Soozie Sundlun has been cap-turing life’s best memories with a photojournalistic style for decades. Her company, East Greenwich Photo and Studio, was established in 1976. “What I enjoy most are moments where my love of photography allows me to just focus on the person, place or thing that I’m photo-graphing,” she says.

Be it whimsical pet portraits, fun family photography or high profile personalities, she man-ages to integrate an artistic touch into traditional photography. She counts photographing President Obama and President Clinton during their visits to RI as career highlights, and admits that her all-time favorite celebrity shot was Jon Bon Jovi.

Summer Love

From Our Readers

I don’t know about you, but I don’t ever want summer to end. Yes, I know, I live in New England, and should be grate-ful for four proper seasons… blah blah blah… but really I just spend fall, win-ter and spring eagerly anticipating the few blissful months when the most im-portant things on my agenda are long beach days and warm summer nights. That’s what I like about September. Though it’s a transitional month – and most evenings end with a sweater, if not an extra blanket – there’s still a lot of summer to enjoy. If the weather cooperates, there will be three or four more good beach weekends until it’s

time to switch over to your fall ward-robe. And now that the tourists have gone home, it’s a lot easier to enjoy all of the great things about South Coun-ty in the summer, without all of the parking issues and traffic and waiting in line. Check out our guide to enjoying the last of the best season – and then get out there to enjoy it.

This morning my mom, Elaine Chicoria of Westerly, went for a walk on Napa-tree Point in Watch Hill and captured this amazing action shot of an adult Common Tern feeding its hatchling. To me, this picture really captures

the importance of protecting and conserving these critical ecosystems, and I’m so proud to live in a state that takes environmental preservation so seriously. Just wanted to share!

So Happening | So & So

Peace Dale is a tiny village with a rich past. Quaker industrialist Rowland Haz-ard founded the community around 1800 when he purchased interest in a small wool-carding mill on the Sau-gatucket River. His involvement in the business quickly grew, fully purchasing the mill in 1812 and running a fully inte-grated manufacturing business by 1815, one of the first of such textile plants in America. The village continued to expand as his sons further built the community, with new buildings and a stone mill. The mills used for woolen manufacturing operated until 1948. Today, many of the buildings from the original settlement still stand, and in 1987, Peace Dale was named as a his-toric district on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2000, Rhode Island Housing devel-oped a program to encourage the revi-talization of Rhode Island’s neighbor-hoods. Several organizations in South Kingstown came together to submit a proposal for Peace Dale resulting in a grant to develop a community-based plan to address the economic vitality, physical condition, housing opportuni-ties and social needs in the village, since the village had fallen on some tough times in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. After a series of community meetings helped to

establish a thorough plan, The Friends of Peace Dale, Inc., now called the Peace Dale Neighborhood Revitaliza-tion, Inc., (PDNRI) was formed in 2000 to carry out the plan’s goals. By collab-orating with the Town of South Kings-town, the Peace Dale Arts Initiative, the Peace Dale Merchants Association, different community organizations, lo-cal businesses and faithful residents, the PDNRI has made significant strides in reawakening this quaint district of South Kingstown.

A variety of community projects have begun to take place since the grant in 2000. Commercial façade im-provement grants have helped local businesses renew their outward ap-pearance and purchase attractive new signs. Local artists have contributed interesting new public art pieces to the village, including statues, tile work and murals. Activities and events that are free to the public are held year round to help celebrate and bring visitors to the village, including the Peace Dale Village Holiday Gala and the Peace Dale Arts Initiative’s Annual Peace Fair. New shops, bakeries, cozy restaurants, peaceful green spaces, unique local art installments and more help to make Peace Dale an idyllic location to spend an afternoon or a lifetime. Since the

spring of this year, a fresh board has been appointed to further revamp the group’s efforts.

“There is still a lot of room for im-provement in Peace Dale,” says PDNRI president Therese Martin. “We’re opti-mistic that a fresh wave of effort will renew a feeling of pride in Peace Dale. We’ve connected with several new businesses, as well as many people who’ve worked with PDNRI in the past.

We welcome input from the residents and all of those who share our goal of making Peace Dale a great place to work, live and play.”

The PDNRI holds meetings the sec-ond Tuesday of every month from 6:30-8:30pm at the Peace Dale Congrega-tional Church, at 261 Columbia Street in Peace Dale, that are open to all, so swing by to learn more or to get involved. www.peacedale.net. -Claire Flanagan

Rejuvenating a TownHard work continues to upgrade Peace Dale

A Rhode Island FolktaleSeth McCombs draws from his childhood imaginings for a children’s book featuring an intrepid quahogger and dangerous sea monsters. Old Salty Dog: A Rhode Island Folktale is birthed from Seth’s early love of Narragansett Bay. “I wondered at the creatures I found in the shallows. I read every book the Warwick library had on marine life and imagined everything I read about what was lurking just out of sight.” A lifelong Rhode Islander, the author grew up in Warwick, where he recently returned to live with his wife Mindy.

Seth learned to SCUBA dive as an adult and knows firsthand what lies under the waves, but never forgot what he dreamed up as a child. He also has a strong respect for those who ply their trade on the water.

“It’s a real tough gig. Our local guys de-serve a little mythologizing.”

Seth’s cartoon style drawings com-plement the rhyming tale. A page of art-work at the end of the story invites chil-dren to look back and find sea creatures hidden in the illustrations. The book is sold throughout Rhode Island. Online the book is available on Amazon and Seth’s website. The first 1,000 copies – half of which are already sold – bear the subtitle A Rhode Island Folktale. Future editions will omit the subtitle to appeal to a larger New England audience. “I wanted the first edition to be something cool for Rhode Islanders to feel belongs to them.” www.artofsethmccombs.com –Cindy VanSchalkwykP

SWEET CHARITY

DESIgN AND STYLE

Martha Stewart’s American Made is an awards program that cel-ebrates emerging artisans and artists who have channeled their passion for design or style into small business-es that are turning out well-crafted products. This year, there were 800 “finalists,” from which ten award win-ners will be chosen. Each winner will receive $10,000, the opportunity to be featured on MarthaStewart.com and in Martha Stewart Living, and marketing and PR assistance to de-velop their businesses.

Two of those finalists have busi-nesses in southern Rhode Island: Jim Hamann, of Duparquet and East Coast Tinning in East Greenwich; and Read McKendree, of Huxter in Watch Hill. Jim’s nomination is in design/furniture and home accessories and Read’s is in style/fashion.

Inspired by New England’s marine motifs and outdoor sports, Read used the two-tone shading of his favor-ite long board to create a two-tone 100% cotton shirt. A nautical map of Watch Hill as well as the stripes on

summer deck chairs became elbow patch or pocket accents for men’s and women’s oxford-styled shirts. Those cheery stripes also appear in heavy cotton “popovers” and fabric belts. Read has said that he wanted to combine luxury and utility in clothing that would be instantly recognized as linked to New England, where they are made and marketed. For more info, see huxtergoods.com.

