice cream. On Saturday, local meats, cheese and produce will be used to make grilled pizzas. These classes are open to the public at a cost of $15 per person. Call 584-7000 to sign up.

FEAST IN THE FIELDThis year’s Feast in the Field, a benefit for the Children’s Garden Network, will take place Saturday, August 20 at The Farmer’s Daughter (716 Mooresfield Road, South Kingstown), starting at 6:30pm. This culinary experience cel-ebrates local seasonal foods and native wines. The menu will be prepared by Chef Glenn Place of Tom’s Market Ca-tering. Tickets are $150 each and may be purchased online at www.childrens-gardennetwork.org.

NEWPORT NEWSThe White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine is considered by many to be the finest restaurant in New Eng-land. Its famed executive chef, Jon-athan Cartwright, has moved on to Newport where he recently opened Muse at Vanderbilt Grace. The for-mer Vanderbilt is now part of Grace Hotels, a luxury boutique hotel group. At Muse, diners can expect a menu rich with local specialties and then some, from clam chowder to pan-roasted pheasant breast and smoked lobster. Muse is open daily for dinner from 6 to 10pm. For more info, visit www.vanderbiltgrace.com. To make a reservation, call 846-6200.

The 40-seat Thames Street Kitchen has opened, and it’s a BYOB establish-ment. Chef-owners Chad Hoffer and Tyler Burnley offer locally sourced food, such as English pea ravioli with brisket and day boat scallops with cau-liflower puree.

Chef Karsten Hart is the new chef de cuisine at Castle Hill Inn and Resort, assisting Executive Chef Jonathan Cambra. Previously, Hart was executive chef at The Estate by the Elderberries in Oakhurst, California, another Relais and Chateaux property.

Your store recently underwent a pret-ty massive change. Tell me about it. We went from a quaint and well-worn little package store to a state of the art, green, destination wine and spirits store. Where once customers had to say which beer they wanted, and then wait while staff ran into the back to get it for them, we now have nice self-serve coolers and a fairly extensive micro-brew library where people can browse and make choices based on beers they can actually see. Where the wine room was sort of an after thought, tucked away in a little side room where peo-ple would stumble over each other, we now have ample dancing space for our Friday and Saturday tastings, as well as a tasting loft for special wine and beer events. The little packy certainly did its duty, but it was time for a change.

Why go green?We wanted to created a place we and our town could be proud of. Anyone who visits Charlestown quickly real-izes the abundance of natural beauty here. It simply made sense for us to create a structure that would not only be energy efficient, but also jive with our surroundings. It starts with things like choosing non-invasive, indigenous plantings for our landscape, using per-meable pavers for our parking lot, sid-ing our building with recycled material and choosing geothermal energy to heat and cool the store.

It seems like Charlestown Wine and Spirits is a lot different than Charles-town Package Store used to be. Our customers were super support-ive during our transition and their patience has been rewarded with, what I feel, is a really pleasant and special place to shop and experience new wines and beers that maybe they wouldn’t have tried before. Another positive reward for having a bigger building is we can now buy more in bulk, which means we pay less and with that our customers pay less as well. We like to pass on the love.

Let’s talk about summer cocktails. What are you drinking right now? One of my favorite summer cocktails is the Caipirinha, made with Cachaca, a rum-like spirit extracted from sugar cane. It’s muddled with lots of fresh quartered limes, crushed ice and super fine sugar. It’s a refreshing party in a glass from Brazil.

Summer is the perfect season for something bubbly. What’s an afford-able bottle of sparkling wine?I often recommend Le Berceau from Domain de Martinolles in Limoux, France. It’s a crisp delight that’s a great value, and was actually the worlds first bubbly - dating back to the 1500s, even before Dom Perignon.. It’s a yummy piece of history. Another fantastic bub-bly is a Sparkling Rose Zweigelt from

Nigle in Austria. It’s dry with a splash of wild strawberry – a must try.

