Thursday, October 27, began as any other day for Elvis Garcia.

Around 8:30 a.m., he arrives at Roger Williams Middle School

(RWMS) in Providence’s Southside where he attends sixth grade.

He volleys between classes for the next six hours, anxiously

awaiting science; his last class of the day. | B Y R o s e A m o R o s

The bell rings. It’s finally time, and Elvis rushes off to join 14 of his classmates in room 104 with Mr. Pierce.

The class, part of a pilot expanded learn-ing program at the school, blends the tra-ditional school day with the afterschool world. Teachers and students explore math, science, and literacy through hands-on experiences that connect them more deeply to their local environ-ment – and to each other.

It’s this latter piece that Pierce counts as the real game changer in students’ lives.

“The most important part of my job is teaching social skills,” explains Pierce. “You have to here. Without that, the pedagogy goes out the window. This program is a great way to connect with the kids. It’s not just over at 3:30. You go on field trips, and you really get to bond. That bond is the most important thing – even more important than the content.”

6 T I D E S S P R I N G 2 0 1 2

The average student at RWMS is below proficiency in reading, math, and science; a fact that prompted school officials last year to intervene in order to turn the school around.

The AfterZone Scholars program, which is a partnership between community organizations like Save The Bay and the Providence School Department and Providence Afterschool Alliance, is a part of this effort.

For Thursday’s class, Save The Bay edu-cator Grainne Lanigan is co-teaching with Pierce. The students are learning

about the species living in the Benthic Zone of the Bay. They are headed out on the boat to conduct a trawl.

What the group doesn’t know is it will soon witness history. And Elvis is about to be propelled into the spotlight.

Arriving to the Bay Center at Fields Point in Providence that afternoon, Elvis and crew board the boat and set out to begin trawl-ing for scup, squid, and other specimen.

Within minutes, they make an awesome discovery; a pod of eight to ten dolphins swimming just off the Point. This is no typical day. No one has ever spotted dol-phins this far north.

Lanigan grabs a phone and records Elvis as they make the discovery.

“I’m Elvis Garcia,” he starts in. “And I’m from Roger Williams Middle School.”

Before long, Elvis is a Facebook sen-sation, reporting the discovery and the reasons behind it to every Rhode Islander within an earshot of local airwaves or a smartphone. For those few moments,

I think this program has helped him because the hands-on piece helps kids. It nurtures them. They don’t get frustrated with school. They want to do more.”

– Mr. Pierce

7 S A V E B A Y. O R G

Elvis is our Baykeeper – a young scien-tist with an infectious smile and an astute knowledge of the Bay.

“It was a good day,” recalls Elvis. “We were the first ones to see dolphins in this part of the Bay. It was really exciting.”

Elvis lives within walking distance of Narragansett Bay but had never been on it until this program. Now he can’t get enough and hopes one day to be a marine biologist or doctor. Either way, Pierce knows Elvis will succeed. “[Elvis] is going to do great things,” said Pierce. “I think this program has helped him because the hands-on piece helps kids. It nurtures them. They don’t get frus-trated with school. They want to do more.”

“He’s a natural leader as well as an extremely intelligent boy. I’m not sur-

prised at all he was the face [breaking the story]. I knew that going in!”

Elvis achieved proficiency in all subjects this year; an achievement Pierce attributes to quality programming at school but equally to parental involvement. Elvis agrees.

“My dad is my role model because he always tells me how to do stuff,” said Elvis. “When I was little I had trouble with school but then he started to teach me and then I got good at it. And that’s cool.”

It’s very cool.

Isn’t the Bay saved by now? A valid question considering the 41

years of effort Save The Bay has put into doing just that – saving

Narragansett Bay. The truth is it’s closer to being saved than it

was 41 years ago, but the truth also is we’ll likely not be claiming

a victory on this one any time soon. | B Y J o n A T h A n s T o n e

Isn’t the baySAVED BY NOW?

9 S A V E B A Y. O R G

Yes, the Bay was never paved over as the clever, satirical campaign of the 1980’s posited. But it’s also not yet the hub of community, commerce, and recreation we believe it can one day be.