Jim’s love of copper pans and skil-lets began with the purchase of a large copper stockpot from a shuttered res-taurant in France. He touts the even heat of copper for home cooks and re-nowned chefs alike. Jim began by re-furbishing well-used copper pots and moved into making them from scratch just a year ago. Raw copper “bowls” are made on a lathe, fitted with cast-iron handles and then hand-swiped with tin – the original non-stick sur-face. Jim values the luxury inherent in using three simple elements to make his beautiful and oh-so-functional copper sauté pans. Take a look, at du-parquet.com. –Johnette Rodriguez

Grab a few friends and come soak in the live music, food and fun at the It’s Five O’clock Somewhere party event on September 13 from 1-10pm. Hosted by The Ocean State Animal Coalition, the exciting event will be supporting the well-being of Rhode Island’s animals and children pet re-sponsibility awareness. Guests will be provided with tropical drink spe-cials and vendors offering up hand-made items as well as free pizza or chowder. There will be live perfor-mances jamming out all day long coupled with a silent auction, raffles, arts and crafts and so much more. $25; includes the chance at one of two grand prizes – a Block Island getaway or a sports package. 321 Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut. 467-6722, www.osac.org

Get ready to enjoy a beautiful day on the greens followed by an excel-lent dinner at the 12th annual Mat-ty’s Golf Tournament for Epilepsy on September 20. The tournament will do a big part in helping support and raise awareness about the Matty Fund, which focuses on taking care of those suffering from epilepsy. You’ll have a great time putting on the gor-geous links at the Richmond Country Club in Richmond. Those who wish to take part in this awesome event are urged to sign up as soon as pos-sible as spots for the tournament will most certainly sell out fast. $150 per person for cart, green fees and din-ner; $100 for a tee sign; $40 for din-ner only. 74 Sandy Pond Road, Rich-mond. 789-7330, www.MattyFund.org. –Chris Medeiros

PENdING uNdER CONSTRuCTION


Robin Kall is accustomed to dealing with a particular type of emergency. The plane

is about to start boarding when a hapless traveller has only just real-ized that she’s forgotten a crucial component of her beach vacation: a good book. This means trouble –she’s too hurried to pick through the airport bookseller on her own, and she needs a great read. The solution? Call Robin.

“I get S.O.S calls all the time” says Robin. As the woman behind WHJJ’s enormously popular talk radio show, Reading With Robin, she’s become a booklover’s guru – what her daughter calls the “Fairy Bookmother.” She sits at a corner table of Felicia’s Café in East Greenwich. A stack of five books on her left, a raspberry iced tea on her right and a laptop encased in hot pink plastic with her smartphone on top. Picking up the phone, she holds it up and mimes video chatting with the friend in need at the airport book-store. “Wait, wait, I can’t see it! Okay – that looks the latest Jane Green. It’s great. Pick that.”

Originally from Long Island, Rob-in moved here with her husband in 1985. While her two children – one boy and one girl – were growing up, Robin participated in school book

fairs and was involved in planning events at the Providence Public Li-brary. Her career in radio started as a frequent caller to the John Depetro show. She got so popular as a caller that WHJJ asked her to come in as a producer on Saturday mornings, and a little less than a year later she pitched her own show. “I thought, what subject could I speak to pas-sionately as books?” She got the 7–8am Saturday morning slot, and Reading With Robin was born.

Books may seem like an unlikely theme for a radio talk show. Listen to a few of Robin’s interviews, and the show’s popularity quickly makes sense. She starts with books that she loves, and jumps straight to the authors. Robin doesn’t pay heed to classic lit crit questions about theme or style. “I can’t stand those ques-tions,” says Robin. “I like to just chat. I like just this freeform.” Instead, she connects to the authors through a shared love of books and reading – authors are without exception book people, after all. “If I have them on the phone, I’m gonna be like ‘So when do you write…’ No! I’m going to be like, what are you doing? What did you just bake?” On Reading With Robin, books are the catalysts for connec-tion, leading readers to connect with

authors and with each other. What started as a book-themed

talk show airing at 7am Saturday mornings has grown into a year-round calendar filled with readings, charity functions, interviews and events across Rhode Island and the East Coast. “I feel like I sort of creat-ed this book world in Rhode Island,” says Robin. She’s not overestimat-ing her literary clout. Reading With Robin aired for over ten years, start-ing in 2002. Along with the events and readings she’s organized, Robin has connected thousands of Rhode Islanders to bestselling authors. She acts as a middle-woman – she con-nects authors with their fans, navi-gating the space between the books that she loves and the people who write them.

In person, Robin exudes verve and charm. Her words tumble out on top of each other; sentences over-lap, and the conversation ricochets between personal anecdotes, book recommendations and passionate praise for her favorite authors, many of whom have become her personal friends after interviewing with her or attending an event she organized. In the space of ten minutes, she tosses off the names of over 15 authors and their most recent or upcoming titles.

They include Sarah McCoy (The Bak-er’s Daughter), Ann Hood (The Obitu-ary Writer), Christina Hague (Come To The Edge), Jennifer Weiner (All Fall Down), Jodie Picoult (Leaving Time) and Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being A Wallflower). Out of con-text, the names read like a roundup of some of today’s rockstar authors and bestselling titles; from Robin’s perspective, they are friends and ac-quaintances with their own eccen-tricities, charms and faults.

Long before her radio show, Robin was reaching out to authors whose books she admired. She began an email correspondence with Jodie Pi-coult in 1997; she liked Jodie’s first novels and found out that the author was a fellow Long Islander. “In the subject line I wrote, ‘West Rules East Sucks,’ because that’s a very Long Island thing to do,” she recounts. While writing My Sister’s Keeper, which is set in Providence, Jodie would consult with Robin about Rhode Island via AOL Instant Mes-sage. The book and the author are practically the same thing – if she likes the book, she likes the author, and she wants to chat. When Robin and her daughter went to Los Ange-les on vacation, they took the oppor-tunity to grab a pancake breakfast

with Stephen Chbosky – “I love you, Robin, even though I’ve only met you once,” he says in a video posted on her website.

Although Reading With Robin is no longer on the air, she continues to post audio interviews on her web-site, along with blog posts (called “Musings”), an events calendar and short reviews written by friends and fans. Readers can find her on Twitter, where she has over 1,000 followers, and on her active Facebook page. She often promotes events and or-ganizes meet-ups for any interested booklovers online. “I also started a sorority in college,” she says. “I’m like a party planner.” Other posts consist of shout-outs to authors and fans, praise for books she likes and snapshots of her daily life, all inter-spersed with pictures of her corgi. Robin also started her own charity, the Love, Carol foundation, honoring her mother’s memory and support-ing breast cancer research. Proceeds from her events benefit the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Robin started two local book clubs that are still going strong – the Mon-day Night Bookclub, which meets once per month in the Providence area, and the Temple Bookclub, a synagogue-based club. Robin herself doesn’t regularly attend – she has

too much to read already – although she does stop by if the club is read-ing something she loves. In some ways, she belongs to a book club of one. She reads the books she loves, and then sings their praises. She says that she isn’t interested in criticizing or reviewing; she’d rather spend that time reading the next book. She calls the books she reads “contemporary fiction,” and fits them under the um-brella of the Reading With Robin brand. This brand of books isn’t for everyone, and Robin doesn’t mind – as in every aspect of her career, she goes where her passion for reading takes her.