What about die-hard red wine drink-ers? What’s a warm weather alterna-tive for them?This summer there seems to be a Rose craze. People can’t seem to get enough. From all over France and other parts of the world these dry, crisp sum-mer quenchers are stealing the show. For those determined summer red wine drinkers, a super dry Lambrusco, served chilled. Yum. It’s certainly not your grandfather’s Lambrusco. We have been having a lot of fun with these.

What’s new in the wine world these days? Any regions you think are par-ticularly noteworthy?There are an amazing amount of hid-den and affordable gems from Portu-gal. It almost seems like the Portuguese are just trying to get their wine out on the market, so there are some delicious wines for very low prices. From Vihno Verde with its slight effervescence to the robust reds of the Douro Valley to the elegant reds from Dao, grab them up before the Portuguese realize what they’ve got.

The logo for Clam Jammers illus-trates well what this new restaurant is all about. A very happy scallop shell, wear-ing sneakers no less, is playing the elec-tric guitar. Yes, this is a waterfront res-taurant that offers food, drink and live music. On a perfect summer day, and on into the night, this place is rocking.

It was one of those perfect summer days when three of us headed over to Clam Jammers in Galilee. We sat at one of the many outside umbrella tables on a wraparound deck. Unfortunately, once you sit down, you lose the 180-degree view of the commercial fishing boats and the ferries, but when the Carol Jean blasts its horn signaling its departure, you can stand up, stretch your legs and watch the ferry glide away.

The service and the food far surpassed my expectations. Sheena, our waitress, was just about perfect: ever-smiling, right there whenever needed, and sin-cerely invested in giving us a positive experience. The food was downright amazing, and very reasonably priced.

There’s a lot to consider on this menu: dozens of appetizers, chowders with the usual accoutrements, salads, sandwich-es, burgers, seafood, steaks and pasta dishes. But first, get the fun started with a cocktail. The Great Island Iced Tea is the local blue version of the summer classic. With a nod to the Red Sox, the Papel Bomb is a shot of Crown Royal,

sour apple schnapps and cranberry juice dropped into a half pint of hard cider. My Bloody Mary ($7.50), garnished with a jumbo green olive and a celery stick, was supposed to be made with clam juice, but I couldn’t detect any clam flavor. That was the only disappointment of the meal. Everything else was a grand slam.

I totally recommend the Jammin’ Fish Tacos ($9.99), surely enough for lunch or a light dinner, perfect for two to share as an appetizer. Soft flour tortillas are filled with strips of battered haddock nestled in a little shredded cabbage for crunch, small chunks of tomato and onion, fla-vored with a smokey citrus mayo. Right on point. Cheryl opted for the traditional Rhode Island Calamari ($8.99) tossed with the customary hot pepper rings in a tangy garlic and butter sauce. If that isn’t enough flavor, you can dip these fried squid rings into a lemon garlic sauce on the side.

Brian went with the Rhode Island Combo ($9.99), again a perfect lunch option. This includes a bowl of red or white chowder, three clam cakes and a stuffie. The excellent white chowder was creamy and neither too thick nor too thin, with chunks of tender potato and bits of chopped clams. All it needed was a light dusting of black pepper. The clam cakes were done right: big and brown, with golden interiors studded with small chunks of quahog. The stuffie, one of the

best we’ve had this season, was a solid marriage of moist breadcrumbs, more chopped quahogs, chorizo and spices.

The extensive menu is tempting and in some instances, intriguing. The Kitch-en Sink Salad ($10.99) piqued our curi-osity with its myriad ingredients (greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, olives, provolone, cheddar cheese, ham and croutons with a balsamic vinai-grette), but we saved that for another day. Instead, we set our sights on three dishes from the sea.

The Lobster Roll (priced daily, and that day it was $19.99) was an oversized hot dog roll, buttered and ever so lightly grilled, then stuffed with fresh lobster meat from the tail and claw that was lightly dressed with mayonnaise, sea-sonings and shredded lettuce. I savored every bite of this summer treat, which came with house-made potato chips, golden brown and still warm.