If it were saved, people would be swim-ming and eating shellfish harvested right off Fields Point in Providence. Both are currently banned in the Upper Bay.

If it were saved, scores of winter flounder would once again frolic in Mt. Hope Bay. If it were saved, public rights of way would be restored throughout the state, ensuring equal access to the shore for everyone.

If it were saved, migratory fish could bypass outdated dams on our rivers to

reach their ancestral spawning grounds.

If it were saved, there wouldn’t be viola-tions of the Clean Water Act by waterfront business owners. And if it were saved, there wouldn’t be beach closures, fish kills, or algae blooms. All of these things, unfortunately, still occur. We remain in active ‘saving’ mode. But every day, we take another step forward.

In 2011, there were many moments to celebrate for the Bay – and for our com-munity. Last summer, Rhode Islanders won an eight-year-long battle against Hess, defeating the company’s LNG ter-minal proposal.

10 T I D E S S P R I N G 2 0 1 2

We also celebrated ten years of on-the-water education with our flagship vessel, Alletta Morris, and played a critical role in the removal of the dam at Pawtuxet River Falls.

In 2012, our work will continue – to find long-term solutions to our nutrient chal-

lenges, to balance coastal development pressures with the interests of the Bay, to expand public access, and to inspire future generations of baykeepers.

The Bay isn’t saved yet. But we’ll keep at it.

Save The Bay MeeTS McBean chariTaBle TruST challenge granT

Thanks to the McBean Charitable Trust, The Champlin Foundations and generous individual donors, Save The Bay will be taking its education program to the next level in 2012. The completion of the McBean Charitable Trust Challenge Grant, received as part of Save The Bay’s K.E.Y.S. campaign, will allow the organization to invest in upgraded technology and equipment to enhance its marine education programs.

K.E.Y.S., an acronym for Keep Educating Young Scientists, is a call to action to the community to help Save The Bay bridge a short-term funding gap caused by the loss of a $1 million federal earmark last year. It includes both capital investments and multiyear funding for education programs targeting core urban communities.

“I am convinced that the future health of the bay is dependent on the love that

we feel for it,” said Diana Oehrli – whose donation was instrumental in meeting the grant challenge. “Exposing children to the beauty of the ocean and its shores will create a connection that will grow into a deep bond. Once this bond is created,

children will feel compelled to protect it. It’s as simple as that.”

Over the past 20 years, Save The Bay’s marine science education program, Explore The Bay, has grown from a small, excursion-based program to an expan-sive standards-based program that has been integrated into the public school curriculums in 29 of 36 school districts in Rhode Island.

save The Bay still needs committed donors who are interested in investing in the future of the bay

through the education of tomorrow’s bay stewards. make an investment in local, hands-on science

education today through Save The bay’s marine education program. To be part of this exciting program,

Caught off the waters of Newport, Spoticus, named in honor of the embat-tled Thracian gladiator by a Facebook follower, was donated by the fishery given how rare Spoticus is.

Calico lobsters, estimated to be one in 30 million, are covered in bright orange and black mottled spots – which sets them apart from a typical American lobster. Their

vibrant coloring is due to a mutation in the lobster’s genetic code. Other color morph varieties include blue, yellow, green, black, white, and ‘half&half’ lobsters.

While quite extraordinary, this coloring makes calicos vulnerable in the wild. Unable to camouflage themselves in their natural habitats along the ocean floor, calicos are prime targets for pred-ators; a reality that adds to their rarity. The average American lobster has a greenish-brown shell that blends well into the ocean’s rocky bottom.

Spoticus will take up residence in the Aquarium’s Narragansett Bay at Night exhibit – which mimics the habitat of Narragansett Bay’s floor. Lobsters are by nature solitary animals so Spoticus will live separately from other residents; however, he is not the only color morph to call Save The Bay home.

Blu, a blue color morph donated by the Aquidneck Lobster Company last year, is also a popular attraction at the Aquarium.

Aquarium visitors can also interact with interesting species native to Narragan-sett Bay such as the mantis shrimp, sea raven, sea star, and pufferfish – as well as endangered creatures like the Northern Diamondback Terrapin.