This fall, booklovers can find Robin at An Evening With Authors on Oc-tober 8, featuring Dani Shapiro, John Searles and Susie Jane Gilman, or the Hood on the Hill event, celebrat-ing author Ann Hood and the release of her latest novel, An Italian Wife, on October 25. Her website, Twit-ter and Facebook are continuously updated with blog posts and book talk. Robin is part radio personal-ity, the head of a charity, an events planner and a personal shopper; all of her identities are tied together by her love of reading. It seems like the readers love her back. Find more info on her events on Facebook – search Reading with Robin – or at www.RobinKall.com

1 Take a Helicopter TourIf you’ve seen all of Rhode Island by land and boat, it’s time to take to the air. Bird’s Eye View Helicopters offers aerial tours of Aquidneck

Island, the Newport Mansions, Narragansett Bay and all of the local lighthouses. Or, if just being carted around in a helicopter isn’t enough of an adventure for you, learn to fly one with an introductory lesson. 211 Airport Access Road, Middletown. 843-8687, www.riaerial.com

2 Visit an IslandBlock Island isn’t just a summer playground – it’s gorgeous in the fall, too, and has the added bonus of being significantly less crowded. The Fast Ferry leaves

from Point Judith daily through December, and has you on the island in 30 minutes. The Taste of Block Island is happening September 26-28. Besides discounts at island restaurants and wine and beer tastings, there is a whole weekend of fun happening, plus off-season rates at some hotels. www.biferry.com, www.blockislandchamber.com

3 Drink at a Beach BarIf you avoided the boozy Misquamicut Strip during the summer months, we really can’t blame you. But now, there’s nothing stopping you from wandering

in off the beach, settling yourself in an Adirondack chair at The Andrea, and enjoying a rum punch or two. Paddy’s and The Windjammer are also open through September, but they’re weather dependent – basically, if it’s a nice day, you’re good to go – but it doesn’t hurt to call first. The Andrea: 89 Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut. 348-8788, www.andreahotel.net. Paddy’s: 159 Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut. 596-2610, www.pad-dysbeach.com. The Windjammer: 321 Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut. 322-0504, www.atlanticbeachpark.com

Enjoy the quiet serenity of Block Island in the early fall

Enjoy the last weeks of summer,

now that the tourists are gone

By Julie Tremaine

Sure, July and August are fantastic months in southern Rhode Is-land. The weather is gorgeous, the water is warm, the dark and stormys are flowing… but the lines are in full force at every restaurant, the beach traffic

is backed all the way up Route 4, and if you’re actually planning on making your way to the shore to enjoy it, you’d better leave your house at 7am.

Don’t get me wrong – tourists are an invaluable part of our economy, and we’d be selfish to not want to share our embarrassment of coastal riches with them – but now that they’ve cleared out, it’s pretty nice to be able to enjoy the last of the warm weather without them. Here are 20 ways to get the most out of the rest of the summer.

4 Ride a BikeMaybe you’re not exactly the passionately athletic type. If you’re not signing up for

IronMan competitions just for the fun of it, you might enjoy a slightly easier form of exercise. Try electric biking. Pedego Electric Bikes in Wickford rents powered bicycles by the hour – you’re still pushing the pedals, but you’ve got a little boost behind you when you’re headed up a hill. It’s most of the workout with half of the work – but still enough to earn yourself an ice cream reward after-wards. 1 Brown Street, Wickford. 675-2000, www.pedegorhodeisland.com

5 Head to the ValleyYawgoo Valley is a tourist destination in both summer and winter, but the fall is just

for us. While the water park remains open until Labor

Day, September boasts three fun events for locals: Dawgie Pawdle dog swim on the 6th, BoldrDash on the 13th and the Exeter Fall Festival on the 20th. 160 Yawgoo Valley Road, Exeter. www.yawgoo.com.

6 Find Your OmWhile Natural Fitness’s beach yoga is winding down come Labor Day (run out

and try it if you can), indoor classes can still be taken at the beachside studio. 76 Narragansett Av-enue, Narragansett. www.naturalfitnessyoga.com.

7 Take a StaycationYou probably couldn’t afford a stay at a five-star hotel in Newport in July, but all

that changes after Labor Day. The Chanler at Cliff Walk (which overlooks First Beach and is home

to the impeccable Spiced Pear restaurant), The Inn at Castle Hill (with its rolling lawn perfect for seaside cocktails and its fine dining establishment inside) and Vanderbilt Grace (with a roof deck above and Muse by Jonathan Cartwright inside) all offer off-season deals and staycation packag-es. In Watch Hill, the Ocean House has put togeth-er a winemaker’s weekend where you can bottle your own blend at Jonathan Edwards Winery, then share (or not share) your creation afterwards. The Chanler: 117 Memorial Boulevard, Newport. 847-1300, www.thechanler.com. Castle Hill: 590 Ocean Drive, Newport. 849-3800, www.castlehillinn.com. Vanderbilt Grace: 41 Mary Street, Newport. 846-6200, www.gracehotels.com/vanderbilt. Ocean House: 1 Bluff Avenue, Westerly. 584-7000, www.oceanhouseri.com

8 Be a Beach BumEarlier this year, we caused some waves (see what we did there?) when we pub-

lished a story about South County’s secret beaches. While we’re sorry if we blew up your secret spot, the good news is that you don’t need it for the rest of the season. Venture back to Scarborough Beach to

remind yourself how fun it is to splash in those waves, or hang with the surfers on Narragansett Town Beach, without having to park five miles away and hike in. www.riparks.com

9 Hit the Water on a KayakIf you prefer water sports to sittin on the beach, visit the Kayak Centre. This water sports outfitter in Wickford offers daily demos and several

popular kayak instruction programs. Every weekend, the centre offers Oceanplay classes, which are daylong excursions that teach different kayak skills. There are six different workshops – all of which offer lunch – including one for kids only. 9 Phillips Street, Wickford. 295-4400, www.kayakcentre.com

10 Eat LocalThe hottest table in South County on a summer day is at Matu-nuck Oyster Bar. If you’ve ever tried to go on a Saturday after-

noon, only to discover there was a two hour wait, you know that particular pain. Matunuck Oyster Bar serves delicious local seafood, with vegetables from the restaurant’s own farm. The oysters, straight from the restaurant’s oyster flats in Salt Pond, don’t get any fresher. Once the tourist crowd heads back to, well, wherever they came from, there’s a lot more room for us locals, both inside and out on the waterfront patio. 629 Succotash Road, South Kingstown. 783-4202, www.rhodyoysters.com

11 Tour Narragansett Bay from the WaterNow through Columbus Day, Rhode Island Bay Cruises offers a Lighthouse Cruise and Newport Harbor Tour. The cruise showcases

10 iconic Rhode Island lighthouses and some of the state’s most beautiful properties, like Castle Hill and Hammersmith Farm in Newport, as well as up-close views of several of Narragansett Bay’s small islands like Rose, Goat and Prudence. 1347 Roger Williams Way, North Kingstown. 295-4040, www.rhodeislandbaycruises.com

12 Go on an AdventureWhile the weather is still warm, exhaust your inner thrill seeker by renting a jet ski or a scooter at Gansett Rides. What’s better than a

jaunt down Ocean Road with the wind in your hair? Speeding unencumbered through the waves. Get it out of your system now before the winter sets in and your adventure-seeking gets you frostbite. 145 Boon Street #7, Narra-gansett. 363-9550, www.gansettrides.com

13 Clam UpYou know what it’s like: you’ve spent a long day basking in the sun at the beach. You’ve

got salt on your skin and sand between your toes. The only thing in the world that you want is a basket of per-fectly fried clams, with a side of clam cakes and chow-der. Yeah, you and the 200 other people in front of you in line at that clam shack. What you might not realize is that most of the clam shacks in South County are open well into the fall, some year-round. Champlin’s in Galilee (256 Great Island Road, Narragansett. 783-3152, www.champlins.com) is one of the year-round places. Fish comes straight off the boat, into the fryer, to be en-joyed by you (even in the coldest temperatures) while you watch the Block Island Ferry set sail. The same at the other delicious Galilee mainstay, George’s of Gali-lee (250 Sand Hill Cove Road, Narragansett. 783-2306, www.georgesofgalilee) which has a huge patio perfect for sipping a Dark and Stormy and watching the waves come in off Salty Brine Beach.