Cheryl had a spectacular bowl of Lob-ster Carbonara ($18.99). A generous bed of perfectly cooked linguine was topped with chunks of tender lobster meat, spring peas and bits of crisp bacon in a not overly rich Parmesan cream sauce.

Brian went a more traditional route with the Baked Haddock ($14.99). A large cut of pearly white haddock coated with a Ritz cracker crumb topping cov-ered half the dinner plate; the other half was filled with vibrant green zucchini and yellow summer squash, nicely sautéed

and surprisingly tasty. A substantial or-der of seasoned fries came on a separate plate, but they soon disappeared.

Thankfully, the desserts ($3.99 each) at Clam Jammers are new and different, unlike so many restaurants today that all offer basically the same items. There’s an Ice Box Lemon Tart, and Cheesecake Lollipops in three flavors. Both were tempting, but we were swayed by the Great Balls O’Cake, a trio of good-size cake balls dipped in chocolate. This was perfect for the three of us. I cut each ball in half so we could all try the chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, the yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and the white almond cake with strawberry buttercream frosting. This turned into an interesting taste experiment, with no one agreeing on which cake ball was the best, proving once again that when it comes to food, it’s to each his own.

August 5-7Let’s pause for a moment of silence to pay respect to Rhode Islanders suffering from that most horrible of indignities: the shellfish allergy. Seems sort of like a bad cosmic joke, doesn’t it? Living in the Ocean State is hard enough sometimes. The high unemployment rate. Harsh winters. And then you’ve got to add on the possibility of breaking out in head-to-toe hives or wheezing through our most beloved delicacies. Don’t worry. Those who can will represent at the Charlestown Seafood Festival, fill-ing our histamine-free systems with lobster, steamers, chowder, fish and chips, clam cakes and raw bar items. And for the tragically allergic? We’ll save a piece of corn on the cob with extra butter. Friday: noon-10pm; Sat-urday: 11am-10pm; Sunday: 11am-9pm. Admission only: $8; free 12 and under. Ninigret Park, Route 1A, Charlestown. 364-4031, www.charlestownricham-ber.com

Through August 13Trust that as a Rhode Islander, you may know a thing or two about Hair-spray, but even at a pre-hurricane watch on the wall, your ‘do hasn’t had to stand up to the same pressure of the strands of Tracy Turnblad, sing-ing through the social injustices of the ‘60s. $39, $47, $54. Theatre By The Sea, 364 Card’s Pond Road, Ma-tunuck. 782-8587, www.theatrebythe-sea.com

Going CountryAugust 17-21: There are certain things that oc-cur at the Washington County Fair that you’ve surely never considered before. Like which cow will win the title of Best Udder? (And if, like in The Real Housewives, any artificial en-hancement was involved.) Or who will be vic-torious during the watermelon seed spitting contest, the tug-o-war championship, swine obstacle course or rooster crowing contest. Or whose sweet green basil will take home the blue ribbon. For 45 years, the largest fair in Rhode Island has showcased the importance of agriculture to our daily existence, while at the same time preserving a slower and simpler pace of life. This year brings the special treat of country legend Crystal Gayle, accompanied by her equally famous long mane, performing on Saturday night. Daily schedule online. $10, free ages 10 and under. Washington County Fairgrounds, 78 Richmond Town House Road (Route 112), Richmond. 782-8139, www.wash-ingtoncountyfair-ri.com

Oh, the Drama

August 8-9: Don’t think about Shake-speare in the Park as some sort of high-brow refresher of high school English class. Nah. Break it down and consider the Mixed Magic production of King Lear as, well, a segment on the Maury show. So you’ve got this father who wants to split up his pos-sessions among his three kids equally, but he starts to play favorites because one of his daughters is a straight shooter, while the other two just tell him what he wants to hear. So instead of thirds, the loot gets split two ways. (At this point, daugh-ter number one is completely justified in throwing a chair or two.) The ensuing fam-ily drama unfolds outside, sort of like what goes down on hot summer nights in your neighborhood. And of course, you’re go-ing to pull up a seat and watch. 7:30pm. Free, donations accepted. The Towers, 35 Ocean Road, Narragansett. 782-2597, www.thetowersri.com

In the world of musical comedy, joy reigns supreme. A sunny song cures the blues, and a romantic dance restores lost love. Who wouldn’t want to pull up a chair and stay awhile? For the protagonist of Broadway hit The Drowsy Chaperone, known simply as “Man in Chair,” there’s no place he’d rather be. So, whenever he feels gloomy, he listens to the cast album of his favorite 1920s show. The flappers and tappers come to life in his apartment and lift his spirits immediately.