In fact, the Aquarium is the only public facility in Rhode Island where you’ll find these terrapins. And recently, it became a refuge location for injured terrapins that can no longer survive in their natural salt marsh habitat. These little guys face many threats in the wild from develop-ment to boaters to pollution.

The Exploration Center & Aquarium on Easton’s Beach in Newport is open Sundays, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and daily during school vacations. May through September, it will be open daily from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free for Save The Bay members and for children 3 and under. Adult tickets are $6.00.

After a decade of planning, the Pawtuxet Falls Dam was removed, restoring the connection between the Bay and the Pawtuxet River and access to 7.5 miles of historic spawning area for river herring and American shad.

Save The Bay introduced 11,000 spawning bay scallops to Point Judith Pond in Narragansett. Once abundant, scallop populations have been in decline due to habitat loss, overfishing, brown tides and other factors.

Students across Rhode Island grew salt marsh plants in school nurseries and planted them at Save The Bay’s salt marsh restoration sites at the Bay Center in Providence, Silver Creek in Bristol, Allins Cove in Barrington, and Goose-neck Cove in Newport.

Over 100 volunteers hand dug small creeks in Newport’s Gooseneck Cove, restoring a salt marsh that has suffered from over a century of limited connection to the ocean.

A free flowing river reconnected to Narragansett Bay and hundreds of

This year’s discussion centered around the proposed Clean Water Bond for 2012. In January, Governor Chafee sub-mitted a budget proposal, calling for $12 million in funding for wastewater infra-structure improvements and $8 million for drinking water projects.

Save The Bay is calling for the General Assembly to include this $20 million Clean Water Bond on this year’s ballot.

Proceeds from the bond would be matched by federal dollars 5:1 and go into the Rhode Island Clean Water

Finance Agency’s (RICWFA) revolving fund. The State Revolving Funds (SRFs) are a critical source of funding for Rhode Island communities faced with waste-water treatment plant upgrades as well as water suppliers improving their crum-bling pipes and aging plants.

RICWFA, given its AAA rating, is able to pass on lower borrowing and transaction costs to financially stressed communities.

Wastewater and drinking water funding needs in Rhode Island are considerable. For wastewater alone, the priority project list, compiled by the Department of Envi-ronmental Management, represents an investment of $1.2 billion; $168 million of which is classified by RICWFA as ‘Ready To Go’ projects.

This year, RICWFA has $68 million in funding available – a significant shortfall

given the project need. And the chal-lenge of meeting this need increases every day.

Communities and plant operators throughout Rhode Island are faced with aging infrastructure, higher treatment standards, and vulnerable low-lying pump stations. Adding to the challenge are stormwater management issues and the need to extend sewer lines and replace old or failing cesspools and septic systems.

Decades of water quality improvements in Narragansett Bay would be under-mined if immediate investments are not made in wastewater treatment upgrades.

Among the benefits of a clean Bay are open shellfish beds, vibrant waterfronts, clean beaches, productive maritime industries, thriving tourism, and strong commercial and recreational fishing industries. The health of the state’s economy relies on these assets.

Similarly, water suppliers rely on the state’s drinking water revolving fund to provide critical funding to ensure Rhode Island’s drinking water system is both safe and reliable.

In the Governor’s budget, the $20 million in clean water funding is paired with a second equally important bond proposal. This second bond, totaling $25 million, would fund projects covering habitat res-toration and stormwater management, farmland and open space preservation, and enhancement of the state’s parks and recreational assets.

Rhode Islanders have overwhelmingly supported similar bonds in the past. Save The Bay will continue to work dili-gently to ensure these bonds make it to the ballot this year.

Scrap metal recycling operation at 434 Allens Avenue in Providence.

23 S A V E B A Y. O R G

For many, it’s hard to imagine that only a decade ago, the smell of raw sewage permeated the air in Providence after a heavy rainstorm and a peculiar brown sludge greeted visitors to the river’s shore.

It’s hard to imagine because we’ve worked so hard to change this.