14 Treat Yo’SelfYes, sure. You can techinically get ice cream at any time of the year. But noth-

ing tastes better than a cone enjoyed in the sun-shine. When it’s made locally from farm fresh in-gredients, even better. Brickley’s (two locations in

Narragansett and Wakefield, www.brickleys.com) closes down for the season in October, so you’d better enjoy the seasonal flavors while they last. The same goes for St. Clair Annex (141 Bay Street, Watch Hill. 348-8407) and Aunt Carrie’s (1240 Ocean Road, Narragansett. 783-7930, www.aunt-carriesri.com). Make sure you enjoy at least one more scoop while the weather holds out.

15 Join the Coast GuardAfter a long, involuntary absence from the local dining scene (thanks, Hur-

ricane Sandy) The Coast Guard House is finally, fully reopened. While the dining room is open year round – and after the storm renovations has a bet-ter ocean view than ever – the deck has the added benefit of Vitamin D while you sip your cocktail. Now that the crowds have dispersed, you have plenty of time to stay and enjoy a second one be-fore heading downstairs to watch the sunset over dinner. 40 Ocean Road, Narragansett. 789-0700, www.thecoastguardhouse.com

Brickley’s is a sweet treat all season long

Walking into North End Suds Laundromat/Dry Cleaners, you are in-stantly drawn into the details and de-cor of this year old facility located at 39 Pierce Street in the Historic North End of Westerly. The outdoor property and parking lot welcomes you with beauti-ful plants, flowers, outdoor seating and a community herb garden. Once inside you realize this is not the laundromat of the past. The décor is that of an old world Italian village mixed with techno-logically driven, state of the art equip-ment. With a laundry associate greet-ing you as you arrive you realize the handful of quarters you lugged in with you is no longer necessary.

North End Suds operates as an auto-mated store where traditional coin laun-dry machines have been replaced with card readers and change machines have been replaced with kiosks. These kiosks dispense ‘debit cards’ that customers can add value to and that start ma-chines. The system maintains the cus-tomer’s card balance and allows them to revalue their card with either cash or a credit card. With the main focus on the customer, the friendly environment boasts Free Wi/Fi so you never miss a thing. They also have a large selection of brand new magazines and reading materials as well as two flat screen tvs, surround sound music, an ATM machine and vending machines. The store is fully staffed during window operating

hours and has 24 hour video surveil-lance.

Offering a wide variety of services in-cluding self-service, wash/dry/fold, dry cleaning provided by Courtesy Clean-ers, pickup and delivery, as well as an array of service for corporate accounts, North End Suds is well known as the area’s premier laundromat/dry cleaners. With an additional vehicle in the works, more routes will be added to the pick-up and delivery schedule to meet the needs of their growing customer base.

The mission of this establishment, af-ter creating an ultra-cool environment for customers to receive exceptional quality and care of their garments, is also to give back to their community. An onsite clothing closet known as Syd-ney’s Closest, offers free new and gen-tly used children’s clothing available to anyone in need, along with the commu-nity herb garden which is in full bloom and ready for the picking. They have several partnerships with local organi-zations which they support with in store fundraisers, such as The Rhode Island Blood Center, the Johnnycake Center of Westerly, Frank Olean Center and the Warm Center.

North End Suds, located at 39 Pierce Street in Westerly, is open seven days from 6am–10pm. For further information please contact North End Suds at 401-348-7087 or visit northendsuds.com.

On Green PondA couple brings a 1950s cottage into the 21st century

while preserving its original charm

For the better part of three de-cades, Carla and Dennis Bowman would travel during the summer months from their home in Richmond, Virginia, to Carla’s native Rhode Island. Like many visitors, they would often peruse the real estate listings as a casual pastime while here. In recent years, as their chil-dren left the nest, the couple began to consider more seriously a summer-meets-semi-retirement home in the Ocean State. The two found a cottage on Wakefield’s Green Hill Pond built in 1958 with a traditional floor plan that was just too good to pass up. It became theirs in December 2010.

“It has some unique features includ-ing a central fireplace which you don’t see in modern buildings,” says Dennis. The home’s as-is charm was perfectly suited for the couple’s many summer and occasional year-round visits – stays which also helped the two determine what future renovations would better

suit their needs and lifestyle. “The bones were great and the previ-

ous owner did a great job maintaining it, but the kitchen and bathroom were at least 20 years old,” explains Carla. “We knew we would update them.” The two turned to designer Prudence Stoddard at R.I. Kitchen & Bath, an award winning design-build firm in Warwick special-izing in kitchen and bath renovations. “I dreamed it up from the beginning and worked with them for many years on it,” says Prudence about the three phase project which included reconfiguring an existing bathroom, creating a new bath-room, and completely renovating the inefficient galley-style kitchen. “They were mostly outdated. One of the baths had one of those old metal freestanding showers. We wanted to create a powder room and also give more space to the master bath.”

As the trio discussed, planned and ul-timately worked on the first bathroom

project together, often with the Bow-mans meeting Prudence on site then leaving her to execute their vision, a strong working relationship was built, even from hundreds of miles away. “It was a combination of a really creative design combined with detailed plan-ning,” says Dennis. “When you have ev-ery square millimeter laid out as to what it will look like, you feel really comfort-able leaving them to do the job.”

Carla explains that the first project was the downstairs bath which they wanted to redesign with more sink stor-age and a smarter layout. “We took out a tub and put in a really nice shower, so basically cosmetic updating and in-creased storage,” she explains. Though cosmetic, the project had myriad lay-ers and Prudence had her work cut out for her. “As I looked at the spaces, I had to reconfigure everything; all of the plumbing fixtures,” she says. “We had to expand the master bath and

reduce the second bath.”It wasn’t all part of a master plan, say

the Bowmans. That is, the three stage project wasn’t the goal from the out-set, but as one project was completed, it made logical sense to move on to another, especially since the initial one was a seamless progression with Pru-dence’s management. “We didn’t think we [would] end up putting in another bathroom; we did more than we initially thought we do,” says Carla.

“It kind of developed along the way,” agrees Prudence. “The project grew into a larger project as we went through the design process… The scope of the work was really extensive like adding a bathroom where there wasn’t one before. There was quite a bit of electrical and plumbing, a lot of add-ons; things to make to make living there easier for them.”

Experienced renovators, Dennis and Carla admit working on the Wakefield

home remotely was a luxury. “We didn’t actually have to live [there] throughout the project,” says Carla with sense of relief.

“We would communicate a lot via email,” explains Prudence. “It was a fun process to do from a distance. They were great people to work with… they tended to be very productive because we needed to accomplish a lot while they were here.”

The principal challenges of the third and final project, the kitchen, was the original galley-style lay out alongside the fireplace, which wasn’t going any-where. Instead of futilely attempting to remove it, Prudence decided to em-brace the footprint but rearrange key components including the location of the oven and refrigerator. “We built out a wall between the kitchen and living room… we ended up with a wall oven

and a wall microwave, a range and very large refrigerator, one great big sink and another little, secondary sink,” describes Carla. The finished product, complete with a custom ceiling treat-ment, is a space the couple can both work in and enjoy.