In the production opening at Matu-nuck’s Theatre By the Sea (TBTS) this month, Lennie Watts stars as that “Man in Chair.” Faithful TBTS-goers will fondly recall Watts as a veteran performer in past shows like Guys and Dolls, the di-rector of Joseph and the Amazing Tech-nicolor Dreamcoat, and the former host of the Late Night Cabaret series. The New York theater artist is delighted to return to TBTS this summer after 11 years away. We took a seat to learn more about him, his upcoming role and the fun-filled show itself.

Where are you from, and when did you start working in theater? I am originally from St. Louis, but moved to New York City in 1985 to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Acad-emy (AMDA). I always had an interest in theater, acting and singing, but didn’t really do anything until after high school. The first show I did was Grease in 1980. I was hooked! I went on to do tons of community and college theater. My first professional gig was South Pacific at The Westport Playhouse in St. Louis. At that time, a friend of mine had moved to New York and was attending AMDA. She called me and said, “You have to come up here! It’s just like the movie Fame!” I had never been, but I packed everything I owned, sold my car and moved to New York – and haven’t looked back since!

How did you get involved at Theatre By the Sea? I was working in a piano bar as a singing bartender. I got up to sing my set, and when I finished, a man called me over to his table. He asked if I did theater and I told him yes. He told me he was direct-ing a production of The Music Man, and they needed a “Marcellus.” The audition

was the next day. I called in sick to my other job and went to the audition. I was cast, and that began my ten-year stint at TBTS. That director was Richard Sabel-lico, who directed many shows at TBTS during the FourQuest years [period of previous ownership, 1988-2003].

What has your experience with the group been like?I looked forward to returning to TBTS ev-ery summer. I owe so much to FourQuest Entertainment, especially [previous co-owner] Laura Harris. I got the opportuni-ty to play some amazing roles, direct my first professional production, and host the Late Night Cabaret. I also toured na-tionally and internationally and had my debut CD produced, all through Laura and FourQuest. I must say, I was pretty devastated when they decided to close. It was such a huge part of my life. It was like losing a family member. Needless to say, I am thrilled and grateful for the op-portunity to return.

Have you ever played the role of “Man in Chair” before? What’s he like?I knew nothing about The Drowsy Chap-erone when I auditioned. I was actually

interested in Hairspray, but I figured if “in Chair” is in the name of the character, I could get into that. I got a copy of the script and have been reading it and lis-tening to the cast recording to get some ideas. I think the show is really charming and funny, and as I’m reading the script I’m thinking, “This guy is just like me!”

How would you describe the play? I think The Drowsy Chaperone is a per-fect show for TBTS; it’s a show-within-a-show. On one hand, it’s a splashy, old-fashioned musical full of great songs and big dance numbers and, on the other hand, it’s an intimate, funny, personal story of a guy who loves theater and in-vites you into his home to chat about it.

“It begins with the first time someone pats you on the back and tells you, ‘You did a good job,’ espe-cially when you’re a kid; you get that affirmation from adults and there’s just something about it that keeps you going.” That is how local art-ist Anthony Tomaselli describes the roots of his passion for painting. Uti-lizing skills that he developed over the years, Tomaselli’s craft soon be-came his life’s work. A native Rhode Islander, he received his Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from Rhode Island College. He went on to com-plete numerous apprenticeships, and studied Architectural Design at Boston Architectural Center, as well as Graphic Design at the Community College of Rhode Island.