In recent years, upgrades to wastewater treatment have led to significant improve-ments in water quality. For example, in 2008, phase one of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s combined sewer overflow (CSO) project went operational. A massive underground tunnel was built under the city to capture and store

SCRAPPINGON THE RIVER

It wasn’t that long ago that the Providence River was more

sewer than fishing hole – more dumping ground for industrial and

municipal pollution than playground for dolphins, striped bass,

river herring, seals, and other wildlife. | B Y J o n A T h A n s T o n e

24 T I D E S S P R I N G 2 0 1 2

sewage and polluted storm waters so it could be treated before being discharged into the river.

By 2010, bacteria monitoring data collected by the Rhode Island Depart-ment of Health showed nearby beaches met safe swimming standards more than 85 percent of the time; this is consistent with data collected for Easton’s Beach in Newport.

We’ve come a long way. We can’t afford to slip backwards.

In November 2011, Save The Bay sent a letter to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) and the state’s Coastal Resources Manage-ment Council (CRMC) to express its concerns with ongoing violations of the

federal Clean Water Act by RI Recycled Metals (RIRM).

What Save The Bay alleges is not in dispute.

RIRM, located at 434 Allens Avenue in Providence, is operating as a scrap-yard and ship-breaking facility without the appropriate permits and stormwater containment measures in place that similar operations of its size and scope would have.

Every time it rains, the discharge from this facility – which consists of oil, gas, and other fluids – flows directly into the river. This must be addressed.

Just as a liquor store cannot open its doors without the required permit, a scra-

pyard should not be able to. While we understand RIRM is in conversation with DEM and is working on a plan, conver-sations do not constitute valid permits or an end to the pollution.

This business has been in operation since 2009. It remains in business today.

Just last month, DEM responded to Save The Bay’s concerns, noting a plan will be forthcoming. Again, plans do not consti-tute remedy.

Save The Bay has reviewed DEM’s files on RIRM. In May 2010, DEM inspected the site in response to a citizen complaint. On June 10, 2010, DEM issued a Notice of Intent to Enforce for pollution discharge violations. By August 17, 2011, DEM issued a Letter of Non-Compliance to the facility, citing violations of the rules guiding remediation of hazardous mate-rials. In January 2012, DEM inspected the site again. And by February 2012, RIRM was still not in compliance.

In April 2011, CRMC issued a Cease and Desist Order to the facility for failure to install and maintain containment measures required for the relocation,

demolition, and removal of the Russian submarine Juliet.

It remains unclear whether the operator took any steps to address these viola-tions.

RIRM’s original CRMC permit, we under-stand, was intended only for the tempo-rary purpose of dismantling the Russian submarine. It has since mushroomed into an entirely different use – for which RIRM has not yet secured the applicable CRMC or DEM permits with adequate public disclosure on permit conditions.RIRM should be held accountable for implementing the necessary and required improvements. And DEM should impose significant penalties, if immediate steps are not taken.

While the service that companies like RIRM provide to the community is impor-tant, it should not come at the expense of clean and healthy waters.

There can be no double standard regarding the application of law. The Bay is much too valuable to Rhode Island to give any company a free pass to set back years of progress.

While healthy amounts of nutrients are vital to plant and animal life, excessive amounts lead to diminished oxygen levels in the water – which can suffo-cate fish and shellfish. Scientists, policy makers, and wastewater treatment plant operators continue to debate what the threshold should be for nutrients dis-charged into the rivers from treatment plants in Worcester, Woonsocket, Brock-ton, Taunton, and Fall River.

The two largest plants, Worcester and Brockton, sit at the head of the rivers,

contributing over 90 percent of the river’s flow during the summer. During storm events, flow volume triples – as these plants attempt to process added stormwater.

The flow volume dominates small streams, inundating them with nutrient pollution and impacting valuable fish populations.

The permit for the Worcester plant is cur-rently in litigation, and permits for plants in the Taunton watershed are due soon.