“Usually I offer a few solutions that are in some way equally good,” explains Prudence. “I may have my personal fa-vorite… but together, jointly, we pick one that works best for their use. In the kitchen, [there were] several possibili-ties. The back of brick fireplace backs up to it and that can’t move. Now, the cabi-net area is much longer than it had been. We almost doubled their cabinet space by actually putting in a smaller bay win-dow which most people don’t do today.” Every inch, says the Bowmans, was con-sidered and utilized.

“Now we have this huge work area,” says Carla. “Before, it was almost impos-sible if someone wanted to help you – you couldn’t even open the refrigerator. Now people can get into little areas. We used every little inch of space, even a space four inches wide we were going to cover, and we ended up with a floor to ceiling wine rack.”

The care and craftsmanship through-out the project, says Dennis, was re-markable. “I can’t speak highly enough about the construction people as well,” he says. “With an older house you’re not working with something perfectly square.” He says that Dave Meagan was instrumental throughout and the “entire workmanship” of the projects were to be admired. Even when Hurricane Sandy blew through the area, the crews were down less than 24 hours and despite

downed trees, a storm surge and power outages, the crew worked off a genera-tor to stay on time and on budget.

Despite bringing the home into the 21st century, the Bowmans were careful to preserve the home’s charming cot-tage aesthetic. In lieu of a high gloss polished granite countertop, the two selected a more casual honed granite, a matte version of the in-demand coun-ter surface. Outside, the private dock offers instant access to Green Pond, which they enjoy on their boat and kayaks. Altogether, three projects and nearly four years later, the new chapter of the house on Green Pond begins.

Jennifer Serafin (a certified laser specialist) and Pamela Lutes (RN, BSN) are best friends who dreamed of opening a spa together, and who finally made that dream come true. Narragansett’s Inspire Medical Spa and Wellness Center has been open since February, offering spa, holistic and cosmetic procedures. Here, Jen-nifer dishes on looking and feeling great in the fall.

I love that Spa by Inspire is a com-bination of holistic treatments like reiki and reflexology, and medical procedures like Botox and Juvederm. That’s not a blend you see often. What inspired that?As business partners and best friends, we both have personal interests in cos-metic aesthetics and healing therapies. We liked the idea of blending both in-ner and outer beauty services in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that cares about the person as a whole.

How do you determine whether someone needs something minimal, like a facial with an added chemical peel, or a more intensive procedure like phototherapy?Skin care is a multi-faceted process, facials support basic skin health, along with professional products, and phototherapy and injections address aging and damaged skin with incred-ible results. Facials would therefore be a routine maintenance program, and phototherapy and injections will restore a more youthful appearance.

Let’s talk about sun damage. Is there any way to reverse it? Because let me tell you, I’m a beach bum, and every year my guilt and anxiety over laying out on the beach and damaging my skin grows more and more.Actually BBL (Broad Band Light) addresses just that issue. Stanford University performed a 12-year study that proves that BBL changes the RNA and DNA of skin cells to resemble those of more youthful skin. What that means for you is

that the molecular structure of your skin actually changes, not only will you look younger but your skin will physically be younger after a series of treatments.

I’ve heard that Broad Band Light la-ser therapy not only helps with sun damage, it has other skin benefits. What are they? Other than reversing the signs of aging, specific results include: de-creased pigmented lesions, such as age spots and freckles, vascular le-sions, such as spider veins and rosa-cea, hair removal, skin texture, pore size, elasticity and collagen renewal.

I think that when people think about cosmedical procedures, they as-sume Botox – which smoothes out lines – is the only option. How else can we enhance our looks with mini-mally invasive treatments?There are a variety of options for neuromodulators (Botox, Xeomin and Dysport) that soften and erase lines and wrinkles. They allow the muscles to relax and reduce the facial expressions that create the wrinkles and lines that age us the most. Fill-ers such as Radiesse, Restylane and the newer Belotero offer wonderful results with restoring volume as well as filling deeper and superficial lines, creating a more youthful appearance.

Let’s talk about facials. What do you recommend for September, if I’ve spent the summer at the beach?Every person is different. Our recom-mendation for each person is custom-ized based on what bothers them the most and their personal skin type and condition. We love creating relationships with our clients, and creating an overall plan that can be achieved over time.

What’s this Vanquish I’m hearing so much about?We cannot say enough about the Van-quish. Vanquish targets the core of the body: the abdominal area, love han-dles, muffin top and bra fat, and they are currently creating a thigh attach-ment. The Vanquish kills fat cells in the treated area, and contours the body as well. It is a radio-frequency device that targets fat with fine-tune heating. The process feels like you are laying under a heating pad. The treatments last 30-45 minutes and require a series of four treatments. We think it is a great non-invasive alternative to liposuction.

Sales & Service

There are three things I’m in-sanely passionate about – my kids/family, my cozy home and all things written including books, blogs and of course writing. When the opportunity crops up to combine any or all of these obsessions – look out – because my Gemini traits can go a little crazy and you’ll witness more positive energy than you might be able to handle!

My journey into parenting started 21 years ago with the adoption of our beautiful daughter, paving the way for the arrival of seven more kids. As a woman who was pregnant for a de-cade, and at one time had four tots under the age of three, (and lived to tell about it!) you can imagine how ex-cited I was to discover South County’s newest parenting playground – Mama Bird has just landed in town.

Appropriately, Mama Bird, located on quaint Main Street in historic Wakefield, opened this past Mother’s Day. When I visited this sweet parenting boutique for the first time, I immediately felt like I was in one of my best girlfriend’s homes. Sunlight trickled in through the large, glass windows showcasing the amazing tree house located in the back of the store where kids are encouraged to play and have fun.

I’m greeted right away by Mama Bird’s creator and owner, Erin Sher-man and can’t help but notice the little spring in her step as she invites me to have a look around at the adorable dis-plays of mama, baby and child-related merchandise.

Without a doubt I’m attracted to the cute and colorful palettes of in-fant clothes, toys and accessories, but that’s not what grabbed my attention. This wasn’t just a store, this was an ex-perience. Once I ventured well inside I saw a beautiful studio room set peace-fully in the back where comfy mats were rolled up and thoughtfully set aside within this spacious layout. Erin soon joined me and excitedly began to share what Mama Bird was all about – a solutions and yoga studio that is com-pletely eco-friendly.

A certified Child Play Yoga instructor with a background in childhood educa-tion, Erin’s passion and vision for Mama Bird was to establish a location in South County where parents, babies and kids can enjoy the many benefits of a healthy

lifestyle through the practice of yoga.She beams as she explains that Mama

Bird is a baby and children’s lifestyle store and studio focused on provid-ing thoughtfully selected natural, local and organic products, parent solution, and studio classes. “We are both a lo-cal Rhode Island haven for neighboring and visiting moms (and dads!) as well as a national resource for all parents. As I love to tell my customers – Mama Bird is a soft place to land,” she smiles.

Mama Bird ‘s merchandise is laid out according to the different stages of childhood. The mama-to-be section has some of the hottest trends in maternity and post-partum wear I’ve ever seen. For instance, now women can walk into the labor and delivery room wearing chic push gowns – made from all-or-ganic cotton. Who knew? There are also terrific swaddle wraps and some of the sweetest outfits like handmade, design-er terry pants made from organic tea towels to dress your little guy or gal in.

All of Erin’s inventory is eco-friendly including the great selection of toys and blocks, clothing and diapers, baby lotions, bath products and oils. Some of her most popular items are gor-geous necklaces that moms can wear with their best or most casual outfits and their baby can safely teethe on.