Taking the plunge and acting on in-stinct, Tomaselli has opened the An-thony Tomaselli Gallery of Newport, located on 140 Spring Street across from Trinity Church in the quaint neighborhood known as Historic Hills. When asked why, Tomaselli sim-ply replies, “Why not?” It was a spon-taneous act; seeing the For Rent sign on the building one day, Tomaselli decided to begin another chapter of his life. “The goal is to plant a seed, do your best and see what grows

and then assess it,” he explains. “You want the gallery to support itself and continue growth in my art career, and it already has; it has shown some positive early stages of recognition. I would like to have a year-round gal-lery and some special events along the way as we grow.”

Though his artwork can be seen at the Providence Art Club, having a gallery of his own allows him more space to share his many works of art, including his much larger paintings, with a community of warm and wel-coming artists, local businesses and residents, as well as those just trav-eling through. Both the energy and tranquility he exudes can be experi-enced, whether it’s through admiring his bold and vibrant paintings (such as his noteworthy WaterFire works) or listening to him speak wistfully of day to day life.

As a prominent member of the Rhode Island arts community, To-maselli teaches to inspire and learns through his teachings, thus his in-spiration often comes from others and the relationships he forms. He adds, “I enjoy place; that place can be where I am and usually where I am there is something around me that visually excites me. I also try to

bring a certain feeling, emotion and attitude to that which I am painting.”

The gallery has already generated a lot of interest, and Tomaselli makes sure to embrace every moment. Even with a demanding schedule, from being the owner of T’s Restaurant in East Greenwich for almost 30 years, to teaching oil painting classes and offering workshops at the Provi-dence Art Club, Tomaselli – with the help of his wife – has made the time to paint. “If I really want to accom-plish what I want to accomplish, I just wake up earlier; to fill my soul, that’s basically what I am doing with art.” He advises, “Paint first, then do all the tasks after you paint; call them errands, call them what you want, but do the important things first.” So wake up early, skip the er-rands and make sure to visit Anthony Tomaselli’s Gallery of Newport. If you are so intrigued, drop by on most Wednesdays during the summer for a “Talk with Anthony” session, which includes a free painting demo during which you can get inspired by the artist himself.

If you wish to view more of Antho-ny Tomaselli’s artwork, you can visit www.anthonytomaselli.com.

This one was refreshing, as a good gazpacho should be, with a pleasing texture and a wide variety of veggies, adding avo-cado, zucchini, red onions and bell peppers to the typical to-mato. 1646 Division Street, East Greenwich. 398-1875, www.bistro9restaurant.com

As expected, the restaurant named for gazpacho’s country of origin made a more than respectable bowl of it. This one was heavy on vegetables with a spicy kick and a refreshing hint of ci-lantro. 1144 Ocean Road, Narragansett. 783-9770, www.spainri.com

This was a very classic iteration with a clean, but robust tomato base, dotted with lots of fresh zucchini – like summer in a bowl. 344 Main Street, Wakefield. 284-3353, www.elfuegomexicangrill.com

Probably the most unique interpretation we sampled, this fruit gazpacho was a complete departure from the standard tomato-based version, and then took it even further with some crushed pistachio garnish that nicely enhanced the texture. 13 Narragansett Av-enue, Jamestown. 423-3731, www.trattoria-simpatico.com

A Dish Best Served Cold

So Approved By John Taraborelli

In the summer, most of us either avoid soup

entirely (it’s too hot) or gravitate towards

our beloved clam chowder. Gazpacho, how-

ever, is a perfect option. The chilled tomato

soup, originally of Andalusian Spanish ori-

gin, was made for the hot weather – literal-

ly. (It gets hot in southern Spain.) Now more

of a catchall term for any chilled vegetable

soup, gazpacho comes in plenty of creative

incarnations. Here are some of our favorites

for Rhode Island’s own sweltering south.

Protect Your Family With The One Pool Cover That Passed

The “Bubbles The Elephant” Test!

so there’s no way children or pets can slip through!