Wastewater is once again in the spotlight as both Massachusetts

and Rhode Island grapple with decreasing the amount of nutrients

entering Narragansett Bay from its two largest tributaries, the

Blackstone and Taunton Rivers. | B Y R A C h e L C A L A B R o

EPA Cracks Down on Nutrient Limits for

Wastewater Plants

27 S A V E B A Y. O R G

The uS Epa Region 1 issued a permit in 2008,

requiring the upper blackstone Water pollution

abatement District (ubWpaD) to make major

reductions in the amount of nitrogen and

phosphorus it discharges into the blackstone

River. The plant has demonstrated that these

limits are achievable, yet the permit is still in

litigation. Epa will soon issue permits in the

Taunton River watershed.

Save The bay strongly supports the Epa’s

efforts to curb nutrient pollution. Downstream

wastewater treatment plants, including the

narragansett bay Commission’s Fields point

plant, are already making major investments

in nutrient removal and the time is now for

ubWpaD to do the same. urge your Senators

and Congressmen to support the Epa’s action.

High flows from wastewater treatment disrupt plant growth.

27 S A V E B A Y. O R G

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin recently sent a letter to the Rhode Island Congressional delegation, urging them to support the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency in upholding nutrient limits and countering the efforts of the Massachusetts Department of Envi-ronmental Protection to delay the Worces-ter permit.

Rhode Island treatment plants have begun or completed the necessary upgrades to their operations. Kilmartin, like Save The Bay, is calling for Massachusetts to do the same so water quality downstream in Rhode Island is not compromised.

This threat of compromise is very real.

The city of Woonsocket recently petitioned the Rhode Island Department of Environ-mental Management to reopen its permit in the wake of the Worcester controversy. Given Woonsocket’s ongoing economic issues, political pressure to ease limits is growing.

Save The Bay continues to monitor nutri-ent levels in the Bay and fight for needed upgrades to wastewater plants through-out the watershed.

Save The Bay celebrated 10 years of on-the-water education with its flagship vessel, Alletta Morris. Seal Watch Cruises also celebrated 10 years of service, with more than 600 trips and 16,000 patrons served since 2002.

The Explore The Bay program served 13,470 students through more than 750 school-based programs.

The Explore The Bay program experienced a 13% increase in program revenues and 49% increase in grant revenue over 2010.

The Explore The Bay program was one of two science programs selected by the Providence School District and Providence Afterschool Alliance to develop an expanded learning program for Roger Williams Middle School – a designated turn-around school on the Capitol city’s southside.

Rhode Island Education Commissioner Deborah Gist visited the Save The Bay Center in Providence.

as Charles Dickens wrote, “it was the best of times,

it was the worst of times.” From a certain vantage

point these words sum up Fy11. Each year presents

its own challenges and opportunities, and Fy11 was

no exception.

by December 2010, mid-way through the fiscal year, it

became clear to staff and the board that political changes

sweeping Washington, D.C. would have serious conse-

quences for many non-profits, Save The bay included.

For years the national oceanic and atmospheric admin-

istration (noaa) distributed federal dollars to Save The

bay for the purpose of underwriting our marine-science

education programs. These programs target urban and

under-served districts in the state. in Fy10, this funding

accounted for 30% of our overall budget and two-thirds

of our education budget.

The elimination of the noaa funding threatened both

our education and advocacy work. Fortunately, we

began several years ago to accelerate our efforts to

increase program revenues and grant funding to diver-

sify our base of financial support. We also appealed to

you, our members and supporters, to sustain Save The

bay through a difficult transition period.

in this challenge came an opportunity: to sharpen

our focus and re-dedicate ourselves to effective and

efficient pursuit of our mission. The net result of our

close examination of revenue opportunities, operat-

ing costs and program goals has been dramatic prog-

ress in ensuring that our advocacy, restoration, and

education programs are sustained into the future.

in a landmark victory for the bay, we prevailed in dra-

matic fashion against the Hess Corporation’s ill-con-

ceived and damaging proposal to construct an lnG

terminal in mt. Hope bay. Hess withdrew its proposal

in June. We also registered significant milestones in

our advocacy, restoration, and education work.

While we celebrate these achievements, there

remains much to be done to restore ecological health

to narragansett bay. We thank you - our members,

donors, and supporters – for sustaining this progress

through challenging times.