Mama Bird is definitely a place where moms can get together and hang out with their kids and enjoy a cup of cof-fee and some great conversation. Erin has created a cozy nook in the back of the store with a comfy sitting area that

is perfect for nursing or just cuddling with your baby or younger kids. She shares that one of the best parts of her day is when women (dads are invited as well!) drop in and chat about moth-erhood and ask advice from either Erin or the other moms on the couch. “It’s warm and welcoming and a place for parents to relax and bond,” she invites.

Another very important resource available is the yoga classes offered in-house. Here you’ll find yoga classes from pre-natal to teens and be on the lookout for their Lantern Tutoring classes that will be offered this fall – perfect for kids who may need either some extra help with school work or just a quiet space to do some homework. Best of all, the in-structor is available to sit and share aca-demic and organizational strategies with parents to help make the new school year as easy and successful as possible.

As Erin puts it so wonderfully, “Sup-port can mean a lot of things when it comes to this life stage; but let’s face it, preparing to become and becom-ing a parent is one beautiful, but also bumpy ride. Mama Bird was created to provide a destination for just a ride... one that is open, warm and supportive.”

Listen, I’m just going to say it. I have no shame: I’m a beach bum, and I’m proud of it. As soon as the weather turns just barely warm enough, you’ll find me perched in the sand with a stack of mag-azines and sunglasses out to there. What you won’t find me with, though, is a sun hat, which I diligently bring with me ev-ery sunny day, and presently leave in my beach bag for the first three hours of the day. By the end of the season, my hair has seen better days. It’s dry from expo-sure to saltwater and wind, and believe it or not, it’s sunburned.

Still, I live in denial about these things. If I can convince myself that SPF 50 is going to save me from long-term sun damage, I can easily do the same that my hair isn’t going to suffer sun-worshipping consequences, ei-ther. So when I walked into Westerly’s Uptown Salon for some post-summer hair revival, I was a little taken aback by my hair being described as “fried.” It can’t be that bad, can it? I wondered to myself as I sat down in Sarah Potter’s chair, and she surveyed the damage. Sure, my curls seemed drier than usual, and there was more than a little frizz, but I attributed that to summer humid-ity. We decided to do some repairing treatments to get my hair ready for fall fashion season.

First, the color. My hair has never seen permanent dye – I love the color and the natural highlight variations it already has – but the dryness definitely made the top of my head and the ends of my hair a little bit lighter. Sarah applied a hydrating glaze with a chestnut tint to it – the glaze would amp up shine and gloss, while the tint would replenish my natural color for around six weeks. As I sat under the dry-er, letting the glaze penetrate, I watched

people buzz in and out of Uptown. I’d call the place Safari Chic – part glamor-ous, serene spa and part wild, with ani-mal print touches all over the space. A group of women, clearly old friends who had booked their appointments togeth-er, laughed and chattered in the corner. It made me think of Dolly Parton’s salon, Truvy’s, from Steel Magnolias (without, you know, all the crying).

After the glaze had set, Sarah washed it out, and applied a Moroc-canoil Restorative Mask, which is a deep hydrating treatment that pene-trates moisture inside the hair, into the cuticle. It can be a once a week thing – which, lesson learned, I will definitely be doing next summer. Once that had done its work, Sarah applied some Moroccanoil Hydrating Cream, and gave me a blowout. As I saw my dry, straight hair taking shape, I couldn’t believe the difference. The color was richer than I’d seen it in months. The shine was incredible. And, despite the humidity and the ocean air when I left Uptown, my hair didn’t immediately re-frizz, like it had done every other time I had gotten a blowout this sum-mer. When I walked into the salon, I hadn’t thought that I had so much damage to deal with. When I left with glossy, gorgeous locks, I realized that ok, maybe I had. I vowed to never let the situation get that dire again… and to come back to Uptown for another hydrating treatment soon.

Fish and Chips

The Ocean’s BountyBeloved Matunuck mainstay Cap’n Jack’s has opened a new restaurant this summer: Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar. Read our review to find out how this restaurant is keeping things fresh and local – while of course, still serving those incredible des-serts from Cap’n Jack’s bakery.


For the past 43 years in South Kingstown, the Piemonte family has been serving seafood at their land-mark restaurant, Cap’n Jack’s. Their location, near East Matunuck Beach, has given them a steady stream of cus-tomers clamoring for fish and chips, chowder, clamcakes and fabulous homemade desserts. With the arrival of the Matunuck Oyster Bar across the way, Cap’n Jack’s decided to up the ante. They renovated their banquet room on the left side of the restau-rant and turned it into a more upscale dining experience with a raw bar. The Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar opened this spring, and after a day swimming in the surf at East Matunuck Beach, my friends and I stopped in to check it out.

The first thing you notice when you enter the Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar is the spectacular view of the salt marsh. The windows along the back wall pro-vide lots of light, making the space feel spacious and open. The restaurant has plenty of nicely spaced high top tables and lots of seating at the bar. If you choose to sit at the main bar, that provides the best views of the marsh, but seats are also available at the raw bar to if you want to observe them shucking. Also, a number of flat panel televisions were mounted around the restaurant... a great place to watch the

Red Sox or Patriots.The drink menu at the Salt Marsh

Pub & Raw Bar deserves special men-tion both for the variety and the val-ue. Cocktails (made with top shelf liquor) were in the $6-$8 range, and 23 oz. draft beers were a reasonable $6. Feeling very thirsty after our day

at the beach, we ordered a round of the pub’s specialty cocktails. I ordered an American Mule ($5.95): a refresh-ing combination of Tito’s Vodka, gin-ger beer and a dash of bitters (instead of the typical squeeze of lime). The drink was served in a copper mug over crushed ice, which kept the drink ice

cold – a real treat on a hot day. My friends opted for Spiked Arnold Palm-ers ($5.75) made with Deep Eddy’s Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade. We all thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails. Our waiter was fantastic, enthusiastic and great about keeping our drinks filled.

We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded good. I started with the Oyster Sam-pler ($10), which provided six oys-ters, a Cap’n Jack’s mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce and a wedge of lemon. I sampled East Beach Blondes (local from Ninigret Pond), Wild Goose (local from Narragansett Bay) and Giga-Mo-tos (imported from British Columbia). My friends (even the self-professed landlubber) ordered Stuffies ($2.95), which they praised for the crispy tops, moist interiors and overall clam flavor. Our table was really hungry, so we also split a half dozen clamcakes, which were flavorful and contained the most clams I’ve ever seen in clam cakes.

For our next course, I chose the summertime classic Lobster Roll ($17) served with crispy, well-salted French fries and coleslaw. The landlub-ber tried the Prosciutto and Arugula

Grilled Pizza ($13), and it was really good. I especially liked the slightly charred, crispy crust. She thought it could have used a bit more balsamic drizzle but enjoyed the sparse use of arugula. Sometimes arugula pizzas seem more like a salad than pizza, but not this one. My seafood loving friend ordered the house made Soft Pretzel ($7) topped with crab fondue. The fondue was more cheesy than crabby, which I thought was a good thing.

The desserts at the Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar (and Cap’n Jack’s next door) are handmade daily. As a kid, I remember a day at East Matunuck Beach wasn’t complete until we had stopped in at the Cap’n Jack’s takeout window to bring home a giant éclair or an apple turnover. On this day, my Key Lime Pie ($6) was pretty good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tart layer of lime. My friends competed for the largest serving of dessert with the Co-conut Cake ($9.50) winning the prize. The cake was light, with a good co-conut flavor but also hints of lemon. My friend said it was like “heaven in

her mouth.” With the bite I sampled, I have to agree. My other friend’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp ($7) was also a large serving and topped with a generous swirl of soft serve vanilla ice cream. It was very good, and she liked the lightness of the soft serve with her heavy fruit crisp.