It takes a community to protect and restore our local waters and educate our next gen-eration of Bay stewards. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of the thousands of individuals, businesses, foundations and organizations who support us every day. Without your investment, our work would not be possible.

The stories you read within this issue of Tides are made possible by YOU!

Please join us in recognizing those who gave $100 or more during calendar year 2011. And please take a moment to cele-brate all you do for the Bay. We thank you!

in graTiTude

When my kids were little, we used to play a game with our arms stretched wide, saying I love you ThIssss… much! Well, from those of us at save The Bay, imagine our arms stretched wide— as wide as the Bay from newport to Providence or from Westerly to Bristol. We are so grateful for each and every gift which allows us to educate, protect and restore our precious waters. We thank you every day for allowing us to do this work.”

Save The Bay’s K.E.Y.S. campaign was launched in 2011 in response to the

loss of an annual $1 million federal earmark that supported our education

program. The goal of this campaign is to raise $200,000 a year over the

next three years. Our plan is to make this “bridge” funding temporary. By

Fiscal 2014, we expect our education program to be self-funded.

The 2011 Swim brought together nearly 2,000 people, including a

record number of 466 swimmers who completed the 1.7-mile trek from

Newport to Jamestown. Swimmers, ranging in age from 15 to 83, hailed

from 20 U.S. states and Canada.

You Have Great Impact!In a year when program support was more important than ever, the Swim raised more than $317,000. 147 volunteers contributed 645 hours to the event — an in-kind donation value of more than $11,000.

All proceeds benefit our core programmatic efforts to protect, restore, and explore Narragansett Bay, its watershed, and coastal waters.

Special recogniTion: Save The Bay volunTeerSOur volunteers are the heart of Save The Bay. Each year, thousands of

individuals, corporations, community organizations, clubs and schools

contribute time to many of Save The Bay’s volunteer activities.

This past year, our volunteers dug in salt marshes, counted scallop spat, planted salt marsh grasses, removed trash from the shoreline, marked storm drains, monitored countless sites around the Bay, assisted in our special events, educated our future Bay stewards, and documented every project over the past year. Our volunteers

continually donate their time, energy, and talents each time we put out the call – no matter how big or small the task.

We are grateful to the nearly 2,000 of you who helped to make Narragansett Bay a better place in 2011!

In 2011, 1,941 volunteers donated 11,268 hours of their time to Save The bay— a $243,470.54

in-kind value to the organization. if you are interested in volunteering for Save The bay, please contact

Stephany Hessler at 401-272-3540, ext. 130 or shessler@savebay.org.

financial reporTSave The Bay weathered serious financial headwinds in FY11. Through hard work and difficult decisions, the staff and Board have made great strides in positioning the organization for long-term financial health.

Federal support for Save The Bay declined abruptly by 31% in FY11, a casualty of policy changes in Washington, D.C. The prime beneficiary of this lost funding had been our very successful education program. To ensure the program’s continu-ity, the Board voted to fulfill our Spring and Summer 2011 obligations, in spite of the loss of funding, to the students who were already scheduled to attend the program. Although we ended the year with an operating loss of nearly $300,000 (largely because of our conscious commitment to fulfill this obligation), it should not cause us to lose sight of the importance of preserv-ing our reputation and the huge strides that were made under difficult conditions.

While overall expenses for the year were up 3%, general and administrative expenses were down 26% and operat-ing expenses for the protect and restore programs were down 20%. This reflects the many difficult corrective steps that

were taken swiftly after the loss of federal funding; steps that will continue to yield an ongoing financial benefit.

Additionally, the Annual Bay Swim was extraordinarily successful, contributions grew 26%, grant support increased 13%, program revenues grew 22%, and the Annual Fund received a very gener-ous response.

The organization has successfully navi-gated a tough financial year. Much remains to be done, but there is ever-mounting evidence of the organization regaining its solid financial footing. We look forward to the continuing generosity and support of our many constituents – without whom none of our work would be possible.

On a final note, Save The Bay has again received an “unqualified” opinion from its auditors. The organization continues to do an exemplary job of managing its books and maintaining strong internal controls.

The financial statements of Save The bay, inc. are audited by CCR, llp of providence, Ri. Copies of

complete audited financial statements are available upon request.

RhoDE iSLanD iS wiDELY REGaRDED aS

HAvING ONE OF THE NATION’S MOST DIS-

TINCT AND RICH ENvIRONMENTS. Iconic images dotting the state’s landscape, from sunset over Narragansett Bay to scenic beachfront, continue to be pow-erful drivers for tourism and sources of great pride for residents.

They too have played muse to artists around the world – as well as those living and working within arm’s length of the bay.

On November 17, more than 100 people crowded into the Save The Bay Center in Providence for opening night of the Artists for Save The Bay Sale & Exhibit. Some 200 original works of art inspired by these iconic images transformed the Center into a bayscape wonderland.

Guests also enjoyed fresh pasta hors d’oeuvres, courtesy of Carrabba’s Italian

Stripers at Dusk by Peter Ogle

Grill, and entertainment, compliments of Lois Vaughan’s Jazz Trio.

The annual event was conceived by Tom Deininger, a Bristol resident and par-ticipating artist, who wanted to create a platform to showcase the works of local artists while also supporting the efforts of Save The Bay. The result: Artists for Save The Bay was born in 2005 – with 50 percent of proceeds benefiting Save The Bay programs and more than 70 artists participating by 2011.

This year’s sale & exhibit, which ran through December 27, showcased paint-ing, photography, sculpture, stationery, and jewelry valued between $50 and $3,000. More than 50 pieces were pur-chased over the six-week period, raising $22,000 for Save The Bay.

Save The Bay thanks this year’s sponsors for their continued support: RI Monthly, Motif Magazine, bioprocessH2O, Prov-Port, and Waterson Terminal Services.

THE WORD ‘MEETING’ OFTEN CON-JURES UP IMAGES OF BOARDROOMS AND NOTEPADS – not chowder and cel-ebration. But in true Save The Bay style, this year’s Annual Meeting, sponsored by Whole Foods Market, is anything but conventional.

The meeting, held on March 4 at the Bay Center, takes a look back at the orga-nization’s achievements over the years

while honoring the people and organi-zations that made them possible. Yes, there’s a brief business meeting, but it’s more about enjoying some good ole fashioned chowder, catching up with old friends, and celebrating the good works of people in our community. This year’s award recipients include:

Paul EarnshawThe Alison J. Walsh Award for Outstanding Environmental Advocacy

Paul Earnshaw is the President of the Buckeye Brook Coalition. As President, he’s brought new members into the fold, ushering in a new era of community outreach and involvement for the group.

He engages with national organizations to investigate offshore causes of herring run population declines and actively advocates for the protection of Buckeye Brook. In addition, Paul leads paddle tours of the Brook, cleans it regularly, and assists with the Coalition’s annual herring run direct fish count.

Joshua LaplanteSave The Bay Environmental Achievement Award

Joshua Laplante, a teacher at Central Falls High School, has been instrumental in the success of Save The Bay’s Narragansett Bay Field Studies Program with Central Falls High School. The partnership was forged eight years ago – with Joshua assuming leadership of it four years ago. Since then, it has grown to a year-round program, including a week-long summer camp for high performing field studies participants along with two student internships with Save The Bay’s education department. When federal funding for the program was suspended, Joshua worked with Fran Gallo, the Superintendent of Central Falls Schools, to secure the necessary funding from the district in order to keep the program alive.

Schneider Electric, Community impACT ProgramThe Esther B. Small Volunteer of the Year Award

The Community ImpACT Program is Schneider Electric’s charitable giving program, focused on the areas of education, environment, global citizenship, innovation, science and technology. Schneider Electric aims to inspire curiosity and promote responsible global citizenship in current and future generations by involving their staff in community actions. Year after year, Schneider employees give their time to assist with the Bay Swim and with Save The Bay restoration and outreach projects around the state. The support of corporate partners like Schneider Electric allows Save The Bay to consistently fund and carry out projects that are vital to its mission.