Fall is a great time to head to East Matunuck Beach because the water is warm enough for swimming, and the tourists have left the state, leav-ing us to our own magnificent coast-line. After a swim or beach walk, stop into the Salt Marsh Pub & Raw Bar to enjoy a cocktail or a beer, a plat-ter of oysters and the view of the salt marsh. It’s a perfect end to a Rhode Island beach day.

So Delicious | Foodie Journal By Stacey Place

If you have a job you truly love and enjoy, it doesn’t feel like work at all. Such is the life for Dianne Mann, the owner of Nana’s Ice Cream, Gela-to & Candy Bar. A former investment banker, Dianne spent many days at Narragansett Beach with her children, often stopping at Nana’s in the Pier Marketplace for ice cream. When her children were in high school, Dianne purchased a beach house in the Pier and then in 2006 bought their favorite ice cream spot. According to Dianne, “I’ve been in flip flops ever since.”

Since 1985, Nana’s has been serving ice cream in Narragansett. After a trip to Italy with her daughter in 2006, Di-anne added gelato into the mix. Ge-lato has a smoother, creamier texture than ice cream and because gelato is made with milk instead of cream, it’s actually healthier and only contains 1-4 grams of fat. Dianne makes her gelato in small batches and imports many of her ingredients from Italy (everything except the milk and sugar). Custom-ers looking for gluten or lactose free products love the dairy-free fruit fla-vors like Blood Orange, Raspberry, Mango, Passion Peach or Passion Fruit. Nana’s signature gelato flavor is called “Nana’s Kiss.” This fan favorite is choc-olate mixed with Snickers, Kit Kats and Hershey Kisses. Because Nana’s gelato has become such a crowd pleaser, Di-anne now caters wedding receptions with her signature gelato bar. This season, Dianne has added three new flavors to her gelato repertoire – Key Lime, Cannoli and Coconut Mango.

Even though gelato is the current trend at Nana’s, the homemade ice cream still has its fans. The most popular flavors are Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cake Batter (con-trary to the nation’s most popular fla-vor – vanilla). Kids go crazy for the blue Cookie Monster and pink Bubble Gum flavors. Other popular flavors include Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel and Monster Mash, which is mixed with malted milk balls, M&Ms and cookie pieces. If you want to jazz up your ice cream, you can try a Koala Sundae, which is served in a homemade waffle cup bowl, or the

Beached Whale Sundae, which is served in a sand pail and topped with brownies, bananas, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry.

Nana’s has expanded from its origi-nal spot in the Pier Marketplace to additional stores in North Kingstown, Newport and Galilee. All of the loca-tions serve premium ice cream, gelato, soft serve and candy. For Dianne, the best part of owning Nana’s is being part of people’s memories and watch-ing the families come back year after year. She says, “Everyone who walks through our door is smiling and hap-py.” That sounds like reason enough to come back time and time again. 28A Pier Marketplace, Narragansett; 250 Sand Hill Cove Road, Narragan-sett; 6710 Post Road, North Kings-town; 348 Thames Street, Newport; 500-1900, www.nanasgelato.com.

You Can Run a 5K and Drink Wine TooOn September 21 at 11am, Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington

is hosting a very unique event called Vino & The Beasts. When you combine one part 5k, one part obstacle course and one part wine tasting, what do you get? A day of fun!

You don’t have to be an extreme sports junkie to take part in this event. Participants are allowed to run, jog or walk depending on their level of fit-ness. The water stations will feature samples of wine (water will be avail-able too), and at the conclusion of the race, there is a wine festival complete with food, music and of course wine. The 5k run/walk will send participants through the rugged terrain of the vineyard in scenic southeastern Con-necticut. The racecourse features 10-11 obstacles including some that will get you both very wet and very dirty (think crawling under wires suspended over a mud pit). Because some of the obsta-cles involve climbing (like Mt. Vino, a 12-foot climbing wall), race organizers recommend the participants should add some strength training into their

regular workouts.For the $75 entry fee, you receive a

Vino & The Beasts dri-fit shirt, Beast Run race bib with timing chip, event wine glass, tote bag and there is an after-party with live music and a com-plimentary wine tasting. Prizes will be awarded to the top performing ath-letes (overall and in each age group) and for best costumes. Race organiz-ers say, “bring your running shoes that can get muddy, your craziest costume and beastly attitude.” Be sure to reg-ister soon because this one of a kind event is sure to sell out. Registration begins at 8:30am. 74 Chester Main Road, North Stonington, CT. 860-535-0202, www.vinoandthebeasts.com, www.jedwardswinery.com.

RasaRasa is the third restaurant from chef/owner Sanjiv Dhar, the mas-termind behind Kabob and Curry in Providence and Rasoi in Pawtucket.

The full depth and breadth of In-dian cuisine is explored in Rasa’s food. For those who still think of Indian food only in terms of curries, prepare to be taken on a culinary journey through a vast and varied land of flavors, from the seafood of coastal western India, to the rich

meat dishes of the northern regions, to the East Asian influences evident in a dish like the golden-fried Cau-liflower 65. And, of course, you can get your curry fix, too.

Rasa incorporates all the classic fla-vors of India into a modern look and feel. The atmosphere is both stylish and inviting. Rasa also caters to veg-etarian, vegan and gluten-free diners. Stop in tonight and experience Indian food in a new and exciting way.

Nancy Reid Carr’s parents were understandably less than thrilled when she dropped out of college a year short of graduation and moved, more or less unannounced, to Santa Fe to pursue an artist’s dream. But sometimes in your life, a light just goes off – in this case, a flashbulb – and you have to choose between the safer path and doing what calls to you.

As a creative-writing major at Roger Williams University, Nancy was required to take a studio arts class to graduate and decided to try photography. She was immedi-ately hooked. “It came naturally to me, and my professor, Denny Moers, encouraged me to follow my artistic vision,” she recalls.

The southwest always held an al-lure for Nancy, but she knew nobody in Santa Fe. However, she soon found work at coffee shops, bartending and especially working for other photog-raphers, learning the craft while get-ting paid to frame and print. At a time when film and darkrooms still pre-vailed, she began experimenting with alternative processing, including pro-ducing positive black and white imag-es from large negatives and mounting the semi-transparent images on alu-minum with bolts and plexiglass.

It was a sign of things to come, al-though her career in photography took a detour into marriage –she met her husband, painter R. Michael Carr, at one of the cafes where she worked – and parenthood (her daughters, Thea and Dylan Rose, are now nine and six). Nancy took jobs as a portrait photog-rapher and even photographing horses

before she reacquainted herself with the idea of printing photographs on alumimum.

In the intervening years, digital had replaced film, and special printers us-ing highly adhesive ink enabled Nan-cy to print color on both flat sheets of metal and on pieces of aluminum that can be then shaped into jew-elry. Favored subjects include natu-ral patterns found in clouds and tree branches, female figures and manda-las, circular patterns traditionally used as a focus for meditation. “In all of my work, I try to create a calm, serene vibe,” says Nancy. “I like to find a har-monious place in chaotic structures.”

The process of printing on aluminum renders any white spaces transparent, allowing the shimmering metal to show through and lending a luminous, three-dimensional effect to Nancy’s photos. “It has changed the way I shoot,” she ex-plains. “If I see a beautiful green field full of trees and grasses, I don’t even bother now because there’s no white.” She has

also learned to oversaturate colors and tweak images to bring out contrasts that best show off the metal, lending a lumi-nosity to backlit clouds, for example.

Nancy exhibits her work at region-al art shows – including side-by-side with her husband at this year’s Wick-ford Art Festival – and sells via whole-salers to a variety of specialty shops, as well. The couple recently moved from cramped quarters in West War-wick to a new home in the Quidnes-sett area of North Kingstown that includes a shared 1,500-square-foot studio with enough space to welcome in customers and perhaps one day provide gallery space for their paint-ings and photos.

Photographer and oil painter work side-by-side, frequently seeking out each other’s opinions and feedback. “Although we don’t collaborate, we still communicate a lot,” says Nancy. “We’re kind of opposite personalities: he’s very mellow and laid-back, and I’m more high-strung and hot-headed, but if we were more similar we’d prob-ably butt heads.”

After stints in Santa Fe and Charles-ton, S.C., the Carrs are happy to be back in Michael’s home state and the place where Nancy first decided to fol-low her artistic heart. “Rhode Island is the only place in New England where we had any desire to live,” and having found the perfect house to raise their family and create their artwork, “we’re never moving again,” says Nancy.

So Entertaining | On Stage By Tony Pacitti

There are some serious spectral forces at work on Haunt the House’s full-length debut, Jack Rabbit Jones. Some of them are the ghosts of olde time mu-sic, simple and from the gut, the kinds of things that tend to wind up exorcised by studio polish and insincerity. Others are the astrally projected souls of a Who’s Who of local heavy hitters, like Allysen Callery, Amato Zinno of Vudu Sister, and Bessie Bessin of Pier Jump. But mostly what you hear are the ghosts of one man’s love and loss.

“I got married when I was 20. I ended up getting divorced at 22. I wasn’t ready for a relationship, marriage or anything like that,” says Will Houlihan, who start-ed Haunt the House as a solo project before putting together a band for the new record. “I was devastated about what had happened. Then I met a girl when I was about 24 or 25, and was just in the mode of trying to rebuild a family because I was so hurt about what had happened and I felt like that was what I needed again in my life. But I didn’t re-ally give myself the time to heal, didn’t give myself the time to grow, so I remar-ried. We were married for about three years, something had happened and we ended up getting a divorce.”

Add to that the fact that he has a son from each marriage, and that he didn’t find his love for music until after his sec-ond divorce.

“I was having a hard time making heads or tails of it. Is this even okay for me to be doing? I’ve always been the guy to go work three jobs. So I was struggling with whether or not this was

acceptable to do as a father.” Love, betrayal, regret, fear. These are

the ghosts that inhabit the dusty corners of Jack Rabbit Jones and Will channels them like a chord-strumming medium. One could argue that he got two life-times worth of whatever it is that drives other songwriters in just one decade, but at least they drive him. He turned it into something powerful, which isn’t to say he’s not a little bit broken – after all, a man who sings like he does can’t be faking it – but he’s too humble to brag about being stronger for it, or for saying that his music hits somewhere close to where a cynic like me might think faith belongs, which isn’t surprising consider-ing how significant a role his own beliefs play in his life and his music.

“It’s inextricable from my personal-ity. I see it as something integral to my being an artist. If I didn’t have that, I don’t know how inspired I’d be because naturally I tend towards being miserable and brooding. I think in the last couple of years God’s provided opportunity to show me that things aren’t always bleak. It’s been reiterated over and over again, even through my bleakest times.

“Everything that has happened has been a blessing. Even the things that haven’t been good in the moment. I look back and see that those things needed to happen,” he says. “This is my oppor-tunity to really pursue something and show them that if you believe in some-thing you should go for it. No matter what the obstacles are you can over-come them as long as you have good intentions, a good heart and patience.”

All of that pain and trust in some-thing bigger than himself are imbued with a heartbreaking scope and at-mosphere on Jack Rabbit Jones. Ac-cordion, mandolin, upright bass and often painfully beautiful harmonies fill out the space where Will’s voice and chords once lingered and disin-tegrated like sonic apparitions on his solo EP and in the intimate perfor-mances he built his reputation on.

This month, Will takes Haunt the House on the road with Bessie and Amato for a smattering of shows across New England, including a stop at Fall Fest at Misquamicut Beach on September 12.

“There’s an energy at a live show that you can’t get on a recording,” he says, and at this point whatever it is that drives him – pain, God, wanting to be something his boys will look up to – lights up his eyes.

“You finish a song on stage and that moment between finishing the last chord and the applause, if there is any, is magic. It’s like you put something out there and you let it go.”

Jim’s Dock

Iggy’s

“These are the biggest scallops I’ve ever seen on a fisherman’s platter in my entire life, ” were the sentiments of one of our staff members. Between the flaky and succulent fish, big butterfly shrimp, whole belly clams and clam cakes (extra points), everything had just the right amount of batter while still maintaining its fresh taste. Even the tartar sauce stood out. It was not too heavy and had a nice sweetness to it. 1175 Succotash Road, Wakefield. 783-2050, www.jimsdock.com.

Believe it or not, this fried fisherman’s platter was not as heavy as it looks. “I feel like I could still go swimming after,” said one of our staff members. We particu-larly liked how easy the fried shrimp were to eat, seeing as they did not have any tails. It was also a nice surprise to have both fried whole belly clams and clam strips to choose from. The fried fish was also very pleasing; the batter to fish ratio worked well, and the hand cut fries really topped it all off nicely. 256 Great Island Road, Narragansett. 783-3152, www.champlins.com.

“My grandfather always said that a sign of good chowder is one that’s thick enough so you can stand your spoon up in it – this you certainly can,” said one of our staff members. This was the only platter that included clam chowder and we’re so glad it did, especially since we could taste the dill while chewing on the big pieces of clam. Even the scallops were tasty, even though they were bay scallops as opposed to their bigger sea scallop counterparts. 1157 Point Judith Road, Narragansett. 783-5608. 889 Oakland Beach Avenue, Warwick. 737-9459, www.iggysdoughboys.com.

Bounty of the Bay

So Approved By Grace Lentini

Whether it’s hooked, dredged or caught in pots, we’re lucky to have amazing seafood at our beck and call. So, what better way to thank the hardworking fishermen and women than by eating lots and lots of what they catch. We sam-pled fisherman’s platters from across South County, and it’s just our opinion, but you should get out and try a few too.

With generous portions of lobster claws, large stuffed shrimp, stuffed mushrooms and stuffed fish, there was a little bit of everything for everyone. The stuffing really complemented the seafood. It was fresh and buttery. The scallops were also nice and meaty and maintained their texture. 38 Water Street, East Greenwich. 884-6363, www.finnsharborside.com.

As THE premier radiology practice and the first and only diagnostic imaging Center of Excellence in Rhode Island, RIMI is the ONLY practice to offer state-of-the-art 3T MRI in a community setting.

Unlike other radiology practices, all RIMI radiologists are subspecialized, which means your brain MRI will be read by a neuro radiologist or your child’s chest x-ray will be read by the only pediatric radiologists in the state.

RIMI’s commitment to world-class imaging means that the right exam will be done correctly the first time – ultimately saving you time and money. This is why the overall majority of Rhode Island physicians trust RIMI with their patients’ imaging, and why you should, too.
